Chapter: 3115

When Ito Nanako asked her question, Song Wanting replied seriously, “I don’t know much about Master Ye’s past. The first time I met him was in our antique shop last year. Jinling isn’t a well-known place, and he comes from a family with low status.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “But Master Ye is young and possesses an amazing antique restoration skill. It really surprised me. I felt that he must have an interesting story behind him.”

Nanako nodded in agreement. “There are many fascinating things about Charlie Wade, but what I’m most curious about is his childhood. Where did he come from? How did he become an orphan? Was he abandoned by his parents at birth, or did he lose them later on?”

Song Wanting frowned, thinking hard. After a while, she shook her head. “I don’t know the truth about that.”

Nanako continued to analyze the situation. “Look, Sister Wanting, Gu Qiuyi mentioned that her childhood sweetheart went missing when she was about five or six years old. The age when she took care of Qiuyi is the same age as Charlie Wade would have been, around seven or eight. Since Gu Qiuyi is from Yanjing, there’s a simple logical connection here: if Charlie Wade grew up in Jinling, he wouldn’t have crossed paths with Gu Qiuyi as a child, which means he can’t be her prince charming. This means our instincts might be wrong.”

She paused, then added, “But if Charlie Wade isn’t from Jinling, then the chance of him being Gu Qiuyi’s prince charming increases significantly! If that’s true, it suggests that Charlie Wade must have originally come from Yanjing.”

Seven or eight years old when he came to Jinling,” Song Wanting said thoughtfully. She nodded and added, “If Master Ye was in the orphanage at that age, then our timeline fits.”

“Exactly,” Nanako Ito replied quickly. “Sister Wanting, you have connections in Jinling. Can you ask someone to check the records of the Jinling Welfare Institute?”

Song Wanting paused for a moment. “Checking the records shouldn’t be hard, but what if Master Ye finds out we’re looking into him? He has a lot of connections in Jinling. I’m worried he’ll know if I ask someone to check.”

“That’s true…” Nanako said, thinking fast. “But didn’t you agree to work with Charlie Wade’s wife on some projects?”

“Yes,” Song Wanting confirmed. “What about it?”

Nanako jumped in with an idea. “You just need to meet her! Ask her how old Charlie Wade was when he was in the orphanage. If you ask nicely, she probably won’t suspect anything. This way, we can find out what we need to know!”

Song Wanting smiled and said, “Great! I’ll invite Mrs. Ye to chat tomorrow.”

Then, she looked at Nanako, puzzled. “But… Nanako, why is this so important to you?”

Nanako replied earnestly, “Sister Wanting, this matters to me because I love Charlie Wade completely. I can’t help but want to learn more about his past. I know it’s selfish, but I just can’t control it.”

Song Wanting let out a soft sigh and said, “Who isn’t curious? I want to know more about Master Ye, the one who has saved me time and time again and keeps appearing in my dreams.”

Feeling more determined, she added, “Tomorrow, I will try to find some clues!”
