Five years ago, Chu Feng had impregnated Yun Muqing in an act of impulse. She had to bring Duo Duo up by herself while enduring shame and hardship. As much as he tried to make up for his mistake, he could never fully pay back what he owed her.
He did not want to squander another woman's youth again.
In this materialistic day and age, it was not surprising for someone wealthy or influential to be involved in more than one illicit relationship. Even normal men could not resist the temptation of beautiful women.
However, Chu Feng thought a real man should remain loyal and responsible. Otherwise, he would be no different than Lord Chu of Yanjing.
"They call you the Guardian of Donghua, and they said you singlehandedly maintained the peace and prosperity of the nation for the past twenty years," Chu Feng said to himself while chuckling, though he subconsciously clenched his fists. "But you've let down the woman who remained by your side for ten years without asking for anything in return. Everyone in Donghua owes you a debt of gratitude, but you owe that woman and her alone…"
No one would care for the fate of an unremarkable woman born in the slums, but to Chu Feng, that woman was his mother.
Chu Feng's eyes seemed to have caught a mote of dust. He rubbed his bloodshot eyes and tried to compose himself.
"Mother, I'll get back what he and the Chu family owes you. It won't be too long before that happens…"
Chu Feng strode away resolutely, bearing a certain faith in his heart. His figure eventually melded into the night.
Half an hour later, Chu Feng returned to Haitang Garden Mansion. He felt better when he remembered Duo Duo's cute and animated antics.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Yun Muyu sitting cross-legged on the carpet playing a video game with a lollipop in her mouth. She was pressing buttons on the controller as though her life depended on it.
