Jing Tian nodded. “Dad, I’m well aware of that.”
Old Master Jing glared at us, his breathing getting heavier.
Jing Ning hurried to help Old Master Jing and said, “7th Uncle, you need to stop angering Grandpa.”
The corners of Jing Tian’s lips curled up slightly. “Dad, if you want to stick the crime of being unfilial on me, then so be it.”
Old Master Jing clenched his fists. The father and son stared at each other for dozens of seconds without backing down.
In the end, it was Old Master Jing who spoke first. “Fine, today is Jing Ning’s big day. We will talk about your matters when we go home.”
“Grandpa…” Jing Ning still hadn’t given up.
Old Master Jing glanced at him. “What? Do you want to settle your 7th uncle’s affair on your own wedding?”
Jing Ning shut his mouth sullenly.
Jing Tian put his arm around my shoulder. “Is there anything else you want to say?”
I shook my head lightly and didn’t say anything.
“Let’s go, then.” He didn’t say anything to the others and led me away.
…
Instead of following Jing Tian to his own, I returned to my little uncle’s home.
I went straight to the bedroom, rushed into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.
I needed to calm down. This situation was something I had not faced in my previous life so I did not know how to deal with it. Most importantly, I had no idea how it would end. In my previous life, Jing Tian and I did not reach this point.
However, now that this problem was looking at me, I had to admit that my heart was in a panic.
In my previous life, Jing Tian said that no one could interfere in our affairs. I believed in him!
However, in my previous life, there was less for us to lose. At that time, I was already abandoned by the whole world. I only had Jing Tian in my eyes. As long as I was with him, I did not care about anything else. I knew that the man loved me and I loved him too. He was the only light in my miserable life.
But this time, things were different.
Because I loved him, he had to bear a lot of things that he would not have to.
I peeled off my wet clothes and soaked myself in the cold shower. I wanted the chill to douse out the fire in my heart. I could burn myself through that fire but I did not want Jing Tian to burn down into ash because of me.
The pain in my heart made Nanxing from the previous life reappear. The pain when I was depressed and crazy mirrored the pain that I felt now. It was a feeling that made me feel like I was sinking into hell.
The water was icy cold but I could not feel it. I even thought that it would not be so bad to die there in the shower.
If I die, perhaps I would return to that broken Nanxing. That would not be a bad thing either.
The chilling frost caused me to shiver uncontrollably. However, I refused to move. I cried and laughed, laughed and cried. I did not know what to do with myself.
I plunged my head into the water and suffocated myself. Suddenly a pair of powerful hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled me out of the water.
The thick towel wrapped me up like a mummy.
“Do you want to anger me to death?” Jing Tian hissed.
I opened my eyes and saw a familiar face in front of me. Tears streamed down my face like a fountain.
“Jing Tian!”I reached out and hugged his neck, crying my heart out.
Jing Tian carried me out of the bathroom. He wanted to put me on the bed, but I refused to let go. I was afraid that if I let go, he would disappear. Like how I had disappeared from my previous life to this one.
“Nanxing, be good. I will be back. Your hair is wet. You will catch a cold if you act like this.” Jing Tian coaxed me gently.
I hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
I was afraid. I had never been so afraid before.
