Chapter 1: Encounter at the Bar

  A low voice with the vicissitudes of time, kind like an almighty creator, selflessly shining everything with its own light.

  However, such a voice made Ye Xuan's body suddenly stiffen. If possible, Ye Xuan never wanted to hear this voice again or see this person.

  In those six years in France, whenever she thought of that person, the first thing that came to mind was not his usual kind face or gentle words, but his blood-stained hands!

  Once, Ye Xuanmu had watched with her own eyes as he tortured a living person to the brink of death. At that time, she was just being playful and had run into the forbidden area of the Situ family, seeing things she shouldn't have seen.

  When Situ Ying was torturing his opponent, Ye Xiangyu was watching from behind a stone slab, her huge fear made her bite her hand tightly, not daring to make any sound...

  "Momo?" And now, such a voice was right behind her, stubbornly calling out her name.

  Ye Xuan's hand was tightly grasped by Ou Mu-xuan, trying to keep herself calm, then turned around with a radiant smile on her face, "Dad."

  Suddenly, Ou Mu Xuan's body stiffened abruptly.

  Dad? How could Situ Ying of the Situ family be... how could he be Ye Xuan's father?! Then she and Situ Luotian are...

  "Ah, it's really you, what a coincidence." Situ Ying walked over, with a loving smile on his face and a pretended scolding tone, "You've already returned from France, why didn't you come home?"

  "......I......" Ye Xuanmo didn't know how to respond.

  "Mr. Sito," Oumu Xuan replied coldly on behalf of Ye Xuanmo, "on the day when Xuan returned to the country, the whole city of A was in an uproar, don't you ever read newspapers or watch news?"

  ...One sentence, suddenly made Situ Ying not know how to end the scene.

  "Even if you've never paid attention to these things, wouldn't you want to know the reason why your precious son suddenly got divorced? Wouldn't you send someone to investigate clearly and thoroughly before letting it go?" Oumu Xuan's voice was icy cold, her tone disdainful.

  "You..."

  "Qian Qian is right in A City, not hiding or concealing herself. The Situ family's power hasn't declined to the point where they can't even find someone as eye-catching as her, has it?" A faintly contemptuous smile rose at the corner of his lips.

  "Enough?" Ye Xuan pulled on La La's hand, signaling him to stop talking.

  Ou Mu Xuan grasped Ye Xuan Mo's hand, coldly gazing at Si Tu Ying, "If you really care about Xuan Mo, even if she didn't go look for you, wouldn't you have gone to find her? Since you chose indifference from the start, why are you now pretending to be a good person?"

  "Stop!" Ye Xuan saw that Situ Ying's face was getting increasingly ugly, so she hugged his arm, telling him not to continue, giving Situ Ying some face.

  Seeing Si Tu Ying again, Ye Xiangyu was only slightly frightened. Being questioned by him, she also felt guilty. Originally, it was her own fault for being unfilial. But being treated like this by Ou Mu Xuan, Ye Xiangyu suddenly felt wronged, even...even wronged to the point of wanting to cry.

  She wasn't a sentimental person, nor was she someone who would easily shed tears. When bullied, she would either choose to bully back or silently endure it. But now, with him by her side, she suddenly felt as if she had suffered the greatest injustice, her nose stinging, and all she wanted to do was throw herself into his arms and let him comfort her.

  "Mr. Sito, I still need to take Yeh Yuen-mu to greet other friends, excuse me!" After that, she left with Ye Yuen-mu in her arms.

  But behind him, Situ Ying's originally awkward face slowly recovered its usual kindness, however those eyes became increasingly sharp, the corner of his mouth had a flash of sinister smile that vanished instantly, then he turned and walked into the crowd as if nothing had happened.

  Knowing that Si Tu Ying existed, Ye Xuan Mo always felt that no matter what she did, there was a pair of sharp eyes watching her from behind. So throughout the journey, she tightly held onto Ou Mu Xuan's hand, which was her only reliance. As long as he was by her side, she would be safe.

  "Xuǎn, can we leave now?" Ye Xuanmo raised her head, using a tone that the people around could hear, with a hint of coquetry, "I've had too much wine today."

  "Good." Ou Mu Xuan bid farewell to everyone else and left the scene with Ye Xuan Mo.

  He had many questions for her. Since she was surnamed "Ye", why did she call Situ Ying "Dad"? Why was she so afraid when she saw Situ Ying?

  The Situ family is so powerful and influential, why did Ye Xuanfei go to France alone and suffer so much, being bullied by so many people?

  When he heard Ye Xiangmo call Si Tu Ying "Dad", he was shocked. However, no matter how unexpected it was, and despite the many questions in his mind, seeing Ye Xiangmo's anxious face, he instinctively chose to protect her first.

  No matter whose daughter she is, no matter what kind of past she has, she is his dead wife.

  The bar was quiet, with no loud chatter, only a singer hugging his guitar, singing the most sentimental songs in a low and soothing tone.

  Strong whiskey, Ye Xuanmo has already had two cups.

  "Enough, you little fool!" Oumu Xuan stopped her third cup. Such strong liquor, and she was drinking it so aggressively, clearly self-torturing.

  Ye Xuan didn't grab the wine cup, but with a slight drunkenness, she got up and sat down beside Ou Mu Xuan, her body however, as if without any supporting strength, fell into his embrace.

  "Drunk?" Ou Mu Xuan hugged her body and asked jokingly.

  "Ou Mu Xuan, would you despise me?" Ye Xiang Yu buried her face in his chest, breathing in his scent. "If I came from the underworld, would you think I'm dirty?"

  "What nonsense are you talking about!" Ou Mu Xuan frowned, "Where you were born has nothing to do with you."

  "It's great to have you," Ye Xuanmo nuzzled into his chest, "Only you would protect me without distinguishing between right and wrong, only you would consider my feelings first."

  "Since I'm so good, why don't you just marry me?" The words were laced with obvious jest.

  "He's my foster father," Ye Xuan didn't respond to his words, quietly lying in his arms, saying softly, "I don't remember things from when I was little, all I know is that I escaped a big fire and then had nowhere to go, and while wandering the streets, was brought home by Si Tu Ying."

  Ou Mu Xuan nodded, she wasn't Situ Ying's daughter, his first reaction was not to let out a sigh of relief, but to feel heartache for the hardships she had suffered as a child, wandering the streets, it was easy to say, how could such a frail little girl survive?

  "Then I got to know Si Tu Luo Tian," Ye Xuan said foolishly, looking up at him with her head raised. "I'm telling you, I really liked Si Tu Luo Tian back then, and I felt like I wouldn't be able to live without him. So when he was going to get married, I used all sorts of methods and tactics, but none of them could move him."

  Ou Mu Xuan felt a surge of bitterness and anger in her heart!
