How Could I Possibly Have a Daughter After Reincarnating?

“Xiao Ya!”

Ling Ning called out instinctively. That familiar scent and face—though a little more youthful than she remembered from their first meeting—there was no mistaking it. This girl was undoubtedly her past-life girlfriend, Su Ya.

She had wondered before if Su Ya might also exist in this world. After all, Xiao Xiao had already appeared. But she never imagined their reunion would happen so suddenly, right here.

Hearing someone call her, the beautiful girl paused and turned her head, looking curiously at Ling Ning. Upon first glance, her eyes flickered with amazement, followed by confusion.

She didn’t seem to recognize Ling Ning, yet the way she’d been addressed—“Xiao Ya”—felt intimate, as though they were close friends or family. Still, Su Ya was sure she didn’t know this person. Or… did she? Upon closer inspection, there was something vaguely familiar about her. But from where?

“Um… do we know each other?” Su Ya asked hesitantly, then quickly added, “I mean no offense. You just seem to recognize me, so I wondered if we’ve met before.”

Her words struck Ling Ning like a bucket of cold water, instantly quenching her initial excitement. Of course. This wasn’t her original world. Even if she knew Su Ya, Su Ya didn’t know her. All the experiences they had shared existed only in Ling Ning’s memory.

Now, she was no longer the person she used to be. To Su Ya, she was a complete stranger. This gap—a closeness in her heart but an unbridgeable distance in reality—left Ling Ning with a bitter understanding of what her childhood friend had felt. That chasm was truly painful.

Luo Xiaoyu and Lin Xi silently observed from nearby. A moment ago, they had been discussing their plans for the afternoon when Ling Ning suddenly approached the passing girl.

At first, they assumed it was someone Ling Ning knew. But from the conversation so far, it seemed like Ling Ning recognized the girl, yet the feeling wasn’t mutual. Something about Ling Ning’s expression felt off, so they remained quiet, choosing to watch for now.

“Is something wrong?” Su Ya asked, noticing Ling Ning’s silence.

Ling Ning gave a bitter smile. “No… it seems I mistook you for someone else. By the way, my name is Ling Ning. May I ask for yours?”

“Su Ya—Su, as in Su Shi, and Ya, as in elegance. Wait a second… you’re Ling Ning!?” Su Ya’s face lit up with surprise as recognition dawned upon her.

“You… know me?” Ling Ning asked, her voice trembling with excitement.

“Of course! You were on the cover of Goddess two issues ago—absolutely stunning! I never imagined I’d run into you here. Are you also a student at S University?”

Su Ya’s expression turned excited as she looked at Ling Ning, practically ready to pull out a pen and ask for an autograph.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Ling Ning forced a smile. “I didn’t realize I was that famous.”

“Are you kidding? You’re super famous! I absolutely loved your cover for Bride last issue—I even set it as my phone wallpaper! Plus, you’ve got an online fan club. I’m one of the founding members!”

Beaming, Su Ya pulled out her phone to show Ling Ning the wallpaper: a photo of her in a stunning white wedding gown, radiating elegance and beauty. It was one of Ling Ning’s favorite photoshoots.

“Thank you.”

As Ling Ning was about to ask more about Su Ya’s current life, Su Ya suddenly waved toward someone behind her. “Xie Zeyu! Over here!”

Ling Ning instinctively turned and saw a tall, handsome young man approaching. Upon hearing Su Ya’s call, he gave a gentle smile and walked toward them.

“Ling Ning, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Xie Zeyu.”

“Xie Zeyu, this is Ling Ning—the one I’ve been telling you about! I’m so excited to meet her in person!”

Xie Zeyu’s expression turned slightly surprised upon realizing who Ling Ning was. He then gave her a warm smile. “Hello, I’m Xie Zeyu, Su Ya’s boyfriend.”

At the same time, he discreetly appraised Ling Ning, his gaze briefly showing admiration. If he didn’t already have someone he cared about, he might have been tempted.

“I didn’t agree to be your girlfriend yet. Don’t say such things.”

“H-Hello,” Ling Ning replied stiffly. She wanted to smile politely, but the words had hit her like a punch to the gut—no, more like a power drill boring into her soul.

Her mind screamed at her to respect Su Ya’s current life, to not interfere. But her heart was in turmoil, seething with frustration and jealousy. She wasn’t a saint, and this was unbearable.

Not officially dating? Then it’s not official! Ling Ning thought fiercely. And even if they were—so what? NTR is always an option!

Su Ya was hers. No one could take her away—not now, not ever!

Seeing Ling Ning fall silent again, Su Ya tilted her head in confusion. “Is something wrong?”

Ling Ning smiled faintly. “No, it’s nothing. I just remembered I have something to take care of. By the way, could I get your phone number? Maybe we can hang out sometime?”

Without any hesitation, Su Ya recited her number. After confirming it, Ling Ning wasted no time pulling Lin Xi and Luo Xiaoyu along as they left.

Why was Ling Ning so confident? In her previous life, it had taken Su Ya three months to agree to hold hands, a year after that to share their first kiss, and another year before taking the next step. Su Ya’s conservative nature gave Ling Ning plenty of reassurance.

Still, this wasn’t the same world. The possibility of deviations in the timeline was real, making her NTR plan more urgent than ever.

As Xie Zeyu chatted with Su Ya, a sudden chill ran down his spine. A vague sense of foreboding crept into his thoughts.

In a world where everything is either yuri or BL, how could heterosexuality even exist?
