"Qing Min, you also feel so?" Grandpa Lu asked back.
"Yea, but I guess it is just the problems with a common face." Lu Qing Min replied while holding grandpa Lu.
"Mm, let"s go don"t make people wait for us."
At the dining table.
"Mo Xi, firstly, thank you for helping all of us that year. Secondly, thank you for helping Jin Sheng." Lu Qing Min said as he raised his gla.s.s to toast to Mo Xi.
Mo Xi stood up with her gla.s.s immediately as she wasn"t used to having an elder thanking her.
"No, no, no. This is not necessary, I did it for my sake as well, please take a seat."
Lu Qing Min sat down on Mo Xi"s request and asked, "Mo Xi, I heard from Jin Xiao that you were in Country Y all this while, are your parents there as well?"
"Uh… I do not know where my birth parents are, I grew up as an orphan since I was twelve. Before that, there was someone who took care of me since my birth."
"Oh, then where is the person that took care of you? Where did you live in after twelve?" Ye Juan An asked curiously.
"He… pa.s.sed away when I was twelve. After that, I lived in a school dormitory."
"Ah… Mo Xi, do you want to become my daughter?" Ye Juan An asked seriously.
"Huh?"
"Our family pays attention to loyalty, and since you helped us so much, it is only fair that we take you as our own family. Furthermore, I really like you a lot, and I really hope to have a daughter, so it would be great if you can become my daughter."
"Yes! Yes! That"s what I think too!" Grandma Lu said excitedly.
"No, it"s fine, I didn"t do it for rewards."
"Are you despising us that"s why you are rejecting us?" Grandpa Lu asked.
"Ah?! No, no, no. It is nothing of the sort…"
"Then be our daughter," Lu Qing Min added on.
Mo Xi turned to look at Jing Mo Chen for help, "Since they really like you, then just agree on it."
However, Mo Xi couldn"t accept it because she doesn"t know where her family was. She was worried that she would bring trouble to them if her aunt finds her and harm Lu family.
"No. I cannot accept this."
"Uh… Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, let"s eat first!" Lu Jin Xiao noticed the awkward tension in the air.
"Mm."
After dinner. Lu Jin Xiao asked Lu Jin Sheng and Jing Mo Ling to leave first because he knew that his parents wanted to ask Mo Xi about the past.
"Grandpa Lu, grandma Lu, uncle Lu, and aunt Lu. I have to say sorry about what happened just now, but I really cannot agree."
"Can you tell us why?" Grandpa Lu asked as he noticed that Mo Xi seems to have a reason for not agreeing with the suggestion.
"As I have said before, I don"t know where my family is. The only thing that I heard from the person, who took care of me, was that my aunt wanted to kill me. However, because of some unknown reason, the drug that she used on my mother to make my mother have a miscarriage caused me to be born early instead of dead. If I were to agree with you all, and one day my aunt finds me and she harms you all, I would not be able to forgive myself."
Everyone in the house went quiet after they heard Mo Xi"s explanation.
"This is all the more a reason why you should be our daughter, that way we can protect you." Ye Juan An said as she held Mo Xi"s hands.
Mo Xi took a deep breath as she felt a warm feeling flooding her heart, "I will be very honest with you all. I am a dangerous person as well. I know you all want to know the truth about what happened five years ago as well, so give me some time to explain."
Everyone looked at Mo Xi questioningly as they saw that Mo Xi seems to be contemplating whether to speak the truth or not.
Jing Mo Chen was sitting there quietly unlike the others since he already knew the truth. He was glad that Mo Xi was opening herself up to other people because from what he knows Mo Xi would never let other people read her emotions so clearly. Except for him, she would hide her emotions from others so well such that no one would be able to tell.
"My original name is Mu Xi Xing, the person who brought me up was the doctor who took charge of my birth mother"s pregnancy. He was forced to drug my mother to kill me because someone threatened his family"s life and he needed money for their family. Hence, with the drug that he gave, I was born dead. On the very day I was born, he lost his wife who was giving birth to their daughter. Their daughter died that very dead as well. In a single night, as though it was retribution, he lost his whole family. Then, he came back to look at me, he realized that I managed to start breathing once again. With the guilt and the loneliness of losing his family, he decided to raise me. He brought me to Country Y to keep me safe from my aunt and to treat my poor health. He said that I was born on the New Year"s Eve, and since the stars were beautiful that night, he decided to call me Mu Xi Xing. He wanted to keep this a secret his whole life, however, I am not sure if it was because of the drug or fate, I was born with a special pair of eyes. My eyes can see whatever people are thinking, I may not be able to see the exact thought, but I could see if they were good or bad. If you were lying, I could see. If you were thinking about something, I could see what you were thinking. Murderous thoughts as well. Furthermore, I also had incredible senses. I could detect how many people are there without seeing, I could detect a trace amount of poison and everything else that requires the five senses."
