598 Return to the Secular World
“Jing Su? Why are you here?”
Xu Ziyue was stunned. He did not expect the person who saved him from danger to be Jing Su.
“Why can’t it be me? Ziyue, if I don’t come today, you will not be able to fulfill your promise.”
Jing Su rode on the horse and did not turn around. Instead, she questioned with a cold voice.
“No, I…”
Xu Ziyue said with a bitter smile, “I didn’t expect to fall into a trap. I knew that this revenge would be very dangerous, so I specially left a letter for my brother. I didn’t expect…”
Jing Su’s heart suddenly sank. He asked, “You left a letter for the person who killed you? What was it about?”
Xu Ziyue pursed his lips. “Let him take care of you on account of our brotherhood.”
Jing Su was speechless.
Now that everything made sense, she understood why the disciplinarian wanted to kill her.
It turned out that the source of everything was the person she had just killed.
She had avenged herself and the Xu family.
The horse galloped out of the city. Jing Su came to the forest and found a river to treat Xu Ziyue’s injuries.
“Ziyue, I won’t stop you from taking revenge, but as you can see, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you might also die.
“Besides, they’re waiting for you to fall into their trap. Zilang, what you should do now is to conserve your strength and prepare well. Wait for the right time, do not act rashly and tempt fate!”
Xu Ziyue said with a bitter smile, “I just didn’t expect Xu Ziqi to betray me and the entire Xu family. What’s more, I didn’t expect you to be the one who saved me from danger. Jing Su, why are you here?”
Jing Su glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “I’m worried about you, so I left the nunnery.”
Xu Ziyue lowered his head. “…I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
Seeing that Xu Ziyue was in a bad mood and his eyes were filled with hatred, Jing Su thought for a moment and said, “Ziyue, I’m pregnant.”
“What?”
Jing Su grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “I’m pregnant.”
Xu Ziyue held his breath and his mind went blank. After a while, his eyes widened in surprise. “Really?”
He reached out his other hand and gently stroked her flat stomach, muttering, “Is… is there really a little life inside? Is it my child?”
Jing Su frowned. “Of course it’s yours. Are you suspecting me?”
Xu Ziyue retracted his hand awkwardly and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand. I… I was too excited. I…”
The corners of Jing Su’s mouth curled up. She held his hand tightly and said in a gentle voice, “Ziyue, do you like this child?”
Xu Ziyue immediately said, “Of course I like it. As long as it’s our child, I like it.”
“Then promise me that you won’t act rashly. You have to think about me and the child. In a few years, when they let down their guard, you can find an opportunity to take revenge.”
Although Jin Su’s tone was gentle, it was filled with determination. Xu Ziyue knew that he had no right to be rash now, so he could only nod.
“I promise you that I’ll live well until our child is born safely.”
Hence, the two of them found a beautiful place to live in seclusion.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Ziyue and Jing Su came back in disguise to take revenge.
