677 The Showdown of Lu and Lin 11 (1/2)

”Sir, it's Madam Xuanji! Madam Xuanji has woken!” Butler Ye exclaimed.

Madam Xuanji had woken.

Lin Xuanji had woken!

These words left Lu Jinwen stunned. His black eyes narrowed. He gradually lowered his handsome face and met a pair of pristine, bright eyes.

Lin Xuanji opened her eyes. Her eyes were as enchanting and bright as ever. She had been in deep sleep for so many years, and there was not any dust and dirt tainting her eyes. Lu Jinwen could see his own reflection inside.

Lu Jinwen felt that he had become older when compared to her.

He gazed at her deeply. The woman that had been in his dreams day and night had finally regained consciousness.

He looked at her luscious lashes curling upwards. Time seemed to have frozen on her. She was so breathtakingly beautiful.

Her delicate hand grasped the sleeve of his black shirt. Lu Jinwen stretched his palm out and stroked her little face. ”You've woken up, hm?”

His voice was ever so tender when he uttered these words, as if he was afraid of startling this sleeping beauty.

Lin Xuanji glanced at him and retracted her hand. She turned her head around to look at Tang Chenyi.

The bodyguard in black had already released Tang Chenyi. Tang Chenyi was standing on the spot without moving, but his deep almond-shaped eyes had landed on Lin Xuanji's face.

Lin Xuanji got up gradually. She supported herself with a slender arm. Her silky black hair was scattered around messily on her shoulders, accentuating her red lips and white teeth. She was as fresh and beautiful as a young girl.

She extended her hand towards Tang Chenyi.

She was calling for Tang Chenyi.

Tang Chenyi walked ahead and came to the bedside. He gradually hunched his body.

Lin Xuanji stretched her hand out to stroke Tang Chenyi's handsome face. Her tender finger moved towards Tang Chenyi's almond-shaped eyes, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

Lu Jinwen looked at the mother-and-son pair and gradually arched his eyebrows. Ever since she had regained consciousness, she had merely glanced at him once.

And even this glance was impassive, as if she did not even want to look at him at all.

He curved his thin lips sneeringly and said in a hoarse voice. ”I have woken you up not to see the touching scene of both you mother and son acknowledging each other.”

Lin Xuanji did not move. She merely said, ”I've already woken up. You leave first. I will talk to my son now.”

She asked him to leave first.

Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips and left the bamboo hut. Before leaving, he warned, ”My patience is limited. Do not test my patience.”

…

Everyone had left and there was only this mother-and-son pair left in the bamboo hut.

Luminous tears streamed down Lin Xuanji's face. Her face blanched and a stream of blood flowed from her mouth.

She had vomited blood.

Tang Chenyi's expression changed. Why did she vomit blood for no reason?

That year, Lin Xuanji did not die from consuming the Gelsemium elegans. What secret was she harboring in her body?

Under the anxious gaze of Tang Chenyi, Lin Xuanji gradually pressed on her chest with her hand. She was pressing on the area where her heart was.

Something swiftly flashed across Tang Chenyi's eyes. He looked at Lin Xuanji and opened his mouth. Two hoarse words came out from his mouth. ”Mom… Mom…”
