There was a palpable silence on Wen Zac's end. Lu Lian's unexpected question caught him off guard. He shifted his gaze towards his wife, who returned his look with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity, as if she was waiting to hear his response. It made him ponder whether she harbored doubts about his past, whether there had been someone else before her, despite the fact that she was his first and only love.
"We're awaiting your answer," An Tian interjected, breaking the tense silence.
Wen Zac took a deep breath before replying, "My wife, Lanlan."
The words hung in the air, causing a visible shock to register on Lu Lian's face, while Ming Lan felt a wave of disbelief wash over her.
Glancing at Ming Rusheng, Lu Lian sought clarification, and he leaned in to whisper, "Lanlan is the one he confessed to but never received an answer from."
"W--Ummm--?"
