CHAPTER 363: CHAPTER 221: COULD THEY BE SIBLINGS?

Yang Junyi was lost in thought as he stared at the medical report. His usual gentle complexion was tinged with a shade of worry.

Tian Xin was always straightforward, and she also understood that even though they were married, their work documents were kept confidential from each other.

Even though she saw Yang’s mother’s medical report on the table, she did not look at it, adhering to her professional ethics.

But she said, "Junyi, is something bothering you? Is your mother not well? I see that you seem upset..."

Yang Junyi did not hide it from her, "Tian Xin, I am indeed feeling down, sorry to make you worry..."

"What are you talking about?" Tian Xin placed a hand on his shoulder, "You are my boyfriend, and soon to be my husband, people say that sharing your sorrows halves the sadness, I’m your faithful listener! Is it that your mother’s health isn’t good?"

"No..." Yang Junyi said, "Mom is recovering quite well, it’s just, I have never imagined that one day, I would find out I’m not my mother’s biological son..."

Tian Xin’s complexion changed, "What did you say?"

If Yang Junyi is not his parents’ biological son, then could it be...

This assumption is terrifying!

Even though Tian Xin never watches Korean dramas as she finds the lengthy and intricate plots too tedious, during her school days, when Korean dramas were popular, her classmates would discuss, often in tears, how the most beloved ones turned out to be siblings.

Could it be that she and Yang Junyi are also...

Tian Xin felt weak in the knees at the thought.

Yang Junyi was not aware that the Tian Family had a son who was abducted, thinking Tian Xin was worried about her, he said, "I didn’t mean to make you worry, but no matter who my biological parents are, I will respect and honor my current parents."

This, Tian Xin firmly believed.

Because that’s just the kind of person Yang Junyi is.

"I know..." Tian Xin nodded, "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"

"To be honest, when I found out, it was really hard to accept..." Yang Junyi always thought of himself as an ordinary person and was unprepared for such a turbulent reveal, "I don’t want to upset my mother, I think, for now..."

He was interrupted when suddenly a phone on the desk rang. After answering, Yang Junyi immediately said, "Tian Xin, I have an emergency, Qingchen has left the hospital, and we’re short-staffed..."

"I understand, go ahead!" Tian Xin nodded.

"Drive slowly on your way back!" Yang Junyi rushed out, "I’m really sorry, but I can’t join you for dinner tonight!"

"I’m not the kind of person who frets over the little things, no worries, just go!" Tian Xin also had concerns, and even if they had dinner together, she would not be at ease.

After Yang Junyi went to the emergency room, Tian Xin got ready to leave by car. Because she was preoccupied with the fact that Yang Junyi was not the biological son of the Yang Family, her mind inevitably wandered off.

While driving, she failed to brake in time and hit a luxury car in front of her.

Tian Xin got out of the car, then went forward, knocking on the other driver’s window: "I’m sorry, sir..."

When the car window slid down, the man inside also looked her way, Tian Xin did not expect it to be him, "It’s you?"

"Does it mean you don’t have to compensate because it’s my car?" Tang Baijin got out of the car, looking at Tian Xin, "I seriously doubt the validity of your driver’s license!"

Tian Xin felt embarrassed, today was her fault for hitting someone else’s car, getting teased was inevitable.

"I will compensate," she immediately said seriously, "but my driver’s license is genuinely obtained, I’m no road menace!"

Tang Baijin walked to the back, examined her car, "Your car’s headlight is broken, it can’t be driven like this, I will call my assistant to take it for repairs!"

"Alright!" Tian Xin nodded, "It’s a good thing it was your car today, otherwise I really would be... Anyhow, it was my fault!"

Tang Baijin, noticing the worried look on her face, then said, "Troubles with your boyfriend?"

"How did you know?" Tian Xin looked up at him.

"A woman in a bad mood while driving is usually because of work or relationships, but in the scale of emotions, relationships tend to outweigh work," Tang Baijin stood aside and lit a cigarette, waiting for the assistant to come with the car.

Tian Xin didn’t say a word, but she agreed with what he said.

She hugged herself, suddenly feeling very cold, very cold. Even though it is still deep autumn and the weather in A city isn’t considered cold, she felt an icy chill knowing about Yang Junyi’s background.

Tian Xin stood by the roadside, looking at the distant mountains beyond the railing. Since the temperature in City A wasn’t very low, there was still a hint of green among the forests even in deep autumn.

But mostly, it was the yellow of fallen leaves.

Tang Baijin didn’t ask her what was wrong, but seeing her hugging herself and shivering in the cold wind, he took off his trench coat and draped it over her.

Tian Xin looked at his clothes, which still had the scent of concrete from the construction site—an authentic scent of skyscrapers rising from the ground.

"Thank you..." Tian Xin felt, she had already worn his clothes several times.

Tang Baijin glanced at her, a trace of worry passing through his eyes, "I haven’t thanked you yet for last time when you called a ride to send me home!"

At this moment, Tian Xin stared at him, her eyes black and bright, like a pond of autumn water, "I know, matters of the heart always bring heartache, but, as a friend, I still hope you cherish yourself, cherish life! Never drive again after drinking."

As she said this, sudden sadness surged within her, if she and Yang Junyi had to break up because they are siblings...

Tang Baijin looked at her, her eyes like a lake shimmering in the light, upon closer inspection, finally, tears cascaded down!

Before Tian Xin had been involved in romance, she felt that love always comes and goes, and she couldn’t understand the love between Tang Baijin and Bei Ran that could not be fulfilled.

But at this moment, if two people in love are forced apart due to an absolute factor, then, she could understand how painful it was in Tang Baijin’s heart!

Everything, always requires one’s own personal experience to truly understand that feeling.

"If I and Junyi can no longer be together, I...I..." Tian Xin said, crying, "I..."

She then couldn’t continue!

Tang Baijin remained silent, not speaking. Perhaps everyone has to face a fate where they cannot be together, everyone starts from not accepting, to later numbly accepting...

At this moment, his assistant had already driven the car over, "Young Master Tang..."

Tang Baijin nodded, "Take both cars for repair, and then contact the insurance company."

He took a tissue from the car and handed it to Tian Xin.

Tian Xin took it, covering her face with both hands...

After calming her thoughts for a bit, Tang Baijin took a bottle of water out of the trunk for her: "Have a drink!"

"Can I ask you a question?" Tian Xin took the water, looking at him.

Tang Baijin ruefully raised his eyebrow: "When did you become so delicately hesitant?"

Tian Xin laughed, "I’m worried about hurting you! If you really forget Bei Ran, will you forget her?"

"Can you forget Yang Junyi?" Tang Baijin countered.

Tian Xin’s smile then froze on her face, almost crying again.

Tang Baijin made a stopping gesture, "Alright, no more talk about relationships! Don’t cry anymore, I’m hungry, I need to eat, I haven’t had lunch... do you want to join me?"

"If I tell you something, you probably won’t be able to eat dinner." Tian Xin looked at him, her nose red, eyelashes still bearing tear droplets.

Tang Baijin’s expression changed: "What happened to Bei Ran?"

Not hiding it from him, Tian Xin said, "She was taken away by the old master of the Gu Family, the old master is pressuring Gu Qingchen to return and take over the family business and manage the Gu Group. Why are people from wealthy families so imperious, never considering others’ feelings, forcing others to comply just for their own ideas."

"What about Gu Qingchen?" Tang Baijin hastily asked, "Has he gone to bring Bei Ran back?"

"He has already resigned from the hospital and returned to the Gu Family." Tian Xin said, "Tang Baijin, although I know it’s hard for you to accept, I still want to say, Bei Ran has her own family and life, you should start your own emotional journey!"

Tang Baijin simply closed the car door with one hand, saying coldly and mercilessly, "You can take a taxi back yourself! Remember to compensate for my car fare!"

Tian Xin didn’t mind his attitude, she too was someone who had experienced ups and downs and sorrow in love and couldn’t heed others’ advice.

But now, she mostly wanted to find Bei Ran, hoping she would return safely, and wishing she could decide for herself.

She wondered if after Gu Qingchen returned to Gu Family Villa, whether the old master of the Gu Family would keep his promise to let him and Bei Ran be together.
