"I didn't know until I came here." Xue Zimu explained to Qi Yan with a taunting smile, "My mom never told me about Xue Li's bad deeds, only said that they were divorced. She didn't want for me to hold hatred towards anyone, so she treated me with more attention and whitewashed Xue Li's disgusting actions. I used to think that they were divorced before I was born, and Xue Li didn't know about my existence so he never came to visit."

"Xue Li understands my mom's personality well, and he used this excuse when he picked me up. He said he had returned to his hometown a few days ago, and found out that my mom had brought a child to W City with her. He had secretly done a paternity test and confirmed that I'm his son, and wanted to take me back to take care of me."

"After I came, I discovered the truth from those years," Xue Zimu satirically sneered, "Xue Lin complained to Yao Yue why they had to take me, this wild seed, home. Then, Yao Yue complained offhandedly to Xue Li and attempted to conceal the matter with a few sentences, and jeered at my mom. I just happen to hear it."

In fact, Xue Zimu didn't hear about this in the past until he was forcefully informed by Yao Yue. At that time, he was clutched by Yao Yue and coerced to bear Xue Yu's crimes. When he heard Yao Yue had hired someone to threaten She Qing, he immediately broke free from his captor, ruthlessly punched Yao Yue's face and almost bit off a piece of flesh. He was beaten more severely for this, but he didn't regret it.

Qi Yan didn't know what happened to Xue Zimu in his last life, but he could sense that he had become a little dark and hostile.

Qi Yan didn't dislike him being like this, because Xue Zimu's appearance was incredibly gorgeous. When a ruthless expression appeared on his face, it developed into one of the highest quality. Since Qi Yan was a facecon, he should be happy to see this.

However, Qi Yan frowned. Even if Xue Zimu might look better like this, he preferred Xue Zimu's previous appearances, smiling to even being expressionless. At least that way, there would be no strange, nauseating feeling in his heart.

Qi Yan wanted to reach out and stroke Xue Zimu's head, but he felt it would be too sudden and he was driving. After thinking about it, he could only change the topic: "Since it's like this, do you want to change your surname?"

"Change surnames?" Xue Zimu paused for a moment. He didn't attach much to his name, though he hated Xue Li, he didn't have any connections to the surname 'Xue,' so he didn't think about changing his surname in both of his lives. Qi Yan only reminded him, but Xue Zimu thought a change would be good. It might take some time to get used to it at the start, but it would be a convenient way to draw a clear line between him and the Xue Family.

Thinking of this, Xue Zimu responded: "If you didn't mention it I wouldn't have thought of it. Changing it would be good." If he were to change, it would definitely be to Shu Ning's surname. Xue Zimu thought about it: "Shu Zimu...it's okay, not too awkward."

After the name change was settled, Qi Yan saw the other's mood had clearly recovered and let out an unnoticeable sigh of relief. He had wanted to ask why he agreed to marry him but felt it wasn't the right time and continued the conversation: "It's best to hide this from Xue Li, wait until he has taken over the holiday resort project. I will talk to my family about this and call you Shu Zimu from now on."
