Chapter 2693: A Pair of Fake Adoptive Parents?

He probably hired these ‘parents’ of his.

Ning Shu clucked her tongue. Cheng Fei really knew how to scheme, didn’t he?

Cheng Fei must really have the fate of the Tiansha-lone star. Very early in his life, his biological parents abandoned him. Then, after he got adopted, his adoptive parents died.

Even after she finished browsing through the information, Ning Shu still didn’t find the orphanage in which Cheng Fei stayed.

It was because Cheng Fei’s information started when he was twelve. The information about his life before that was all still abroad.

His record before his return was practically a blank slate.

Ning Shu exited the database and cleared the evidence of her intrusion.

The database belonged to the government, after all, so she mustn’t get caught.

Then again, whether she checked the database or not didn’t make a difference. She had found nothing of value from it.

At best, she found out that Cheng Fei lied about his adoptive parents.

They were obviously dead, but he still had his ‘parents’ appear at his wedding.

Why did Cheng Fei lie? Was it because he didn’t want Ai Yun to know that his adoptive parents were dead?

That would mean that Cheng Fei didn’t want anyone to know about his past abroad.

Something must have happened there.

Ning Shu pulled her hair. Mother t*ucker!

Why was this so complicated?

Why was it so difficult to catch Cheng Fei’s tail?

She was in a society with law and order, so Ning Shu couldn’t just kill him off. If she did, Ai Yun would find herself rotting in a prison when she came back.

It would sure be so satisfyingly painful.

She’d feel like she had a dream, then she’d wake up in a prison, screaming about how she was wronged.

Ning Shu was racking her brains, trying to think of a solution, when the phone rang. Cheng Fei was calling her.

Ning Shu stared at the phone. Should she answer it? Should she not?

Ning Shu finally decided to answer it. She asked, “What is it?”

“Ai Yun, you haven’t visited me for a long time. I miss you.” Cheng Fei’s voice over the phone was magnetic. He sounded indescribably charming.

It felt like music to her ears.

Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the bed and replied, “Something came up at home. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine. I’ve been discharged from the hospital, but you didn’t even come to pick me up after I was discharged.” Cheng Fei sounded aggrieved.

Luckily for her, they were only talking on the phone. If they were talking face-to-face instead, Ning Shu would be facing a pair of poor puppy eyes—he’d make an aggrieved and pitiful look that could melt someone’s heart…

Ning Shu resolutely cut off her line of thoughts. If she continued to think this way, Ning Shu felt that the scarce maternal instinct she still had would be reinvigorated.

A man who could act like a big, overgrown baby had the best luck with women.

“Cheng Fei, I tried to think about your past and drew a blank. I’ve realized that… I know nothing about you,” Ning Shu said. “Can you tell me about your childhood?”

“What do you want to know?” Cheng Fei said without changing his tone. “I’m an orphan. When I was five, a Chinese-American couple adopted me. They supported me until I graduated from college.”

“Then, what about the orphanage that you stayed in before you were adopted? Do you still go back there often? I’ll accompany you there if you want to go there one day. Maybe we can find your biological parents.”

Cheng Fei fell quiet for a moment, then he said, “I don’t want to find my biological parents. They discarded me before I could remember anything; that shows that my existence will only distress them. If I try my best to find them, it’ll only make things awkward for all of us.

“It’s best for us not to disturb each others’ lives.

“The orphanage I used to stay in closed down more than ten years ago because of the lack of donations. Developers have turned it into community villas.”

Ning Shu: My heart…

“Ai Yun, are you coming back to our home? I’m still waiting for you here,” Cheng Fei asked. “Whether we’re getting a divorce or not, I still hope I’ll get to see you again.

“Just seeing you makes me happy.”

Ning Shu covered her ears. She couldn’t listen to him anymore.
