The man stood with his back against the light. He was wearing a white shirt. It seemed like he was a tall man and his height might be a little over a hundred and eighty centimeters. The light from the room fell on his shoulders, giving him a gentle glow.

Tang Li could not see his face clearly. But, she could tell that he was not one of them.

She had never seen him in the Li family in her former life.

She could also feel that he was a prestigious man. 

Li Wenyan was a member of the parliament. He was also considered an influential man. But, his aura was nothing like the man in front of her.

All of a sudden…

Tang Li froze there. She was in a difficult position now.

She never knew that there was someone else in the room. He was just standing at the balcony. She thought that there would be no one else in the villa.

It was late now. It was also Old Lady Li’s 65th birthday party.

Aunt Wu had also gone to help around in the garden after sending the dress to her.

It was the beginning of October. There was a city of lights behind her. But, her slim body seemed rather pathetic under the glare of the light.

Tang Li saw the inside of the room clearly from the half-opened sliding door at the balcony.

It was Li Wenyan’s study.

Tang Li’s doubt was soon cleared. Li Wenyan’s voice was heard from within the room. “The parliament holds different kinds of opinions regarding the proposal of the health reform law…”

She was also his daughter. But, he did not love her.

Her mother had put the word ‘Li’ in her name because she had missed Li Wenyan so much. 

However, all of her hope and eagerness was ruined the minute she saw Li Wenyan for the first time. Her mother had passed away two years ago. She had brought along her mother’s bone ashes and rode on the train for two days to get to the capital. In the end, she was left with indescribable loneliness and helplessness.

Her mother had left her an address before she passed away. But, her mother left out the fact that her father had another family in the capital. He even had an elegant wife with two beautiful daughters.

Tang Li remembered Li Wenyan’s facial expression clearly when she first met him. He did not want her at all.

Back then, Li Shengxia was twenty-two years old while Li Yuan’er was sixteen years old.

She had just turned seventeen years old.

Tang Li lived with her mother at the border of Nation S, Myanmar, and Vietnam. They had led a simple life there for more than ten years. So, she knew how to observe people’s emotions. She knew perfectly well that her identity was a problem just by how Li Wenyan and Old Lady Li treated her.

In her former life, she had married Han Jifeng. After several years, she had accompanied Han Jifeng to attend a dinner party and she had met an influential elder there. That elder knew her mother. They were old friends. 

Only then she knew that her mother, Tang Yin, was not a homewrecker. She did not ruin another family’s peace. Li Wenyan was on a spy mission twenty years ago at the border of the country. He had taken advantage of the lady, Tang Yin, who had a crush on him back then. He had used some tricks to make his way into the enemy’s site. The two of them had fallen in love and they were about to get married. 

When he completed his mission, Tang Yin’s father passed away. Tang Yin went missing too.

After a while, Li Wenyan was transferred back to the capital.

But, Tang Yin had found out that she was pregnant then.

Li Wenyan never told her the truth in her former life. It was a total of nine years.

“If they do want to reform the health law, the expenses of the financial department will surely increase every year.”

Li Wenyan’s voice was getting closer now.

He was walking toward the balcony.

Tang Li thought that she would surely be found now. But, the man in front of her turned around quickly and pulled the curtain tight. 

Then, he went into the room.

Tang Li was still scared. She still remembered how the man looked at her before he left her. He seemed so gentle and it was as if he was looking at a naughty cat. There was a soft smile on his handsome face too.
