Chapter 597
Huo Shao Ting's expression was also complex. He had not expected such a convoluted situation between the two families.
But Little An was of Huo Family blood, and no matter what transpired between Huo ShaoJie and An Feiran, the child deserved to know who her father was.
An Feiran glanced at Huo Shao Ting: "I couldn't handle this situation at the time. I was completely lost."
"And ShaoJie... he hasn't reached out to me all these years."
Rong Dai noticed the bitterness in her expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Her elder sister had suffered so much in her previous life, and now that she had a second chance, she didn't expect her emotions to still torment her like this.
"But I never intended to hide Little An from him. It's just that I spent these three years trying to come to terms with it."
"If I involved ShaoJie, I wouldn't be able to handle all of this properly."
"Once the matters in France are settled, I'll go to China. There are some things I need to investigate."
"This concerns Rong Dai's survival, so don't worry about ShaoJie and me. Please don't tell him after you return to China for now."
"This is between him and me. I'll handle it myself."
Although An Feiran spoke gently, there was an undeniable forcefulness to her words.
Rong Dai nodded: "Don't worry, sister. But you're not coming back with us?"
An Feiran smiled faintly, glancing at Huo Shao Ting: "I'll go back with Little An. She's only a little over two years old, but she's very smart."
"I don't know how things will turn out between ShaoJie and me, but this is the child's right. I can't deprive her of that."
Rong Dai's emotions were mixed, unsure of what to say since her sister had already said everything she wanted to ask.
"What relation is An Feiya to the An family?"
Huo Shao Ting inquired, looking at Rong Dai.
He had previously asked someone to investigate An Feiya's background, but found very little information.
Now, with what An Feiran had said, he had a vague guess.
Rong Dai frowned. Could it really be such a coincidence that they shared the same surname?
An Feiran smiled and looked at Rong Dai warmly: "An Feiya is technically my aunt-in-law."
"She's the An family's adopted daughter, but later on with my uncle..."
Rong Dai's eyes widened in disbelief. This situation was simply too dramatic!
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be my uncle's daughter, making me your nominal cousin, and my brother your nominal uncle."
An Feiran clarified for the two of them.
"Only those with the Rong bloodline can obtain this opportunity, but it's extremely slim, almost negligible."
"But we never expected it to actually succeed. However, that doesn't mean you'll be safe."
An Feiran told them what she knew.
"My brother has other matters to attend to, so I need to go to China to investigate this."
"Now that Mr. Huo is aware of this, it should make things much easier."
Her words caused both Rong Dai and Huo Shao Ting's expressions to change, as they had always been concerned about this matter, even if unspoken.
Now that An Feiran mentioned it, they felt a mix of joy and worry, but mostly worry.
"Don't worry, as long as nothing goes wrong, there won't be any major issues."
An Feiran could see their concerns and reassured Rong Dai by patting her hand.
Rong Dai nodded. For her, returning to Shangyuan was her destiny.
If so, she would accept it.
Now that her brother and elder sister were still alive, that was already the greatest consolation for her.
Her only regret was Huo Shao Ting, as she could not let him go.
