Jiang Feng sighed. “That girl was his first love.”

“First love?” Ming Yue asked, puzzled.

Jiang Feng nodded. “Yes, his first love. Her family was quite well-off; they probably took a fancy to Liu Fan’s looks and started dating for a while.”

“And then?”

“The girl’s family was extremely cautious and never approved of the relationship. They even went around asking people about Liu Fan’s background. Later, after learning about the Liu family home, they forced the girl to break up with Liu Fan.”

“They didn’t split up?”

“Yes. When she refused, her family immediately arranged a blind date for her and forcibly broke up with Liu Fan, pushing her to marry the other man instead.”

“And after that?”

Ming Yue frowned as she asked.

Jiang Feng let out another low sigh. “The girl felt terrible for letting Liu Fan down, so right before her wedding she secretly ran away to see him one last time—probably hoping to say a proper goodbye. But before they could even exchange a word, Liu Fan stripped her naked and assaulted her.”

“Beast! That Liu family really is nothing but heartless beasts!”

Ming Yue fumed, then turned to Jiang Feng and asked, “So that girl got pregnant? With Liu Fan’s child?”

“Yes, Liu Fan’s. The girl’s husband doesn’t know—he still thinks the baby is his own.”

“How did you find out?”

“Gu Yanxing told me. As for how he found out, I’m not sure, but I trust him. In the past few days I’ve even gone to take a look at the child myself. The features… they do resemble the Liu family a bit. Anyone who’s ever met Liu Fan would recognize it right away.”

Jiang Feng didn’t keep this secret from Ming Yue; instead, he laid everything out in detail, including how Gu Yanxing had discovered the connection between her and Liu Fan.

After finishing the explanation, Jiang Feng turned to the woman in his arms and said, “Ming Yue, that man’s status is pretty high now, and he values his eldest son a lot. Do you want to use this ‘knife’?”

“You mean using someone else to do the killing—letting that man or that mother-and-child pair go after that Liu family beast?”

Ming Yue asked softly.

Jiang Feng nodded. “That’s what I’m asking. But it’s just a question; how we actually proceed is up to you.”

Ming Yue took a deep breath, snuggled closer into his embrace, settled into a comfortable position, and said slowly, “Forget it.”

“Forget it?”

“Yes, forget it. Although this secret is a powerful weapon that could make things much easier for me, I don’t want to drag that woman into it. She’s probably been having nightmares late at night these past few years, worrying day and night about the child’s identity. She’s finally managed to hold on until now—why should I stir her up again? Being hateful isn’t a bad thing, but when hatred becomes completely devoid of humanity, it ceases to be human.”

“I see. Our Yue’er truly has a kind heart—beautiful inside and out.”

Jiang Feng launched into a full-blown compliment.

And it wasn’t empty flattery. He genuinely thought so; that’s really how he saw the woman in his arms.

She was simply the best, the most beautiful, and the kindest!

Ming Yue smiled faintly, then suddenly asked, “Gu Yanxing knows about all this, right?”

“Sort of,” Jiang Feng admitted honestly, before adding, “But don’t worry—he’ll only be our ally, not someone who’ll interfere with our big plans. As for Fu Qiancheng…”

Jiang Feng paused for a moment before continuing, “He won’t tell Fu Qiancheng, so Fu Qiancheng probably still doesn’t know—for now.”

Ming Yue just smiled without saying anything further.
