Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "Of course not, she cannot compare to Feng Wuyou."

Shen Chuwei: "..." She wasn’t allowed to finish what she had to say, even though it was the truth~

"I come from the modern era, do you think I could possibly be Feng Wuyou?"

Xiao Jinyan fell silent.

Shen Chuwei stared unwaveringly at Xiao Jinyan and asked again, "Between Feng Wuyou and me, whom would you choose?"

Xiao Jinyan fell silent again, never having thought that he would face such a choice.

In the unfamiliar land of Nanzhao Country, although he was eight years old and wiser than his peers, he was still a child after all.

In the Imperial Palace, it was more than normal for hostages to be bullied, and when he first arrived, it was particularly tough. No matter if he dimmed his brilliance or ignored them, they always found various reasons to pick on him.

It was Xiao Jiu who protected him, helped him, and always used her soft and glutinous voice to stop their unreasonable fuss.

She would also use that soft, glutinous voice to call him Brother Jinyan.

Although Xiao Jiu was young, she was very intelligent, and as the daughter of the National Master, even princes and princesses respected her somewhat.

In the alien Nanzhao Country, it was Xiao Jiu who accompanied him year after year, making him feel less lonely in a strange nation.

When leaving Nanzhao Country, he promised Xiao Jiu he would come to find her.

But Xiao Jiu had an accident when she came to see him off.

Just thinking of that scene still causes him unbearable pain in his chest, like suffocation.

Lately, he had been dreaming continuously, dreaming of that moment when he left Nanzhao Country and Xiao Jiu had her accident.

Each time was clearer than the last, each time it pierced his heart with more pain.

The heart-wrenching pain made him realize how very, very important Xiao Jiu was to him.

This Xiao Jiu before him had the same personality as Xiao Jiu, the same likes, and even the way she spoke was very similar.

She possessed the same abilities.

Could there really be two people so alike in this world?

They had over four years of emotional bonding, having spent close to five years together. They also had a pair of intelligent and adorable children.

He naturally would not let go.

Shen Chuwei looked at the man before her, showing such a pained expression for the first time.

"What would you do if the real Feng Wuyou appeared?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her, with eyebrows and eyes reminiscent of Xiao Jiu’s, that serious expression as if Xiao Jiu herself was speaking to him.

"You really resemble her, and you give me the feeling of being the same person. Xiao Jiu once asked me, if we both grew up and met again, would I be able to recognize her at a glance. I answered very affirmatively that I would recognize her."

Shen Chuwei replied with some helplessness, "But I am not her, am I?"

Xiao Jinyan was still not convinced, "The National Master also believes you are her. Others may not believe, but the National Master can be trusted."

Shen Chuwei stared at Xiao Jinyan for a long while, already having her answer from his hesitation.

Feng Wuyou was very, very important to him, impossible to give up.

She, as his wife, was also very, very important, impossible to give up.

If the real Feng Wuyou were to appear, she thought, perhaps Xiao Jinyan would rush towards her without any hesitation, perhaps embrace Feng Wuyou just as he had embraced her a moment ago.

Perhaps, he would suppress his feelings for Feng Wuyou out of a sense of duty, feelings that were naive, a young boy’s first palpitation.

Ultimately, Xiao Jinyan had a place in his heart belonging to Feng Wuyou.

Shen Chuwei sighed somewhat, realizing that no matter how many storybooks she had read, the plots in them were simply happening to her now.

It was because she had experienced it, that upon reflecting on the sentences in those storybooks, she could truly empathize.

Her disappointment lay in the fact that Xiao Jinyan hadn’t definitively chosen her.

Seeing her silent, Xiao Jinyan grew anxious, "Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyan, "I want to return to Daxia. Taotao and Susu haven’t seen me for such a long time that they’re almost about to forget their mother."

Xiao Jinyan realized how time had flown; it had been so long since they had come out here, so it was no wonder she missed Taotao and Susu.

If she wasn’t Xiao Jiu, where could Xiao Jiu have gone? Missing for so long, who would want to harm Xiao Jiu?

"After dealing with the matters here, we will return to Daxia."

Shen Chuwei nodded, "Mm."

After finishing their lunch, Xiao Jinyan needed to rest because he had just recovered his memory.

Shen Chuwei sat on the arched bridge, watching the fish in the water swimming happily. She took a bite of Mung Bean Cake and tossed a little piece into the water with her other hand.

The fish swam towards it with their beautiful tails waving and gobbled up the tiny pieces of Mung Bean Cake.

Jun Moqing came out of the Main Hall and saw Xiao Jiu sitting on the arched bridge, usually she would go to sleep after lunch.

He walked over.

"What’s the matter?"

Shen Chuwei saw a pair of snow-white boots appear before her and, raising her head, she saw the National Master standing in front of her. She stood up and patted the dust off the seat of her pants.

"Dad, I was feeding the fish."

Jun Moqing could see at a glance that his daughter was unhappy.

"Xiao Jinyan has regained his memory, aren’t you happy?"

Shen Chuwei smiled and said, "Of course I’m happy."

Jun Moqing ruffled her hair, "Then why do you look so dejected? Did he bully you?"

Shen Chuwei shook her head, "He wouldn’t bully me."

Jun Moqing said, "I didn’t think he’d dare."

Shen Chuwei couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re so formidable that he’s afraid of you."

Jun Moqing looked at his daughter laughing so carefree, her laughter was so beautiful, just like hers, extremely attractive.

"Whoever dares to bully my daughter, I certainly won’t let them off."

Shen Chuwei gazed at the National Master for a good while. This face so exceedingly beautiful and otherworldly, one could never tire of looking at it.

Xiao Jinyan always said how formidable the National Master was, that he wouldn’t mistake his own daughter.

Could it be more accurate than DNA testing?

She was skeptical.

"How can you be so certain that I am your daughter? What if I am not?"

Jun Moqing took her hand and sat down on the arched bridge, Shen Chuwei obediently sitting down with him.
