章 1014: Disappointment

"I didn't mean it like that." Lian Mengzhu shook her head, quickly adding, "I just thought of this question suddenly, so I asked."

She locked eyes with Ye Wanwan and pressed on, "Wanwan, you still haven't answered my question. Have you ever thought about meeting your biological parents?"

Ye Wanwan felt uneasy when Lian Mengzhu asked. With so much going on, why now? She sensed her mother had a reason but couldn't understand it.

She fell into silence, lost in thought.

Lian Mengzhu didn't rush her, patiently waiting for her response.

After what felt like an eternity, Ye Wanwan finally spoke. She shook her head, meeting Lian Mengzhu's gaze, and said, "Mother, I don't want to see them."

Then, she sought refuge in Lian Mengzhu's embrace, whispering, "Mother, you and Father are my real parents. You've been the ones caring for me, nurturing me, all these years. They're just strangers to me. So, I don't want to see them."
