Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 The Family with Blind Eyes

"Do you know how much Yuhan has suffered?" In the corridor, Qin Zhengyang’s voice was heavy with memory. "As a child from a wealthy family, she had only two paths: be dissolute, or work even harder. She chose the harder one. Four years ago, when she was pregnant, she had just taken over as president. At that time, all the newspapers were gossiping about her, and she even developed depression."

At this point, tears welled up in the eyes of Qin Zhengyang, a truly strong man.

What parent doesn’t dote on their own child?

Looking at Qin Zhengyang, Wu Tian was at a loss for words. He could imagine what it was like for a woman to raise a child on her own, surrounded by the idle gossip of others.

And she was a president, no less.

"But now, not many people know she has a daughter," Qin Zhengyang said. "Because of her hard work, people see her accomplishments, leaving them no time to care about scandals. Her performance has overshadowed the gossip, making people forget all about it. Do you have any idea how much effort she put in to get to this point?"

What must her state of mind have been back then?

Thinking about all the years she had toiled alone for her child, Wu Tian suddenly understood that Qin Yuhan’s coldness toward him wasn’t without reason. He didn’t blame her in the slightest. In fact, his heart ached for her.

"I understand," Wu Tian said, his face as calm as still water, but his tone resolute. "I will take care of her from now on."

"Mm," Qin Zhengyang nodded.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Well, if that’s everything, I’ll head back inside," Wu Tian said, seeing that the conversation had ended. Even though Qin Zhengyang was his father-in-law, Wu Tian’s tone was as flat and detached as ever.

"Wait, I haven’t gotten to the important part yet. Where are you going?" Qin Zhengyang called out, stopping him.

Wu Tian was speechless. Then what was all that just now?

Qin Zhengyang’s expression turned serious, more solemn than before. He seemed to hesitate, debating whether he should tell Wu Tian, but he finally asked, "Do you want to know about your father?"

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up.

He had never once seen his father. Every time he asked his mother, she refused to say a word and would do anything to change the subject.

"Tell me," Wu Tian said, his demeanor growing earnest.

Qin Zhengyang looked at Wu Tian, nodded, and began his story.

"I met your parents back when we were in the military. I was considered quite outstanding back then, but compared to your father, I paled in insignificance. Your father was a generational King of Soldiers. He even had a bit of a romantic entanglement with the empress of Arthur Country."

Hearing this, Wu Tian understood that his father had been quite the charmer in his youth.

"Your parents met and got to know each other in the military camp, only falling in love after being certain they were right for each other."

Wu Tian nodded.

But here, Qin Zhengyang’s tone shifted. He sighed and said, "Unfortunately, that was also the beginning of their tragedy."

Anyone else might have been puzzled.

How could parents falling in love be the start of a tragedy?

They’re just slightly larger ants, that’s all. At my peak, I could crush them all with a single stomp. And now? They’re nothing more than stepping stones for my rise.
