Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi watched the departing couple with narrowed eyes, her gaze flickering slightly. She then turned to walk down another path, meeting a young monk at a crossroads who led her to Ling Mozi’s room.
Ling Mozi had been waiting for a while and only showed a hint of happiness upon seeing Rong Qi arrive. He asked, “Why have you only come now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
His first words were of impatience.
Rong Qi sat down nonchalantly and said, “Do you think I have nothing better to do? What’s the matter?”
Ling Mozi had sent her a message last night, saying he urgently needed to see her. But Ye Nanshen was watching closely, so she hadn’t dared to leave. She had only managed to sneak out today.
Ling Mozi looked at Rong Qi and asked, “Are you pregnant?”
“Yes.”
“And you’re still running around!” Ling Mozi said irritably.
“Wasn’t it you who asked me to come?”
Ling Mozi hesitated, seeming a bit guilty, “Actually, I didn’t have any urgent matters. I was just bored and wanted to chat.”
Rong Qi raised her chin slightly and said, “There are so many people outside waiting for you to tell their fortunes.”
Ling Mozi glanced at the appointment tokens beside him, dismissively saying, “Then I’ll just tell my disciples that I’m not seeing anyone today.”
As Ling Mozi was about to call someone, Rong Qi suddenly spoke, “Wait, meet one person.”
“Who?” Ling Mozi frowned.
“Liang Silai,” said Rong Qi.
Liang Silai, who had followed Ye Minghang to the room, kept her head down, not daring to speak. She felt she had misspoken earlier. Knowing Rong Qi was not to be trifled with, Liang Silai regretted her words, now leading to this awkward situation.
“Minghang,” Liang Silai tentatively called out.
Ye Minghang’s face was stern, and he remained silent.
Liang Silai held his arm and apologized, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have provoked Rong Qi. As she said, we all have our roles. Nanshen is independent of the Ye family, and we are no longer on the same path.”
Ye Minghang looked at the cautious Liang Silai and sighed, “I don’t blame you. It’s my uselessness that gave others the chance to mock me. Silai, am I too weak?”
“No,” Liang Silai immediately denied, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with affection, “To me, Minghang, you are the most outstanding man in the world. No one can compare to you. Minghang, let’s have a child, okay?”
Hearing that, a glint appeared in Ye Minghang’s eyes, and he joked, “Is that why you came today?”
Liang Silai blushed under his gaze.
Just as Liang Silai was trying to decipher his intentions, Ye Minghang said, “Sure, I’d like to have another child too. I’ve heard that Master Zenith is extraordinary. Let’s go and see if he’s different from other monks.”
“Really? Minghang, you want another child too?” Liang Silai asked. A hint of surprise and delight appeared on her face.
Ye Minghang nodded with a smile.
At that moment, the sound of a young monk knocking on the door echoed from outside, “Is Ms. Liang Silai here? Our abbot has sent for you.”
Hearing that voice, Liang Silai could hardly believe it. She knew how difficult it was to meet Ling Mozi, yet here she was, unexpectedly getting the chance so easily.
Liang Silai stood up immediately, a mix of excitement and joy in her voice, “Minghang, I’ll be right back.”
“Go ahead, I’ll wait here for you,” said Ye Minghang.
With a nod and a smile, Liang Silai left with the young monk.
Once Liang Silai was out of sight, Ye Minghang turned away, a thoughtful glint in his eyes..
