Looking at Wang Zilin’s pleading expression, Ye Xunhuan was completely at a loss for what to do.

Should he just tell Wang Zilin that her father might be a king, a towering figure at the top of the power pyramid, and moreover, his enemy, who wants to kill him!

For a moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with struggle, conflict, and complexity.

Just then, the door suddenly and unexpectedly was pushed open from outside.

The abrupt sound of the door opening made both Ye Xunhuan and Wang Zilin freeze, instinctively turning their heads towards the door.

In the next instant, Wang Ma’s figure appeared in the eyes of both Wang Zilin and Ye Xunhuan.

Wang Ma’s sudden appearance left Ye Xunhuan and Wang Zilin completely stunned.

"Mom..."

"Wang Ma..."

Wang Ma glanced at Wang Zilin, then smiled and shifted her gaze to Ye Xunhuan: "Son-in-law, I heard some of what you and Zilin talked about."

"Wang Ma, actually I..."

"Son-in-law, I don’t mean to blame you." Wang Ma interrupted Ye Xunhuan with a shake of her head: "Actually, you can ask me."

For a moment, Ye Xunhuan was completely unsure of what to say.

After all, he hadn’t expected Wang Ma to appear here at this moment.

"Son-in-law, you can ask me, Zilin doesn’t know." Wang Ma said blandly.

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Wang Ma, you used to be called Wang Lan, right?"

"It’s been a long time since anyone called me by that name." Wang Ma said softly, and a look of nostalgia slowly appeared on her face.

As soon as Wang Ma said these words, everything known earlier in Dongnan City was almost entirely confirmed.

"Wang Ma, you... you really used to be called Wang Lan?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Wang Ma in surprise and said.

"Yes!" Wang Ma nodded: "But son-in-law, how did you know?"

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, then slowly began to speak: "Do you remember Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong?"

"Son-in-law, have you... have you met them?" Wang Ma’s face immediately showed an expression of excitement.

Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Yes."

"How are they, are they doing well..."

"They are doing well." Ye Xunhuan said softly: "They are also very curious about why you left without a word back then!"

The expression of excitement on Wang Ma’s face slowly faded, followed by a long sigh, and then she slowly began to speak: "They were very kind to me, treated me as family, but I couldn’t just keep following them and living off them for free. I have hands and feet, I can fully support myself!"

Actually, when Wang Ma left then, it wasn’t for any other reason, it was purely because of self-respect. Because with Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong, she didn’t have to do anything, everything was provided for.

Although Huangfu Yueli’s family was exceedingly kind to Wang Ma, over time, one would start to feel guilty, so Wang Ma chose to leave.

Of course, there were also some other reasons, but Wang Ma didn’t reveal them.

"Wang Ma, surely that wasn’t all, I gathered from their remarks that there might be other reasons!"

"Son-in-law, you..."

"Wang Ma, you don’t have to tell me, after all, it’s your private matter!"

Wang Ma sighed softly, then slowly began to speak: "Son-in-law, since you already know, it doesn’t matter if I tell you."

"Back then, my departure was indeed due to self-respect, but there were also external reasons."

"At that time, there was a man who kept bothering me!" Wang Ma summarized it all in one sentence.

"Why didn’t you tell Huangfu Yueli and the others?"

"I had already brought them enough trouble, didn’t want to bring them more." Wang Ma said lightly.

"Was that person their relative?"

"Son-in-law, just don’t ask anymore."

"Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask!" Ye Xunhuan said in resignation: "Wang Ma, the man you once loved, I know him, and I have met him more than once!"

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan no longer needed to ask Wang Ma about her past with the king, because it was no longer necessary, he had already gotten the answers he wanted!

"Son-in-law, you... you really know him?" Wang Ma’s face was suddenly filled with an indescribable expression of excitement.

Ye Xunhuan nodded!

"Is... is he doing well?"

"Very well." Ye Xunhuan said softly: "Wang Ma, his status is very noble, you absolutely don’t need to worry about him."

"I knew long ago that he definitely wasn’t a regular person." Wang Ma smiled bitterly: "I vaguely guessed back then, but love, such a thing, is uncontrollable, in fact, it can even control people!"

"Wang Ma, aren’t you curious about who he really is?"

"Curious!"

"His name is King, he stands at the pinnacle of power in Huaxia, his words alone command the submission of thousands; he is indeed a true ruler." Ye Xunhuan said seriously: "It can be said that Zilin is undoubtedly a little princess!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze fell on Wang Zilin.

After hearing about her biological father’s esteemed status, Wang Zilin didn’t display any sign of excitement. She appeared very calm, like a lake without a ripple, calm to the extreme.

As if for Wang Zilin, no matter how glorious her biological father was, it had nothing to do with her.

"King, so his real name is King!" Wang Ma smiled bitterly.

The next moment, Wang Ma slowly shifted her gaze to Ye Xunhuan: "Son-in-law, how do you know him?"

This time, Ye Xunhuan completely didn’t know how to respond.

After a brief silence, Ye Xunhuan shifted his gaze to Wang Zilin: "Zilin, could you pour me a cup of tea?"

Wang Zilin knew Ye Xunhuan was purposely sending her away.

Though she was aware of this, Wang Zilin didn’t say much, instead she obediently went to pour Ye Xunhuan tea.

It’s not that Ye Xunhuan intentionally wanted to send Wang Zilin away, but he genuinely didn’t know how to speak in her presence.

Once Wang Zilin left, Ye Xunhuan said: "He is my enemy, my mother died at his hands, my master and brothers were almost all killed by him!"

Saying this, a look of incredibly difficult bitterness appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face: "In other words, between the two of us, only one can survive!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wang Ma’s face instantaneously turned extremely pale, and even her body began to shake uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan quickly helped Wang Ma: "Wang Ma, are you okay?"

"Son-in-law... Do... do you really have to be in a life-or-death struggle?"

"Wang Ma, I know this is hard for you to accept, but I don’t want to deceive you, the fact is that if he doesn’t die, then I will!"
