Chapter 1220 - We Shouldn’t End Like This (1/2)

She had given birth to a daughter.

Xuan Ying’s pupils contracted, he looked at Tang Mo’er in astonishment.

Tang Mo’er looked over at Feng Lingxue, who was now lying in bed. “Silver Mask King, you didn’t hear wrong. Sister Lingxue gave birth to a daughter, her name is Mu Mu.”

Tang Mo’er turned her head, looking at Xuan Ying. “Now you should understand how terribly Sister Lingxue felt towards you. She took everything as her own fault, no matter how you humiliated her, she was still understanding because she hated herself too. She hated how she was so broken, she saw herself as dirty and tainted.”

Xuan Ying clenched his fists tightly by his sides. He hadn’t known, he hadn’t known at all…

What exactly had happened on the day of the coming of age ceremony three years ago? Where was he?

Xuan Ying tried to recall it but his head hurt.

Hiss.

His head really hurt.

Pressing onto his head, why couldn’t he recall a thing? He had no memories of that day at all.

“Where… is that child?” he asked.

“Mu Mu is already dead.”

What?

Xuan Ying felt a twinge in his chest, why did his heart feel so pain for a child that he didn’t even know?

“After Mu Mu’s death, Sister Lingxue went crazy for six months. She had been locked in a dark house by the North Duke. Then one day, Sister Lingxue recovered miraculously after North Duke told her that her Brother Ying was in the Capital and she could go and look for him.

“I’m thinking,” Tang Mo’er felt a little cold, she hugged herself while continuing to say, “You’re the greatest regret in Sister Lingxue’s heart. She can never get over you, she pretended to have recovered and made up a fictitious world for herself. A world where Mu Mu and you were inside.”

Xuan Ying walked over, arriving beside the bed while he lowered his eyes to look at Feng Lingxue. She held that pillow in her arms, her hair tucked behind her ears and she patted the pillow gently. “Be good, Mu Mu. Mommy will sleep with you tonight…”

Xuan Ying lifted his hand, his fingers shaking. He wanted to caress her face, he wanted to caress her child. Then Feng Lingxue suddenly lifted her head, shooting a baleful glare at Xuan Ying. “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch Mu Mu!”

Xuan Ying’s heart ached hearing that, his hand suspended in mid-air as his Adam’s apple bobbed. His voice became gentle as he said, “Lingling, don’t be afraid… I won’t hurt you… I’ll protect you well…”

“Liar!” Feng Lingxue pushed him away forcefully. “You’re a liar, I’ll never believe you! You’re a demon, you’re a human-eating demon!”

Demon.

She called him a demon.

She had already turned out like that but she still remembered that he was a demon.

Xuan Ying shook his head in agony. “I’m not, Lingling, I’m really not…”

He held her shoulder, wanting to pull her into his arms.

“Get lost! Don’t touch me!” Feng Lingxue opened her mouth, biting his arm. She bit really forcefully, almost with the intention of biting off his flesh.

Blood seeped through his shirt.

It hurt so much, not because she bit him but it was his heart aching. Pulling her head onto his chest, he said, “Lingling, I’m sorry… I’m really sorry, I was wrong… You can hit me, scold me, just do anything but please don’t… push me away…”

He nuzzled his defined jaw against her silky hair, leaning forward to kiss her hair.

The more she resisted, the tighter he hugged.

He was about to lose her.

He was going to lose her.

Fear, terror, immense pain came crashing at him. He was just like a piece of wood that was about to drown, only when he hugged her tightly he could manage to breathe.
