Chapter 194: Princess Beilan

Lai Ran nodded his head, wanting to say something, yet he remained silent.

He gave a few instructions to the servants and then turned to walk toward the front courtyard.

This child, after all, had become estranged from him.

Lai Ran sighed. Just a moment ago, she had been able to call Yun Shi 'Mother,' yet she could never bring herself to call him 'Father.'

Leng Yu Yan clasped her hands tightly together, squeezing hard before she finally turned around and mustered the courage to shout at his retreating figure, "Father King, Daddy!"

Hearing the clear and sweetly husky call, a tear slid from Lai Ran's eye.

He quickly wiped it away before turning around, "Yan'er, Father King is so sorry! For over a decade, I had no idea you even existed in this world."

He felt guilty and ashamed!

If only he had known sooner, she wouldn't have had to suffer at such a young age.

She wouldn't have had to face criticism or be looked down upon!
