Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 553 - 475: Fourteen Updates

Yi Luowa giggled and said, "If seeking revenge on you can bring you peace of mind, then I shall retaliate a bit."

Dean hurriedly said, "As long as you don’t break up Bert and me, you can handle me however you like. With this lesson, I won’t dare to be petty anymore."

Yi Luowa smiled and said, "Alright, then I punish you by having dinner at our house."

Dean looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What kind of punishment is that?"

Yi Luowa held her hand and laughed, "I haven’t finished my sentence! I’ll personally cook two dishes for you, no matter how bad they taste, you have to finish them."

Dean laughed upon hearing this, "You want to make me eat your culinary disasters!"

Yi Luowa raised her eyebrows slightly, "You’re right! Dare to eat it?"

Dean nodded vigorously, "As long as you can forgive me, I’d eat your culinary disasters every day willingly!"

Dean and Bert had dinner at the Duke’s, but she didn’t get to eat the so-called culinary disasters.

On the way back, Dean sighed, "Bert, I finally understand why you always talk about Luowa. She has such a good nature, and she is so forgiving. Talking to her, you don’t have to be careful or deliberate about your words. I see her getting along with her sisters-in-law like real sisters."

Bert said expressionlessly, "From now on, I will never mention a word about Luowa in front of you."

Dean was taken aback, "Why?"

"If it weren’t for me mentioning her so often, you wouldn’t have been suspicious. Ai Rui said it right, for a couple to get along well, you need to consider things from the other’s standpoint first. Think about it, if you kept mentioning a man every day, I’d definitely get upset too."

Dean sniffed, "Even if you’re upset, you wouldn’t do something as foolish as I did."

"Let’s take this incident as a lesson and never bring it up again. Also, I’ve decided not to give you an opportunity to do something foolish again."

Dean looked at Bert eagerly, "Then... can our wedding still go on as planned?"

Bert squinted at her, "What do you think?"

Dean smiled slightly and rested her head on Bert’s shoulder.

The Haotian Palace

Emperor Haotian entered the bedroom excitedly holding a DNA report.

Empress Haotian glanced at him coldly before turning her gaze back out the window.

Emperor Haotian sat down beside her with remorse, "Zhi Lan, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have believed the rumors and fought with you back then. If we hadn’t quarreled, you wouldn’t have left me, and our daughter..."

Empress Haotian slightly furrowed her brows, "It’s been so many years, let’s not bring it up again to avoid hurting feelings. This DNA report was done under your supervision, now, you should believe that Du Ma and I are innocent, right?"

Emperor Haotian nodded remorsefully, "Zhi Lan, I owe you and our daughter so much."

"Just be good to our daughter from now on, and that’s all that matters." Empress Haotian’s nose tingled, and she turned her face away, "If it weren’t for Kai Di wanting me to be good to her son and telling the truth, we might not have known that this daughter is still living until we were in our graves."

Emperor Haotian, feeling guilty, hugged his wife, "No more crying, I will make it up to the child... Zhi Lan, when the invitations were sent out, it said recognizing a goddaughter, but now, how do we explain to everyone?"

Empress Haotian gave him a playful glare, "It all came to this because of you! When the child was brought back, I asked you to do a DNA test, but you refused! Now we can only wait for the guests to arrive and rectify the child’s status on the spot."

"That’s all we can do." Emperor Haotian sighed, "I was stubborn, and that girl is even more stubborn! Actually, the day after you mentioned it, I went behind your back to find Nancy and asked for a few strands of hair. You hear what that girl said to me: Didn’t you do this once before? You’ve already proven I’m not your daughter, so why are you looking for me again! Planning to drive me away once more?"

Empress Haotian glanced at him, "And then you came back angry?"

"Of course, I was angry."

Empress Haotian smiled helplessly, "And what’s made you think to do the DNA test this time?"

"You kept giving me the cold shoulder, and I realized if I didn’t listen to you, you’d kick me out of the bedroom. Mainly, your firm attitude made me have a premonition that something went wrong in some stage of the previous DNA process."

"You should ask your dear sister about it!" Empress Haotian snorted coldly.

Emperor Haotian looked at his wife in shock, "What on earth happened?"

"It was all Kai Di’s doing! She hated me, saying I played with your and Du Ma’s feelings. If it weren’t for me, you and Du Ma wouldn’t have become enemies, and Haotian wouldn’t have fallen into chaos.

Xia Rou told me that Kai Di threatened her with the lives of her entire family to take the blood from the baby of a woman in the clinic. After your people took the blood sample, Xia Rou secretly swapped the baby back. Kai Di did this to completely drive me away."

Emperor Haotian squinted his eyes slightly, "And then, I really drove you away..."

Empress Haotian forcefully smiled, "If I weren’t so sick to the brink of death, you wouldn’t have taken me back."

"Seeing you on the verge of death, do you know how much I hated myself?"

"Not only did you hate yourself, but I also hated you. If it weren’t for your great fire, our daughter and I wouldn’t have been separated."

Emperor Haotian looked at his wife in shock, "The fire?"

Empress Haotian frowned, "Wasn’t that fire set by you?"

"I never set any fire!"

Empress Haotian frowned, "Then who started that fire? Xia Rou said that after escaping with the child, she heard someone whispering, ’Emperor Haotian has ordered, that child must not live to see tomorrow.’

Emperor Haotian clenched his fists, "I never gave such an order."

Empress Haotian looked at him suspiciously, "Who exactly is lying?"
