[Host, you did it on purpose.] Number 001 said firmly.
Gu Weizhou looked innocent.
[You want to see them kill each other as a family.]
[Do I look like such a scheming person?]
[No,] glancing at someone, Number 001 said, [You are inherently that kind of scheming person.]
Whoever treats you badly, even after hundreds of years, you remember it clearly. Once you find the opportunity, you will make the other person pay back a thousand times over.
For example, your so-called parents in this world.
After waiting for a long time at the door without it opening, Xu Lu, who was already getting angry, reached out to bang on the door. However, before her hand could reach the door, she suddenly felt the tightly closed door being pushed open from the inside.
As her weight shifted forward, she almost tripped and fell in a sorry state.
Fortunately, she quickly grabbed onto the door frame beside her, preventing herself from clumsily falling into the room. Even so, Xu Lu’s face was covered in cold sweat from the shock.
It took nearly three seconds for her pounding heart to finally settle down. She had always thought that the other person, who always seemed to oppose her, was her enemy. After coming back to her senses, her completely tensed nerves completely went berserk.
Suddenly looking up, she shouted angrily, “You…!”
However, this stern shout halted abruptly the moment she saw the unfamiliar face in front of her.
This… this… this face… this feeling…
The feeling of blood ties she had when she first saw her baby… when he was born…
Yan Jingze saw the woman’s stern shout suddenly stop, and she stared at him with an incredulous gaze. He playfully arched his lip and smiled innocently, “May I ask…”
Before he could finish speaking, the woman in front of him rushed forward and grabbed his hand.
If it was just a guess before, when Xu Lu touched his hand, the instantaneous surge of intimacy and blood connection from her soul, from her flesh and blood, immediately swept over her entire body.
He was her child, the child she carried for ten months, the child she lost twenty-three years ago.
This thought came from her heart, her brain, and also from a mother’s most sensitive intuition.

“Child, my child, sob…”
Although startled by this sudden statement and momentarily forgetting his actions, Yan Jingze quickly regained his composure. As he pulled his hand back from the woman’s tight grip, he smiled and said, “You’ve got the wrong person. If you’re looking for Senior Wen, you should come another time. He’s not feeling well at the moment…”
“I’m not looking for him, I’m looking for you. Child, I am your mother, I am your mother. He has nothing to do with me, Wen Yichuan is not my son, you are my son!!”
Yan Jingze’s initial attempt to push away was abruptly halted by those words. His eyes filled with shock and astonishment as he looked at the tear-streaked woman in front of him.
“What… did you say…?”
Seeing the person looking at her, Xu Lu burst into tears, covering her mouth in worry, and chokingly said, “He’s not my son. My son was switched at birth and has been missing for twenty-three years. You…”
“Hold on.” Yan Jingze, who was greatly shocked in his mind, raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
With unclear eyes, he looked towards the closed bedroom door.
He gently twisted the bedroom door open and, through the narrow opening, Yan Jingze saw the young man still sleeping peacefully on the bed. His eyes were closed, breathing steady, not at all disturbed by the commotion outside the door.
With uncertain eyes, Yan Jingze’s mind calmed, and the moment he turned around, his eyes turned sincere, “Let’s find a place to talk about this properly.”
“Okay, Mom will listen to you, I’ll listen to you, my son.”
…
Inside a cafe.
“…If it wasn’t for that accidental injury, we wouldn’t have known that he’s not our son. I wouldn’t have known that I lost my child from the moment I walked out of the hospital.”
Seeing the disheveled appearance of the woman opposite him, crying with swollen eyes, Yan Jingze’s face showed compassion, but upon closer observation, one could detect a hidden calmness in his eyes.
“Why do you insist so firmly that I am your son?”
Using a tissue to wipe her tears, Xu Lu said, “Intuition, the closeness, and intuition that come from the bloodline when I saw you.”
“While I also believe in this kind of intuition that comes from the bloodline, I still suggest we undergo a blood test. Until the test results come out, it’s better not to make a fuss about this matter. After all, if it’s a misunderstanding, it would be hurtful to both Senior Wen and your family.”
“Hurtful? Hasn’t he caused me enough pain in these twenty-three years? Don’t worry about him, you come home with me today, okay?”
His hand under the table tightened imperceptibly, and Yan Jingze’s eyes turned colder by a fraction.
Although he had already learned some information about the Wen family from various sources, it wasn’t until he saw the woman in person and heard her speak with a tone that seemed to carry resentment that he truly understood why Wen Yichuan, who appeared so proud and dazzling in front of others, would be so fragile and vulnerable behind the scenes.
Yan Jingze didn’t care at all about the family, nor did he care who his parents were. After all, he was way past the age of needing parents to accompany him; now, he only cared about one person.
He cared about what harm this matter would bring him if that person found out, and how it would make him collapse. As for the woman in front of him who might be his birth mother, she couldn’t compare to that person in his heart, not even by a single strand of hair.
Slowly suppressing the mocking smile on his face, Yan Jingze said, “Please don’t joke.”
The cold tone was like a bucket of cold water waking Xu Lu up from her unstable emotions. She realized her impatience and finally realized that the person in front of her identified himself as Wen Yichuan’s junior.
Knowing that she had been too hasty and irritating, Xu Lu decided not to continue saying those words to Yan Jingze, who seemed so distant from her.
After receiving a strand of hair from him and getting his phone number, Xu Lu left under a gaze of reluctance. She went directly to the testing agency, and Yan Jingze remained in place.
In fact, even without undergoing the test, Yan Jingze could already guess the result. He also felt the same subtle sense of bloodline connection mentioned by the woman just now, but he had never felt it from his late mother or the man.
However, if he really turned out to be a member of the Wen family… then Senior…
Gripping the silver spoon tightly in his hand, Yan Jingze’s eyes were filled with ambiguity.
…
When Gu Weizhou woke up from his dream, the sky outside had already darkened. Looking around at the decorations, Gu Weizhou realized that he had actually slept in the room prepared for Yan Jingze.
He rubbed his slightly heavy head and walked out of the room.
As he walked out, he saw Yan Jingze in the kitchen preparing dinner. Probably hearing the sound of the door opening, Yan Jingze turned his head, his eyes slightly brightened.
“Senior, you’re awake.”
However, upon seeing the young man’s comical appearance not far away, Gu Weizhou, who still felt a bit heavy-headed, couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
He saw Yan Jingze wearing the newly bought apron around his body, which was the right size for Gu Weizhou but looked somewhat deformed when worn by Yan Jingze. As he held a spatula in his right hand while his left hand carried a dish, making him look incredibly funny.
Yan Jingze didn’t say anything, just stood in the kitchen, gazing steadily at the youth in the living room laughing with a fair and sunny face.
As he watched, Yan Jingze suddenly felt a feeling he had never experienced before, full of contentment and happiness.
For the first time, Yan Jingze felt the warmth and coziness of a home that others had mentioned before.
And this feeling was given to him by the person who was smiling not far away. It seemed that as long as he could keep looking at that gentle and excessively happy smile, everything was worth it.
After finishing dinner, the two of them sat together on the sofa, watching TV. Looking at the beautiful side face of the man, Yan Jingze casually said, “Senior’s birthday is coming soon.”
“That’s also your birthday.”
“From childhood to now, I’ve hardly ever celebrated my birthday…”
Gu Weizhou turned his head slightly and looked at the person beside him. He pursed his lips and said, “If you mean the kind of birthday celebration with the whole family, I haven’t experienced that either.” Except for the spam messages offering birthday offers, there were no other celebrations.
Thinking of the birthday scenes from his childhood, Gu Weizhou’s mouth twitched and he said. “I vaguely remember celebrating my last birthday when I was two years old, but later on, I either celebrated by myself or my friends celebrated it for me…”
Hearing this, Yan Jingze couldn’t help but think of the conversation with Mother Wen earlier today and the resentment conveyed in her words. Without much thinking, he could imagine what the birthday scene would be like for Wen Yichuan.
Suppressing the dark thoughts in his heart, he smiled and said, “Senior, can you spend your birthday this year with me?”
“Huh…?” Gu Weizhou was puzzled.
“Because our birthdays are on the same day, I want to spend a different kind of birthday with you. I wonder if you can fulfill this wish for me, Senior?”
After speaking, Yan Jingze fixed his innocent and expectant gaze on Gu Weizhou, his cautious eyes filled with a glimmer of anticipation.
Gu Weizhou: ... You’re looking at me like this, how can I refuse?
With a gentle smile, Gu Weizhou said, “…Of course, I can.”
Seeing the slightly curved and tender gaze of the youth next to him, Yan Jingze’s fingertips moved uncontrollably. He wanted to touch that picturesque face as if it was the only warmth in his cold life and feel the warmth on his fingertips so as not to be as cold as now.
However, seeing Gu Weizhou’s untainted smile, he suppressed the restless impulse in his heart.
Calming his emotions, Yan Jingze thought of Xu Lu and what she said today.
Regardless of his true identity and the attitudes of those two people, he wouldn’t let them hurt Senior even a little bit like before, never again.
Broooo- this woman!
I really really don’t get this obsession with blood-ties. As if it’s really stronger than anything.
Horrible person, blaming the other victim for the crime.
Exactly. Moreover it’s not even a crime just an accident.
Adults like this deserve to have kids?
She did worse than blame the other victim. She emotionally abused him, an innocent child. I can get her frustration of being unknowingly separated from her actual child but to do what they did is unforgivable.
Oh they’ll get payback, me thinks 😉
