After Wen Yin gradually calmed down, she leaned against his chest.
Looking at the part of Shao Yinan's shirt that had been streaked with her tears, she felt a bit embarrassed and picked up a tissue, intending to wipe it for him.
However, to her surprise, Shao Yinan took the tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This series of actions left her standing there stunned. She called out to him with a sob in her voice.
"Shao Yinan."
Hearing the obvious sob in her tone, Shao Yinan was even more flustered.
"What's wrong, A Yin?"
Seeing the tears welling up again in Wen Yin's eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe away the newly oozed teardrop at the corner of her eye.
"Are you very angry?"
"If so, I'll make them get the punishment they deserve, okay?"
Shao Yinan's voice was very low, like the whisper of a demon.
He subconsciously thought that Wen Yin's emotions were still immersed in what had just happened, so he held Wen Yin's face and gently wiped away her tears.
Although his tone was gentle, there was a hint of barely perceptible harshness.
Wen Yin naturally knew what Shao Yinan meant.
She also knew the consequences of his anger, and none of them could withstand it.
"No need."
The corners of Wen Yin's delicate little face were still tinged with a wet redness from crying.
"They've already received the punishment they deserve."
Wen Zhi had been in prison for so long and had suffered a lot.
Moreover, her status in the Wen family was not as good as before.
This was undoubtedly a great physical and mental torture for Wen Zhi.
As for Father Wen, ever since she first discovered that he couldn't treat her and Wen Zhi equally, Wen Yin had never regarded him as her real father.
"I cried just because I thought you were so good."
She had clearly picked up the tissue to wipe his shirt, but Shao Yinan had subconsciously wiped her tears first.
The coldness and grievances of the past twenty years were all satisfied in this instant.
Wen Yin couldn't help but lie in Shao Yinan's arms again. Her voice was muffled, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
"Shao Yinan, why are you so good?"
But in a corner where Wen Yin couldn't see, a flash of coldness passed across Shao Yinan's eyes.
Maybe the best option was to make sure those people never appeared in front of A Yin again.
A Yin only needed him to support her from behind.
She didn't need to waste too much energy on other irrelevant people.
"Shao Yinan."
After crying enough, Wen Yin lay lazily in his arms and spoke up.
"Have you found out something that you can't tell me?"
It had to be said that Wen Yin's insight was still on point.
Shao Yinan had deliberately concealed a part of the truth from her.
And the previous revelation that Wen Yin wasn't Father Wen's biological daughter was just a warm - up.
He hadn't figured out how to tell her the rest of the story when Wen Yin had already noticed in advance.
Seeing Wen Yin's serious face, Shao Yinan couldn't help but smile and scrape the tip of her nose.
"So when did the little crybaby notice?"
Hearing this term, Wen Yin couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Her clear deer - like eyes were tinged with redness, looking inexplicably alluring as they were now wide open.
Wen Yin had only seen this term on the Internet, but she never expected Shao Yinan to use it on her.
Thinking of the scene where she had been crying with snot and tears just now, Wen Yin shifted her gaze guiltily.
"Who... who are you calling a little crybaby?"
Shao Yinan took in her subtle and cute little expression. While smiling, he pinched Wen Yin's cheek.
Due to crying just now, Wen Yin's face had become flushed. At this moment, the warm touch was constantly burning Shao Yinan's fingertips as he pinched it.
It was also burning his heart bit by bit.
Shao Yinan placed a kiss on her face.
The action was pious and serious, as if he was kissing a priceless treasure.
When the light kiss landed on her cheek, Wen Yin hadn't recovered yet.
"A Yin, have you made up your mind? Even if the truth is a bit hard for you to accept, are you still ready?"
Shao Yinan's dark and deep eyes gradually turned cold, but he still took Wen Yin's emotions into consideration and gave her a heads - up first.
Wen Yin nodded. She had mentally prepared herself.
In her heart, it didn't matter what kind of family background her biological parents had.
Wen Yin just wanted to know who they were and why they had abandoned her in the orphanage after giving birth to her.
"Do you still remember Mrs. Qi?"
Shao Yinan's voice was very soft, but the three words "Mrs. Qi" hit her heart hard.
The originally calm lake was like a big stone had been thrown into it, stirring up thousands of waves.
Wen Yin's lips moved for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
Actually, she didn't know what to say.
After a few seconds, Wen Yin seemed to finally find her voice.
So she spoke slowly and clumsily, looking at Shao Yinan hesitantly.
"Do you mean Mrs. Qi, Qi Siran's mother?"
There was a strong sense of uncertainty in Wen Yin's words because she never thought it would be so clichéd.
Thinking that Qi Siran, who had always regarded her as a rival in love, was now playing the role of the fake daughter in the Qi family, Wen Yin was a bit shocked.
"So is the 'Qi' you mentioned the same as the one I'm thinking of?"
Seeing Wen Yin's incredulous look, Shao Yinan couldn't help but smile and ruffle her hair.
Although he had also been incredulous when he first learned about this, he didn't expect Wen Yin to ask such a cute question.
Wen Yin had once fantasized about what her biological parents looked like, and she had also seen how attentively Father Qi had cared for and doted on Mrs. Qi at their family banquet.
But she never thought that the drama of the real and fake daughters would happen twice in the same wealthy family.
Qi Siran had sat in that position for more than twenty years without a care in the world, stealing all her love.
She thought that the idiom "the turtledove occupying the magpie's nest" was an apt description of Qi Siran.
"Do the Qi family know about this?"
Wen Yin nestled in Shao Yinan's arms and slowly spoke up after a long silence.
Shao Yinan shook his head.
"All I know is that there was another group of people investigating at the same time as me when I was doing my investigation, but I couldn't find out their identities. I guess they should be from the Qi family."
"Now that we already know the truth, they probably won't be far behind."
Shao Yinan's expression was a bit solemn because this was related to Wen Yin's ultimate background.
And he still hadn't figured out the Qi family's final attitude.
"There's also a possibility that the Qi family knew about it earlier than we did."
After saying this, the big hands around Wen Yin's waist tightened involuntarily.
"This damned mix - up made me meet you so late."
Shao Yinan rested his head on Wen Yin's neck and then slowly let out a sigh.
"If you hadn't gone missing, maybe we would have been the rightful childhood sweethearts growing up together."
