My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1429 Reunion at 373

"You... you..."

Even wanting to say a word in front of him felt like an overwhelming pressure.

"Do you have some time? I have a few words I’d like to say to you." Just like in the past, An Bingfeng spoke straightforwardly and directly.

"Okay." Yan Shi’s voice still carried a slight tremor.

Shili Village isn’t surrounded by mountains on all sides, but there are hills in the front and back.

This also provides them a very private place to talk.

On the hill, just like after he proposed back then, he had also brought her to the hill in front of the village to ask her, would it be fine to build the house here?

Only back then, it was filled with happiness, but now, it felt so pale and powerless.

"We haven’t seen each other for years, don’t you have anything you want to ask me?"

Today’s Yan Shi was not as youthful as back then.

But he never had romantic feelings for her.

So, no matter what she was like, she always looked the same in his eyes.

Yan Shi was like a puppet on strings, waiting for him to speak before she dared to ask.

"Why... why did you leave?" Or rather, knowing in the end you’d leave, why did you marry her in the first place?

An Bingfeng spoke very frankly, "I believe you should have guessed, what I wanted was not a wife, just a son."

Hearing this, Yan Shi suddenly found herself ridiculously foolish, even her tears fell uncontrollably, "So, is this your reason for abandoning An Ning?"

She could understand him not wanting her.

Men could have many wives and concubines, wealthy and powerful men were never short of women. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But An Ning was his own flesh and blood, how could he abandon her just because she wasn’t a boy?

An Bingfeng was silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke, "I have my reasons."

"What kind of reason could make you give up on your own flesh and blood?" Yan Shi sniffed, and at this moment, she couldn’t hold it back anymore and cried her heart out, "Do you know how much suffering this child endured just because she had no father..."

All those past hardships seemed clear as day, and every time she recalled them, it hurt unbearably.

An Ning never liked going out since she was young, because aside from the Chenghuan siblings, no one wanted to play with her, they would even scold her...

The disdain from outsiders and the neglect from her biological father made their lives as mother and daughter feel like living in a crevice, facing extreme hardships every day.

But just thinking, maybe if she persisted a bit longer, he might return, and then all the suffering would be over, and the family would eventually reunite, Yan Shi had been holding onto this thought all these years.

Until the year An Ning fell ill, that was the last straw that broke her heart.

The doctor said that without money for medicine, she could only wait for death, but if the child died, what was the point of living on her own?

Even when she decided to remarry, she couldn’t bring herself to sell their last house.

Because she feared that one day if he returned with a son, they wouldn’t find their home.

"Taking her away might not be better than leaving her here."

No one doesn’t want to enjoy the joy of family unity, but some people... are naturally despised by fate, unworthy of having these.

After Yan Shi cried enough, An Bingfeng approached her and handed her something he had long prepared, "I thought about taking her to the capital city, but she wasn’t willing, so that’s that. This is what I’ve prepared for her: some shops in the town and county, some land deeds, and Silver Coin. An Ning doesn’t quite like me as a father, so you can pass these to her."
