  “To be honest, Mr. Hanover, I’ve never seen the movies you acted in. Until today, I’ve actually never heard the name Angus Hanover.” After a pause, Sha Zelong looked directly into Hanover’s hostile eyes and said, “I deliberately flattered you because I care about your daughter more than I care about my dignity.”


  Even if he was a general of a country, he was willing to lower his status and dignity for the sake of Yan Yu to flatter a stranger who was in his country.

  His appearance made Angus feel more comfortable.

  Angus snorted softly. “Glib-tongued and unreliable,” he said.

  Angus was speechless.

  Yan Nuo could not help but feel indignant for Sha Zelong. He said to Angus, “Dad, Major General Sha actually doesn’t say much…”


  “Yes, he’s just too scheming.”


  Yan Nuo simply shut up and gave Sha Zelong a helpless look.

  Sha Zelong decided to treat this brother-in-law better in the future.

  “Where are you from?”


  “China.”


  Angus rolled his eyes and corrected him. “China is so big. Where are you from?”


  “Binjiang City.”


  “The capital.”


  Angus suddenly said again, “You slept with my daughter.”


  Sha Zelong raised his eyebrows but did not argue.

  Even though Yan Yu was the one who took the initiative in the beginning, he was the one who took advantage of her.

  Seeing that Sha Zelong had admitted it, his father-in-law, who knew what was going on, was less angry. “Our daughter is not someone you can sleep with just because you want to.” Angus thought of something and smiled coldly. “The women in this family are all very stubborn and stupid.”


  “Sha Zelong, if you don’t love her, don’t give her hope. If you give her hope but disappoint her, the consequences…” Recalling the years when he was imprisoned, Angus said to Sha Zelong sincerely,” When Yan Yu is impulsive, she won’t care about your status if she wants to do anything to you. ”


  Angus’s words were a warning and a form of protection.

  Sha Zelong listened to his words.

  “I’ll give you a chance. Step out of this house now. From now on, my Yan Yu will have nothing to do with you.” His gaze landed on Sha Zelong’s expressionless face. He said, “If you stay, you can’t let her down for the rest of your life.”


  Sha Zelong sat there quietly.

  Angus waited a long time.

  It was a long time because the coffee turned cold and the butler refilled it. Sha Zelong was still sitting there.

  Angus smiled ambiguously and said, “You chose this yourself.”


  Sha Zelong nodded. “Yes, I won’t leave her.”


  When Yan Yu woke up, she realized that there was someone else in the house.

  She stared at Angus, who was standing in the garden with Sha Zelong, not knowing what he was talking about. She was in a trance.

  How long had it been since she last saw him?

  She could not even remember.

  Yan Nuo walked to her side and said, “He missed you and specially came to help you.”


  She leaned against the door frame and looked at the person’s tall and young back. She suddenly said, “He hasn’t changed at all from what I remember.”


  Yan Nuo remained silent.

  Yan Yu sneered. “No wonder Mother would rather break his dream and take away his freedom to keep him by her side.” Yan Yu thought of her mother and how she could not bear to make things difficult for Angus after her death. She felt mixed emotions.

  She sighed inwardly and said, “He has the capital to make our mother crazy.”


  The sound of the siblings’ conversation alarmed the two people in the garden.

  The two of them turned around at the same time.

  When he saw Yan Yu, Sha Zelong’s eyes were filled with joy, and Angus’s gaze was complicated.

  Yan Yu looked like her mother, but her eyes were similar to Angus’s. Angus looked at Yan Yu as if he saw their mother again.

  Frustration, hatred, longing, and deep love…


  Various emotions swirled in Angus’s eyes. After a moment, the complexity in his eyes was replaced by indifference and amusement. “Long time no see, Xiao Yu.”


  When Mother Yan died, Yan Yu was only eight years old and was already at the age of awareness. She knew more about her mother and Angus than Yan Nuo.

  Angus had killed Mother Yan. It was not wrong but he had caused the siblings to lose their mother.

  Yan Yu sometimes hated him when she thought of Angus, but she missed him more.

  All these years, if Angus hadn’t come to see them on his own accord, Yan Yu wouldn’t have bothered him. He had lived well. He had lived the way he wanted, played the parts he wanted, and lived the life he wanted. He had been unrestrained. He had been alone.

  She walked towards him and the father and daughter hugged each other calmly.

  Yan Yu praised him. “The facial masks and skincare products in your refrigerator seem to be very effective.”


  “Wrong. It’s not just the effects of facial masks and skincare products. In order to maintain a healthy and young body, I exercise more than two and a half hours a day.”


  “Are you happy now?”


  “Do you want to hear the truth?”


  “Yes.”


  Angus thought about it and actually said, “Not happy.”


  Yan Yu laughed.

  She had already expected this.

  “Have you thought about us all these years?”


  “Yes.”


  “Then why didn’t you come back to see us?”


  Angus stopped talking.

  Yan Yu continued, “If I were in Mumbai instead of America, you wouldn’t have come to see us, right?”


  Angus continued to be silent.

  Yan Yu’s mocking laughter kept entering Angus’s ears. She said, “Why don’t you dare go back? Are you afraid?”


  “Yes, I’m afraid,” Angus actually admitted.

  She was stunned.

  She lowered her head and asked Angus, “Are you afraid that you’ll remember those unhappy things when you get back?”


  However, Angus said, “There’s no one there waiting for me to go home.”


  Yan Yu was a little surprised

  “You…” She wanted to ask Angus if he loved her mother, but she remembered how her mother had held the bleeding dagger when he killed her. She asked him if he had ever loved her. He said, “I never loved you. Never.”


  Then, her mother died just like that.

  Angus had been imprisoned by Mother Yan for six years. During those six years, he lived in shackles for the first two years. In the next four years, if he wanted to go out, his mother would accompany him.

  He had never been truly free.

  Their mother had ruined his life.

  How could he fall in love with a woman who had ruined his life!

  Yan Yu did not ask that question.

  Yan Yu did not say much when she met Angus. After all, they had been separated for too many years. There were not many deep feelings between them. He wasn’t really like a father and Yan Yu wasn’t really like his daughter.

  However, no matter what, Angus’s special trip to New York to help put the matter behind them warmed the siblings’ hearts.

  Angus planned to leave tomorrow morning, so he would stay here at night.
