Chapter 2 Entanglement of the Past

  【Wind Cloud Network】"This is indeed a fate. I didn't know this was your child before, but we met by chance." Dong Qingyuan liked this feeling very much, especially when the person he liked was right in front of him. Dong Qingyuan couldn't even stop his heart from beating faster. It was as if the intense emotions were cheering for this encounter.

  Even at this moment, the scene deeply hurt Dong Qingyuan. The woman he liked was in someone else's arms. Such a lovable and annoying thing made Dong Qingyuan even more unbearable.

  "These few kids have all been spoiled by me, it's actually thanks to Master Dong instead." Pei Hua Xin was a child who actually understood the bigger picture better than Hua Xiang, and also knew how to take advantage of being a girl. However, getting involved with Dong Qing Yuan wasn't a bad idea either. If she wouldn't end up sacrificing her own daughter, that would be even better.

  So even if it's polite, Yuan Shu Han doesn't hide his disgust at all. As the daughter of Yuan Shu Han, Pei Hua Xin can naturally feel this feeling clearly. However, she still likes this uncle very much. She can only lower her head and make a pitiful expression, then start thinking about it. Is there any way to make her mother not dislike this uncle so much?

  "I didn't think the place where we would reunite would be here..." Although he knew that Yu Shu Huan and Bae Myung Seong were already a legitimate husband and wife, Dong Qing Yuan still couldn't control his heart. The woman he had always been thinking about was her. How could he bear such an outcome? Facing Yu Shu Huan's undisguised disgust, Dong Qing Yuan always felt a sense of being at a loss...

  From the first meeting to this reunion, Yuan Shuhuan had been extremely disgusted with himself. This feeling, in the face of what had happened before, would only intensify and not alleviate in the slightest. Dong Qingyuan had also thought that Yuan Shuhuan would appear at the grave of Yuanjia Da Lang, pointing his sword at him as he did in the past, to dispel the evil intentions of those villains towards his father's grave.

  But unexpectedly, it was in Pei Mingxuan's mansion. He was watching them being affectionate with each other here. And that child who had been following him for the past few days... Dong Qingyuan felt like he was completely excluded. It wasn't intentional on Pei Mingxuan or Yuan Shuhan's part, yet it cleverly isolated him from their world...

  Mother, father and lovely children. Isn't it a perfect family? Dong Qingyuan felt an inexplicable heartache. But still wore the most perfect smile. For so many years, he had always had this smile. From beginning to end, it had never changed. And how much sincerity was hidden beneath this smile, even he himself did not know...

  "If it weren't for you coming with Huaxin this time, perhaps you would have ended up dead on the spot too. There's one thing you must be very clear about: my temper has never been good." Yuan Shuhan's words made Pei Huaxin's heart skip a beat. Such gentle and kind motherly love, yet she spoke such brutal words. What had this uncle done in the past?

  "You are Hua Xin." This name was obtained by Pei Mingxuan himself. Pei Mingxuan is naturally very familiar with this name. "Look at this little face"

  "Let's go take a bath with Dad." Although there were many questions in her mind, it was clear that this wasn't the right time to ask them. At least not for a child. Pei Ming Xuan could tell that this little girl still had some feelings for Dong Qing Yuan.

  "You two are really good to me like this." Yuan Shu Han leaned on the soft couch, his whole person was lazy and didn't want to move at all. Pei Ming Xuan originally had a set of ways to coax children, it seemed that in the future he could be more idle. But looking at these two people practicing hand in hand and loving each other as they walked away, facing Dong Qing Yuan alone was simply disgusting...

  Bai Mingxuan was stunned by Yuan Shuhuan's question. What did he do to Yuan Shuhuan? But then he saw Yuan Shuhuan nodding towards Dong Qingyuan, clearly reminding Bai Mingxuan of his presence. However, this made Pei Huaxin, who was standing beside him, look a bit dull. "When did Mother have such an expression?" This man really seems to be extraordinary.

  Bae Hua-xin, of course, wouldn't forget. Just now Bae Ming-xuan called himself "dad" twice. And most importantly, mother didn't even object. On the contrary, she used words like "you two as father and daughter". Bae Hua-xin started sizing up the man in front of her. Judging by his appearance alone, he was indeed a rare find among men. But what was most peculiar was that head of white hair. It actually added a few points to his extraordinary and otherworldly aura.

  Pei Huaxin couldn't help but glance at the lazy Yuan Shuhuan beside her. It seemed that this was not what Mother loved about all men. Pei Huaxin secretly mourned for other fathers. But looking at Dong Qingyuan's gaze towards Mother, it was similar to Father's gaze towards Mother. So, this uncle liked Mother? Pei Huaxin felt a hint of melancholy.

  "Dad and mom want to take Hua Xin together. Thank you, uncle, for bringing Hua Xin back home." Pei Hua Xin made a decision at the first time. At the same time, she also gave up her own small calculation in her heart. This kind of thing was not something that she could insist on anyway. This is also the explanation that this uncle always sees through herself to look at others.

  "It's time to send the guest off." The considerate daughter made people feel very comfortable, but the daughter seemed unhappy. Looking at her slightly disappointed face, Yuan Shu Huan pursed his lips and didn't speak. Dong Qingyuan was indeed a troublemaker. Just look at how he had ruined his own daughter. Pei Huaxin couldn't have been here longer than himself, after all, he had only just arrived here a day or two ago.

  "You don't want to know about the treasure in the tomb." Dong Qingyuan was clearly unwilling to leave like this. This matter, Dong Qingyuan had a full grasp of. But then he saw the maid bring over a basin of hot water. And Pei Mingxuan took the hot water and began to wipe Pei Huaxin's face. The movement was so gentle that it made one speechless. It was completely impossible to believe that this was the famous general who shook the world.

  It turned out that this thing was true after all. Otherwise, Dong Qingyuan wouldn't be so calm and composed. Such a question already showed that Dong Qingyuan had complete confidence in this matter. At least this thing wasn't something Dong Qingyuan fabricated just to force himself to come out with such nonsense. Unfortunately, Yuan Shuhuan was still not interested in this matter. Nowadays, she didn't lack any gold, silver or treasures.

  "You think this matter is important, probably just because it's not your ancestral grave. Even for you, it probably makes no difference as long as there are sufficient benefits." This is how Yuan Shuhuan understands Dong Qingyuan. No need to mention the depth or superficiality of it. At least it restores a relatively true Dong Qingyuan.

  "If there's enough profit to be made, then not many people in this world can avoid being deceitful and ungrateful." Although Dong Qingyuan's words were a bit cold-blooded, they were also another kind of fact. What Dong Qingyuan did was just the same as what others in this world do. Even Yuan Shuhuan couldn't be too demanding. It's impossible for Yuan Shuhuan to be so naive and foolish. He should be extremely clear about such things.

  Dong Qingyuan also acknowledged what Yuan Shuheng said, and it was also because of Pei Huaxin's presence. Unfortunately, Dong Qingyuan couldn't have imagined that Pei Huaxin could understand everything they were saying. This also gave him a deeper understanding of this warm and gentle uncle who had always been smiling. He couldn't help but deny what Dong Qingyuan said was right, but at the same time, it made people feel chilled to the bone.

  Pei Huaxin has been carefree since childhood, and she was born very sensible and clever. After weighing everything, she always knows what to give up and what to gain, but also tends towards the side that she values most. If Dong Qingyuan is a person who only thinks of himself, then Pei Hua Xiu is exactly the opposite, one who thinks for the public good. This makes Yuan Shuhuan feel extremely headache, always thinking how someone as selfish as him could have such a selfless daughter.

  This is one point where Pei Hua Xin is on par with Pei Ming Xuan. No wonder they have a fateful relationship as father and daughter in this life. Pei Hua Xin glanced at Dong Qing Yuan's face, still smiling like a spring breeze. In her heart, she always had a feeling of sudden realization. It turns out that not everyone in the world is like her mother, with their joys and sorrows written all over their face so truthfully.

  There are still people like this uncle, no matter what happens, it can't be seen from his face. He always has the same expression when facing everyone, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false.

  "Unfortunately, I'm not interested. Whoever dares to disturb my ancestors' graves can try... Dong Qingyuan, you really think I won't kill you." The last sentence was spoken extremely lightly by Yuan Shuhuan, but it sounded extremely terrifying.

  Dong Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment. Actually, Yuan Shuheng was right about this point. He indeed felt fearless and thought that Yuan Shuheng would not lay hands on him. Now, Yuan Shuheng's attitude made him somewhat perplexed. He still remembered that it was Yuan Shuheng's wedding night back then. When he encountered that incident, didn't Yuan Shuheng appear in person?

  From that time on, Dong Qingyuan believed that he was different from Yuan Shuhuan. This can also be considered one of the reasons why Pei Mingxuan dared to do so. However, Yuan Shuhuan's attitude now has made Dong Qingyuan somewhat perplexed. If he didn't care, why would he come in the middle of the night? And if he did care, then what was the point of all this shouting and commotion?

  "Dong Qingyuan, there's one thing you need to remember: from the start until now, it's all been you owing me." From the beginning, Dong Qingyuan was the one who did wrong things. Yuan Shuhan, on the other hand, has always been selflessly saving him without holding grudges. However, this cannot be used as an excuse for Dong Qingyuan to take advantage of him. Gnashing his teeth and steeling his heart to kill Dong Qingyuan is actually quite simple.

  It's never pleasant to be with Dong Qingyuan. Yuan Shuheng also finds this quite strange. Although Yuan Shuheng is not planning to have a pleasant time with Dong Qingyuan either.

  "Abandoning me after I've spent my whole life cultivating poisonous skills, have you forgotten so easily?" Dong Qingyuan's teeth itched with rage at the mere mention of this matter. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to confront Yuan Shuhuan head-on. Yuan Shuhuan had always been one to kill directly and decisively. It was a mystery why he had spared Dong Qingyuan's life in the first place. Just as Yuan Shuhuan thought, it seemed there was some reliance on him due to his special circumstances.

  Yuanshu hummed coldly, looking at Dong Qingyuan with a disdainful expression. This is all there is to it, and yet this person still remembers it so clearly. Perhaps this matter was indeed more important to Dong Qingyuan after all.

  "It's actually true when you think about it. Do you still remember why back then? I never talk about reason. You've also forgotten this point."
