Married at First Sight Chapter 4397 
The old doctor was momentarily stunned. He reached out to touch the boy’s head and gently asked, “Why do you ask that?” 
“I’ve never seen my real parents. I don’t even know what they look like. If they were alive, why didn’t they come to find me? How could they have left me on the side of the road to be picked up by Mother Mu?” 
The little boy was clever—he knew how to reason things out. 
“Yangyang’s parents are divorced, but he still gets to see his father. He lives with his mother. Even though she works far away, she still comes home to see him.” 
“But I don’t have that. I thought maybe they didn’t come to find me because they turned into stars, watching me from the sky.” 
The old doctor pulled him into a hug, sighed, and said, “Long Ting, you have us. Your Mother Mu and Uncle Ye love you dearly and treat you like their own child. The Jun family also considers you their nephew.” 
“Even though your biological parents are gone, you are surrounded by people who love you. That’s something to be happy about—so grow up with joy in your heart.” 
Long Ting nestled into his master’s arms. 
So, it was true—his biological parents had died. 
For as long as he could remember, Long Ting had been Mu Qing’s adopted son. Raised with care by Mu Qing and accepted by the Jun family, he never pitied himself or thought much about his birth parents. He had been too young—just a toddler—so they hadn’t crossed his mind. 
Now, at over five years old, he could understand more. He felt different from his friends. After thinking it over, he concluded that his birth parents must no longer be alive. 
Though he had no memories of them, hearing the truth brought a trace of sadness—but no tears. 
“Master, do you know how my biological parents died?” 
The old doctor lied and said, “You were chosen by your master and taken in as his disciple. That’s how he met you. He doesn’t know anything about your past. Not even your Mother Mu knows. Much less him.” 

Long Ting asked, “Does Uncle Ying know? Everyone says Uncle Ying is amazing. If he wants to know something, nothing can be hidden from him.” 
The old doctor continued with the lie: “No one has tried to find out about your parents, so how could anyone know?” 
“Besides, we don’t even know where you’re originally from. Although your Mother Mu found you in Wangcheng, you’re not a native of Wangcheng. She asked around and confirmed that you aren’t from there.” 
“Still, I’m certain you came from a well-off family—you were clearly born to be a young master.” 
The old doctor released the little boy from his arms, gently pushed him back a bit, looked down at the intelligent child, and said kindly, “Long Ting, all you need to do is study hard, learn medicine from your master, and train in martial arts with your brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts. Learn everything they teach you.” 
“When you grow up and become truly strong, you can search for your past and uncover the truth about your biological parents.” 
Long Ting asked with innocent curiosity, “If I become powerful, can I see my parents again? Can they come down from the sky and return to me? I really want to know what they look like.” 
No matter how kind Mother Mu was to him, no matter how much love she gave, she wasn’t his biological mother. 
As long as he hadn’t been abandoned, he wanted to know who his real parents were. 
The old doctor replied, “They’re watching you from heaven. The stronger you become, the happier and more at peace they’ll feel.” 
Long Ting didn’t quite understand, but he didn’t ask further. 
He sensed the topic was a bit heavy, especially since his master wasn’t acting as cheerful as usual. Instead, he was unusually gentle and calm. That made Long Ting feel that something was different. 
It was clear this topic weighed on his master. Because he cared, he had put aside his usual smiling demeanor and softened his tone. 
“Master, I’ll study hard and train diligently. I’ll learn medicine from you and one day be able to heal the sick and save lives—just like you.” 
“Our Long Ting is such a good boy. Tonight, I’ll reward you with a chicken leg.” 

“Okay! Let’s go kill a chicken now. There are two legs—we’ll each have one. I’ll eat one, and Master can have the other!”
