“Youlin, what’s wrong?” Duan Yarong asked in a low voice when she and the rest of her group saw Zhao Youlin’s surprised look.

  “No… Nothing… But, Mother’s birthday is in a few days time whereas my older brother has just returned not long ago. Shouldn’t we need some time to prepare first…?” ‘Besides, you guys are only talking among yourselves and expecting the certain individual to have accepted his ancestors and return home. Have you even sought for the certain person’s opinion?’


  At that time, Zhao Youlin had once again confirmed Han Yichen and Duan Yarong were truly blood-related. The family… got unusually worked up over things.

  “What’s wrong with that? Your father, grandfather and I still think that it’s too slow! How I wish I could let the entire world know that Chen is our son right away. If not for your father stopping me right away and asking me to make the announcement at a suitable time, I wouldn’t even want to wait another second. We have three days of preparation time. Your father and I would arrange the rest. Chen and Yue Yue only have to dress up and show their faces to the public.”


  As Duan Yarong was speaking this, she turned her head around and looked at An Yue. “Besides, as we reveal Chen’s identity to the public, we would announce their wedding date as well to save the hassle from being heckled by those admirers out there who don’t know about your relationship status.”


  Duan Yarong’s words had struck the main point. The moment Han Yichen’s identity was revealed as the young master of the Zhao family, many young ladies from the upper-class society would pounce at him and pester him one after another, much less if they learned that he was also the president of the Sheng Huang Group.

  As they made the announcement about his identity to the public, they would also make known to them the matter about his wedding. This was equivalent to serving as a warning to the young ladies so as not to lay their hands on someone who did not belong to them.

  While looking at Duan Yarong’s sparkling eyes, the corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips unwittingly twitched. She turned her head around and looked at Han Yichen. She asked in a low voice. “Yichen, what do you think about this?”


  Han Yichen looked up at Zhao Youlin. Although he did not say anything, he moved his gaze and looked expectantly at Duan Yarong and the rest of her group. He said faintly, “I’ve no qualms with it.”


  Regardless of whether his identity was revealed to the public, all he cared about was the kith and kins who were blood-related to him.

  However, if revealing his identity to the public would make them happy, then it was not a big deal either. As for the troubles that might come after the public announcement…


  A hint of bone-chilling light flashed across Han Yichen’s cold, bright eyes. No matter what happened anytime or anywhere and what people he had to deal with, he was confident that he could ensure his loved one’s safety.

  Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at them before she decided to switch the topic. “Mother, have you thought about changing my older brother’s surname to Zhao or stick to using his existing one after revealing his identity to the public? Also, do you want to change his name or retain the original one?”


  Zhao Youlin’s words had gotten everyone on the spot stunned. This was especially so for the elders. They had been so caught up in their happiness that they had totally forgotten about this.

  After a long moment of silence, the former master faked a cough. He looked at Han Yichen as he asked, “Chen, are you willing to take Zhao as your surname?”


  Han Yichen thought it over for a brief moment before he nodded. After all, the surname Han was casually given by the orphanage director who had no idea about his surname at that time when he had been abandoned at the orphanage. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with changing back to his parent’s surname.

  Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Han Yichen’s cooperation. The former master grinned as he said, “Great. Then, change your surname back to Zhao. As for your name, you’ve been using it for more than two decades. If you change your name, not only you but your friends and staff would not get used to it either. So, it’s best not to change it.”


  The former master settled the matter with a single blow. The rest thought about it and did not say anything.

  The matter was settled. Zhao Youlin did not have anything else to bring up. This was especially after the former master cast a questioning glance at her, only then did she realize that revealing Han Yichen’s identity during Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet might not be as simple as it appeared to be.

  Regarding the incident of Han Yichen being swapped discreetly, ever since the first time Zhao Youlin mentioned this to the former master, he had been investigating this matter. He wanted to find out the main culprit who had separated Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong from their son. However, he had not found any clues even today.

  The incident had happened more than twenty years ago. Most of the people who were related to this incident had passed away. Those who were still alive had basically forgotten what had happened back then. In other words, even if they had been involved in that incident, it was only seen on the surface.

  The people who had been involved had died and the truth had gone to the grave with them. Moreover, this incident had been left untouched for so many years. No matter how resourceful the former master was, he could not find out the truth at the moment.

  However, since that person had dared to commit such things toward the Zhao family, and after doing it, they had even killed the people involved and wiped away the evidence without leaving the slightest bit of trace, there must have been a certain hidden agenda.

  There was a ninety percent probability that the person… was from upper-class society.

  As such, it was understandable that the former master wanted to go through all the trouble in order to reveal Han Yichen’s identity in the presence of Shalnork’s businessmen and prominent families during Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet.

  Someone who should have been murdered more than two decades ago and ceased to exist had appeared all of a sudden after twenty years. More so, this person had also been taken back in by the Zhao family.

  Most people would have been caught by surprise upon hearing this. Meanwhile, the main culprit would not only be shocked but his conscience would also be filled with guilt and trepidation, as well as fearing that his deed would be exposed.

  The former master’s actions were to test the person who had been hiding in the dark so that he would panic.

  As Zhao Youlin realized this, she no longer dwelled on this issue. She discussed the birthday banquet arrangement with Duan Yarong and the rest of her group.

  The time of peace and complacency passed very fast. Han Yichen and An Yue had spent the whole day in the Zhao family. After they had been insisted by Duan Yarong to stay on for dinner, only then did Duan Yarong let go of them reluctantly.

  Before they departed, Duan Yarong kept reminding them to visit them as frequently as possible. Zhao Shunrong was helpless as he saw that she looked like their departure would last for all eternity.

  On the other hand, Zhao Youlin sent Mu Tingfeng off by herself. Mu TIngfeng cast a glance at Han Yichen and An Yue discreetly. His eyes unwittingly showed his heart’s desire. For a moment, Zhao Youlin got worked up.

  After some time, Zhao Youlin looked like she had made up her mind. When Mu Tingfeng got inside his car, she whispered to him, “I’ll come to look for you at your house… the day after tomorrow. I have something I want to say to you.”


  Mu Tingfeng was stunned. The next moment, he seemed to have realized something, and he stared straight at Zhao Youlin.

  Zhao Youlin panicked under his gaze. She did not say anything. She turned around and left.

  Mu Tingfeng was left sitting inside the car. He subconsciously clenched his hand as he was holding the steering wheel. A smile unwittingly arched across his lips.
