An Qiwas a little thrown off guard by Nie Xingzhi’s childish look, but compared to this, she was more concerned about the previous problem.
“These are not the point, right? The point is, since you were in a relationship, why did Yue Yue’s mother go somewhere far away while she was still pregnant with Yue Yue? Did you do something that wronged her? Or did you abandon them?”
“I didn’t!” The smug expression on Nie Xingzhi’s face froze. There was a long silence before he said with difficulty, “But it was my fault indeed.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Nie Xingzhi looked up and glanced at everyone. After seeing the coldness in everyone’s eyes, he smiled bitterly and said, “As you know, although rich people live an affluent life, we have our troubles too. One of them is that we don’t often get to make decisions about our marriage, especially in times of
family crisis.”
Nie Xingzhi sighed. The tone of his voice was unconsciously tinged with remorse. “Yue Ru and I had planned to get married as soon as we graduated, but something unexpected happened. Upon our graduation, Nie Group had a financial crisis. In order to quickly escape this crisis, my family came up with
the most efficient idea.”
“Political marriage of convenience?”
Zhao Youlin guessed it right at once. Nie Xingzhi’s expression tumed even gloomy.
“Political marriage of convenience?” An Qi and the others looked upset as well. “So, in order to help your family, you betrayed Yue Yue’s mother and chose to marry another woman?”
“No!” An Qi’s words obviously irritated Nie Xingzhi. His eyes were red, and he roared in a hoarse voice, “That’s just their wishful thinking, I never wanted to betray Yue Ru.”
“Why then? Why did Yue Yue’s mother still choose to leave you, despite knowing that she was pregnant with your child?”
“Because… Because she misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood?”
“That’s right.” Nie Xingzhi gritted his teeth. “I didn’t care about the marriage proposal at all, but the woman who was being arranged to marry me wanted to marry me so badly that she would do anything to make it happen. Because I was worried that Yue Ru would overthink it, and since I had no intention
of accepting the marriage, I didn’t think it was necessary to tell Yue Ru about it, but I never thought that because of my presumptuous thoughts, I would regret it for the rest of my life.”

“What happened after that?” An Qi and the others simply did not have the patience to listen to Nie Xingzhi continue to repent. She frowned and interrupted him without pity and asked again.
Nie Xingzhi choked. He said in a resentful yet resigned manner, “That woman clearly knew that I already had someone I loved, but she still wanted to marry me. In order to get me, she pretended to act pitiful in front of Yue Ru and begged her to leave me. After that, she tricked Yue Ru over and pretended
to be intimate with me in front of her, even though nothing happened between us. Yue Ru fell for it and thought I betrayed her. She was heartbroken. She left me a letter and left me.”
An Yue and the others were stunned and surprised, especially An Qi. She had envisioned countless scenarios of An Yue’s father abandoning her mother and her, but she did not expect this would be it.
“Iwas too careless. I didn’t realize that women would do something like that, and I didn’t notice how Yue Ru was feeling during that period. By the time I noticed it, it was already too late.” The regretful look on Nie Xingzhi’s face seemed genuine, An Yue and the rest felt a little moved.
“After Yue Ru went missing, I had been looking for her like a mad man, but it was like Yue Ru had disappeared from the face of the earth. I couldn’t find her anywhere. Most importantly, I wasn’t as capable as I am now. It’s probably because of that, that I missed the best time to find Yue Ru, but I’ve never
given up looking for her. I thought that as long as she is still alive, I would be able to find her one day. I didn’t expect that…”
“Tcan vouch for him about that.” Old Master Zhao timely said. He managed to draw everyone’s attention to him. “All these years, this guy has indeed been looking for Yue Ru. Yue Ru is also the reason as to why he is still single now.”
The crowd had a complicated expression on their face after hearing what the old man said, especially An Qi and An Yue.
Duan Yarong could not help but interject, “What is going on? Based on what you just said, Yue Yue is Mr. Nie’s long-lost daughter?”
As Zhao Youlin and the others did not answer her, Duan Yarong’s expression darkened. She directly picked a person and asked, “Youlin, what is going on? Tell me!”
“Mom, didn’t you hear it just now?” Zhao Youlin let out a burst of forced laughter. Under Duan Yarong’s furious gaze, she obediently repeated what Nie Xingzhi just said. “In short, Yue Yue’s mother was misled. She misunderstood that Mr. Nie had betrayed her. So while she was still pregnant with Yue Yue,
she left Mr. Nie, who did not even know he had become a father. After Mr. Nie realized that she left him, he tried to look for her, though unfortunately, he had limited capability. When he finally had the capability, Yue Yue’s mother had already passed away, which made it even difficult for him to find
her. And this time, I don’t know how he got his lucky break and found Yue Yue. So now he’s trying to reunite with Yue Yue.”
After Zhao Youlin explained it, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shuncheng finally understood the whole story. Their gaze toward An Yue and Nie Xingzhi became somewhat complicated.
They did not mind about An Yue’s family background. They had thought that An Yue was just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, so they were really surprised to hear that An Yue actually was related to the Nie family, and Nie Xingzhi was the one she was related to. They had to say that this was kind
of fate.
Nie Xingzhi did not care about how others thought about him. All he could think about was what was on An Yue and An Qi’s minds. After seeing that they remained impassive, he imperceptibly sighed and said, “I know it’s hard for you to accept me right away, but I still hope that you can think about it and
give me a chance to make it up to you.”
An Yue pursed her lips and said nothing, Nie Xingzhi did not dare to push her, so he could only tum his gaze to An Qi. “Thank you for being by Yue Yue’s side, caring for her, and taking care of her all these years. Please believe me, I’m not here to snatch Yue Yue away from you. I just hope that you can give
me a chance. Let me be a father of two daughters, and you can have a father too.”
An Qi’s eyes wavered for a moment. She said in a muffled voice, “This is not something I can decide. It’s up to Yue Yue..”
