The latter, Gu Qiangwei was not surprised.
Was her father really Nangong Mingchuan?
"Are you sure?" Looking at her mother, she blurted out, which confused both Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan.
It should be noted that her question "Are you sure" implied she was questioning Tang Yuyan, asking if she was indeed her and Nangong Mingchuan’s daughter rather than another man’s?
As soon as the question was asked, Gu Qiangwei realized it and was just about to explain when Tang Yuyan smiled and spoke.
"When I married Gu Zhendong, I was already pregnant with you," she said, suddenly turning her gaze to her husband, staring straight at him as she spoke, "If he doesn’t believe, thinking I was involved with another man, then we can deny him as a father and from now on, just the three of us will live together."
Naturally, Nangong Mingchuan understood the subtext in his wife’s words; how could he possibly doubt her? However, he was somewhat worried about her, fearing she might still harbor resentment over a mistake he had made in the past.
Tang Yuyan indeed could not let it go.
When she had lost her memory, she had no feelings about it, so she could easily forgive him. However, after the recovery of her memory, the scene involving him and Chen Lan continued to haunt her, leaving her somewhat uneasy.
"How could I possibly not believe you? Whatever you say, I believe!"
"That may not be the case because when I left you, there was no sign of pregnancy," Tang Yuyan turned her gaze away, her eyes slightly swollen from crying, but after acknowledging her daughter, her mood was much improved, "Maybe Weiwei is the daughter of me and Gu Zhendong."
From her calm words, he clearly felt that she, having recovered her memory, also remembered that mistake, and was now angry about it.
But he was really surprised; when she left that year, she had actually been pregnant, completely unbeknownst to him.
Tang Yuyan ignored him and turned her gaze to Gu Qiangwei beside her, "Weiwei, you are our Nangong family’s daughter, so you must return and acknowledge your ancestry."
Listening to her words, Gu Qiangwei was caught in a daze.
Unexpectedly, she had become the renowned young lady of the Nangong family, which was indeed somewhat overwhelming for her.
As if knowing what she was hesitant about, Tang Yuyan said, "Don’t worry, your grandfather already knows about you, and I will explain everything that happened."
"Your mother is right, you are our daughter, and naturally, you should return to acknowledge your ancestry," Nangong Mingchuan also agreed.
A daughter of the Nangong family couldn’t be left stranded outside, especially not with the surname Gu.
This point, he would rectify today!
Gu Qiangwei paused in hesitation and did not speak for a while. Eventually, she looked up at Tang Yuyan, "After you recover and are discharged from the hospital, we will discuss this."
Tang Yuyan paused, "You don’t want to go back?"
"No, I just thought we could discuss it after you recover."
Tang Yuyan realized, "That’s true, all this talk is futile for now."
Actually, what worried her more was that this might mean she and Nangong Feifei were now half-sisters, sharing the same father.
And then there was Nangong He, would he accept her as his suddenly appearing granddaughter?
Being a granddaughter as well, surely he must prefer Nangong Feifei more?
It wasn’t that she wanted to vie for affection, but she wondered how she should face Nangong Feifei upon returning to acknowledge her ancestry.
