Ji Nuan nodded.

She suddenly felt that the words Mo Jingshen spoke were more than ever before.

“Where are you going this time? The United States or Japan?” she couldn’t help but ask.

He rubbed at her hair and whispered gently, “You’ll know when you see the local specialty I bring to you.”

…

Several days later, Ji Nuan received a phone call from Ji Hongwen.

Ji Mengran had been missing for ten days, and Ji Hongwen’s voice sounded smaller and older than before. He didn’t sound depressed, but Ji Nuan knew he hadn’t been eating or sleeping well these days.

Today was the death anniversary of Ji Nuan’s mother. It had been so many years, and time had diluted the sadness. Ji Nuan habitually looked at the sky for a long time that day, when she received a call from Ji Hongwen.

“Nuan Nuan, I know you don’t ask me about your biological father because of what happened to Mengran. I had planned to keep these truths from you for the rest of my life. You will always be my daughter, and I’m not going to tell you the truth till I die.”

“I won’t force you if you don’t feel like telling me,” Ji Nuan said. “I never planned to find my biological father. You are already worried about Mengran, so you don’t have to…”

“It’s all right. At this point, deliberate concealment can only hurt. Your mother has been gone for many years. I’m sorry I fail to hide what she told me. I just didn’t expect Mengran would find out about it and tell you about it as a tool against you.” Ji Hongwen sighed. “Before your mother married me, she had a sad past. She didn’t love your biological father. Back then, I was a young man who was crazy in love, so even though your mother had been pregnant, without any hesitation, I still married her, protected her, and promised her I would take you as my own daughter. Nuan Nuan, you were brought up by me. To me, you and Mengran are both my daughters. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, I do, Dad.” Ji Nuan didn’t expect for Ji Hongwen to tell her the truth after keeping silent for days. She was suddenly relieved. At least now she was not the only one who was kept in the dark.

“As for who your biological father is, maybe you will never meet him in your life. Even if you do, he may never know your existence. I’m not going to retell too many of those old stories. After all, all this happened over 20 years ago, and it’s all about your mother not about you. Nuan Nuan, except blood ties, we are just like any other father and daughter. Now Mengran is still missing, and I hope you still take the Ji family as your family after you come back to Hai City. No matter what happens, the Ji family will always be behind you.”

Ji Nuan almost cried. “Dad, I have never denied you as my father. We are the same as before. I will not change, and you will not change either, will you?”

“Yes.” Ji Hongwen’s voice was hoarse with emotion. “Good girl. I know Mengran was wrong. She was really wrong in many ways. I have never shown partiality to any of you, but now I haven’t heard from her. Dad’s mood is inevitably affected, but I never mean to ignore you or give you the cold shoulder. You’ve always been my favorite daughter.”

“I know.” A lump stuck on Ji Nuan’s throat. She lifted her hand and rubbed her nose, trying not to sob.

She knew Ji Hongwen specially chose this day to talk to her. Fortunately, they had never been estranged with each other. The worst way of communication was no communication.
