Chapter 1471: You Are the Girl Rourou Left Behind

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1471: You Are the Girl Rourou Left Behind

After the three of them had breakfast together, Xia Liyuan and Xia Yinian went upstairs and entered the study.

"Nian Nian, why are you in such a hurry to find Dad, is something the matter?"

Xia Yiru pulled over a chair and placed it in front of his desk.

Xia Yinian went over, sat down on the swivel chair, and looked at the person who had just sat down as well.

"Dad, I want to know something about Rourou?"

Yinian’s words made Xia Yiru suddenly uneasy.

If he guessed correctly, the true Young Miss of the Feng Family was Xia Yinian, that is, the child Rourou left behind all those years ago was the flesh and blood of the Feng Family.

Now that Xia Yinian suddenly asked this question, Xia Liyuan would certainly wonder if she already knew about her true identity.

"Nian Nian, why did you suddenly ask about this person?" Xia Liyuan no longer wanted to say anything like "I don’t know Rourou," words that would deceive Xia Yinian.

However, he was sure he would still hold back, at the very least he didn’t want to personally push Xia Chuxue into despair.

Even though he knew that day would surely come, Xia Liyuan still couldn’t bring himself to take action personally.

"Dad, was Rourou the woman who left Xia Chuxue behind all those years ago?" Xia Yinian asked again.

She understood her father’s concerns very well, and she no longer blamed him now.

"If I say, this time I went to Bing City and met her, would you believe me?"

"Rourou? Bing City? How, how can that be? It’s been over ten years, I thought she was already..." Xia Liyuan’s excitement was beyond Xia Yinian’s expectations.

If she guessed correctly, the reason her father was willing to adopt her and even treated her like his own daughter was because he had feelings for Rourou.

She didn’t understand what kind of pain that was, but to say she could guess her father’s thoughts was really not hard with some effort.

As Xia Liyuan was about to speak, Xia Yinian’s voice sounded again.

"It is true." Xia Yinian nodded, affirming his suspicions.

"Dad, I’ve heard Sister Qing lost her memory and can’t recall the events from seventeen years ago."

"Sister Qing?" Xia Liyuan’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression a bit complicated.

"Yes." Xia Yinian nodded, "The Rourou from the past is now called Shen Qing. She had all her memories erased and was later saved by the Crown Prince."

"This time I went to Bing City to participate in the Alchemy Competition, and by coincidence met the Crown Prince, then later saw Shen Qing in Jing Garden."

"You... saw her?" Xia Liyuan gathered himself as if finally reacting.

"Yes." Xia Yinian confirmed.

"Nian Nian." Xia Liyuan looked at her, full of guilt.

Finally, he sighed lightly, saying, "You’re actually the girl Rourou left behind, Xia Chuxue is my biological daughter."

Xia Yinian looked back at him.

Their eyes met for quite a while before Xia Yinian took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, I look a lot like her."

Xia Liyuan nodded.

"Very much so, almost identical."

In his memory, Nian Nian really grew more and more like Rourou, eventually to the point where he almost couldn’t tell the difference.

Since Rourou was still around, there was no use hiding anymore.

"Nian Nian, I’m sorry! I couldn’t stop this from happening, allowing Chuxue to take your place."

"I dare not speak because too many people are involved in this matter..."

"Nian Nian, it’s Dad’s fault, and I don’t insist on getting your forgiveness, I..."

"Dad, hearing you take the initiative to speak out about this, what do I have left to be mad about?" Xia Yinian pursed her lips, and gave Xia Liyuan a smile.
