"What the f.u.c.k? She did what?" He Lianchen was shocked that Song Fengyan was only telling them this huge news now. He hadn't expected that Song Fengyan had suffered this much from his break up with Lan Xiyan years ago. By the looks of it, it seemed like even Feng Tianyi wasn't even aware of what happened between them.

  Song Fengyan covered half of his face as he remembered those old times. Thinking about it, he realized that not all wounds could be healed with time, because until this day, he still felt like he was being stabbed right on his c.h.e.s.t whenever he thought about how Lan Xiyan chose to abort their baby without telling him about it.

  It didn't matter if the child was planned or not, Song Fengyan would surely take his responsibility seriously and would never abandon Lan Xiyan and their child. However, Lan Xiyan didn't believe that he wanted her in his life.

  "She aborted your child without telling you. How did you find out?" Feng Tianyi was glad that he had finished making their lunch before Song Fengyan dropped the bomb on him and He Lianchen.

  He washed his hands at the sink and dried it before joining the two in the living room, sitting across He Lianchen.

  "She didn't want me to know, but I saw one of the receipts of the clinic in her purse." Song Fengyan's tone was flat and lifeless, too far from his usual jolly personality.

  "I confronted her about it but she said she had enough of the farce between us and wanted to free herself from me. Lan Xiyan said we belong to two different worlds and it was pointless for us to force something that could never be."

  What Song Fengyan couldn't understand was why Lan Xiyan had chosen to abort their child. Even if they couldn't be together, their child shouldn't have ended up dead. Did Lan Xiyan hate him that much to forsake the child they made together?

  It was such a horrible thing for her to do, yet Song Fengyan could only mourn for the child he could never have. Feng Tianyi was in a bad condition back then and Song Fengyan desperately wanted his cousin, the brother he never had, to recover. Feeling alone and betrayed by the woman he loved, Song Fengyan had hit the rock bottom and was feeling helpless at the same time.

  "Why didn't you tell us all of this before?" Feng Tianyi's eyes narrowed on his cousin. Song Fengyan should have known that he and He Lianchen would never judge him nor forsake him if ever he needed help.

  Song Fengyan continued his channel surfing on the television, but it was obvious that his attention wasn't on it.

  "Because you were in a dire situation, Tianyi. Have you forgotten how many times the doctors forced you into a medically induced coma? Lianchen was also facing pressure from his own family. I didn't want to be presumptuous and trouble the two of you." He shrugged.

  "Fengyan, have I told you? You are an idiot!" He Lianchen was itching to smack Song Fengyan's head to shake some sense into his brain, but knew it was too late. Whatever happened had already happened and there was no turning back for Song Fengyan and Lan Xiyan anymore.

  "You should have told us. Even if we couldn't do anything to help you, you should have told us what was happening." Feng Tianyi agreed with He Lianchen. Thinking about it, he was briefly reminded of how Song Fengyan was when he parted ways with Lan Xiyan.

  Song Fengyan only hummed but didn't say anything in return. What was he supposed to do? He was feeling at a loss when Lan Xiyan left him. Then Feng Tianyi had been in and out of a coma that he barely had time to see or talk to him. As for He Lianchen, the man already had enough baggage that he needed to deal with.

  "That's all in the past and I promised her I will never show myself to her again." He said before pulling himself back to his feet, changing their topic. "Hey, are you done cooking? I'm starving." He told Feng Tianyi who was looking at him with interest.

  Seeing that he didn't want to talk about Lan Xiyan anymore, Feng Tianyi heaved a sigh and shook his head.

  "Yeah, let me prepare the table. You can call Beixuan down to join us." He replied to his cousin.

  "What a good brother-in-law you are, Tianyi. That is, if Tang Moyu doesn't kick your a.s.s to the curb." Song Fengyan laughed as he took the stairs to find the empress's brother.

  He Lianchen yawned and checked the time on his phone to see if his wife had left him a message, but there was none. Since they got married, He Lianchen had already gotten used to having her around.

  Sighing to himself, He Lianchen berated himself. He wanted to go with the women and the twins today, but he had been left behind with Feng Tianyi and Song Fengyan.

  "I shouldn't have stayed up too late last night." He grumbled to himself as he joined the other three men at the dining table for lunch. The food looked delicious, but Tang Beixuan didn't have an appetite to eat anything. However, it would be rude of him if he declined their invitation.

  Anyway, something was bugging him since morning. He'd noticed that his sister and Qin Jiran hadn't really talked to each other.

  "Did you have a fight with Moyu Jie?" He asked Feng Tianyi.

  Song Fengyan and He Lianchen gave the devil a knowing glance. It was only then they remembered that Tang Beixuan still didn't know about his real identity.
