Chapter 396 - His Confession (4) (1/2)
”I... I want to acknowledge your sister and I hope that you will too...” Rong Qiu hesitantly said, finally admitting the real reason why he wanted to tell them the truth. He couldn't very well abandon Yao Ling and didn't give her any status, right?
Rong Heng furrowed his eyebrows. It wasn't that he didn't want to have a new sister, but he felt a bit uncomfortable to have a stranger as his sister. He didn't know who thas Yao Ling was and what kind of identity that she had. Didn't his father say that she wasn't from around here just now?
”Where is she coming from?” Rong Heng asked.
”The Shu Kingdom...” Rong Qiu answered.
”Are you sure that she's not lying to you?” Rong Heng quietly asked the most important question. He was afraid that his father was being swindled by that trio...
”No... she's not. I'm still able to judge clearly about it. Don't worry!” Rong Qiu said with clear eyes.
Rong Heng could only sigh when he heard that. There was a bit jealousy in his heart because Rong Qiu cared about another person so much. He started to realize that he was quite petty when the matter was related to his 'father'. He was already this big and yet, he still craved for his father's love. Somehow, he felt a bit ashamed of his own selfishness but couldn't help but keep doing that.
Rong Qiu was an important person to him and would always be his father! He shook his petty thought away and focused on the matter at hand...
”Which identity that you want to use to acknowledge her with? As my father or as a Bei Yue person?” Rong Heng asked curiously because those two identities would lead to a different result. He didn't really understand what his father actually wanted to do.
”This...” Rong Qiu hadn't thought that far yet because he was too concerned about Rong Heng's reactions. He just wanted both of them to acknowledge each other and he didn't even think about his own identity. For Buddha's sake! This was so confusing ah~!
He was thinking about his identity's matter seriously. They already knew that he wasn't the real Rong Qiu, so how could he possibly continue pretending to become one? Wouldn't it make him look like he was so shameless?! He didn't really have a thick face to continue the facade ah~!
”But I... How can I continue taking your father's place when both of you already know the truth?” Rong Qiu asked helplessly. He already had a plan if he couldn't use Uncle Qiu's identity anymore... He might as well make a new identity if he needed to use his Bei Yue identity. The Bei Yue people were being hunted for their power, so there would be no peace if he became his real self once more.
It would also make people pay more attention to Yao Ling --- after all, she was the descendant of Aunt Yue. A smart person would know that Yao Ling would certainly inherit Aunt Yue's power sooner or later and it would make her become a target.
Wu Cheng also looked at Rong Heng, waiting for his answer. Even though he already accepted Rong Qiu's explanation, he didn't know what kind of thoughts that Rong Heng had. In the end, he would follow along with the decision that Rong Heng would make. No matter what, he would stand by Rong Heng's side.
Rong Heng frowned, contemplating. He could see the hesitancy in Rong Qiu's eyes, thus, he sighed inwardly. ”Father... You will always be my father. My real father had given you permission to take his place so I don't see something is wrong with it if you want to continue using my real father's identity,” he honestly said.
”Besides, if you suddenly go missing out of nowhere when you are this healthy, what do you think people will talk about? Especially the Han Emperor...” Rong Heng added.
