"I am so glad you agreed to meet me Ziyi," Wenna smiled. ​​

"How could I turn down such a lovely invitation Wenna, we are childhood friends and we should catch up often."

Wenna smiled and nodded her head. "Yes we should but today I called you to clarify something."

"Clarify? Is there something wrong?" Ziyi asked anxiously.

Contemplating for a while, Wenna inquired, "Remember how you told me that your daughter was still born and only your son survived during your delivery?"

With her heart racing in anticipation, Ziyi composed herself and managed to nod her head.

Taking a deep breath, Wenna added, "Maybe you'll think that I am crazy but it's just a constant feeling that I keep getting and—"

Placing her hand on hers, Ziyi said, "You don't have to hesitate so much while talking to me Wenna. We have been friends since high school and we are also like sisters remember?"

Wenna smiled and nodded her head. "Hmm, do you know Yang Ning?"

Ziyi's heart skipped several beats when she heard her daughter's name. How could she not know who she was? She had nourished and loved her ever since Ning was in her womb.

"She is a very famous and successful business woman so I guess you have heard of her." Without waiting for her reply, Wenna added, "She married my nephew and is a part of our family now."

"Yeah I heard about Yichan's marriage, please congratulate both of them from my side."

Wenna smiled and nodded her head, "Sure but that is not exactly what I wanted to tell you." Pausing for a while, he continued, "I may sound weird but Ning resembles you a lot and it's not just me, even Dao feels the same."

Clenching her hand into a fist, Ziyi pursed her lips trying very hard not to cry. She always knew that Ning looked like her but hearing it from someone else made her feel very emotional and sad.

"I–"

Cutting her off, Wenna added, "Look I know you might be thinking that I am crazy but for some odd reason, Ning reminded me of you when I first saw her. She is your carbon copy, except for her eyes she—"

"She has Weilong's eyes," Ziyi muttered.

"I was about to say that but how did you know?" Wenna inquired suspiciously.

Hesitating for a while, Ziyi answered, "I–I kinda figured it out when you said that she looks like me so—"

"Well you are right, her eyes are exactly like Weilong's which made me wonder if Ning is your daughter." When Ziyi did not say anything, Wenna sighed, "You know what, just forget what I said okay? I ate too many cheeslings today and my brain isn't functioning properly or may be I just feel extremely bad for Ning so I am trying to establish a connection between you both."

"What do you mean? Why do you feel bad for her?" Ziyi frowned, she was having a feeling that something was wrong.

"It's about Ning's parents, they are evil and so mean to her. Oh my God Ziyi you won't believe me how mean they are. They tortured her when she was a little until her grandpa took her away with him but that doesn't end there. They also tried to separate Ning and Yichan so many years ago but the good thing is, they got married anyway. But the separation was horrible, the two kids suffered a lot."

"I-I don't really understand, what mean things?" Ziyi curiously asked. She was not only curious but all nervous because as long as she knew, Ning was supposed to feel at home with Weilong's younger brother and his wife.

After Wenna told her everything that she had heard about Ning's supposed parents, Ziyi couldn't stop her tears and she broke down. She knew she shouldn't have and wasn't supposed to but she did. All the pain and suffering that she had been through double up after she heard about Ning's horrible childhood experience.

"Hey, what happened? Why are you crying?" Wenna panicked.

Grabbing her hand, Ziyi sobbed harder, "I am a horrible perosm Wenna."

Placing her hand on hers, Wenna tried to calm her down, "Stop panicking first and tell me what happened? What are you talking about?" When Ziyi did not say anything, she added, "Ziyi, you know you can trust me right?"

Wiping her tears with the back of her hands, Ziyi said, "Twenty-seven years ago, my daughter wasn't still born. In fact, she was the most beautiful baby in the whole hospital but I could only hold her for a few minutes. I had to let her go because that was the only option we had and also the right thing to do to keep her safe."

Tightening her grip around her hand, Wenna asked, "So Ning—"

Cutting her off, Ziyi nodded her head. "Ning is my daughter."

Bojing and Suyan's place.

"Alright, only one more."

"This is your tenth one more," Suyan chuckled.

Pulling her closer, he kissed her nape and sighed, "Your kisses are addicting so it's not really my fault."

Wrapping her arms around his waist she said, "Let's go visit mom and dad, I wanna go out today."

"Mom and dad are going to some party today and grandpa has a karaoke night with his friends but we can go and visit Ning and Yichan if you want too."

Snuggling closer, she nodded her head. "Yeah okay, I haven't met them for so many days."

Caressing her back, he asked, "The guards and chauffeur were telling me that you haven't stepped out of the house recently, what happened? Are you not well?"

Pulling away, she hesitated for a while and answered, "I wanted to talk to about this as well." Pausing for a while, she continued, "I constantly feel like someone is following me everywhere you know, like someone is keeping an eye on me. I know I have the guards with me and nothing wrong can happen but I still feel very uncomfortable and weird."

Kissing her forehead, he smiled, "Don't worry about it, I'll look over it. Now why don't we shower together and get dressed."
