Chapter 871: Even Xinghe Could Not Understand Her (2/2)
”What is it?” Mubai turned to face her, his eyes as gentle as the calming sea. The two of them had no secrets; Xinghe did not want to keep anything away from him.
She surveyed their surroundings to make sure no one was around and said softly, ”He said Project Galaxy was designed by my mother.”
As she expected, a flash of surprised appeared in Mubai's eyes. This was pretty much how Xinghe had reacted when she was told the news. Xinghe continued with confidence, ”And I believe him.”
”What else did he say?” Mubai asked in a whisper, his expression back to normal.
Xinghe told him everything. After Mubai heard everything, his curiosity regarding Xinghe's mother was piqued. ”Sounds like she is an incredible woman. Alas, I did not have the chance to meet her.”
”I, too, have not seen her for many years, but my instincts tell me she is still alive, but where has she hidden herself?” Xinghe frowned slightly. ”Why did she do this? What is she up to?”
Mubai also could not understand what Xinghe's mother was thinking. He consoled her, ”Don't worry too much, at least this proves that she does not have much hostility toward this world or else she would not have left you the clue to take down the system. Plus, with her brilliance, I am sure she is surviving just fine. She probably has something she needs to deal with, when she wants to show herself, I am sure she will.”
Xinghe nodded. ”That is one way to look at it. But I still wish to find her and ask her what she's doing all this for face-to-face.”
”Okay, we will search for her together after we return,” Mubai promised. He would support every one of Xinghe's endeavors. Ever since they got together, he had never said no to her.
For some reason, Xinghe felt she was being spoiled by Mubai. Then she laughed to herself, because if that really happened, then Mubai had managed to do something miraculous.
After more consolation from Mubai, Xinghe also decided to put this out of mind for now.
