"I know how painful it is to not know why your biological parents abandoned you," Luo Wenwen said, her gaze growing tender as she looked at Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong: "......"
Actually, when he first learned about it, Yang Feilong had been devastated. He had even wondered if he had been abandoned because he was gravely ill, and he didn't think it was an unlikely scenario, given his poor health since childhood.
The incomplete Yin-Yang physique caused him to fall ill frequently, and his condition only worsened.
If his adoptive parents hadn't found his master when he was eight, he might not have lived to ten.
Some parents, unable to afford to raise a child or fearing their son would bankrupt the family, chose to abandon them. Such occurrences were not uncommon.
Therefore, Yang Feilong had been deeply saddened. But later, he stopped dwelling on it. Firstly, as he cultivated with his master, his episodes of illness became less frequent. Of course, according to his master, he had to undergo eighty-one tribulations, among which were nine major tribulations.
If he could overcome them, his Yin-Yang physique would be perfected. If not, he would perish.
So far, he had weathered seven major tribulations, with two remaining.
As for minor tribulations, they no longer posed much of a threat to Yang Feilong.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Luo Wenwen couldn't help but ask.
"There's nothing more to say. It's all in the past!" Yang Feilong shrugged and smiled, "I'm doing well now, aren't I?"
He had thought about it before, but in recent years, he rarely dwelled on it. Why would he find his biological parents and care for them in their old age?
Yang Feilong wasn't that benevolent.
While he wouldn't be harsh, he wouldn't be overly solicitous either.
Let it be.
It was fine.
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Luo Wenwen sighed inwardly. She knew what it felt like to be abandoned. Honestly, if she hadn't learned the truth, she, who was now living a relatively good life, would never have considered finding her biological parents.
Of course, this reunion had ultimately led to a happy outcome.
Her parents hadn't abandoned her intentionally.
Moreover, her parents were also pitiable individuals.
"I wonder, Brother Feilong, if your biological parents were in a similar situation?" Luo Wenwen mused, then said.
The reason she brought this up was naturally her hope that Feilong's situation was due to unforeseen circumstances, not a deliberate act by his parents.
Yang Feilong shook his head and smiled, "Alright, it's getting late. Get some rest."
"......" Hearing Brother Feilong's words, Luo Wenwen couldn't help but show a wry smile. It seemed Brother Feilong had already concluded that his circumstances were quite different from hers.
Although she didn't know why Brother Feilong was so certain, she figured he must have his reasons.
"Brother Feilong, can we chat for a bit longer? I can't sleep right now," Luo Wenwen pleaded softly.
"But I'm tired," Yang Feilong said with a hint of helplessness.
Alright, he was a bit tired, mainly mentally. But he used that as an excuse, worried that Luo Wenwen might confess again, and rejecting someone was quite draining.
After all, he had to make her give up without causing her too much sadness, a delicate balance to strike.
"Alright then! Goodnight." Luo Wenwen pondered for a moment. Feilong did seem quite exhausted today. He had driven the whole way, continuously treated her mother, and then appeased her and Yang Qingqing. All these things could easily lead to mental fatigue.
Returning to the room arranged for him by the Luo family, Yang Feilong lay on the bed. He meditated briefly, then opted for sleep instead of further cultivation.
......
The next morning.
Yang Feilong bid farewell to Luo Feng and the others.
"Feilong, why the hurry to leave?" Luo Feng asked repeatedly.
His wife had woken from a vegetative state thanks to Yang Feilong. Calling him a lifesaver was no exaggeration. He hadn't yet figured out how to repay Yang Feilong's kindness.
"I don't want to either, but there are things at the company that I need to attend to. Also, school is about to start, and there's a lot to handle," Yang Feilong said with some regret.
Luo Feng was already aware that despite his young age, Yang Feilong owned a company and was also a medical instructor at Lan Hai University. He had been shocked when he learned this. Such an exceptional individual, seemingly only existing in legends, he had the good fortune to meet.
Furthermore, the young man had a close relationship with his daughter. This was truly a joyous prospect.
"Is that so!" Luo Feng said with a wry smile, "But you must at least have lunch with us."
"No need. There will be many opportunities in the future. Besides, I've seen Auntie's condition. She's recovering very well. With the prescription I gave and some more medication, she'll be able to walk freely like a normal person soon!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Brother Feilong." Luo Wenwen looked at Yang Feilong with obvious reluctance.
She naturally couldn't leave. After all, she had just reunited with her biological parents, and her mother desperately wanted her to stay. Luo Wenwen also wished to be with her parents. Yet, she longed to be with Yang Feilong. Now that he was leaving, she was naturally disheartened.
But she also knew that even if she didn't stay with her parents and returned to Lan Hai City with Yang Feilong, her Brother Feilong likely wouldn't have time to spend with her. As for the promise of staying for a few days, Luo Wenwen didn't press the issue. The events of yesterday had created a slight awkwardness between them.
Shortly after, amidst the gratitude of the Luo family, Yang Feilong and Yang Qingqing departed.
Yes, Yang Qingqing also chose to return to Lan Hai City.
Logically, if not for yesterday's events, she might have stayed with Luo Wenwen at her home for a few days. But now, Yang Qingqing wanted to be with her brother.
After Yang Feilong and Yang Qingqing left.
"Wenwen, are you and Feilong dating?" Huo Juan asked curiously.
"No," Luo Wenwen shook her head.
"Feilong is such an outstanding person; you must seize the opportunity!" Huo Juan earnestly advised, "Men like him are highly sought after. If you don't act fast, you'll surely be pursued by other women!"
"I know," Luo Wenwen said with a bitter smile. Do you think I don't want to? I practically confessed yesterday in an indirect way, but he wasn't willing. He said he had many girlfriends. I even considered becoming one of his girlfriends, but he didn't seem interested in me.
"Feilong is indeed excellent," Luo Feng couldn't help but agree.
Although fathers were usually very picky about their daughters' boyfriends, he and his daughter had just reunited, and he didn't want to discipline her. Moreover, even by his discerning standards, Yang Feilong was impeccably perfect.
But precisely because of this, he felt a pang of worry. Despite her own merits, his daughter was still far from worthy of him.
Would he even look favorably upon his daughter?
From the previous events, he could vaguely sense that Yang Feilong might not have had a genuine reason to leave, but was instead avoiding his daughter.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He didn't know how to discuss this matter with his daughter, fearing that his words might not align with her wishes and she might get angry with him.
