Song Yu Han never viewed the Song Family as his. It was just the family that abducted him and took his mother's life.
However, he was young at that time. His hands couldn't even reach out to destroy them, much less damage Song Yichen's arrogance. Hence, he plotted a plan to lower his guard by acting as if he had been finally enlightened that he could only stand beside his grandfather.
That's right. All along, Song Yu Han knew that his grandfather never truly saw him as his grandson. He probably grew some bit of affection over the years, but at the beginning, his only purpose and goal why he had agreed to his mother's condition was for Song Yu Han to see him as his savior, someone who could save him and protect him.
To Song Yichen, all of his brethren are just pawns. He is the gamemaster while he will decide who will win and stay on the chessboard. His children were his officials, generals, and bishops. Currently, Song Ruan and Cao Huiling are the only ones who are worthy to take the King and Queen ranks in the chessboard.
And precisely because of this, Song Yu Han's worth and status in his game was already established as a dark horse that threatened the position of the King and Queen.
When the game is over and the person is crowned as the victor, they will then become the owner of his throne and the next gamemaster.
Song Yichen's twisted mind had planned all of these and the first person to have learned of this truth is Song Yu Han. Cao Huiling might have stumbled upon it too since she would always target Song Yu Han.
After finding out about all of these, Ran Xueyi could not think of Old Patriarch Song as an ordinary grandfather who loved his family dearly. The gentle smile and kind gestures he showed her in the past...
What part of it is real and which part was just an act?
Surprisingly, it made her feel a little bit irritated that someone who had never done acting before in the entertainment industry could deceive her.
But that irritation was lessened when she looked at her husband.
"It's a good thing that you found out about it quickly. If you hadn't..." Ran Xueyi didn't even want to think about it.
Would she even be able to see the Song Yu Han who stood above hundreds of people? Probably not.
But she was still angry at the Song Family for making him suffer. How could they do that to her handsome husband?!
Song Yu Han was amused when he saw her lips pouting with her eyes narrowed into slits. She was obviously sad about the betrayal she received from both people she had trusted from before., but after hearing his life story, Ran Xueyi seemed to have forgotten about Feng Huai and Zhao Fei.
Soon, a warm feeling filled his heart.
Reaching his hand towards her, he grabbed her, wrapped his arms around her waist before carrying her, and placing her on top of his lap. And before she could react, he placed a hand around the back of her head before pecking on her lips.
The light touch of his lips dispelled all the anger she felt.
"That's cheating," she said accusingly.
"Was I?"
"En! You should do something to make up for it."
Song Yu Han chuckled, "Then, Madame, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to buy you a new car? Ah, but you already bought one just recently. Then, maybe a private plane? Or a cruise ship?"
Ran Xueyi had, indeed, bought a new car with the money he gave to her during the live broadcast. She still didn't use that car and left it to collect dust in their garage.
Ran Xueyi leaned her body against his chest before thinking about it. Then, without hesitation, she told him, "I don't need a private plane, a cruise ship, or even a brand new car. Because I want something that has more significance than material things."
Song Yu Han was now interested to know what she wanted. Usually, Ran Xueyi would refuse or just tell him to save it for Little Zhanzhan's future, but hearing her say these words, it seems that there really was something that she wanted.
"Alright, tell me what it is." He would buy whatever she wanted at whatever price.
But then...
What she wanted was something that had exceeded his imagination.
"I want a bigger house," said Ran Xueyi. "Because I don't think our family will be able to fit in there anymore."
Song Yu Han: "What do you mean?"
The villa she bought was not too big and not too small. It was just perfect for the three of them. So, Song Yu Han couldn't understand why she suddenly said this.
Ran Xueyi had already expected that Song Yu Han was slightly slow to some things so she helped him understand, saying, "I'm ready to grant Song Zhan's wish."
What wish? That child has a lot of wishes that he shared with me. Song Yu Han thought to himself.
Then, he was instantly enlightened.
a�"
"Do you want a little sister?"
His son shook his head and replied, "No, I don't want a little sister."
"But I do want a twin brother and sister."
a�"
That's what Little Zhanzhan said at that time when Song Yu Han asked him if he wanted a little sister.
"You... are you trying to saya�"" Song Yu Han sat upright even with her sitting on top of him.
His chest was beating so fast and it was unknown whether it was because he was feeling nervous or excited.
He didn't want to assume things first. Ran Xueyi didn't even tell him what their son's wish was specifically. It could be that the other wishes he told them about.
He didn't want to be disappointed because he had expected too much.
However, if it was that... He would be extremely happy. Song Yu Han hadn't been beside Ran Xueyi when she was pregnant with Song Zhan. They were forced to separate with each other because of the dangerous circumstances they were in at that time.
And after having Song Zhan, he was unable to stay beside them again. He was afraid that his enemies would use them again to break him. And he knows they would succeed in doing so, taking Ran Xueyi and their son will definitely break him.
That was why he had to leave their side.
And it was also his greatest regret. If he had been a bit stronger that no enemy could force him to leave their side, he would have been able to take care of Ran Xueyi and also watch Song Zhan as he grew up.
Alas, he was only able to see them from afar as he grew his forces and strength.
"Xueyi, tell me that... the wish that Zhanzhan wants... Is it that?" Song Yu Han never stammered in his life, but now, he is learning how to.
Ran Xueyi's lips formed into a sweet and gentle smile as she nodded her head, answering, "I haven't been taking my pills for a while now and will go to a reliable hospital and meet a doctor who can keep this a secret for now. I want to make sure that nothing will go wrong."
They never used anything when they did it but because of the nature of her job, Ran Xueyi took her pills regularly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to announce this to him anymore.
Her last pregnancy almost turned into a disaster. She was involved in a car accident but thankfully, nothing bad happened.
But still, Ran Xueyi didn't want to risk anything.
After hearing this, Song Yu Han was now certain that he didn't think wrongly. It really was this wish.
However, he still couldn't help but frown and ask her, "Are you sure about this? You... you're not saying this because of what I told you just now?"
He was afraid and worried that Ran Xueyi only did this because he told her his experiences. He didn't want her to think like this nor did he want her to force herself for his sake. He did not wish for her to give up her dreams for him.
Ran Xueyi was patient towards him and nodded again. "I've thought about it carefully. So,you have to work harder so we can give Zhanzhan a twin sister and brother."
Song Yu Han pulled her into his embrace, hugging her so tightly that she was slightly out of breath. She wanted to say something more, but held back when she noticed that his shoulders were shaking.
This...
Is he crying?
Ran Xueyi was shocked. She wasn't sure so she turned her head slightly to see his face, but rather than seeing, she felt her right cheek slightly wet.
Song Yu Han really cried.
"Thank you and I love you. You and Zhanzhan and our babies in the future."
Once again, Ran Xueyi felt aggrieved. She knew what he truly felt now. Song Yu Han kept a lot to himself and never told her anything unless she took the initiative to ask. However, she never took the initiative so it became a tacit understanding between them to not ask each other of their secrets unless the person speaks.
But Song Yu Han kept a lot more than she had first thought. He hid a lot of pain, frustrations, and hatred.
He lost all hope in the first several years of his life. It was only when Ran Xueyi became a part of his life did he finally found what it means to really live without faking and deceiving anyone.
