Fufeng looked at his father who was about to cry, and reminded him with disgust, "Old man, don't be embarrassed. Don't scare Ran Ran when we meet him for the first time."
When Qin Linyuan heard Fufeng's words, he quickly put away his emotions, stood up awkwardly and poured a cup of tea for Bai Ranran, "You are here, sit down and have a cup of tea first."
Mo Shaohua had told Bai Lianran about his life experience before, so she had already guessed who the middle-aged man in front of her was.
Mo Shaohua said that Fufeng was her biological brother and the prince of Prince Linyuan, so this middle-aged man was probably Prince Linyuan himself.
No wonder, wearing simple cloth, he still carries an aura that cannot be ignored.
She felt thirsty on the way here, so after hearing this, she sat down and took a sip of tea.
She did not have a good impression of her father and brother, and she was not familiar with Qin Linyuan. She had no expression on her face and did not take the initiative to speak.
None of the three people in the room spoke, and Bai Liran felt that the recognition scene was so awkward and suffocating.
Qin Linyuan stared at Bai Linran, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Seeing that his father was so useless, Fufeng couldn't help it anymore and joked to lighten the atmosphere, "Didn't my disciple already worship me as his disciple before? Why did he betray his disciple again while I was gone?"
Bai Lanran warmed her hands with hot tea, smiled at Fufeng and said, "I think at our age, it would be better for us to be closer as brothers and sisters. What do you think, senior brother?"
"I think..."
Fufeng touched his chin with his slender fingers and looked at Bai Ranran with a smile on his face, "Being brothers and sisters makes us closer."
He mentioned it jokingly first, and she would be more accepting of it after a while.
Although Bai Ranran knew Qin Linyuan's identity, she still didn't know his purpose and could only act stupid.
She held the tea cup to her lips and watched the steam rising from the tea without saying any more negative words.
Seeing that Qin Linyuan had no intention of speaking, she put the teacup in her hand on the table, looked at him, and asked, "Is there something wrong with you looking at me like this?"
It wasn't that Qin Linyuan didn't want to talk, he just saw his daughter whom he was thinking about day and night. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. His throat seemed to be blocked and it was difficult to make a sound.
He had thought about a lot of things before, but now he was afraid that he would say them abruptly and frighten Bai Lianran.
When he heard Bai Linran talking to him, he overturned the tea cup in front of him in excitement, but forgot to avoid it. The tea flowed down the table and soaked his clothes.
Fufeng raised his hand to his forehead. This was the first time in his life that he saw his wise and mighty father act so rude.
Qin Linyuan came back to his senses, collected his emotions, and his voice trembled slightly, "Can I see the jade pendant around your neck?"
Bai Ranran was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to untie the jade cicada from her neck, and handed it to Qin Linyuan who reached out to take it.
Qin Linyuan held the piece of jade cicada, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he gently rubbed the jade pendant with his fingertips, as if the jade pendant was some rare treasure.
He moved his lips and finally sighed, "Back then, in order to find out the truth behind my friend's death, I secretly rushed back to Kyoto. I was injured on the way and was saved by her. Later, I fell in love with her."
"Actually, I have met her before, but she was not in Kyoto often at that time and had been studying medicine abroad. I recognized her, but she did not recognize me..."
When Bai Liran heard this, she realized that this person was going to tell her a story!
It still tells the love story between him and his original mistress.
She did not interrupt and listened patiently.
After he finished speaking, he probably figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
In order to investigate the death of the former prince, Qin Linyuan risked his life and sneaked into Kyoto. He was injured on the way and was rescued by Chi Yuwei.
After getting along, the two developed a small flame of love.
At that time, Chi Yuqing, the wife of Duke Dingguo, was kidnapped by bandits. After Chi Yuwei learned about it, he and Qin Linyuan rescued her and nursed her back to health.
But he never expected that Chi Yuqing, who was already married and had children, would develop feelings for Qin Linyuan that she shouldn't have.
But Qin Linyuan was obsessed with Chi Yuwei, and not only refused to accept her, but also said many unpleasant things.
After being repeatedly rejected by Qin Linyuan, Chi Yuqing felt resentful and returned to Dingguo Gongfu.
When Chi Yuwei was in labor, she reported Qin Linyuan's private departure from the fiefdom.
Officers and soldiers pursued him, but Qin Linyuan failed to protect Chi Yuwei in the end.
When Lin Fengmian arrived after hearing the news, he only saved Fufeng, who was almost killed, but the newborn Bai Ranran was missing.
At that time, although Qin Linyuan returned to the fiefdom in time and resolved the crisis, the emperor had doubts about him and kept sending people to keep an eye on him, making it difficult for him to move and not dare to make any move.
After that, Qin Linyuan has been looking for Bai Linran for so many years.
Qin Linyuan also told the origin of this jade pendant.
Qin Linyuan's words were very clear, all he had to do was tell Bai Linran that she was his daughter who had been missing for many years.
After hearing this, Bai Liran no longer needed to pretend not to understand.
She looked at Qin Linyuan and said calmly: "It is very dangerous for you to leave the fiefdom now. You should not come."
Mo Shaohua said that Qin Linyuan was a thorn in Emperor Chengde's heart. He had always wanted to find a reason to get rid of him. It was really unnecessary for him to take such a risk.
Neither Qin Linyuan nor Fufeng expected that this would be the first thing Bai Linran said after hearing this incident.
Qin Linyuan was even more shocked.
She knew that he was talking about her, and she already knew her life experience.
Lin Fengmian said that he did not tell Bai Lanran, so it must be Mo Shaohua who told her.
Qin Linyuan looked at the indifferent Bai Linran and felt depressed. He felt that he had wronged her all these years and thought that she might not want to accept him.
It seems that Lin Fengmian is right. His daughter, who has been missing for more than ten years, is different from the daughter he imagined.
He originally thought that Bai Linran didn't know about it, and he was worried that she would not be able to accept it for a while, so he told the story of that year.
Now looking at her indifferent and distant reaction, is it because she doesn't want to recognize him?
Qin Linyuan's heart ached at the thought that the daughter he had been looking for for so many years might disown him.
It was indeed his fault that he had made her suffer outside all these years.
"I originally wanted to take you back to Jiangyuan, but when I came I heard that you had made an engagement with Prince Ning and had his child."
He was silent for a while, frowning tightly, as if he was very troubled by this matter, and seemed dissatisfied with the engagement.
Bai Ranran instinctively rejected the role of father, and smiled distantly at Qin Linyuan, "I won't go back with you, so if you are here for me, there is really no need."
She doesn't need a father or a brother in her life.
Although she is not disgusted with Fufeng, she is very disgusted with her brother's identity.
Qin Linyuan looked at Bai Linran, frowned and sighed, "Are you willing to recognize me as your father?"
Bai Ranran had no feelings for him at all, let alone the so-called blood-thicker-than-water affection, but she could also see that he might be a good father.
"Whether I admit it or not, you are my father, and your blood is flowing in my body, so there is no need to dwell on this issue. If you want me to call you father, I can do it, but now is not the right time.
, it’s not good for you, and it’s not good for His Highness Prince Ning.”
