Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 23 The Painful Truth, The Mystery of One's Origins
Perhaps provoked by the slap, Long Xingyu roared out, feeling wronged himself.

He didn't kill the children born to his beloved wife and another man, but instead diligently taught them. That's already quite good, isn't it?

He shouted it out, and Bai Yue and her two children were stunned, staring blankly at him.

Unlike Bai Xilong Haochen, who was at a loss, Bai Yue was trembling with anger and didn't know how to speak.

At that moment, her heart truly felt cold, and this feeling was reflected on her face.

Long Xingyu still loved Bai Yue. Upon seeing Bai Yue like this, he immediately panicked and quickly began to speak softly to her.

"Even if they weren't my children, I wouldn't care. For you, I can love them as if they were my own children. I can do it."

But his words were like adding fuel to the fire for Bai Yue.

“I told you, they are your own children, but you don’t believe me.”

Bai Yue's eyes were filled with pain as she looked at Long Xingyu in disbelief, her words seemingly stained with blood.

"You don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, why did I come to find us? Why did I want to acknowledge us as my family?"

"Long Xingyu, say something!"

She never imagined that Long Xingyu would disbelieve her.

She thought that since they loved each other so much, they should naturally trust each other's words unconditionally.

However, today Long Xingyu made her realize that there is no trust between them.

"No, Yue, it's not like that, I..."

Seeing Bai Yue like this, Long Xingyu anxiously tried to explain, but found that he couldn't.

Because all of this was the truth, he did have doubts, he did not believe Bai Yue's words, and he did believe that Long Haochen and Bai Xi had an unusual background.

He couldn't argue.

He could only stand there silently, intending to let Bai Yue vent her anger.

This was the only solution he could think of.

“Mom, he suspects we’re not his children, and it might have something to do with my face.”

Bai Xi chimed in from the side.

She doesn't believe silence is the solution; silence won't heal the wound, it will only cause it to fester and deepen the injury.

The best solution is to uncover everything as soon as possible.

"Your face? Your face? So that's how it is—so that's how it is—"

Bai Yue murmured Bai Xi's words, then suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Long Xingyu and laughing until tears streamed down her face.

She was smiling, but the other three people present could tell that she was actually crying.

“Xixi looks somewhat like that person. You don’t think they are my and that person’s children, do you?”

Long Xingyu remained silent, not speaking.

But they were, after all, a loving couple, and Bai Yue could certainly tell that Long Xingyu thought the same way.

"You're an idiot, and so am I."

Bai Yue laughed again, pointing at Bai Xi and Long Haochen.

"I'll say it one last time, they are your and my biological children."

“Xixi doesn’t look like her father, nor does she look like her mother, me.”

"If you assume she's that person's child just because she looks like them, then Xixi looks like my mother. She can't possibly be my mother's child." "Appearance is a very strange thing in this world. Two completely different people can have similarities. It's ridiculous that you would suspect their background just because they look alike."

Mentioning their backgrounds and Bai Xi's appearance inevitably brought Bai Yue to think of her own past, causing her immense pain—something she could never face.

Hearing Bai Yue say this, Long Xingyu finally believed it.

I stood there stunned, feeling a pang of self-reproach and regret.

Now I'm finally in the mood to talk about everything from back then and completely pull out the thorn stuck in his heart.

"But weren't you kidnapped by him back then? And their birth dates... what's going on, Yue? Have I misunderstood something again?"

Long Xingyu only wanted to remove the thorn in his heart. He didn't know Bai Yue's background, so how could he know that his words would undoubtedly pierce Bai Yue's heart as well?

“You’ve misunderstood. There’s absolutely nothing between him and me.”

Bai Yue was reluctant to talk about it, but it was something that caused her so much pain that she couldn't face her husband and former relatives and friends, which led her to leave her hometown and suffer from depression for ten years.

However, Long Xingyu persisted in asking questions until he got to the bottom of it, because he knew very well that only by getting to the bottom of things could he completely dispel his doubts and let go of his resentment.

So he pressed on again, his tone becoming pleading.

"Yue, please stop hiding it from me. I am your husband. No matter what happens, I will protect you. I should know the truth."

Bai Yue still deeply loved Long Xingyu after all. When she met Long Xingyu's pleading gaze, she immediately softened and had the urge to tell him the truth.

But she glanced at Bai Xi and Long Haochen and didn't want her children to bear this pain as well; they should grow up carefree.

Let's talk about this privately.

"it is good."

Long Xingyu also thought that it was something too heavy for Bai Yue to talk about, so he immediately agreed.

Just as they were about to use their skills to create a soundproof barrier in front of them, they were interrupted at the same time by the perfectly coordinated brother and sister.

Bai Xi rushed forward and hugged Bai Yue's waist, while Long Haochen also rushed forward and hugged Long Xingyu at the same time, both clinging to him tightly with great force.

“We’re not children anymore. We’ve grown up and have the right to know the truth. Mom, please stop hiding it from us. We can share this burden with you.”

"Yue?"

Long Xingyu was unsure how to handle the two children, so he asked Bai Yue for her opinion.

"Mommy mommy."

The repeated calls of "Mom" were enough to soften Bai Yue's heart, and she shook her head.

"Let's just say this: don't mention his name or his identity."

Bai Yue's voice was very low, very low, and hesitant.

But she finally spoke up, having already prepared for the worst.

"The person you thought was Xixi's father, the person you've always been resentful about, is not Xixi's father, but my biological father."

Upon hearing this, Long Xingyu was instantly stunned, feeling as if his mind couldn't process what he was hearing.

Long Xingyu initially thought he was hallucinating, but he heard Bai Yue continue speaking, each word filled with pain.

"Chenchen and Xixi are twins, a boy and a girl. Chenchen looks more like me, but Xixi inherited her looks from her maternal grandparents."

"Back then, that person suddenly took me away because he sensed his bloodline aura within me. But I didn't want to stay there; I couldn't survive there."

"Later, he found out I was pregnant, but because I was depressed from staying there, there was a high risk of death for all three of us, so he finally let me leave."
