She looks like me
Qin Yan laughed bitterly and shook her head, "I'm not. I'm from C Nation."
"Oh, I see. You're a guest from far away and we find each other familiar. Perhaps we have seen one another in our previous lives, young lady. Am I right?"
Qin Yan could only smile, "Yeah, maybe."
Qin Yan said, "Well, Aunty, I have to go. See you!"
"Okay, young lady. See you," She watched Qin Yan leave, still feeling puzzled. This young lady somehow looked so familiar.
Qin Yan walked out and was also shocked. Besides her own people, there were also some strange women outside. She paused and then remembered that the lady seemed to be from some wealthy family too. These women must have been hers. She turned back to look again, then quickly left with her bodyguards.
Meanwhile, inside…
The lady felt giddy and leaned against the side of the door to rest. She did not keep track of the time.
Just then, a bodyguard quickly entered.
"Madam, Madam, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The lady shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm fine. You are too worried about me. Perhaps the air here is not too good, so I'm feeling a little dizzy."
"If Sir sees you faint here, he'll definitely worry. Please come out with me."
The bodyguards quickly held Fang Zichen up.
Han Cheng was indeed getting impatient. He quickly walked to her, "Zichen, what took you so long?"
Fang Zichen said, "I'm fine, I'm just feeling some discomfort. But I'm better now."
Han Cheng's expression changed, "Come here quick. Let me take a look."
"I'm really fine. Don't be so worried. It makes me anxious too."
He still inspected her closely. Once he confirmed that she was fine, he relaxed. "Come on, let's go home."
"Okay."
As both of them walked out, she said, "Oh yes, I met someone just now and I feel so strange."
Han Cheng asked, "Who?"
"It was a girl in the washroom. When I saw her, I thought that she looked familiar. She said that she wasn't from M Nation, so I've probably never met her. But why does it still feel so weird?"
Han Cheng's expression stiffened as he stopped in his tracks.
"Who did you meet?"
"She said that her name is Qin Yan. Have we met her?" Fang Zichen asked.
Han Cheng's expression was unreadable. He stood there silently for a long while.
This puzzled her more. "Hello? Is everything okay?"
"Let's go home first," Han Cheng held her arm, walking intimately with her.
Behind them were attendants who were already used to this scene. Their sir was especially careful and doting to his wife. Even though they did not have any children, they remained so loving all these years. They could not help but admire his devotion.
Back at the Han household…
When Fang Zichen was asleep, Han Cheng then went to the study room. He put his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time. He then said, "Bring Madam's documents to me."
"Yes, Sir."
He poured over the documents and took out one file.
Fang Zichen, 54 years old, had no children and was born in C Nation. She relocated to M Nation when she was 12 years old. She graduated from Sanming Women's University…
The documents had no trace of her past.
Actually, if Qin Yan hadn't come and reminded Fang Zichen of a familiar face, he wouldn't have suspected anything wrong about the information he had.
However, the moment he and Fang Zichen looked at Qin Yan, while Fang Zichen just found her familiar, Han Cheng could tell at a glance that she was a younger version of his wife. She was same, exactly same. However, he could not understand how could this be possible. It seemed that there were things that only Xi Ting could answer now.

Qin Yan and Xi Ting returned to the hotel together. Qin Yan was still thinking about it along the way. She did not know what was causing this chaos in her mind. It was as if something was being dug up and this made her suspicious.
Just then…
She thought about Fang Zichen's face and suddenly found it extremely familiar. Her eyes flashed with inspiration. That face. She had seen it before.
She grabbed hold of Xi Ting, "Ah Ting, I've recalled."
Qin Yan's heart was rushing at the incredible revelation. She could not believe it.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yan pulled Xi Ting over and said, "Just now, in the washroom, I bumped into a lady and I thought she looked very much like someone I knew but I couldn't think at the top of my head. It just suddenly occurred to me. It's because she looks like me."
Stunned, Xi Ting suddenly paused.
"The person you saw. What's her name?" Xi Ting asked strictly.
"Oh… Fang Zichen."
"What did you say her name was?"
"Fang Zichen," Qin Yan repeated.
Xi Ting frowned. The more he thought about it, the more confused did he become. He was investigating about Su Cen. However, where did this Fang Zichen come from. While thinking, a thought struck Xi Ting's mind suddenly.
"That person… She is Han Cheng's wife."
"Huh? Who? It's… that man I saw previously?"
"That's right. He's the one from the dinner."
"Oh, how strange, how strange that there is someone else who looks so alike on earth. There are some differences, but she still looks very similar."
Xi Ting said, "Yes… It is miraculous."
"Alright, don't think so much. You should rest. We can think about it again tomorrow."
Qin Yan nodded and leaned on Xi Ting's shoulder, "I'm so tired today. I am so exhausted because of your secretary's matter today. It was all your fault. Come and serve me. You need to soothe my aching muscles."
As she said this, she hooked her arms around his neck and pointed at her calves.
"How do I serve you?" Xi Ting said as he leaned forward. The devilish smile on his face harbored a different meaning.
Qin Yan pushed him away, "I've been on my feet the whole day so you need to rub my legs. Come on, come on."0
"…" Xi Ting asked, "You want me to massage your legs?"
"Of course. Isn't this what a husband should do?" She leaned back and looked at him triumphantly.
Xi Ting shook his head and looked at her speechlessly. However, he stretched out his hands and began pressing her calves, "Is it aching here?"
"Yes yes," Qin Yan felt his huge hands moving on her legs.
Xi Ting asked, "Is this okay?"
"Yes yes, it's nice. It feels perfect," Qin Yan giggled.
Xi Ting glared at her as his hands continued massaging her. Xi Ting had good arm strength and grip strength. Thus, his massages had the right amount of strength such that it felt extremely good.
It looked like his usual training did not go to waste. She sighed in enjoyment.
Someone wanted to come in but was stopped by Xi Ting's men outside.
The person outside said, "Sir requested for these documents."
The bodyguards gave him a look and peered inside the room. Xi Ting was actually massaging Madam's feet.
That person quickly took a glance and turned away.
When Xi Ting was done, the person then entered, "Sir, the documents you requested are here."
Xi Ting nodded and said to Qin Yan, "Okay, go take a rest. I'll join you soon."
He went beside Qin Yan's ear and whispered, "I served you well just now. Later, it'll be your turn to serve me."
"…" Qin Yan blushed and pushed him away.
Xi Ting laughed and walked out.
Once outside, the mood was no longer casual. Instead, he walked solemnly into another room.
"How is it?"
"Sir, all the information is here. Han Cheng's wife, Fang Zichen, had never stayed C Nation for such a long time. She moved to M Nation more than ten years ago."
Xi Ting said, "Impossible. She must have something to do with Qin Yan."
It couldn't all be just a coincidence.
Su Cen… Fang Zichen…
How exactly were they related?
Xi Ting's eyes hardened, "Investigate further."
*
The next afternoon.
In the study, several people waited the entire morning but unexpectedly, Xi Ting did not wake up early.
Xi Ting looked at them. "How was the investigation?"
"Sir, Han Cheng was really protective, it was difficult for us to check."
"I don't want to hear about the process. I only want the outcome." Xi Ting knew it was not easy, but he had to have the results.
Upon seeing Xi Ting's face change, a few of them mentally froze and immediately said, "But we managed to get out how because she has no children, she adopted an orphan from an orphanage and will volunteer there every week."
"Oh… Every week?"
"Yes, the orphanage is here."
Xi Ting paused slightly and thought of something.
After Qin Yan woke up, Xi Ting said, "Today, let's go out and walk around."
"Oh, where are we going?"
"We will go somewhere a bit further today. Come, let's go."
