Chapter 323: Chapter 324 Jealous Zang Qingxue (Part 2)
“Zi Qianjing, what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?”
Mu Ruyue drew back her hand and asked with raised eyebrows.
“I want to sleep with you.” The young boy looked at Mu Ruyue pitifully, speaking with some trepidation.
He said it so simply, as if a man and a woman sharing a bed were as normal as eating and drinking…
Mu Ruyue scrutinized the boy in front of her.
In his eyes, she found not a hint of intrusion, just the bitterness of being abandoned…
“Zi Qianjing, how could a man and a woman who are not related share the same bed?”
Zi Qianjing smiled faintly, “If you consider me your son, then it’s settled.”
“I couldn’t possibly have given birth to a son as old as you,” Mu Ruyue’s face darkened, her visage stern, “Jingjing, do you so desire someone else to be your mother?”
Hearing this, Zi Qianjing’s gaze was filled with grievance, “I only want you. Since I was five, my parents left me. I was also captured by a woman who admired my father, and locked away for many years. If it hadn’t been for Aunt saving me, I might never have gained my freedom.”
To save him, Aunt had exhausted all her strength, leading to a progressive decline in her health, such that she ultimately had to forsake her physical body…
Mu Ruyue’s heart softened, how similar was Zi Qianjing’s plight to that of her own son in her previous life? Although she did not remember her previous life, she had learned much from Nangong Zifeng’s narrations.
Love… can truly drive people to madness.
“What about your parents?”
“I’m searching for them,” Zi Qianjing’s soft smile warmed, his gaze tenderly fixed on Mu Ruyue, “As long as I find my mother, my father will surely appear. It has always been so; wherever mother is, he is bound to be there.”
Mu Ruyue sighed softly, “Then I hope you find your mother soon, and your family is reunited.”
Zi Qianjing’s eyes showed a tinge of complexity. He had waited so long to find his parents. However, the grandparents who always doted on him would no longer return…
“I’ll take your blessing, I will definitely find them.”
And now, he had indeed found them…
“Jingjing, where is your Aunt now? After she saved you, where did she go?”
“My Aunt…” Zi Qianjing lifted his eyes to gaze at the exquisite face of the girl, smiling faintly, “She went to a place I don’t yet know of, but she’s also searching for my mother. So I believe we’ll be reunited soon. In my family, aside from my parents and me, only Aunt managed to escape a calamity; all others are gone.”
The smile on his lips slowly vanished, and Zi Qianjing’s eyes darkened.
Just thinking of that name ignited an endless killing intent in him.
Back then, he was only five years old…
…yet he was captured by that cruel woman, who cut off his limbs and threw them before his parents. More heart-wrenching than his amputated limbs was witnessing his parents annihilated under the Heavenly Tribulation.
That scene was still vivid in his mind, causing his heart to shudder even now, with pain clutching at him upon recall…
Zi Qianjing gently closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before he could suppress the intense killing intent within him.
“Your Aunt… who is she?”
Mu Ruyue was not someone who normally delved too deeply, but in that moment, somewhat inexplicably, she found herself compelled to ask such a question, as if something was pulling her to understand these matters.
