General Lin

The next day: West Battlefield, General Lin's Camp

"General... Bad news from the kingdom. Lady Lin Che's place got burned. She... She's... I'm sorry..." Lin Gong's eyes widen and was taken aback by the sudden news.

The image of his 7-year-old crying daughter with the lifeless of his beloved ex- wife asking for help, came into his mind. [This.... This can't be... Che'er... My daughter's not dead yet...!" He continued on convincing himself ang got into the horse hurriedly.

[How could this happen?] Again an image of his baby daughter getting hold by his ex- wife humming and smiling, waving at him appeared on his vision before blood covered it. [No...]

General Lin's Resident

Lin Gong halted his horse and entered the resident, he didn't enter for 9 years, covered with pale white sheets. He immediately rush inside and saw a coffin with a girl's face burned disabled. Lin Cang immediately went to his side excitedly. "You're back! How have you been?" Lin Cang frowned at how excited her voice are and took her away to the study forcefully.

"Why are you so excited?" Lin Cang forgot all about the world, as she was in her ecstasy world. "Of course because you've returned! What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you right away."

Lin Gong look at her blankly and replied. "If I told you I wanted your daughter's meat, would you give me?" Seeing her froze statue, he burst into a cold laughter. "Hah! Now you are scared? Lin Cang! Today is my daughter's funeral? How could you be so happy just because you saw me? What is there to be happy for?! Even your clothes... aren't you disrespecting her?"

"I'm just happy seeing you... Besides, didn't you just disowned that ugly thing, years ago?"

She defended not thinking twice and straight. Lin Gong raise his hand and grip Lin Cang's neck tightly.

"Disowned? Ugly thing?"Lin Gong smirked and look at Lin Cang up and down. "Try and look at yourself in the mirror before criticizing others. Remember why I let you become my second wife and used my surname. Don't be full of yourself."

He let go of her and coldly stare. "You're just my second not first wife." Lin Gong said and turned around saying. "You may be my first but Ah Lin will always be my last and legal wife. Someday your title as my wife won't last longer than you expected."

Lin Che who was watching on the rooftop, had her jaw hang open welcoming a fly in. She saw Lin Gong at the entrance and their short and plain yet memorable memories together flooded, so she still went to chase after him out of curiosity. "That's my dad? How come he is young and handsome? My dad in the present time is.... Kinda plain..."Wu beside her said. "Did I forgot to tell you?"

Lin Che look at him shaking her head. "Well... Because your past had been complicated and messy... Your fate from the present is more confusing. Lin Cang adopted you and made you their money maker with her lover and daughter. after your parents died."

About to nod, when she stop again. "Wait! So you are saying... my half sister wasn't actually my half blood?! we're not related?!" She asked in a whisper yell. "Half true and half not." Wu answered calmly. "What a fated trash of mine to clean..."Lin Che murmured to herself, sighing.

Wu nodded, "Exactly. Thank god for you, the other Xu were way hotter than him." Lin Che made a disgusted face and asked. "Wu, you are so horny. Are you a man or not?"

"Nah. I'm genderless. Seriously, why did you fall for that dog face and personality of a guy, when his other relative's are all so hot?" This made Lin Che to be frozen in spot and it hit her. "That bastard has a relative?"

"Yeah, you didn't know? He even asked for someone's power to kill all of his relatives in your present life."

Lin Che scrunched up her nose and tsked. ""Who is the dumb face of a person one who's gonna do that? Bet that person's pretty stupid."

"Stupid indeed." Lin Che nodded in agreement. "If I may ask, who's that?" Lin Che asked with curiosity, which made Wu to look at her blankly. "Of course non other than..."

He pause and withdraw from her for his safety. "You." Lin Che was about to nod, but then her face turned black. "M- Me...?" She said pointing at herself. "Y- you... You called me stupid?"

"Yea-... Wait, no! You're the one who said that first." He hurriedly said, when Lin Che's hand was about to punch the roof top. "No wonder. But he said it was urgent and enemy. How come I fall for that?"

Wu chuckled, "Because you're stupid?"

"Mayb... Wait, what? I didn't catch that?" Lin Che asked at Wu through gritted teeth. "Because, you are stupi- Ah!" He shouted at the end, when Lin Che took her katana and pointed directly at his ears. "Please, not my so fluffy ears. They are expensive each than you think!"
