The next day , Yang Xinran steps down to go to the dining room and watch her father waiting for her to breakfast together . Watching Yang Xiuming with a big smile , she feels shy remembering last night event .
After their heartwarming confession and hug , Yang Xinran quickly fled to her room because she cannot believe that she , Song Weiying just feel touched because Yang Xiuming said all kind of things ..
The real Yang Xinran must be happy having a dad like this ... Unfortunately , her own family doesn't even know she's already gone .
She sits down at the table and they started to eat breakfast together . Yang Xiuming pour the milk to her glass and pick up bread and scramble egg for her .
" RanRan , are you okay with that cast ? Doesn't it hurt and make you feel uncomfortable ? "
He gently asked his daughter after finding out that she need to wear the cast for such a long time before she heals completely .
She bite her bread before answering him ..
" Well , there is a lot of things I can't do with my hands like this but it's fine for now , since I only coop up at home . "
She doesn't like to speak in a lengthy words but after last night she has decided to talk kindly to her father and her grandpa since they treat her so nicely .
" Tell dad then if there is anything you want .. "
" Sure ... "
As she stared at her father , she suddenly curious about Yang Xinran's mother . If her father is here with her well and alive does it mean that the mom is gone .. ? She feel a bit sad if that's the case since Song Weiying also lost her mother at the young age .
" What's wrong , RanRan .. ? Is there anything you want to ask me .. ? "
" ..... Umm , this might be a little rude but since you are alone here with me , does it mean that your wi— I mean mom is dead ? "
With that , several gasps can be heard behind them . A few of servants obviously feel shocked with the question . It is said that Old Master and Master truly had the same gene . When their beloved woman died , they refused to find another person to fill their heart . Every year , their grief can affect the whole mansion and they especially dislike people mention their late wife .
A clatter from the silverware can be heard from Yang Xiuming . The butler hurriedly told other servants to leave leaving Yang Xiuming and Yang Xinran alone .
She gulped looking at the somber Yang Xiuming . It seems she asked the wrong question . Afterall , she doesn't know anything about Yang Xinran so she can only ask in a straightforward manner .
Yang Xiuming wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at his daughter who kept watching him with a guilty face . It's not like he can't talk about his late wife but sometimes it left a bitter taste in his mouth .
" .... Ranran ... you really don't remember about your mother .. ? "
" H-huh , No , I'm sorry .. Maybe I shouldn't ask you that question .."
" It's fine .. your mother .. she had a weak and frail body since birth . So , it was expected that she can't give birth and that means I won't have any heir . When we got married , actually there's so many people against our marriage but since we loved each other so much , we go ahead with the marriage without our family .. "
Yang Xinran just listen to the story but she also quite confused why he talked about this when all she asked is whether his wife is dead or not .
" Your grandfather was so mad that he doesn't regard me as his son anymore whereas your late grandmother had a kind heart so she doesn't care about his disapproval and gave her blessings to us . Your mother's side of family doesn't has any choice but to accept me since your mother already chose me . "
Well , that explain why Yang Xiwei doesn't really care about Yang Xiuming in their conversation yesterday .
" But .. because our marriage seems wrong , your mother feel burden and sorry towards me . Since she can't give birth , she feels like she doesn't deserve any kindness towards her from my side of family . So , she forced herself to go through medical treatment in hospital when she clearly knew her body can't handle that . "
" And ..... you got me so she died ? " She asked reluctantly . Anyway that always happen to some people for some reason .
Yang Xiuming smiled and hold her hand .
" No ... luckily , we got a good news that she's pregnant . She held on throughout the pregnancy and give birth to our first son , your older brother . "
She widen her eyes . Brother .. ? No one told her Yang Xinran had a brother . What now .. ?
First , she had a man told her that he's her father and now she had a brother who she doesn't know ..
" ... I had a brother .. ? "
" Yes ... your brother is not here for some important thing that he needs to handle . If not , he will definitely be here . He's always quite protective of you anyway . If he knows that you are awake , he would has make a big fuss . "
This is quite complicated . If that brother is close with this Yang Xinran , couldn't he realize that his sister is gone ..
" Anyway , I thought that it's enough for her to bore one child , I already had a heir afterall and it's a boy ... But RanRan .. that doesn't mean we don't want you .. It's just ... complicated at the time .. "
She just nodded her head hearing that . Afterall she's not the real Yang Xinran . It doesn't matter if they want her or not .
" Since she had a great health after having our son , we thought that her health had improved . Because of your brother , your grandfather finally gave his blessings and treat your mother nicely . But ... "
His face seems gloomy at the moment that she started to understand that this might be when his wife died ..
" When your brother was 5 , your mother's health started to deteriorate , she only can rest on her bed all day and I ... can't do anything about it . "
He suddenly looks up to her and caressed his daughter's head .
" .... That was also the year that we find out she's pregnant with you .. "
She flinched hearing that . Then does that mean Yang Xinran was the cause of it ?
" Your maternal grandparents forbid her from going through with it but knowing that a life was formed in her body ... She can't do it , no .. rather , she will never did such a thing . "
She felt a pang in her heart and her eyes feel teary again . This ... is Yang Xinran's feelings right .. ?
