Free Web NovelChapter 224: Chapter 202: Marquis Yisha’s Choice (Part 2)
"Why would I lie to you? If you go to the Star Port now, the Starship should be arriving soon."
「At that moment」
「Baisha Star Port」
As soon as Yu Lan received the news, she rushed to the Star Port with Yu Wenzhou and staff from the Star Governor Mansion to welcome Marquis Yisha.
When the silhouette of the Starship truly did appear slowly before her, Yu Lan nervously gripped Yu Wenzhou’s hand.
"She’s really here."
"I never expected this."
It was so unbelievable.
’Doesn’t Marquis Yisha know what her appearance here at this time represents?’
But she still appeared without any hesitation.
’So selfless, magnanimous, and benevolent.’
No wonder all the Imperial Citizens once hoped she would be the next Queen.
「Meanwhile」
「Aboard the Starship」
Through the transparent glass, Marquis Yisha also saw Yu Lan’s familiar, exquisitely beautiful face.
A beauty so stunning it was like a sun slowly rising in the darkness.
She only needed to stand there, doing nothing, and it was enough to make everyone turn and look.
Down below, Yu Lan seemed to sense Marquis Yisha’s gaze from the Starship.
She suddenly looked up.
And waved vigorously toward the sky.
An inexplicable impulse welled up inside her.
Almost subconsciously, Marquis Yisha also raised her hand and waved back at Yu Lan.
It wasn’t until Arturo looked over with a surprised expression that she suddenly realized the Starship had special privacy shielding; no matter what she did inside, Yu Lan wouldn’t be able to see her.
"Arturo," Marquis Yisha said abruptly, lowering her gaze.
"For some reason, I sometimes truly suspect that Louisa is not my daughter."
’In my mind, my daughter should be like Yu Lan.’
’She doesn’t have to be beautiful, but she should have a kind heart, one more precious than gold.’
’Why did Louisa turn out like this?’
’Was she corrupted by Belina, or is this just her true nature?’
Subconsciously, Marquis Yisha’s thoughts drifted back to that chaotic day of childbirth.
Dark Planet forces had launched a surprise attack on the Central Star. Arturo went to fight, and both she and Belina were frightened into premature labor.
"Arturo," Isha gripped Arturo’s arm tightly, her expression filled with apprehension.
"Do you think... could there have been some kind of accident back then?"
"Isha."
Arturo hugged Marquis Yisha tightly and comforted her.
"Louisa was delivered by the Chief Medical Officer personally. You saw it."
"The Chief Medical Officer is a respected and virtuous elder. There wouldn’t have been any problems."
"Are you sure there wouldn’t have been any problems?"
"Can’t a respected and virtuous Chief Medical Officer still make a mistake?"
Isha murmured, still unable to let the idea go.
Otherwise, why was it that every time she saw Yu Lan, she could barely restrain the overwhelming urge to embrace her?
It was like seeing a child she had wronged for too long.
Not knowing what to say, wanting only to hold her tightly, forcefully, desperately.
Wishing she could lay the entire world at her feet.
This was the call of their shared bloodline—persistent, resounding, and indelible.
Arturo lowered his gaze and suddenly said,
"Then let’s have someone investigate."
"I’ll send someone to investigate right now."
Even though eighteen years had passed, and no matter how difficult it would be, they had to find out the truth of the matter.
’What is the real story with Yu Lan and Louisa?’
’Could she be our daughter?’

"Marquis Yisha, it’s wonderful to see you again."
Seeing Marquis Yisha and Marshal Arturo disembark from the Starship from a distance, Yu Lan hurriedly went up to greet them.
She extended her hands, and in the next instant, Marquis Yisha eagerly took them in her own.
"Lanlan, I’m very happy to see you too."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yu Lan paused for a moment, not expecting Marquis Yisha to be so forward.
A hint of shyness flashed across her face as she quickly nodded.
"As a matter of fact, there is."
"Would it be alright if we talked as we walk?"
"I’m holding a welcome banquet at the Star Governor Mansion tonight, and I might need your help then, Marquis Yisha."
"It would be my pleasure."
The instant the words left Yu Lan’s mouth, Marquis Yisha nodded in agreement.
She hadn’t even asked what Yu Lan needed her help with.
She simply wanted to please her.
To agree to any condition she proposed.
A long time had passed since their last meeting on the Main Star.
Marquis Yisha thought she had nearly forgotten what Yu Lan looked like, and that strange feeling that welled up from the bottom of her heart.
But seeing her again now, she was shocked to realize she had never forgotten a single second of the time she spent with Yu Lan.
