"So now, will you tell me?" Zhan asked in tears, wanting to know everything about Yibo.

"Why are you asking him, Dad? Let him go. Let him go and do what he wants to do. He doesn't deserve you, Dad. Let him go. For me, Dad, I beg you. Let him go for your son, even though I'm not your bloody son."

"Here... oh, yeah. If you want to know more, then listen with your ears open," Taehyun said.

Zhan just stared at his son after hearing those words.

Now he had two options.

Either he chose his son...

Or his love.

Zhan had never thought this day would come so quickly.

Yibo suddenly felt his eyes filling with tears.

His own son had asked Zhan to choose between him and his son.

Yibo already knew that Zhan would choose Taehyun over him.

And honestly, he was happy that Zhan would choose his son.

But at the same time, Yibo looked down at his daughter, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.

He couldn't stop thinking.

What if he told Zhan that his daughter was still alive?

How would Zhan react?

Would he try to take her away from him?

Would he want to know everything?

Would he hate Yibo even more after finding out that the daughter he believed had died two years ago was actually alive and sleeping safely in his arms?

The possibility of Yibo telling Zhan that his child was still alive suddenly felt very low.

Especially after his son had asked Zhan that question.

Yibo simply looked at Zhan while Taehyun continued speaking.

"After you left, Dad was admitted to the hospital.

"Even when he was in the hospital, he never stopped looking for you.

"Even now, he kept looking for you, and he finally found you.

"He used to tell me how beautiful you are, what you liked, your favourite places, what you liked to wear, that you loved your job, and other random activities you really liked.

"He knew everything about you, even though he knew how much I hated you.

"Yes, I know I don't know the whole story.

"But if my dad did something that might have been worse because of something someone did to him, then he would never hurt anyone otherwise.

"I know my dad. He would never hurt anyone if no one had hurt him so badly that he did whatever he did."

Yibo couldn't believe what he was hearing.

He still remembered Shan.

And when Yibo looked at Zhan, he saw him smiling at his son, clearly proud of Taehyun.

That made Yibo's heart soften.

But at the same time, it hurt.

Because Taehyun didn't call him Dad.

He simply called him him.

Taehyun continued.

"You knew that I asked for a younger sibling from you and my mom, Shan.
