In a second-class residential area in Longjiang City.

Zhao Yufei was dressed casually. She held two big bags in her hands as she quickly entered Building #3. When she arrived in front of Room 402, she knocked on the door lightly and said, "Yanyan, Godmother brought you some delicious food. Open the door."

A moment later, the door opened a crack, and a cute little head poked out from behind the door.

"Godmother, it's really you! Yanyan misses you so much!"

Gu Yanyan pushed the door wide open as soon as she saw who it was and pounced at Zhao Yufei.

"Is that so? I miss Yanyan too," Zhao Yufei said with a doting smile as she carried the bags inside with one hand.

Lin Yueyao was making lunch in the kitchen at this moment. She laughed and said, "Yufei, you really came at the right time."

"As the saying goes, 'It's better to come at the right time than to come early'," Zhao Yufei replied with a smile.

"Help me bring Yanyan to wash her hands and get ready for dinner."

"Okay, okay. Yanyan, let's go and wash our hands."

Zhao Yufei put down the bags in her hand and carried Gu Yanyan to wash her hands.

Lin Yueyao brought two dishes and a bowl of soup out and placed them on the table before she removed her apron and hung it up. She returned to the kitchen again and brought out the rice.

Zhao Yufei sat down with Gu Yanyan with her arms and looked at Lin Yueyao, who was walking over, and said, "Sister Yao, how have you been? Why… Why don't you come with me to the Demon Alliance Base? With my status, I'll be able to bring you in."

"Forget it. I still receive weekly resources from the government so it's not difficult to live. Moreover, it'll be difficult for me to see Little Blossom if I'm at the base," Lin Yueyao said, shaking her head as she scooped rice for Zhao Yufei and Gu Yanyan.

"Okay. However, you must tell me if you face any difficulties. Don't let yourself and Yanyan suffer…"

"Alright. Let's eat," Lin Yueyao said as she pushed a bowl toward Zhao Yufei.

"You and the Lin family… What about that heartless man who made you keep his secret for so many years?" Zhao Yufei asked in a low voice. She took a bite of the food before she continued to say in a low voice, "You're the eldest young miss of the Lin family, and you suffered so many years for him. But what about him? Where is he? I'm afraid he has long forgotten about you and is with another woman now."

Zhao Yufei felt that Lin Yueyao's persistence was not worth it.

Lin Yueyao was the eldest young miss of the Lin family. She was Lin Shuiyao and Lin Chen's sister. Back then, her family had arranged a marriage for her. At that time, she was extremely unwilling so she ran away for a year. However, when she returned, she had a child in her arms. She thought that her family would terminate the marriage since she had a child. Unexpectedly, her family had no intention of doing so. They even wanted to find out who the child's father was so they could silence him. However, she never gave up any information, and in the end, the family froze all her funds and disowned her.

Lin Yueyao lowered her head and said, "Yufei, let's not talk about that anymore. I only met him once. It's normal for him to forget me."

After running away from home in a fit of anger, Lin Yueyao got drunk in a high-end bar. At that time, she saw a very handsome man and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

When she woke up the next morning, she left quietly while he was still sleeping. She only knew that his surname was Gu and did not know his name. She only found out his name after watching the live broadcast.

Not long after that encounter, she found out that she was pregnant. Initially, she planned to abort the child, but in the end, she could not bear to do so. During that time, she thought about finding him so that their child would have a complete family. However, she doubted herself. Would he remember her? Did she even have a small place in his heart? With these thoughts in mind, she lost the courage to look for him.

"Sister Yao, I just feel angry on your behalf… That's right. Yanyan's surname is Gu. If only she's my boss' daughter…" Zhao Yufei said. She felt indignant on Lin Yueyao's behalf.

"Wait!" Zhao Yufei suddenly exclaimed. She frowned and put her chopsticks down before she held Gu Yanyan's face and examined it carefully.

"Godmother, what's wrong?" Gu Yanyan blinked her big eyes at Zhao Yufei in confusion.

After looking at Gu Yanyan's face carefully, she wiped the crumbs off Yanyan's mouth and said, "It's nothing. Eat."

"Oh."

Gu Yanyan did not think too much about it and continued to eat in relish. She naturally did not understand the conversation between the two women at all.

Zhao Yufei stared at Lin Yueyao and whispered, "Sister Yao, is Yanyan my boss…"

"Do you think that's possible?" Lin Yueyao retorted, forcing a smile on her face.

"Stop pretending. Yanyan's eyes, nose, and chin are the same as his," Zhao Yufei said as she continued to stare at Lin Yueyao.

Seeing that Lin Yueyao did not respond to her, Zhao Yufei continued to say, "No? Alright then. When I return, I'll personally ask Boss about this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueyao panicked and blurted out, "No!"

"So she's really my boss' daughter?"

Zhao Yufei's eyes widened in shock now that her guess had been confirmed. It was just a suspicion earlier. She deliberately said that she would speak to Gu Changqing to test Lin Yueyao. She did not expect Lin Yueyao to panic and react in such a way. Her emotions were surging like the storm at this moment.

"You tricked me?" Lin Yueyao naturally realized that she had been tricked at this moment.

"I really didn't expect this," Zhao Yufei said with a sigh, "Why didn't you go look for him?"

Lin Yueyao smiled bitterly. "Let me tell you. We only spent one night together. I didn't even know his name at that time. I only knew his surname. Do you think he'd believe me?"

"It can't be!" Zhao Yufei exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yueyao took a sip of the soup and said lightly, "It's the truth. It's just as you said. He probably doesn't remember me and already has another woman."

"This..." Zhao Yufei said, "You still have to try. Maybe he still remembers you. Perhaps he didn't know your name so he couldn't find you."

"Forget it. Don't talk nonsense," Lin Yueyao said seriously, "Let me think about this."

Zhao Yufei sighed. "It's been hard for Yanyan."

Upon hearing her name, Gu Yanyan said innocently, "Godmother, it's not hard for me!"

"Alright, alright," Zhao Yufei said as she patted Gu Yanyan's head. Then, she said to Lin Yueyao, "Hurry up and think about it. Yanyan needs fatherly love as well."

Lin Yueyao nodded. "I will."

After lunch, they went out for a walk, and Zhao Yufei only returned in the evening.

On the way back, Zhao Yufei felt extremely conflicted. She wondered if she should listen to her best friend and not say anything to Gu Changqing for the time being. After mulling over it, she finally decided to let her best friend figure it out on her own.
