When Ji Xing woke up again, he saw Ling Sheng playing with his cross in her hand.
Ling Sheng looked down at him. Her sixth sense told her that this object in her hand was definitely something important that could be used to travel between parallel worlds. “Tell me how to use it.”
Ji Xing did not expect that even though she had not regained her memory, she knew that object could be used to travel across different worlds. The expression in his eyes did not change and he only smiled. “What do you mean how to use it? It’s just a useless little thing. If you like it, I can give it to you. Why waste so much effort?”
He had just obtained it not long ago, it was a door that he had painstakingly obtained. In order to meet his wife, he had risked the danger of being discovered and followed the trash fish to obtain it.
He had originally wanted to enter the book to reunite with his wife, but he didn’t expect that the energy of that object would be depleted here. He had to gather energy again before he could activate it again. However, before he could collect the energy, she suddenly returned.
Since Ling Sheng was back, it meant that the world there was about to be destroyed and his wife was about to return. He would not have to spend the effort to nourish that thing with his essence and acc.u.mulate energy in it for him to transmigrate.
“You used this to transmigrate here, didn’t you?” Ling Sheng sneered as her slender, fair fingers caressed the cross in her hand. “Tell me how to use it. I want to go back there.”
“Take it if you like it.” Ji Xing smiled indifferently at her and said, “But can you untie me first?”
“This thing looks pretty exquisite.” Ling Sheng played with the cross casually, secretly observing Ji Xing’s reaction. As expected, she saw a flash of nervousness in his eyes. She reached out and pressed the red gem in the middle of the cross.
“Ling Sheng!” After Ji Xing let out an angry and anxious roar, he exerted strength in his hands and the rope that bound him snapped.
The cross in Ling Sheng’s hand, or more accurately, the gem in the middle of the cross, suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. It was like a light prison that enveloped her, making her feel helpless.
When Ji Xing rushed over, he reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the cross, but it was already too late. The surrounding light suddenly brightened, his eyes squinted, as he shouted again, “Imagine where you want to go!”
Ling Sheng felt her head buzz. Closing her eyes, she thought of home, her son, her grandparents, and her parents.
She heard Ji Xing gritting his teeth and growling, “f.u.c.k, I must have owed debts to you and your husband!”
Then, she felt as if she had been swept into a hurricane. Her body seemed to have been torn apart and rea.s.sembled. The intense pain made her completely lose consciousness.
Ling Sheng had a dream. She dreamed that her father had brought Xiaoqi to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. When the sports car was halfway there, a huge truck suddenly rushed over at the crossroad. With a loud bang, it hit the sports car.
“Dad!” Ling Sheng screamed at the top of her lungs and sat up abruptly.
“Sheng Sheng.” Nangong Lengyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her wake up. She rushed over and hugged her tightly. “You nearly scared Mommy to death.”
Ling Sheng’s eyes were red and swollen as she looked up at her. “Mom, where’s Dad? Where’s Xiaoqi? Where are they?”
Nangong Lengyu’s body suddenly stiffened. Her gaze was as deep as a lake as her voice turned cold. “Your father is already dead.”
“Sheng Sheng, you’re awake.” When Nangong Lun heard her voice, he hurriedly ran in. Seeing that she was fine, he was relieved. “Child, why did you go up in a hot air balloon for no reason? I almost had a heart attack and your mother was scared witless by you.”
Ling Sheng stared blankly at Nangong Lun, who had suddenly appeared. She frowned strangely, feeling that something was amiss. Out of courtesy, she called out, “Old Master Nangong.”
“What old master? I’m Grandpa.” Nangong Lun hurriedly walked forward and instructed his daughter with a worried expression, “Call the doctor back. Is Sheng Sheng scared out of her mind?”
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng vaguely understood and anxiously asked for confirmation, “Where’s Xiaoqi? Mom, do you know Xiaoqi?”
Nangong Lengyu touched her forehead worriedly. She did not have a fever currently, maybe her brain was damaged from the fever just now. “Who is Xiaoqi? Are you dreaming?”
Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a beat and sank. “Mom, where’s my phone? Give me my phone.”
Nangong Lun muttered a few words of worry and called for Uncle Li, asking him to quickly call the doctors back. What was going on? He said that he would be done immediately. After waking up, she started spouting nonsense.
Ling Sheng held her phone and typed the word ‘Huo Ci’ on the search engine. There was a lot of news, all about the Movie King’s new movie that was about to be released.
She heaved a sigh of relief as her vision began to blur. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably due to her excessive excitement and joy. Her father was not dead.
She had made the right bet. Even if everything went back to square one, it didn’t matter. As long as he was still alive, everything would still be in time.
When Nangong Lengyu saw the name she had searched, her eyes turned cold. She looked at her daughter questioningly. “When did you know?”
How did she know that Huo Ci was her biological father? How much did she know? How many things was she hiding from her?
She was afraid of heights to begin with, so she had to sneak into the hot air balloon without her family knowing. However, when she was in mid-air, something happened to the hot air balloon and she fainted.
She had not settled the score with her yet!
“Mom, he’s an actor that I’ve been very fond of recently. He’s the best actor in China. Do you know him?” Ling Sheng’s memories were piled up again. Her memories were very messy, but she quickly sorted them out.
She was not called Ling Sheng now, she was called Nangong Sheng. She was not a child without a mother either and was very happy and carefree. She had a mother, a grandfather, and an uncle who doted on her. She was the little princess of the family.
But she didn’t have a father. Her mother had told her since she was a little girl that she didn’t have a father and that her father was dead. Every time she tried to ask more about him, her mother would lose her temper. Over time, she stopped talking about it.
When Nangong Lengyu heard this, she looked at her suspiciously. Was she really not lying to her? She really did not know about Huo Ci’s relationship with her!
Ling Sheng knew that it was better to avoid trouble at this time. Given the tense relationship between her mother and father, if she were to say that she knew that Huo Ci was her father, they would definitely have a huge fight.
Nangong Lengyu asked her a few more questions. Seeing that she answered her fluently, she felt relieved and went out to get food for her.
Ling Sheng was reading news about Jun Shiyan. There were a lot of things about him on the Internet, she simply extracted the information she wanted to know.. The richest man in the world had a three-year-old son whose mother was unknown.
