LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 76 - The Mystery of His Birth
“Could you please set me down now?” Xu Yangyi rolled his eyes at Hee Jingyan the moment they returned to their residential area and stepped inside.
However, Hee Jingyan didn't take Xu Yangyi's request too seriously; he simply smiled and escorted him to the bathroom. “Remember your desire for a bath? A devoted husband must fulfill his wife's wishes.”
Xu Yangyi, on the other hand, wasn't so trusting. He quickly raised his defenses, fearing that Hee Jingyan might have some mischievous intent. “I can manage on my own; your assistance isn't needed.”
“He's shamelessly trying to seize an opportunity to tease me, isn't he!” Xu Yangyi couldn't help but think along those lines.
“Are you going to put me down, or do you plan to carry me all the way to the bathroom?” Xu Yangyi's brows furrowed dangerously, clearly conveying his suspicion that Hee Jingyan had no intention of letting him go.
Hee Jingyan, fully aware of Xu Yangyi's apprehension, let out a soft chuckle. “Rest assured, my dear. It's daytime now. I promise I won't cross any boundaries.”
It appeared that Xu Yangyi remained cautious, perhaps thinking it was too early for Hee Jingyan to be entirely obedient.
Nevertheless, Hee Jingyan couldn't help but recognize the uniqueness of his wife in this regard. It was clear that she didn't conform to the typical expectations, likely due to her background. He feared that even if Lu Li had questions, he might be rendered speechless.
“Darling, were your origins in Country H right from the start?” Hee Jingyan suddenly inquired, seemingly driven by an inexplicable curiosity.
For a brief moment, Xu Yangyi appeared bewildered as she met Hee Jingyan's gaze. However, she eventually responded, “I don't have that information.”
“You don't know?” Hee Jingyan's eyes narrowed. Would an ordinary person reply in such a manner? Or was there something more to this?
At this juncture, Hee Jingyan couldn't help but recall Loong Shen's report, which mentioned that even the neighbors were clueless about when Xu Yangyi and her family had moved in.
Could there be some sinister secret lurking behind all of this? Regardless, Xu Yangyi was a living, breathing individual.
“Though I'm not sure why you're asking, my knowledge on the subject is rather limited. Even my father has no recollection of his life prior to turning fifteen, and my mother rarely discusses our past. Typically, when I inquire, she simply mentions that we were born and raised in this country,” Xu Yangyi replied nonchalantly, as if discussing a trivial matter.
However, Hee Jingyan, who was attentively listening, abruptly halted in his tracks. A father-in-law who had lost his memories, how could he not be willing to divulge his past with his former mother-in-law? It appears my concerns may have been unjustified. There seemed to be a hidden enigma within the Xu Family, intentionally safeguarded by my mother-in-law. Could there be a connection between the sealing of Xu Nuannuan's records and this mystery?
Suddenly, Xu Yangyi gestured towards his eyes and directed Hee Jingyan's attention there. He exclaimed, “You might have also noticed it! My irises differ from yours.”
“They have a glazed hue,” Hee Jingyan promptly responded upon hearing Xu Yangyi's remark. .com
“Indeed, it's an uncommon glazed hue. My father possesses it, as does Gong Cheng. However, my mother and Xu Nuannuan do not.” As Xu Yangyi spoke, his eyes dimmed abruptly. It seemed as if he had recalled something distressing, perhaps related to his deceased mother.
“I'm uncertain why my irises share the same hue, yet they lack the characteristic eye color of an H citizen. This suggests that I may not originate from this country, and there is undoubtedly a concealed truth my mother deliberately evaded.”
Could this be why the authorities claimed ignorance? It all makes sense now!
The first time I encountered him, I was captivated by his beautiful eyes, thinking it was just due to the wedding attire. Back then, that was my assumption, but his true eye color only adds further complexity to the situation.
