AST 2330 – Reunion, Return, Conclusion
In all honesty, she had been burying her thoughts all this while. In front of this man, she didn’t have any outstanding qualities and so she had never revealed her feelings. Instead, she kept it all in her heart like a wonderful memory.
She didn’t expect Qing Shui would say these words to her, and she froze for a moment, completely surprised by his gesture.
She had felt something different about Qing Shui’s gaze since the first time they had met. Eventually, she had found out that it had been all due to her resemblance to someone he knew. She stretched out her hand and curled it around Qing Shui’s neck, a shy smile on her face.
“I already said this rascal had his sights on the girl. See, it’s all exposed now!” Sou Hun snickered.
“She’s my wife in our previous life. To meet her again in this life must have been Heaven’s will for us to wed again,” Qing Shui said gleefully.
Li Yan’s relaxed body jolted at that, not expecting his words. Gently, she removed herself from his embrace and gazed up at Qing Shui. “I don’t wish to be another person’s replacement.”
Qing Shui rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly. “Actually, she wasn’t my wife in my previous life; she didn’t like me. She was already attached to someone when I met her.”
“Do you like me because you want to fulfill your wish? A dream is just a dream; it’s different from reality.” Li Yan did not have any wish in becoming a replacement.
“You’re thinking too much in that little head of yours. Am I such a person?” Qing Shui reached a hand out to stroke her head.
Li Yan peeled his hand off, obviously annoyed. “You’re not allowed to stroke my head.”
Thereafter, Qing Shui continued drinking for a bit before bidding farewell to their company. He rushed towards the Qing Clan with the Chi Yang couple. Qing Shui understood how anxious they were, hence, he only stayed at Sou Hun for a while before heading to the Qing Clan.
Arrival at the Qing Clan!
Not much time had passed since his last visit to the Qing Clan. Moreover, the Qing Clan had the protection of their Guardian Beast now, along with a strong warrior like Yehuang Guwu. Within the Dancing Phoenix Continent, Qing Clan was invincible.
Qing Shui didn’t give any warning before his return. At the sight of him, the members of the Qing Clan froze before breaking out into a chorus of surprise.
In just a short moment, they gathered over while Qing Shui introduced the Chi Yang couple to the clan members. It was then when Qing Shui tugged a young man and lady over.
In all honesty, Chi Yang and his wife both realized that they were their own children during the introduction. Children whom they had separated from for decades.
“Foster Father!”
Chi Ao and Chi Feng respected Qing Shui very much and were close to him, especially Chi Feng. She hugged his arm like a little girl.
“They are your real parents, are you happy?” Qing Shui smiled.
“Actually, we really did want to know who our parents were. After all, we have been abandoned and we’d like to know why. Other than that, we didn’t have many thoughts about it. We are used to it. Foster Father, you’re our father. Grandmother and Foster Mother are like blood relatives to us too,” Chi Feng said calmly with a chuckle.
“Girl, don’t you want to know what happened? Your parents abandoned you both to give you a chance at living. They have been surviving on a fine line between life and death all these years, suffering and tolerating through how much they miss you both.” Qing Shui was a father too; he knew how hard it must have been for them to make that decision at that time.
