âUncle, Mother will be sad if you continue to be like this. Xia Xia doesnât want Mother to be sad. If Mother is unhappy, our whole family will not be happy.â
âUncle?â
Liu Yinyinâs breathing grew heavy. Her face paled as she took a few steps back.
âWhy did Feng Ruqingâs daughter... Call him uncle?â
âQing...â
The young man lowered his eyes and looked at Feng Ruqingâs face. âQingqing?â
Tears almost fell from her eyes.
However, she held it back.
âYes... Iâm here.â
âQingqing...â
The longsword slipped out of the young manâs hand. His heart ached as his eyes fell upon Feng Ruqingâs bleeding palm. âQingqing...â
He kept murmuring her name.
It seemed that he could only remember her name.
Feng Ruqing raised her hand and pulled the young man into her arms.
âHeâs so thin now. I donât know what he has gone through in the past two years...â
âChenâer, come home with me.â
âAlright...â
The young manâs voice was a little hoarse, and he looked at Feng Ruqing unblinkingly.
âMaster Feng!â
Liu Yinyin panicked and dashed up, trying to block the way.
âMaster Feng, what about me? You promised my grandfather...â
He promised to take care of her for the rest of her life...
Feng Ruqing looked at Liu Yinyin with a puzzled gaze, she frowned. âChenâer, who is she?â
Feng Chen looked at Liu Yinyin and shook his head. âI donât know her.â
âYou donât know her?â
Feng Ruqing was stunned and pointed to Nan Xian. âWho is he? Do you still remember him?â
Feng Chen looked puzzled. He raised his eyes to look at Nan Xian, pondered for a short while. âI donât remember him.â
Feng Ruqing froze. âSo Chenâer does not know anyone except me?â
Nan Xian took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from somewhere and applied it to Feng Ruqingâs palm.
The wound in her palm healed at speed, visible to the naked eye.
âQingâer, take Chenâer away now. I have some things to take care of. Iâll catch up soon.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright...â
Feng Ruqing did not ask more questions. She took Xia Xiaâs hand with one hand and grabbed Feng Chen with the other, smiling faintly. âChenâer, letâs go home first.â
âMm.â
Feng Chen nodded obediently, like a child, and followed Feng Ruqing. A smile appeared on his face.
The smile was warm like the spring breeze.
Nan Xian turned to Liu Yinyin after Feng Ruqing and Feng Chen had left.
He walked toward her slowly. His cold face made her heart panic.
âYou...â
Liu Yinyin trembled, and she seemed somewhat frightened as she looked at Nan Xian.
Nan Xian was expressionless. âFirst, you stopped me from leaving, but I stayed to save Feng Chen.
âThen, you tried to stop Feng Chen and me from saving Qingâer, but I was in a hurry to get to her, so I didnât have time to deal with you.
âThis is the third time you have tried to stop us again, and...â
Nan Xian sounded indifferent.
âYou spoke ill of Qingâer!â
