After making sure that no one was around, Yichan took a deep breath and slowly sneaked out towards the basement. He was taking such a risk not only to find the negatives but also to look for a few evidences which would clear all the doubts he had.

After learning the truth about Ning's biological parents, he was having a feeling that there was much more to it and there were many things that grandpa Yang was hiding. He had also made up his mind to raid grandpa Mo's basement as well. ​​

….

Basement.

After turning on the lights, he slowly closed the door before folding his sleeves.

"Okay Yichan, you can do this," he muttered before walking towards the pile of things which were dumped all over the place.

After taking a deep breath, he started digging in hoping that he would get his hands on the negatives and also something concrete.

…..

Garden.

Looking around, Ning smiled, "I really missed this place."

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, grandpa Yang smiled, "I am sure this garden missed you too princess. In fact, this whole house feels so empty without you."

"Hmm I miss you too grandpa, why don't you come and stay with us for sometime? It will be fun and I'll cook your favourites everyday," she suggested.

"I would love to but I don't think so Yichan will like being around with someone who keeps bugging and making fun of him," he chuckled.

"Yichan doesn't mind, in fact, he was the one who asked me to invite you over."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he inquired, "Are you happy with him?"

"Very happy, he takes care of me just like you do," she replied.

"Then I have nothing to worry about." Pausing for a while, he added, "You know honey, when I brought you over here you were a small cute little girl who was quite scared. I thought that you would give me a very hard time fussing about going back to your parents. I was scared because I didn't want to send you back there, I wanted to keep you with me. You know you are my favorite right?"

When Ning chuckled and nodded her head, he continued, "But irrespective to my expectations, you were exceptionally excellent and understanding. You never once did you fuss about going back to your parents house which made things quiet easy for me."

Cupping her face, grandpa Yang smiled, "You have always been a very sensible and understanding woman Ning and I want you to always remember that your grandpa loves you alot and he would never do anything to hurt you."

"I know that grandpa, I know that you would never hurt me intentionally."

Kissing her forehead, he remarked, "You are the only family I have whom I love to my hearts content and trust the most. If something happens in the future which will complicate things, please don't be angry with me. I really don't know what I will do if I lose you Ning I—"

Cutting him off, Ning frowned, "Calm down grandpa, I am never going to leave you and why are you saying all of this?"

After taking a deep breath, he smiled, "Alright, let's not talk about this." Glancing at his watch, he added, "We should go inside now, Yichan is alone."

Pursing her lips, she grabbed his hand and stopped him. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something important."

Grandpa Yang frowned and asked, "What is it princess?"

Hesitating for a while, Ning blurted, "I want to have a baby but Yichan doesn't, I don't want to force him as well so what should I do?"

At the mention of a baby, grandpa Yang's eyes sparkled. Guiding her towards the bench, he grabbed her hand and beamed, "Really Ning? You want to have a baby?"

When she nodded her head, grandpa Yang cheered in excitement. She didn't want to lie to him but she needed to kill some time so that Yichan could complete the basement mission.

….

Basement.

After digging a lot, Yichan sighed and sat down on a chair to catch some breath. He had found many useless and nasty things but they were definitely of no use.

Taking out his handkerchief, he was wiping his face when his eyes landed on a pile of neatly placed boxes in the corner of the room.

Walking towards it, he squatted down and frowned before wiping the dust off the box.

When he saw a huge 'WEILONG' written on it, he quickly started unboxing it.

Taking out a bunch of certificates and notebooks from the box, he started examining it. Though they were quite old, they were still in the best condition.

After going through each and everyone of them, he took out his phone and started taking a few pictures of the certificates before tossing them aside.

Digging deeper, he found an old album which had pictures of Weilong and his friends.

Scrolling through the album, he stopped in between when he saw a specific picture which made his brows scrunch. Taking the picture out, he carefully placed it inside his pocket and started looking for more.

Looking at the last box, he sighed and opened it, hoping to get what he wanted in there.

As soon as he opened the box, his eyes handed on a black file. When he opened the file, he found two birth certificates which belonged to Ning. One of them had Yang Luzin's name under the father's name section while the other one had Yang Weilong.

Taking a proper picture of both of them, he kept it aside and started looking inside the box again.

At the bottom of the box, he found a reel of negative photographs. Though he wasn't sure if it was what they were looking for, he still grabbed them and immediately left the basement after keeping everything in its original place.

…

Garden.

"Did you try making holes in the condom?" Grandpa Yang curiously inquired.

Ning widened her eyes in shock and shouted, "What? Are you insane grandpa?"

"What? That is the easiest way to—"

Cutting him off, she frowned, "I cannot do that grandpa, it's like betraying Yichan's trust and—" she stopped midway when her phone buzzed.
