"Fang Chen, it's you!"
The maid screamed, and Lianxing was utterly shocked.
Fang Chen, who had disappeared for more than a year, suddenly reappeared at this time.
"Lianxing, it's me. How is Yaoyue...?" Fang Chen said, but his eyes were fixed on the baby who looked to be a little over one year old in the maid's arms.
"Fang Chen, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
Lianxing coldly and delicately shouted.
"......"
Fang Chen was speechless for a moment, then sighed and asked, "Lianxing, where is Yaoyue?"
"I don't know!" Lianxing's pretty face was as cold as ice.
Fang Chen ignored Lianxing's indifference and focused his gaze on the child in the maid's arms.
The child was about a year old, with rosy cheeks and smooth, porcelain-like skin. His chubby little hands were very cute.
When Fang Chen looked over, the child actually grinned and smiled.
Fang Chen was surprised to find that the child's smile was seven-tenths similar to his own childhood photos!
"Lianxing, this child, could it be my and Yaoyue's...?" Fang Chen recalled the date of their encounter in the forest, which coincided with his seclusion in the Temple of War. Calculated, it was exactly one and a half years.
The child was about one and a half years old.
"This child belongs to a female disciple; it has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing Fang Chen looking at the child, Lianxing quickly stepped in front of the maid and said, "Fang Chen, haven't you hurt my sister enough? Don't come again, go!"
"I don't believe it. This child looks seven-tenths like me. Whose child is it, the one that Yaoyue and I have?" Fang Chen looked at the child in the maid's arms and felt a growing sense of familiarity.
How can you be so shameless?
Lianxing left with her maid and the child, ignoring Fang Chen completely.
"Stop! Lianxing, I heard your conversation!"
Fang Chen watched Lianxing's retreating figure and asked, "Did Yaoyue go out looking for me?"
"My sister is so proud and arrogant, yet you have ruined her to this extent. She has never been married or had a child, and she spends her days in tears. You...you villain!" Lianxing's body trembled, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, pointing at Fang Chen and cursing loudly.
"Sister Lianxing, what's this child's name?"
Hearing Lianxing's words, Fang Chen ignored her cursing and was overjoyed.
"......."
Lianxing looked at Fang Chen for a long time, then sighed. "His name is 'Siyuan,' a name chosen by my older sister."
"Siyuan, meaning 'remembering the source of the water we drink'! What a wonderful name!"
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. "You chose the name Yaoyue, does that mean you've accepted me?"
“I don’t know. When my sister was nine months old in Siyuan, she left Yihua Palace. She went to find you.” Lianxing slowly opened up.
It turns out that in the past year or so, Yaoyue had been experiencing a mix of emotions as she became a mother. But looking at her child, she gradually calmed down.
She handed over the management of Yihua Palace entirely to Lianxing and Hua Wuque, while she devoted herself to taking care of the children.
However, the child only has a mother, but no father.
Yao Yue lost her father at a young age. In order to prevent her child from following in her footsteps and to have a complete family, she decided to accept Fang Chen. However, she mobilized the entire martial arts world but could not find any trace of Fang Chen!
In the end, she completely entrusted Xiao Siyuan to her younger sister Lianxing and the nanny, and embarked on her journey to find Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, where have you been all year? I've finally decided to accept you, but you've disappeared for so long!" Lianxing said angrily, looking at Fang Chen.
"It's hard to describe at a glance. I was trapped in a large formation for more than a year and only just got out."
Fang Chen sighed. His entry into the Temple of War God had been delayed for more than a year.
No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Yaoyue.
"Sister, can I hold my son?" Fang Chen was extremely excited and reached out to Lian Xing.
His hands were trembling slightly.
"Be careful, hold me like that..."
Lianxing gestured to the maid to hand the child over to Fang Chen.
"Wow........"
When Xiao Siyuan saw Fang Chen's outstretched hand, she suddenly burst into tears and started kicking her little hands and feet wildly. Fang Chen tried several times, but to no avail.
The child was surprisingly shy around strangers.
"this......"
Fang Chen was instantly speechless. This was his own son!
Why won't you let me hug you?
Left with no other choice, Fang Chen returned to reality and had the rocket pilots bring him a lot of milk, milk powder, baby bottles, and strollers.
