Mu Ru Yue didn’t want to agree to his request, but seeing that expectant gaze of his stopped her from saying ‘no’. It was as though she didn’t want to see his disappointed gaze.

  At this moment, Mu Ru Yue thought about her own son that had been captured by Nangong Zi Feng.

  To be truthful, she really didn’t have any memories about that toddler with a jade-like crafted face. The first time she saw that kid was when she witnessed Nangong Zi Feng’s memories.

  Zi Qian Jing made her think about the little fella that was sealed by Nangong Zi Feng. His eyes were especially similar to that kid’s. How could she reject his tiny request…


  Zi Qian Jing’s gaze dimmed as he chuckled bitterly.

  ‘Mother doesn’t remember me and is deeply in love with father so how can she hug another guy? I just long for that previously gentle embrace; that’s why I requested such a tall order…’


  “I’m sorry. I overstepped my boundaries.”


  Suddenly, Zi Qian Jing’s body shuddered as he looked in shock at the girl embracing him. It was as though a warm ray of light enveloped him, instantly making all the pain and sorrow that accumulated these years vanish.

  He closed his eyes gradually. A satisfied smile graced his heavenly face.

  ‘This is enough…


  ‘I will just stay by her side until her memories return, even if mother doesn’t remember me.’


  ??

  The moonlight shone onto a girl’s captivating, but not impeccable face in a room. She suddenly opened her eyes as a trace of coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

  “Who?!”


  “It is me, Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying. I am Zang Qing Xue of the Zang family. I would like to discuss something with Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying.”


  ‘Zang Qing Xue?’


  Lin Ruo Ying frowned slightly. ‘Why did Zang Qing Xue come here? Moreover, isn’t she too terrified of Yao Yun Qing that she doesn’t even dare to come to the academy? Why has she come here so late in the night?’


  “Come in.”


  Lin Ruo Ying smoothed her dress as she said indifferently.

  The door to the room was pushed open gently. Zang Qing Xue, who was in a cyan pleated skirt, dashed into the room. Lin Ruo Ying’s brows creased slightly, annoyed by the clinking of those dangling earring accessories.

  “Why have you sought for me?”


  “It is like this, Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying.” Glimmers danced in Zang Qing Xue’s eyes as she said respectfully, “I have heard of Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying’s matters. The academy had rumoured that Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying and Elder Apprentice Brother Wu Chen are a fated couple with compatible looks that evoke people’s jealousy. You’re really a divine couple that nobody in the world can match up to. If you have a son and daughter pair in the future, they will definitely be peerlessly beautiful and astonishing.”


  At the beginning, Lin Ruo Ying was annoyed by Zang Qing Xue’s word as she had listened to these comment frequently and didn’t feel anything about them anymore. However, her last statement made her expression relax slightly.

  What a woman wanted the most in her life was to find an outstanding husband and give birth to offsprings. Lin Ruo Ying wasn’t excluded from that…


  “Zang Qing Xue, just tell me why you looked for me.”


  “Elder Apprentice Sister Ruo Ying” Zang Qing Xue hid her malevolence by lowering her gaze and smiled gently as she said, “Nobody in the academy doesn’t know that Elder Apprentice Sister is deeply in love with Elder Apprentice Brother Wu Chen. Since that is the case, Elder Apprentice Sister must know that he came from outside the Central Region and I had coincidentally come to know of him from outside the Central Region!”


  “What did you say?”


  Lin Ruo Ying stood up abruptly. Her eyes no longer remaining calm and collected.

  “Is what you said the truth? What else do you know?”
