TFWYH – Chapter 773 Father and Daughter Conversation

Upon seeing the two of them, Tang Wan quickly glanced at Ling Shang before walking over to Murong Hong.

“Father, next time you’re going somewhere, at least let me know. I’ve been having people search for you these past few days.”

Leaving without a word—were they trying to scare her to death?

Murong Hong guiltily rubbed his nose and chuckled.

“How was I supposed to know things would turn out like this?”

“What exactly happened? If someone was taking you back, why didn’t they even allow you to leave a message? That doesn’t make any sense.”

Faced with his daughter’s questioning, Murong Hong sighed and finally told her about Tang Fenghua.

It was nothing more than the usual bloody drama of sisters killing each other over the throne, with even the Ling Clan becoming entangled in it.

“But everything is fine now. The Second Princess has already been executed, and Feng Country no longer poses any threat to you. Her Majesty is advanced in years and simply lacks the strength to continue. Wan-niang, as the daughter of the Crown Princess, you are the rightful heir to Feng Country. You must remember your identity,” Murong Hong patiently advised.

Tang Wan immediately caught the important point.

“What exactly is the Ling Clan?”

“Uh…” Murong Hong looked awkwardly toward Ling Shang.

Ling Shang waved his hand.

“General Murong, please take the young prince outside. I’ll explain it to Wan-niang myself.”

“Yes.”

Murong Hong respectfully nodded, gave Tang Wan a meaningful look, and then left with Tang Tianyang.

Soon, only Ling Shang and Tang Wan remained in the private room.

“Sit,” Ling Shang said.

He lifted the lid of the small red-clay kettle that was already boiling, took out several kinds of tea leaves, and casually asked,

“Top-quality Longjing, Tieguanyin, or Da Hong Pao—which would you like?”

Tang Wan frowned slightly and looked at him thoughtfully.

The Doctor used to entertain guests in exactly the same way.

It was always Longjing, Tieguanyin, or Da Hong Pao. He disliked other teas and never kept them at home.

When Ling Shang received no answer, he did not ask again. Instead, he calmly placed some Tieguanyin into the red-clay kettle.

“Then Tieguanyin it is. Good for preventing cavities and reducing blood lipids.”

Tang Wan did not object. She obediently sat opposite him and asked the same question once more.

Only this time, the person she was asking was not Ling Yu, but another man.

“Can you recite the United Nations Citizen Code?”

A faint smile appeared on Ling Shang’s lips as he finally raised his eyes to meet hers.

A trace of gentleness lingered within those deep, unfathomable eyes.

“Do you want me to know it or not?”

Tang Wan answered earnestly,

“Of course I hope you do, because I don’t want the friend I once depended on for survival to disappear.”

“Depended on each other for survival…”

Ling Shang slowly repeated those four words before letting out a soft laugh.

“Back then, that expression wasn’t quite appropriate, since you had no life of your own. Now you do. But the person you depend on is no longer me, is it?

“0527…”

Tang Wan stared at him in shock.

“Doctor… it’s really you?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Ling Shang admitted it openly.

Tang Wan was overjoyed.

“It’s wonderful that you’re still alive!”

Ling Shang smiled.

“Wonderful? I don’t think it’s wonderful for you. After all, I’ve come to take you away.

“0527… no, Wan-niang, you must return to Feng Country with me. Do you understand?”

Tang Wan immediately shook her head.

“I’m not going back. I’m married now. I have a husband, and I want to stay with him.”

The smile on Ling Shang’s face gradually vanished.

After a moment of silence, he asked,

“Do you love him very much?”

Tang Wan nodded obediently.

“In the past, I didn’t know what love was. Now I do.

“I love him very much, and I will never leave him.”
