"God! What... what is going on?!"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Dongfang Bai looked down. When he saw the two drops of blood on the teacup slowly merging together, his handsome face immediately froze, and his eyes widened in shock.
"This..."
As he watched the two drops of blood gradually blend into one, Dongfang Bai slowly lifted his face, which was filled with astonishment, and met Le Yao Yao's equally incredulous and speechless expression.
Their gazes locked, both filled with deep shock!
"Oh my God! Brother Bai, could it be that I... I..."
Something had already begun to surface, but Le Yao Yao still couldn't bring herself to imagine it.
Dongfang Bai had been searching for his sister for years, and she turned out to be the woman he loved!? This was impossible!
But why were the blood drops merging together!?
Compared to Le Yao Yao's disbelief and shock, Dongfang Bai's excitement and astonishment were no less intense.
"How is this possible!? It can't be!?"
Dongfang Bai murmured in disbelief, feeling flustered and at a loss at that moment.
Oh my God!
Was this a joke from heaven!?
The sister he had searched for all these years turned out to be the woman he cherished!?
"No, no!"
But if Le Yao Yao really is his sister, sharing the same age, two drops of blood merging together...
The truth was right in front of him...
"No..."
Dongfang Bai was overwhelmed with emotion, unable to accept this reality. He suddenly stood up from his chair.
At that moment, a gentle female voice broke the tense atmosphere between them.
"Lulu, White Divine Doctor, you are both here..."
Hearing that familiar voice, Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai turned to look in its direction.
There stood the Queen, slowly approaching with a group of palace maids surrounding her.
Although five years had passed, time had been very kind to this woman. It had left no marks on her face; instead, as time moved on, she exuded a mature femininity.
Graceful and stunning, she possessed an extraordinary charm, embodying the dignity of motherhood and exuding an air of nobility.
No wonder she had captured the exclusive affection of a sovereign.
Upon seeing her beautiful Empress Mother, Le Yao Yao was momentarily stunned. Then, as if recalling something, she hurried towards the Queen.
"Empress Mother, just in time! There’s something I need to ask you. If you know anything about it, please tell me the truth!"
"What on earth is going on?! You seem so anxious."
Seeing Le Yao Yao's anxious expression, the Queen was at a loss.
Her well-maintained face glanced at the worried Le Yao Yao and then fell on the equally troubled Dongfang Bai. The Queen furrowed her brows, then extended her delicate hand to dismiss all the Palace Maids. With Le Yao Yao's assistance, she sat down inside the Pavilion.
"Alright, now there are only the three of us here. Lulu, feel free to ask Empress Mother anything."
"Thank you, Empress Mother."
Le Yao Yao expressed her gratitude to the Queen before voicing her and Dongfang Bai's concerns.
"Empress Mother, when I went to Great Xia, I accidentally lost my memory. You said my father is the National Protector General, but just now, Brother Bai and I were able to blend our blood together. So we are certain that we are connected by blood. Please, Empress Mother, tell me honestly—am I really my father's biological child?!"
"What!? This..."
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, the Queen's elegant face immediately changed. However, facing the determined expressions of Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai, as well as the bloodstains on the table, she finally sighed lightly and said,
"Could it be that fate has arranged this? Or do you truly have a bond?"
After pausing for a moment, the Queen continued,
"Yes, Lulu, you are not actually your father's biological child; he found you one day on the road. However, his affection for you is genuine. After he passed away, the Emperor specifically brought you back to the palace for me to see. When I first laid eyes on you, I found you particularly charming and felt a connection with you, so I decided to keep you by my side. At that time, I didn't tell you these things because I was afraid it would upset you. Lulu, have you ever held it against Empress Mother?"
Although she had mentally prepared herself for this revelation, hearing it directly from the Queen still left Le Yao Yao in shock.
However, she quickly regained her composure and turned to look at Dongfang Bai before glancing back at the Queen. She then spoke in disbelief,
"So you're saying that I really am your... sister!?"
Le Yao Yao murmured in astonishment. Then, with a face full of disbelief, a smile broke out at the corners of her mouth as she exclaimed joyfully.
"Wow, this is amazing! Hehe, so you really are my brother! That's wonderful! No wonder when I first saw you, I felt such a familiarity; it turns out this is what blood relation feels like! Hehe, brother, you are my brother..."
In contrast to Le Yao Yao's beaming smile and excited exclamations, Dongfang Bai seemed struck by lightning, momentarily unable to accept this reality. His handsome face wore a dazed expression, staring blankly.
It wasn't until Le Yao Yao, who had been exclaiming in joy, sensed something was off that she stopped smiling and turned to Dongfang Bai, softly asking, "Brother, what's wrong? Are you not happy that I'm your sister?!"
"Uh, no, no! It's not that! I'm... I'm very happy! Haha, I'm really so happy!"
Dongfang Bai was momentarily stunned but then broke into a wide grin and began to laugh heartily.
His laughter was exuberant, ringing out like the sound of gold and stone clashing. He laughed so freely that tears even streamed down his face.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
She had never seen the usually gentle and refined Dongfang Bai laugh so openly. It seemed he was genuinely happy!
Having a brother felt truly wonderful!
Le Yao Yao's mood soared with joy.
However, she failed to notice the fleeting shadow of sorrow that flickered in Dongfang Bai's eyes as he laughed heartily...
Fate... always loves to play tricks on people!
The woman he had always cherished and silently protected turned out to be his... sister...
Dongfang Bai felt a bitter pang in his heart as tears shimmered in the corners of his eyes.
Beside Le Yao Yao, it seemed he was overwhelmed with emotion. However, sitting across from them, the Queen's eyes sparkled with understanding.
After all, the Queen had been through similar experiences. In the past, upon learning that Le Yao Yao had vowed to remain loyal to Leng Junyu, she had continuously tried to persuade her, even introducing several promising young men to her.
But when she saw Dongfang Bai and the way he looked at Le Yao Yao, the Queen realized that this man deeply loved her daughter.
Moreover, with Dongfang Bai being young and accomplished, skilled in medicine and handsome, it was only natural for the Queen to take a liking to him.
She also preferred to see Le Yao Yao paired with Dongfang Bai rather than remaining single and lonely for life.
Initially, she thought Dongfang Bai would end up with Le Yao Yao, but unexpectedly, fate had other plans—they would become... siblings!?
At that moment, seeing Dongfang Bai's tearful smile, the Queen gently patted his hand in a comforting manner and spoke meaningfully.
"Perhaps this is just heaven's arrangement..."
"Yes."
Dongfang Bai could only respond with silence to the Queen's words.
Indeed, perhaps this was heaven's arrangement.
He once believed that if he quietly devoted himself and patiently waited, he would eventually find the one he loved. Now he realized that in this lifetime, he might never meet the person he truly loved.
So be it.
Even so, he was still willing to stay by the side of the one he cherished. Even if they could not be lovers and had to be siblings instead, what did it matter!?
Coming to terms with this thought made Dongfang Bai feel somewhat better inside; however, the bitterness in his heart might only fade away with time...
Le Yao Yao's connection to Dongfang Bai had been confirmed through blood tests and the mark on her body. This mark was the red mole on her backside.
Although she felt a bit embarrassed, after checking her own backside and confirming the presence of the red mole, Le Yao Yao blushed and affirmed it to Dongfang Bai.
Memories flooded her mind of five years ago when Leng Junyu had mentioned her red mole. At that time, he had been puzzled, remarking how familiar it seemed, as if someone else had a similar mole. Just thinking about his curious expression brought a sense of nostalgia to Le Yao Yao.
Now, everything had changed. She had lost the man she loved most, but gained an older brother.
Once Dongfang Bai confirmed her identity, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to First Villa with great urgency.
After all, Dongfang Bai's parents were still alive and had never given up on finding their daughter.
Now, after twenty-one years, fate had finally smiled upon them; they could reunite as a family.
Thus, Dongfang Bai suggested taking Le Yao Yao and Leng Yixuan back to acknowledge their roots.
Le Yao Yao had no objections to this proposal.
She felt that returning to her roots was only natural. After all, others had spent twenty-one years searching for their daughter, and now that she had finally been found, it was only right for her to visit those elderly relatives.
Moreover, she had spent the last five years in the Great Xia Imperial Palace. Although the palace was magnificent and everyone there, especially Queen, treated her well, sometimes their excessive concern made her feel suffocated.
She understood that they cared for her and feared she would be heartbroken over losing Leng Junyu.
However, she was no longer a child.
Perhaps going out for a walk would lighten her mood a bit.
After thinking this, Le Yao Yao discussed it with the Emperor, and he agreed.
Later, when Tong Yaar learned about this, she insisted on joining them. However, Tong Yaar was three months pregnant with her second child, and Nangong Junxi was extremely anxious. Especially in these past few months, the pregnancy had not been very stable. No matter how much Tong Yaar pouted and acted spoiled, Nangong Junxi remained firm and would not allow her to go.
In the end, Tong Yaar had no choice but to stay in the palace, held back by this man who cherished her above all else.
Le Yao Yao teased about the situation for quite a while.
What she did not know was that a man as indulgent as Nangong Junxi could be so devoted when he fell in love with a woman, making others envious.
Tong Yaar was aware of Nangong Junxi's past feelings for her.
Once, she had asked Le Yao Yao if she ever regretted her choice.
If she had chosen Nangong Junxi back then, perhaps her ending would have been very different, and her life would have been filled with happiness.
Upon hearing Tong Yaar's words, Le Yao Yao shook her head and simply replied.
If given another chance, her decision would remain unchanged.
Her love for Yu was a fact that would never change throughout her life.
Tong Yaar felt moved by Le Yao Yao's answer but also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, as women, they all had some reservations about their husbands' past affections for other women.
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words now naturally eased Tong Yaar's heart.
At this moment, Le Yao Yao had prepared her belongings early to return to First Villa with Dongfang Bai. With her son in tow, they set off towards First Villa in grand fashion.
The journey from Great Xia Imperial Palace to Heavenly Origin's First Villa would take half a month, moving at a slow pace.
Every day, Le Yao Yao sat in the carriage, watching the flowers and grasses along the road. The scenery was poetic, with rolling mountains and clear waters, making the journey feel far from dull.
If she ever felt bored, the presence of Leng Yixuan, the adorable Little One, always brought laughter with his innocent chatter.
Perhaps she could also look at the few martial arts manuals left by Tianshan Daoist.
Now one hundred and ten years old, Tianshan Daoist remained vigorous and was never idle.
After teaching Le Yao Yao martial arts, he set off once again on his journey around the world.
Seeing Tianshan Daoist so carefree made Le Yao Yao envious.
When would she be able to let go of everything and wander the world so freely?
However, she knew that there were too many things in her life that she could not let go of...
Half a month passed—neither long nor short—and soon Le Yao Yao and her companions returned to Heavenly Origin.
As they stepped onto this familiar yet strange land, an overwhelming sense of nostalgia surged within Le Yao Yao.
Although her time at Heavenly Origin had been brief, many unforgettable events had occurred here.
There were moments of joy and moments of pain.
Here, she had loved, laughed, suffered, and cried.
She had gained much and lost much.
Because many unforgettable memories had occurred in Heavenly Origin, when Le Yao Yao arrived there, she felt a sense of trepidation, as if returning to her hometown.
However, this time they were not heading to the Capital City, but to First Villa.
First Villa was the foremost estate in Heavenly Origin, and it had been a place of healing for generations. Within the villa, each generation produced talented individuals who were always willing to help others. Therefore, the people of First Villa were respected wherever they went.
Especially this generation's Dongfang Bai!
At a young age, he was already hailed as the First Divine Physician.
Moreover, he was exceptionally handsome, refined in manner, and possessed a kind heart. Naturally, suitors came knocking at his door in droves.
Yet now, at twenty-six years old, Dongfang Bai remained single.
This had caused great distress for the Eastern Family. Every so often, they would send letters urging Dongfang Bai to settle down.
Dongfang Bai would always delay by saying he needed to find a younger sister first.
Now that he had finally found one, the Eastern Family was overjoyed. Before Dongfang Bai returned, they hurriedly summoned a Matchmaker to bring forth many talented and beautiful young ladies.
Dongfang Bai's reputation was well-known throughout both Heavenly Origin and Great Xia.
Thus, even if it meant offering themselves up willingly, both unmarried and married women were eager to pursue him.
So when Le Yao Yao and her companions arrived at First Villa, this was the scene that greeted them.
First Villa sprawled across an entire mountain peak.
Surrounding the villa was a wide road, lined with various flowers and plants, as well as shops.
As Le Yao Yao's carriage entered the spacious avenue, they were greeted not by the servants of the villa, but by a group of young women dressed in vibrant attire, heavily made up.
These girls, clearly having put in a lot of effort into their appearance, began to cheer loudly as soon as they saw Le Yao Yao's carriage approaching.
"White Divine Doctor! White Divine Doctor..."
"White Divine Doctor, my name is Yichun. You must remember me!"
"White Divine Doctor, you're so handsome! I will definitely have the Matchmaker come to propose!"
"White Divine Doctor..."
The enthusiastic cheers from outside, the throng of people, and the heavy scent of perfume made Le Yao Yao think about the fanatical nature of celebrity culture in the twenty-first century. It seemed that Dongfang Bai was just as popular wherever he went!
While she was lost in thought, suddenly a tall figure burst into the carriage.
Le Yao Yao was momentarily taken aback. When she saw Dongfang Bai's embarrassed and flustered expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, you really are popular with the ladies! Look at how pretty they all are, and they're completely infatuated with you! Why are you still inside? Hurry up and go out to pick a sister-in-law for me!"
Seeing Le Yao Yao teasing him playfully, Dongfang Bai put on a mock fearful expression and clasped his hands in surrender.
"Le Yao Yao, please spare your brother! The women outside are like wolves and tigers; I really can't handle it."
Hearing Dongfang Bai's helpless words made Le Yao Yao chuckle uncontrollably.
Even Leng Yixuan, who was standing nearby, began to giggle, her radiant smile resembling that of an angel, utterly adorable.
Seeing the two figures before him, one large and one small, both exquisitely beautiful and smiling sweetly, Dongfang Bai could only scratch his nose and smile helplessly.
Yet, within those overly beautiful Deep Black Eyes, a deep affection sparkled…
Although life had not gone as he had hoped and the love he had long awaited had never appeared, he felt content just to silently guard these two precious ones.
After all, loving someone does not only mean possessing them, does it!?
With this realization, Dongfang Bai felt a sense of clarity in his heart.
Now, all he wished for was that the people before him would always smile and be happy for a lifetime.
