Chapter 44: King of the Wind Wolves (4)
"After being with me for a long time, Feng Yan seems to have learned a lot. He is really the complete opposite of Feng Yao."
Almost at the same time when Yu Fengyan raised his head, Feng Qinghan finally spoke. Feng Yan was startled and quickly said: "Master, you are praising me too much. How can your talent be easily learned by others like you?"
Feng Qinghan laughed again, and then remained silent, just drinking. The more he did so, the more uneasy Feng Yan felt. Although he could more or less see through Feng Qinghan's inner thoughts, that was just Feng Qinghan deliberately letting people notice. If he had intentions, no one could see through his inner thoughts, let alone what he was thinking. In other words, Feng Yan's understanding of him so far was just what he deliberately revealed.
——Afternoon——
Feng Qinghan continued to live a leisurely and dissolute life drinking tea in the garden as usual, and did not care about Feng Yao's affairs, as if nothing had happened.
However, in the inner courtyard of the palace, in the harem [Imperial Garden], Yinyin and Xiuying were taking a leisurely walk. Zhou Cheng was busy with government affairs and did not come to accompany them. However, this was just right for Yinyin. With Zhou Cheng by her side, her heart was always restless. She was leisurely and comfortable with Xiuying, and was quite excited to appreciate the flowers. Just as Yinyin was appreciating the flowers, a eunuch hurried over, followed by Zhang Ren...
"Your Highness—"
"What's up?"
Yinyin was holding the flowers and smelling their fragrance, and she didn't mean to ignore others.
"The Prime Minister requests an audience!"
"Eh? Dad!"
Hearing the eunuch's message, Zhang Ren behind him gradually approached.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you, Yinyin?"
The sound arrives before the person.
"father!"
Yin Yin quickly stepped forward to greet Zhang Ren.
"You're here. Why did you come to see Yinyin just now?"
"hehe--"
Zhang Ren smiled but didn't respond. He walked towards the pavilion with Yin Yin. Although he was smiling, he looked a little worried. The two sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion. Xiuying came forward to serve them. Tea and snacks had already been placed on the stone table...
"How is mother these days?"
"Yeah, very good—"
"Dad? Are you worried?"
Sitting down and facing each other, Yinyin realized that Zhang Ren looked strange, as if he had something to hide. Zhang Ren looked at Yinyin and felt that he had something to hide. He immediately turned his head away and stood up with his back to Yinyin. Seeing this, Yinyin guessed that something must have happened, so she also stood up and came behind Zhang Ren...
"Dad? What happened to you?"
Hearing Yinyin's caring words, Zhang Ren felt guilty and didn't dare to face it...
"father--"
Faced with Zhang Ren's repeated disregard and non-answering, Yin Yin became even more worried.
"Is something wrong? Please tell me quickly——"
Yin Yin's anxious words made Zhang Ren even more afraid to face her.
"Nothing happened, Yinyin, don't worry—"
"Nothing happened?"
Yin Yin is not blind. Zhang Ren’s behavior was so obvious, how could she not see it?
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
After a little thought, Yin Yin came to the conclusion that no matter who the people around her were, they would hide things from her as long as they involved her. Although Yin Yin had lost her memory, she deeply felt Zhang Ren's fatherly love for her. Only when it came to her matters, Zhang Ren, as a father, would not easily blurt out anything, which made Yin Yin have this idea.
It seems like a simple matter, but Zhang Ren doesn't want to embarrass his daughter, so he can only keep silent.
"Is it really related to me again?"
Knowing that Zhang Ren was really worried about her, Yin Yin was immediately heartbroken. She had lost her memory, and she didn't know anything in the first place. People around her kept hiding everything from her. This was not the first time. How could she not feel heartbroken? Living a life that only others told her about, and others only told her the good side. How could she keep smiling and face life without knowing the negative side? Although she was used to it, Yin Yin still found it difficult to suppress her inner emotions when she really faced it, especially when facing the concealment of her father Zhang Ren. She looked dazed and staggered back. If it was Zhou Cheng, maybe he would not be like this...
"Princess——"
Seeing Yinyin swaying, Xiuying rushed forward to support her...
"Yin Yin——"
It was after hearing Xiuying's words that Zhang Ren turned around worriedly. He saw Yinyin crying silently and being helped by Xiuying to sit on a stone bench. She looked so sad that Zhang Ren felt heartbroken...
"Why are you doing this?"
Zhang Ren knew very well why his daughter was crying. She had always been concerned about the memories of the past, but the people around her only told her the good side. To her who had no idea , this was no different from a dream. For Yin Yin, who valued feelings more than anything else, such an illusory life would inevitably make her feel more painful. Even though he knew this, Zhang Ren still could not say anything that would embarrass or hurt her.
Yinyin couldn't stop crying. How could Zhang Ren bear it? Should he say what was hard to say in his heart or not?
"Well, Dad will tell you, so don't cry anymore—"
Zhang Ren was ultimately unable to resist Yin Yin and had to compromise. With Zhang Ren's comfort, Yin Yin slowly wiped away her tears...
It took a long time.
Yinyin's tears stopped, and Zhang Ren was embarrassed to speak again. However, he had already promised Yinyin and had no intention of going back on his word. He just didn't dare to face Yinyin when he said it. After all, saying such words made Zhang Ren feel ashamed...
