His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

"I guess she must have never mentioned anything about how we met?" Lu Yanzhi scoffed mentally. Initially, he had refused to believe it but given the facts before him, there was no way he could do that.

"Indeed, she hasn't." Old Master Su pursed his lips in displeasure.

No matter how he wouldn't believe that his daughter would abandon her own son, the way she behaved did seem as though she herself did not believe that Xiao Bai was her son.

However, he believed that Lu Yanzhi was a man of steel and wasn't someone that would shirk responsibility.

"Begin by answering my foremost question then. When did you guys start? What's with the child? You had better give me an acceptable explanation." Old Master Su's voice was both cold as ice and authoritative.

"Xiao Bai's already five years old. Six years ago, something big happened to Qianxun. Do you remember that?" Lu Yanzhi asked gently.

"Engagement? Holiday?" After pondering for a moment, Old Master Su asked if it was about that.

"That's right, her engagement holiday. An accident happened while she was in Thailand and she was held hostage by a cartel of drug lords."

"What?!" Old Master Su was shocked - he had no idea about this at all. He thought that the reason why her character changed upon returning was due to the despair of the engagement breaking.

"What I'm about to tell you next is classified information for our nation. You must not mention it to anyone, ever." Lu Yanzhi spoke sternly.

Old Master Su nodded his head.

"Back then, I was tasked for a secret AAA mission to seek out these criminals. Their largest client, Mr X, was also an internationally wanted terrorist. I was hidden in their midst as a spy and for the sake of protecting her, I kept her by my side. There were many things that happened in between and it was also not our choice to have Xiao Bai. Back then, she thought that I was also a drug lord and was extremely disdainful of me. I could neither tell her my identity nor neglect her for the sake of protecting her. Back when she first found out that she was pregnant, she was utterly shocked and could not accept the fact at all."

"What happened next?" Old Master Su's eyes were quivering.

To think that his daughter would have actually gone through such torment and yet no one else knew about it? Wait, right! What about Eric? What was he doing as her fiance back then?

"Later on, even though she knew about my true identity, she still had no way of bringing herself to trust me let alone accept me or even want the child. The moment the child was born, she threw him away." Lu Yanzhi's voice was light but his heart was extremely frosty.

Old Master Su was stumped. "Threw?"

"Thrown away the moment he was born. It was Xiao Bai's own fortune for being able to stay alive. I looked for him for two whole days in the forest." He would never forget just how badly he hated her back then. By the time he found Xiao Bai, he was merely hanging on to a thread of life - any later and Xiao Bai would have probably died.

"That child! How could she…" Old Master Su's cheeks were shivering in rage as his eyes shone brightly and sharply. "That's the reason why she thinks that Xiao Bai is not her son?"

"After I found Xiao Bai, I was already determined to never meet her again as I had promised her; to never interfere with one anothers' life ever again. However, every child needs a mother and Xiao Bai wants his as well." Lu Yanzhi did not mention anything about his own feelings. He merely said that Xiao Bai was the one that needed a mother and hence the ruckus at the engagement party.
