Ji Luofei had thought of many ways to calmly ask Ning Cheng why he started like that, but when she saw Ning Cheng, she couldn’t remember any of these beginnings. And when she saw Ning Cheng holding the marriage certificate in one hand and the Qi gathering stone in the other hand looking forlorn and bewildered, she completely forgot in her mind that she had come back to ask Ning Cheng, or that she had come back to see Ning Cheng.
“What’s happened? You are going to give me the marriage certificate and leave alone again?” Ning Cheng stroked Ji Luofei’s hair and felt pity in his heart.
If it was said that when he had just arrived in this world, he still knew that he and Ji Luofei were not from the same world and took the initiative to be willing to break off the marriage. But now, his cultivation level was already far higher than that of Ji Luofei. Moreover, he also had a relationship with Ji Luofei, and he was a person who cherished the emotions of his affliction. It was for this reason that he could not understand why Ji Luofei had left without saying goodbye. Similarly, he was much more relieved that Ji Luofei could come back again.
Feeling Ning Cheng’s generous and warm embrace, Ji Luofei suddenly reached out and stroked the Qi Gathering Stone in Ning Cheng’s hand and said softly, “You still have this?”
“Yes, I still have it.” Ning Cheng felt Ji Luofei’s incomparably messy mood calm down, and he knew that something must have happened in Ji Luofei’s body.
“I ……” Ji Luofei did not know how she should bring up this matter, she had planned to ask Ning Cheng, or even tell him the fact that he already had a child, and then leave quietly. However, she found that she could no longer leave Ning Cheng after seeing him.
Since she could not stay away, she did not dare to say anything about this matter. She believed that her mother would not lie to her, but she was completely unable to accept this ready-made fact. Even just thinking about it, she felt terrifying beyond belief.
Sensing Ji Luofei’s trepidation once again, Ning Cheng suddenly patted Ji Luofei’s back and asked, “Did someone come looking for you?”
“How do you know?” Ji Luofei’s rhetorical question revealed that what Ning Cheng was asking was the truth.
Ning Cheng faintly related, “The one who came looking for you was your aunt? She asked you to make sure to promise the Shui family?”
Ji Luofei shook her head, “No, I would rather trust you than my aunt. In my heart, you are more dependable to me than my aunt.”
“Just follow me ……,” the dependence in Ji Luofei’s heart, or perhaps it had been planted with these words from Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng’s mind was much more deliberate than Ji Luofei’s, and as soon as Ji Luofei said that she trusted herself more, Ning Cheng knew that the one who had come to find Ji Luofei must be Xiong Qihua.
Only Ji Luofei’s mother was closer than her aunt, and only her mother could make Ji Luofei leave herself. And it just so happened that he had met Ji Luofei’s mother and had had an unpleasant experience.
“Your mother came looking for you?” Ning Cheng immediately asked.
Ji Luofei’s body trembled and she hurriedly pushed Ning Cheng away, nodding her head with a somewhat pale face, “Yes, my mother came to look for me, she said she had seen you in Da’an Forest ……”
“That’s right, I did meet your mother in Da’an Forest, and I also ……” Ning Cheng originally wanted to tell Ji Luofei about Zhu Hongwen and Xiong Qihua, but once he thought that this matter must not be a small blow to Ji Luofei, so the words did not come out on his lips.
“Ning Cheng, what you did to my mother …… do you know it was her?” Ji Luofei finished her question with a pale face, secretly trembling as she looked at Ning Cheng. How she expected Ning Cheng to say that it was a lie and that he hadn’t done anything to Mother at all. Again, she unconsciously believed from the bottom of her heart that her mother would not lie to her.
Ning Cheng did not know what Xiong Qihua had said to Ji Luofei as he sighed and said, “Luofei, when I first saw your mother, I knew that she was your mother, Xiong Qihua.”
Ji Luofei was in tears, since she knew it was my mother, why did you still do it? But she couldn’t blame Ning Cheng, she simply didn’t know what she should do now.
Her mother was very deep in Ji Luofei’s memory, but very indifferent in her emotions. At this moment, Ji Luofei even wanted to say to Ning Cheng, “Take me to a place where there is no one to live, and never come out again. But between the lunatics made her unable to say this, and she suddenly felt completely redundant.
Ning Cheng looked at the tearful Ji Luofei and did not know how he should comfort her, so he could only say, “In fact, when I knew that Xiong Qihua was your mother, I did not move against her for your sake. If your mother said that I had hurt her, there was nothing I could do. The reason I didn’t tell you about meeting your mother was not because of guilt, let alone because I had hurt her.”
Ning Cheng guessed that Xiong Qihua might have added fuel to the fire in front of Ji Luofei, saying that he had seriously injured her and then told himself to leave her. Even if Ning Cheng had thought about it, he would never have imagined that Zhu Hongwen’s ploy was countless times more outrageous than what he had thought. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ji Luofei was really hard to let go of Ning Cheng, Zhu Hongwen’s ploy would have already succeeded.
“You said you hadn’t touched my mother? Then you didn’t poison my mother after you saved her, and that child wasn’t yours?” Ji Luofei’s tone trembled as she threw out several questions in a row. Even before Ning Cheng answered, she a*sumed that Ning Cheng was not lying to her.
“Wait ……” Ning Cheng hurriedly stopped Ji Luofei’s question, “When did I ever save your mother? I was just pa*sing by the place where your mother lived in the Daan Forest. I’m not even poisoned, I’m not even afraid of the poisonous gas of the Sand Poison Spiked Beast, how could I be poisoned by ordinary poison? And the baby and all that? What the hell is going on?”
After asking all this, Ning Cheng had already guessed that maybe Xiong Qihua had a child and said in front of Ji Luofei that the child was her own. If that was really the case, this woman really didn’t deserve to be a mother.
Ji Luofei was no fool, and when Ning Cheng’s words were spoken, she immediately knew that it was likely that her mother had lied to her. a*sociated with the unnaturalness of her mother’s speech, and the fact that she had found the resting inn she was in by such a coincidence. Even her mother was with Zhu Hongwen again and did not seem to be very sad about her father’s pa*sing, she fully understood what was going on.
“I’m sorry that I almost left you.” Ji Luofei’s mood was uncontainable and she once again flung herself into Ning Cheng’s arms. To her, she would rather that Ning Cheng had told the truth and that her mother had lied to her.
“Did you also see that Zhu Hongwen when you saw my mother in Da’an Forest?” When Ji Luofei thought of these things, her heart once again felt as if a sharp knife was cutting through it.
Now that she understood the truth of the matter, she realised how many inconsistencies there were in what her mother had said to her at the beginning.
Ning Cheng patted Concubine Ji Luo, he knew that Concubine Ji Luo had already understood what was going on. Since Consort Ji Luo understood, there was no need to continue talking about such matters, “Consort Luo, there is an old saying in my old family that a son does not speak of his father’s faults, so let’s leave this matter at that. I won’t bother to explain the details of this matter either, remember to take my word for it, I haven’t done anything wrong to you or your parents.”
“I believe you.” Ji Luofei was completely calm, except for Ning Cheng, her aunt who was marrying her into the Shui family, and her mother who she had just met who had gone so far as to lie to her for an outsider. At this moment, in her heart, only Ning Cheng was worth trusting. Luckily, deep down in her heart, she still believed in Ning Cheng, otherwise she would not have made another trip back.
“Your old home?” Ji Luofei’s thoughts immediately cleared up without the intrusion of the rest of the matters.
Ning Cheng knew that he had let his mouth slip, he scratched his hair somewhat embarra*singly and said, “It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you slowly later.”
“Well, Ning Cheng, in the future when your cultivation level is high, you can take me to the Daan Forest to pay respect to my father, and then we, we ……” Ji Luofei suddenly thought of her appearance and finally could not say the matter of getting married out loud.
Ning Cheng knew what Ji Luofei meant, he wanted to wait until his cultivation level was high and see if he could return to Earth. It would be so nice if he could have his sister attend when he got married. Moreover, he still had one more thing on his mind, and that was to make sure that Ji Luofei’s appearance was restored.
Feeling Ji Luofei in his arms getting softer and softer, Ning Cheng finally could not help but lower his head and kiss Ji Luofei on the lips. The moment she touched Ning Cheng’s lips, Ji Luofei felt her mind go blank. She subconsciously tightened her arms around Ning Cheng and returned the kiss clumsily.
This was a first for both of them.
