217 Chapter 217 acknowledged her as Goddaughter 5

"She is no longer here. On this day 18 years ago, she was born without breath."

Cass Jerne said with great regret. He had never taken the initiative to mention this matter in front of outsiders but he inadvertently mentioned it in front of Lan Keqin.

"Then isn't today her..."

Lan Keqin subconsciously blurted out, but she swallowed the words "death day."

"Yes! Today is her death day."

Cass Jerne answered sadly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

Lan Keqin sincerely apologized. She really didn't mean to rub salt on Cass Jerne's wound. Those kinds of questions were usually answered reflexively and when she realized it... That was why she immediately swallowed the words "her death day" back.

"It's okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose."

Cass Jerne said with a smile. The more he looked at Lan Keqin, the more he liked her. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like Nangong Yurou.

If his eldest daughter was still alive, would she look like his Yurou? Would her eyes look like his blue eyes?

"Yes!"

Lan Keqin replied with a soft "yes." When she faced Cass Jerne, she was a little nervous. Her fingers continuously rubbed the corner of her clothes.

"Keqin really looks like my wife."

After a while, Cass Jerne suddenly said this.

"Uh...?"

Lan Keqin looked at Cass Jerne in surprise. It was fine if he didn't say it but, when he said it, everyone remembered Nangong Yurou's appearance. Then, they all looked at Lan Keqin strangely.

"I don't think so. Now that King Jerne has said it, Little Keqin really does look like the Queen. Previously, I thought that Keqin looked like someone but I just couldn't remember who."

Yi Xuan looked at Lan Keqin and said in surprise. The more he looked at her, the more alike she looked.

"If Little Keqin's eyes were blue, I would have thought that she was your daughter," Jack said regretfully.

"That's right! If Keqin's eyes were blue, I would have thought that my eldest daughter was still in this world. It's a pity that she was buried with my own eyes."

When Cass Jerne's voice spoke, it didn't have its usual magnetism and majesty. There were only vicissitudes and heartache.

"There are more people who look like her in this world. After all, there are thousands of people. It's inevitable that there will be people who look like her."

Lan Keqin sighed and said. When she saw Cass Jerne's heartache because of the death of his eldest daughter, her heart also felt uncomfortable.

When they said that she looked like Nangong Yurou, a thought suddenly arose in her heart. Could Cass Jerne and Nangong Yurou be her biological parents? After all, she was picked up by her parents the Lans.

However, Jerne's words, "If it wasn't for Little Keqin's eyes not being blue," caused her to suddenly dismiss this thought.

Moreover, Cass Jerne was the King of the Cass Empire, and she was picked up by the Lan couple in a small mountain village in Country A, so it was even more impossible.

In the past, she had never thought of looking for her biological parents. She felt that they must have deliberately abandoned her, so she was somewhat resentful in her heart.

However, when she saw Cass Jerne's pain because of the death of his eldest daughter. It made her wonder if she ever thought about whether her biological parents had no other choice at all?

Even so, Lan Keqin only thought about it casually. In her heart, Father Lan and Mother Lan would always be her dearest parents. No one could compare to them. Even if her biological parents came knocking on her door. They could not compare to the position of Father Lan and Mother Lan in her heart.

Everything depended on fate. She would not look for her biological parents. If they did not deliberately abandon her, then perhaps fate would allow them to meet.

If they deliberately abandoned her, then there was nothing more to say.

"Who are Keqin's parents?"

Cass Jerne was suddenly very curious about Lan Keqin's parents' looks. What kind of genes could give birth to an appearance that was similar to his wife's?

"They are just farmers in the mountains. I love them very much."

When Lan Keqin said that her parents were farmers in the mountains, there was not a trace of discomfort and resentment in her eyes. There was only deep affection for her parents.

"I see! I like you very much. I wonder if I can take you as my goddaughter?"

Kass Jerne was just thinking about it in his heart, but he still blurted it out.

"Uh...?"

When Cass Jerne said this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. They had never thought that Cass Jerne would say something like this.

Cass Jerne looked at Lan Keqin with some anticipation. He hoped that Lan Keqin would agree. Actually, when the surgery was being performed on Nangong Yurou, he had already thought that she was Di Junlin's sweetheart.

It had to be said that this girl was really likable. She was cute, innocent, and very polite. Yueying's personality was a lot more stubborn. It was no wonder that an iceberg like Di Junlin would fall in love with this girl.

Because she was really likable. Even he liked her very much. Moreover, it was the first time they had met.

He was the King of a country. His every move was watched by the people of the world. Sometimes, one's decision and one's action had to be carefully considered.

However, he wanted to acknowledge Lan Keqin as his goddaughter, but he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he directly said it.

"I... Can I?"

Lan Keqin was excited. She looked at Cass Jerne very nervously. When Cass Jerne said that he wanted to acknowledge her as his goddaughter, she actually felt inexplicably happy in her heart.

It was not because of Cass Jerne's noble status, but simply because she was happy. However, when she thought of her ordinary status, she felt a little scared.

"Of course you can. I took you as my goddaughter because I think you are very likable, and I also find you very pleasant. Especially when I see that you look very similar to Yurou, I feel like my dead eldest daughter has come back to life. I know that saying this will definitely make you feel a little uncomfortable but this is my truth."

Cass Jerne said with a smile. He did not hide anything and said what he truly thought in his heart.

"I won't. I'm willing."

Lan Keqin hurriedly waved her hand and said. She did not mind Cass Jerne's reason being her looking like Nangong Yurou. She was just following her heart.

"Then can you call me Godfather?"

Cass Jerne looked at Lan Keqin with anticipation. He could not wait to hear Lan Keqin call him godfather.

"God... Godfather."

Lan Keqin called Cass Jerne with a smile.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I say, Little Keqin! Don't tell me you're going to sell yourself out just like that?"

When Yi Xuan came back to his senses, Cass Jerne had already successfully acknowledged Lan Keqin as his goddaughter. He could not help but look at Lan Keqin with a meaningful look as he said.

"Yeah! Don't tell me you sold yourself just like that?"

After Jack came back to his senses, he also met Yi Xuan's question.
