Chapter 1835: Waiting For A Perfect Opportunity
Nan Xian wrapped his arms around Feng Ruqing’s waist.
“You’ve remembered now?”
“I once had a dream about that.”
Feng Ruqing closed her eyes. “In that dream… I also saw Xia Xia…”
Nan Xian frowned, staring at Feng Ruqing blankly.
Feng Ruqing turned to look at the courtyard behind her. “Chiyou… She used that name back then. In that dream, the Ninth Emperor promised her that she would wait for Chiyou… To reunite with her again. She is my daughter now and will stay by my side forever.”
In the dream, even though the Ninth Emperor said nothing, she still could feel her guilt and pain.
If she could have come a moment earlier, she might have been able to save Chiyou.
Unfortunately…
She was late.
“Moreover, Chiyou was a member of Tianling Clan in her previous life.”
‘Tianling Clan?’
Nan Xian’s eyes sank. “Is this the reason why Nine Gate wants to capture her?”
“Well, maybe…” Feng Ruqing pursed her lips. “Nine Gate must know something. That’s why they want to take Xia Xia. I don’t care who Xia Xia was back then. She is my daughter now, and I want to watch her grow up and stay with me forever.”
Nan Xian looked at the woman’s determined look. He smiled faintly, raised his hand, and touched Feng Ruqing’s forehead.
“You attracted a lot of women in your previous life…”
Feng Ruqing was stunned.
“Nan Changfeng was so useless that he failed to stop those women from approaching you.”
‘Nan Changfeng…’
This name kept coming up in her mind.
She frowned and rubbed her temples.
However, no matter how hard she tried to recall it, she could not remember who he was…
Fortunately, Feng Ruqing was not such a persistent person. She would not overthink something that she could not remember.
No matter how great the Ninth Emperor and Nan Changfeng, it was all in the past. She only knew that the person she needed to cherish now was Nan Xian.
Feng Ruqing hugged the man in front of her. A smile lifted on her stunning face. She stood on tiptoe, bringing her mouth closer to his, and kissed the man’s lips gently…
***
These days, Nan Luo stayed in her room resting. She did not come out and cause any trouble.
She still had that foul smell, and it made people stay away from her.
However, the moment she stepped out of the courtyard, her eyes instantly fell upon the couple kissing in front of her. She froze, and her breathing grew heavier…
Obviously… She was disappointed. She felt searing heat in her chest as if she had been stabbed.
‘If… Aunt Suyi had not left the Nan family back then, would Nan Xian have been born in the Nan family?
‘Then, the first person he would have known was me, and… The person he liked would have been me… There would never have been a second person in his life.’
Nan Luo lowered her gaze, covering the sadness and pain in her eyes.
Unfortunately, there was no ‘if’s’…
Because of her aunt’s departure, she had lost this opportunity.
She glanced at the two people embracing each other before her once again, bit her pale lip, and turned to walk away.
She stumbled a bit, her face was pale, and there was a pain in her eyes.
However, Nan Luo understood that all her effort would be useless if she went to him now.
‘It’s fine…
‘I can wait…’
She would wait for a perfect opportunity.
