Yao Ran traced the words in the letter and continued, "I don’t know the full details, but in my past life, Lan Lifei told me that Lan Guanghui was not my real father.
"When my mother married him, she was already pregnant with me. At that time, Lan Guanghui was married to Chen Meilin, who was also pregnant with Lan Lifei."
"Because Lan Guanghui wanted to seize the Yao family’s wealth, he divorced Chen Meilin and approached my mother. Their marriage was a contract, but only my mother and the Lan family knew about it."
Long Yu took her hand and asked, "Then how do you know for sure that Gu Zhaoyan is your biological father?"
Yao Ran fell into deep thought before replying, "After my rebirth, I decided to sell everything. The Gu Group bought all my shares and took over Yao Group. Besides the shares, CEO Gu also purchased all of my mother’s jewelry and her wedding villa."
"When Assistant He informed me of this, I already had my suspicions, but I had no time to dwell on the past. It wasn’t until he and his people accidentally stumbled upon your air raid shelter that I became certain—Gu Zhaoyan is my biological father."
She smiled slightly and added, "We share the same taste in food, the same living habits, and even our favorite colors are identical. I had secretly done a DNA test before with the help of Uncle Xu, and the results were as I expected."
Seeing the sadness in her eyes as she gazed at the diamond ring, Long Yu asked, "What do you plan to do now? Will you tell him that you are his biological daughter?"
Yao Ran remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Since he hasn’t told me about his past with my mother himself, I will pretend I don’t know."
"You know very well that in our world today, someone may die in the next second. Won’t you regret that later?" Long Yu asked gently, a hint of concern in his voice. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Yao Ran shook her head. She took a deep breath and replied resolutely, "I never had a father before, and I don’t need one now. Having you and our friends is enough."
Hearing this, Long Yu pulled her into his arms, kissed the top of her head, and held her in comforting silence.
The next day, Yao Ran was woken up by the sound of knocking. She got out of bed and went to open the door, only to see Jia Xiang, Deng Qiqi, and Huang Zhihui standing there.
"Good morning," she greeted them, then stepped aside to let them in. "Why are you guys here so early? Do you need something?"
Jia Xiang smiled and replied, "We came to invite you to explore this place with us. Do you want to go?"
Yao Ran pondered for a moment before agreeing. "Yes. Please wait a moment while I get ready."
"Alright."
After closing the door, Yao Ran went to freshen up while Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi waited in the living room.
When she came out of the bathroom, Long Yu had just woken up and asked, "Are you going somewhere?"
"Mhm. Sister Jia, Zhihui, and Qiqi invited me to check this place out," Yao Ran replied as she carried her backpack and strapped her long sword to her waist.
Since he had a meeting with Xu Ruihan and the others later, Long Yu couldn’t go with her. He nodded and reminded her, "Be careful out there and contact me if anything happens."
