Ye Wanwan hastily grasped Liang Wanjun's hand. "Mom, I won't! I was only afraid you couldn't forgive my deceit! If you're willing, I'll be your daughter my whole life!"

"Wanwan…" Tears poured down Liang Wanjun's face like rainfall, and she sobbed as mother and daughter tightly hugged each other.

Ye Mufan gently patted Liang Wanjun's shoulders in comfort. "Later on, during that period in between, we knew the truth, but we feigned ignorance and kept in contact with you like normal. On one hand, we didn't know how to face you, but on the other hand, we were also afraid. We were afraid that you'd leave if we addressed the elephant in the room. And if you left, we wouldn't have any reasons to keep you. After all, you aren't actually related to us…"

Ye Wanwan instantly glared at Ye Mufan. "At least I've been your sister for so long. Am I that ungrateful? I've already planned to hold my wedding in China as Ye Wanwan! Of course, that's if you'll allow it… After all, this ident.i.ty doesn't belong to me…"

Ye Mufan's eyes shot open. "You're getting married? When?"

Ye Wanwan retorted, "Isn't that why I came back to discuss the exact date with Dad and Mom?!"

Liang Wanjun and Ye Shaoting met each other's eyes, seeing each other's euphoria. "You're holding your wedding in China? But for such an important event, you should allow your… your real parents to decide!"

Ye Wanwan quickly responded, "I've discussed it with my parents and Grandpa already! They all agree to me holding it here. At that time, they can come to China, and we can invite our friends over here too!"

Liang Wanjun and Ye Shaoting didn't expect Ye Wanwan would choose to get married with the Ye family. They were touched.

"If you're willing… of course you can!"

They couldn't personally witness their daughter get married anymore, so this would fulfill one of their dreams…

…

That evening:

Ye Wanwan escorted Si Yehan to the front door.

"I'll stay with my dad and mom for now, and I'll go see Grandma tomorrow," Ye Wanwan said.

"Okay."

Ye Wanwan sighed. "In truth, I can handle it myself. I'm not a child; I was a golden manager at least, alright? I'm best at handling all kinds of tricky problems."

Si Yehan was so taciturn and inarticulate. She found it hard to imagine how he explained everything to the Ye family.

The man intently stared at the girl's face with his ocean-like eyes. His large hand patted the top of her head extremely gently and his voice sounded like he was praising a child. "Mm, you're very awesome. I know that."

For some reason, Ye Wanwan's heart started speeding up again merely from his simple praise.

Sunlight scattered across the man's icy eyes, melting them into a warm stream. He softly added, "However, if I allowed you to handle everything yourself, then what would be the point of my existence?"

He clearly did so much, but he never said anything. With one simple word from her and a willful request, he silently kept guard over her and never tried to explain himself even when he was misunderstood.

Ye Wanwan smiled tenderly at this cold man who was also a gentleman. "The best trade in my life was probably exchanging a shaobing for you."
