“Why are you here? Weren’t you not feeling well, saying that you wanted to rest?” Beitang Ao raised his eyebrows and asked.
“I wanted to see the fireworks, so I came over,” Lin Yanyan stared straight at the child in Yan Feili’s arms. “This child… General Yan, is this your child? It looks like you.”
Yan Fei held the child tightly, not knowing how to answer. Li’er didn’t know the timing, suddenly giggled, and stretched out his hand to Beitang Ao, “Daddy, hug!”
These days, Beitang Ao was so proud that he came to see the child daily. Thus, this was the sentence that Li’er learned first. Beitang Ao took Li’er and hugged him, sighed, looked at Lin Yanyan’s pale face, and said, “Yanyan, he is not General Yan’s son but mine. ”
Large swaths of snowflakes fell, reflecting the fireworks still in the sky that was filled with festive celebrations.
Lin Yanyan’s delicate face became a little pale, her body swayed, and the people behind her held her in place, “Husband, what are you talking about?”
“I said he is my son. ”
Lin Yanyan looked at Li’er blankly and then at Beitang Ao. When she saw the child’s appearance, she had already guessed it in her heart. This child was at least seven of ten points similar to Beitang Ao. Her husband appeared in front of her with a child, claiming that it was his flesh and blood. Anyone should panic. Also, Yan Feili’s face was a little bit unbearable in her heart.
“I’ll talk about this later. It’s snowing, go back and rest first.” Beitang Ao didn’t expect that this incident would be known to Lin Yanyan under such unexpected circumstances.
Although he did not deliberately conceal it, it was not a good time to explain everything.
Lin Yanyan’s eyes fell on the child’s face first then her eyes slowly drifted toward Yan Feili whose face chilled her spine. Her deep eyes were misty like a thousand years old secluded lake.

He recalled the event that happened a year ago from this moment. He was struggling with this bed. The pain of being almost torn apart lingered inside him. Now, the little person born from his own body was sleeping soundly beside him. His little face that had not yet grown already showed a good look for the future.
He didn’t know what fate will be to meet him in the future… This child will live better than he did! This child was not only his son but also the proud son of Beitang Ao!
But, Lin Yanyan, Yan Feili wondered if this woman can tolerate the child. He didn’t know how she would be when she heard this. Yan Feili was a man, he couldn’t understand women’s thoughts, although he loved Beitang Ao like Lin Yanyan.
For so many years, his love had no reason, no extravagance, no delusion, and no right.
But Lin Yanyan was different from him.
The next morning, when Yan Fei left the bed and was changing clothes for the child, a servant of Shenmei Courtyard came to pass the message that the Madam wanted to see him.
Yan Feili’s hand paused and lamented, “I see, this is over.”
He gave the child to Cui Nu and went to see Lin Yanyan.
There was a brazier around the elegant room, burning incense, warm and mellow, clear and elegant. Lin Yanyan sat behind the thick curtain, everyone was unable to see the shape.
“Yan Feili came to see the Madam.”
“General Yan does not need to be polite, please sit down,” Lin Yanyan’s voice was still so soft but it was different from the past. It had a trace of depression and a trace of fatigue.
“General Yan, I’m going to speak precisely with you as well. You were there last night. The Sect Master said that the child in your arms is his flesh and blood. You know about this.”
This was not a question, but an affirmation. Yan Feili was prepared in renunciation and answered calmly, “Yes.”
“I heard that this child has been identified as your foster child?”
“… Yes.”
“General Yan, your words may hurt the child, ah. Last night I looked hastily. Today, after a long one good look, it looks very similar to the Sect Master…”
Yan Feili didn’t know what she meant and didn’t dare to respond. Listening to her tone of voice, he felt a little uneasy.
“General Yan, my husband had children with other women outside. His subordinates know, but I was kept in the shadows!”
“Madam, this matter… The Sect Master did not deliberately conceal it.”
“Oh? General Yan, you are loyal to the Sect Master,” Lin Yanyan’s tone seemed to imply mockery.
“Subordinates should do their best to support their Sect Master.”
“You do your utmost to the Sect Master. What about the Madam?”
“Naturally… Just like the Sect Master.”
Lin Yanyan heard how impossible he was for a moment. She hesitated and chuckled slightly, “In that case, General Yan, if I ask you anything, you have to answer it truthfully.”
“Yes,” Yan Fei jumped slightly with cold sweat already in his palms.
“Then I ask you, whose womb is this child from?” Lin Yanyan asked slowly after a word.
“…This subordinate doesn’t know.”
“You don’t know…” Lin Yanyan sighed softly. The sound of the teacup falling from the curtain was crisp. “General Yan, you are the foster father of your child. After being brought back, your child was not sent to this Shenmei Courtyard but continued to stay in your Bamboo Garden. Now, why are you reluctant to separate from the child?”
Yan Feili didn’t know how much Lin Yanyan was told about this matter, so he didn’t dare to lead the conversation.
This happened suddenly and both of them were a little caught off guard. He was called by Lin Yanyan early this morning. He will have to communicate with the Sect Master in the future.
Yan Feili was at a loss. Then the door of the elegant room was suddenly opened, and Beitang Ao walked in slowly.
P.S Even though I already read the raw I can’t still help commenting things well probably because the translation is really much better than MTL)Thanks for the chapter<3
Phew glad BA came in when he did. Lady YanYan I feel your pain but please save your questions for your husband. My only hope is all this drama won’t take baby Lier from Feili. This is also a reality check of the consequences of their affair.
+1. However, technically Li’er wasn’t from their affair. He was an unintended consequence of Feili trying to help BTA out. BTA and Yanyan weren’t even together when it happened.
It’s non of Feili and Yanyan’s fault, the reason for all this chaos is BA😠
Beitang is soft like a wood plank! Just throw everything on his pregnant wife face, except that FeiLi is his mistress! Thanks for the chapter!
I just can pray that LY wont treat Li’er bad in the future.
Aaahhh!! I’m screaming in my heart😢😢😢
Pobre Yan Feili. Enfrentado con la esposa oficial sin poder responder con la verdad. Ojalá Li’er pueda permanecer seguro y con el afecto de su padre-madre. Thanks for this excelent translation!👏👏🥰🥰
Alright, Beitang since you can’t be a good lover or husband or whatever, you better be a good, great father to Li’er. If not, slowly breathes out and narrows eyes we gonna fight😒😑
YF being an ignorrant mistress
I understand Yan yan. If I were her too. I would also be angry if I found out that my husband has a child outside. It’s a natural reaction especially she’s pregnant and is more sensitive. I just hope she won’t vent her anger and hurt the child.
Yan Yan talk to Fei in non agressive manner. Okay? You don’t know this but you two are both a victim.
You too Ao. resolve this mess without hurting both as much as you can!
