Chapter 449: 435, Saint Ronas Town (2)_1
The two siblings, they are the people in this world he least wants to deceive.
He knows he owes them, but there is one person he owes more.
Jian Qing’s nose becoming sour, she couldn’t help but sympathize with the man in front of her.
“You, did you just take back what you said?”
Mo Xiao lowered his head, fist clenched, “I’m sorry, Qingqing, I know I owe you. Whatever I owe you, let me repay in my next life.”
Jian Luo finally caught on to something off, and abruptly grabbed his arm, “Dad, what do you mean by what you’re saying? What next life? What do you want to do?”
Mo Xiao dropped his head down even lower, his voice choked with emotion, “I made Weiwei lonely for too long. I can’t let her be alone anymore.”
His Weiwei would be scared, he couldn’t leave her lonely anymore.
Jian Luo’s heart shuddered, loosening the grip on his hand.
Did he want to join mommy?
Jian Qing looked up, fighting back the mistiness from the corners of her eyes.
She suppressed the emotions welling up inside, and for the first time, hugged him of her own accord.
“Dad, Luoluo and I have already lost mom. Do you want us to go through the pain of losing a loved one again?”
Mo Xiao’s body stiffened, his eyes full of darkness.
He spoke hoarsely, “Qingqing, I’m sorry, but I miss her. I’ve been longing for her for more than twenty years, I really miss her.”
Without Weiwei, his world had already collapsed.
At midnight, his mind was filled with her. In recent times, if it wasn’t for these two kids, perhaps he would have joined her long ago.
Without her, what was supposed to help him get through the next twenty years?
The man’s husky voice echoed his longing, Jian Qing and Jian Luo listened, their hearts heavy with unease.
Jian Qing gently patted his back, speaking softly. “Luoluo and I miss mom too. Dad, even for mom’s sake, could you not abandon Luoluo and I? Mom isn’t with us anymore, wouldn’t you help her in looking after grandpa?”
Without a doubt, if the positions were reversed and it was she and Xiaojing, she would make the same decision as her father. But the man in front of her was her father, and she couldn’t just watch as he disappears from this world. Luoluo and her had already lost their mother, they couldn’t lose him too.
Even if it meant being selfish, she wanted him to stay.
Conflicting emotions flickered in his eyes, and Mo Xiao didn’t speak for a long time.
“Dad, if you abandon us, Luoluo and I, mom wouldn’t be happy either.” Jian Luo slowly said.
Mo Xiao gave a bitter smile. It was an expression more heartbreaking than crying.
Yes, if he abandoned the two treasures that Weiwei had given birth to for him, she would definitely be angry.
But what could he do, what should he do?
In the twilight of consciousness, all he could feel was the cold emptiness. He could no longer hold her in his arms, and he could no longer see her.
“Dad, if you really abandon us, Luoluo and I wouldn’t forgive you, and mom wouldn’t forgive you either.” Jian Qing braced herself and declared.
Mo Xiao’s heart ached for a while, and after a long time, he lifted his hand to embrace her, and closed his icy eyes.
“I promise you.”
Weiwei, I will protect our treasures during my remaining years, and also take good care of your father on your behalf. You should be happy with this, right?
Jian Qing eased her furrowed brow, her gaze meeting Jian Luo’s out of the corner of her eye, the two exchanged smiles.
Downstairs, Ning Feng and Xing Sen anxiously stood at the staircase.
“What did you say to Miss?” Xing Sen’s hands fumbled about nervously. “Why is there no movement at all?”
Ning Feng said, “I just reminded them a little.”
“It’s been almost two hours, why haven’t they come down yet?” Xing Sen’s gaze drifted towards the stairs, mumbling to himself.
“With Miss there, there’s no need to worry too much.” As ever, Ning Feng was more composed compared to him.
If anyone could change the decision of their master, apart from Jian Qing and her brother, there was nobody else.
During the course of their conversation, footsteps could be heard from upstairs.
Jian Qing and Jian Luo accompanied Mo Xiao on either side of him, all three faces sporting a smile.
“Dad, I’m going to accompany Xiaojing to the Quan family old mansion, I’ll leave first.” said Jian Qing.
Mo Xiao nodded, “Be careful on the road.”
She replied with a nod, and departed.
Noticing what was happening, Ning Feng silently followed her.
As if aware that Ning Feng would follow, Jian Qing deliberately slowed her pace.
“Miss!” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Jian Qing halted in her steps and glanced back at him.
“Rest assured!”
With just these three words, Ning Feng’s heart no longer felt heavy.
As he watched her retreating figure, a sense of relief spread across his face, reflecting a relaxed smile.
…
Jian Qing had just come from home when she noticed a silver sports car parked across the road as she arrived at Shijin Haoting.
A smile flashed through her eyes, and she jogged over.
She opened the car door and got in.
“Why did you arrive so soon?”
“I missed my wife.” The man leaned over and helped her with her seat belt.
Then, he sidled over, stole a kiss.
“Rascal!” she playfully scolded.
Quan Jingwu ruffled her hair, settled back into his seat, and started the car.
When they reached the old mansion, Quan Yimo was already home waiting for them.
“Little Qingqing, you haven’t come here in a while.” As soon as Rhee saw Jian Qing, she enthusiastically greeted her, pulling her away from Quan Jingwu.
“I knew you were coming, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some pastries, let me take you to try them.”
Jian Qing gave a light smile, exchanging greetings with Lady Quan and the others.
Quan Yimo stood up, a seriousness evident in his gaze, “Jingwu, let’s talk in the study, grandpa is waiting in there.”
Quan Jingwu nodded, turning his head to remind the person beside him, “Don’t eat too many pastries, you won’t be able to eat lunch.”
“You worry so much.” Rhee scolded playfully, while she assisted Jian Qing.
Quan Jingwu pinched Jian Qing’s cheek, then followed Quan Yimo upstairs.
As soon as the two of them entered the study, Quan’s grandfather was already waiting in a sofa chair.
Quan Yimo followed behind, locking the door behind him.
“You sure arrived early, you little brat.” Quan’s grandfather looked at Quan Jingwu seated across from him, and chastised him with a smile.
Quan Jingwu crossed his legs, and opened his mouth to say, “My wife hasn’t had lunch yet.”
Quan’s grandfather, “…”
So it turns out he came so early just to freeload some food?
He glared at him, and pulled the topic back, “Yimo, what’s the situation over there?”
Quan Yimo’s expression grew serious, “We received news that a few drug dealers’ henchmen have infiltrated Saint Ronas Town. They are spreading the source of the virus, the situation is a little tricky.”
