Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 346  Frank Acknowledgement

Although Yan Wenxiu and Bai Rouyun had a clear resemblance with one another, Bai Rouyun had never once considered them to be biologically related.

In her past life, she had grown up as an orphan without any kind of backing, and often wished to experience the love of kinship, but after being reborn, even though she knew that the Bai family in Richu Empire was not her own family, she had been in contact with the Bai family from Wushi Continent, and had forgotten that they were the biological parents of her past body, not the one she had now.

Having memories from her previous incarnation had caused Bai Rouyun to become somewhat ignorant and confused about her own ties to various families, and so far, all the families she had encountered, the only one who had provided her with a feeling of closeness was Yun Mingshen.

Since she had Yun Mingshen as a cousin, she no longer considered anyone else to be her blood-related family. She did not dare to wish for more than she had already gained, so she tried to suppress her knowledge of having any other biological family members.

Her clear ignorance caused both Li Moyun and Yan Wenxiu to smile slightly and helplessly, but both of them also understood that the young woman was not being ditzy without a reason.

With her intelligence, it would not be hard to understand the hints that Yan Wenxiu had shared, but due to her fear of disappointment, Bai Rouyun's mind would never consider anything in that direction.

"Dearest, you do not have to be afraid." Li Moyun knew Bai Rouyun the best, and he also knew that although she was subconsciously not connecting Yan Wenxiu with herself, she was close to breaking through the paperscreen that blocked her reason.

Bai Rouyun shivered as she heard Li Moyun's words. She could not help but raise her head somewhat helplessly and look at her husband with lost and somewhat timid eyes. Although she was capable of facing off against an enemy without blinking, or risking her life in pursuit of greater strength, she was geniunely weak when it came to emotional matters. In fact, emotions were what she feared the most.

"It's okay." Li Moyun's heart melted into a puddle and he felt as if someone was squeezing his lifeline tightly as he noticed her confused eyes.

Reaching out his arms, Li Moyun gently wrapped the young woman into his arms and gently patted her back. His actions were familiar and gentle, and he also quickly managed to soothe her uneasy emotions that were threatening to break out.

However, while Bai Rouyun was slowly being calmed down, Yan Wenxiu's expression was getting more and more glum.

He had been in despair for a long time, thinking that his beloved was gone and he would never get to see her again, but the heavens had eyes and let him reunite with his daughter. Unfortunately, she had already grown into a great flower that had bloomed and attracted a wild pig, eager to gobble it up.

He, who had planted the seed, but never seen the growth of his cute flower, suddenly found that he might not even get to see her much now that she was grown up, as a vulgar pig had already stolen her.

His emotions were extremely complicated, but, as he had considered earlier, Li Moyun was defintely not bad. Not only this, Yan Wenxiu was also very self-aware. Although he was the biological father of Bai Rouyun, he had no rights to demand anything from her. If anything, he owed her far too much in this life.

"So, he is my biological dad?" Bai Rouyun was able to quickly understand the current situation and she quickly calmed down whenever she felt the care and security she felt when close to Li Moyun.

"Should be." Li Moyun nodded his head and gently reached out his hand to sweep a lock of wayward hair behind her ear.

Bai Rouyun did not answer right away but spent some time to organize her current identity and relationships. With Bai Liqiang as a reference, Bai Rouyun was somewhat worried about what this Yan Wenxiu might demand from her.

However she soon found that some fathers were really good at spoiling their daughters without requesting anything in return, while others wanted to use their daughters to obtain the most benefits possible.

Yan Wenxiu and Bai Liqiang cound never be compared to one another, as their worldview and pursuits were wastly different.

"Rouyun, I understand if it might be a bit difficult to accept. I do not expect you to suddenly acknowledge me without getting to know one each others personalities. However, although I have already failed to be a reliable father, I still have to give you some information about your parents and your origin. I will never force you to accept me, but I hope you can give me time to, at least, explain."

Although Yan Wenxiu was a deity and had a status that Bai Liqiang could never reach, Yan Wenxiu was much more approachable. When looking at the two fathers, Bai Rouyun could clearly see the real-life version of a frog at the bottom of the well.

Since Yan Wenxiu was this approachable, Bai Rouyun naturally wanted to be as open towards him, and she quickly calmed her emotions. The four sat down side by side, and Bai Rouyun also began to describe her two lifetimes and how she had become the person she was now.
