"Don’t talk nonsense, your mom loves you very much, and she loves dad too. She wouldn’t fall for someone else. She left because she had reasons she couldn’t avoid,"
The little guy lifted his head, blinking his big eyes, and asked in confusion, "What reasons?"
Rong Shaoze’s eyes were filled with pain as he said solemnly, "A reason that made her very sad and upset. You’re still young, you wouldn’t understand. But dad promises you, I’ll find mom as soon as possible, and we’ll see her very soon."
"Really?" Xiaocong asked incredulously.
"Really, dad is not lying to you."
Although he was very happy, he was still worried, "Will mom leave again after she comes back?"
"I don’t know, but no matter where she goes, dad will be with her, take care of her, protect her. With dad by her side, you don’t have to worry about her."
"But I want to be with mom and dad forever."
Rong Shaoze smiled and nodded, "Don’t worry, mom and dad will always be by your side."
Even if I die, my soul will stay with you until you grow up.
Xiaocong immediately showed a delighted smile, "Dad, then you have to find mom soon."
"I will." Their time was running out, and he would definitely hurry to find her.
Qiao Yiyang had stayed at Lin Xinlan’s place for two days, with no intention of leaving.
Lin Xinlan had told him to get lost several times, each time he said his leg was still not healed, he couldn’t stand up, and therefore couldn’t walk out.
Anyway, he had decided to cling to her, and she truly regretted letting him stay that day.
In the past few days, Lin Xinlan’s body had aged considerably, her health was deteriorating, but luckily the medicine Tao Hua gave her was supporting her; otherwise, she would have aged to the point of not being able to walk at all.
Seeing her in a weakened state, Qiao Yiyang sat down beside her, grabbed her hand, and said gravely:
"Xinlan, you’ve become , why are you still so stubborn. Come with me, okay? I’ll give you the antidote, and you’ll soon recover to your original self. Don’t you like that idea?"
Lin Xinlan pulled her hand away, saying coldly, "I’ve said it, even if I die, I won’t go with you. You don’t need to say anything more."
"Even if you now look seventy or eighty years old, even if your face is covered with wrinkles, all your hair has turned white, you don’t care?"
Qiao Yiyang suddenly became angry, "You’re so reluctant to go with me? I’m not forcing you to love me or to forget Rong Shaoze. I just want you to stay by my side. Not only could you regain your youth, but you also wouldn’t have to betray Rong Shaoze. You won’t agree to that either?"
Looking at his disguised appearance, Lin Xinlan asked mockingly:
"Qiao Yiyang, I’m really curious, with me looking , how can you remain so obsessed? Don’t you find this old face disgusting?"
"Of course not! Xinlan, I love you, naturally I don’t care what you look like," he said sincerely.
Lin Xinlan’s eyes flickered slightly.
At that moment, she believed that Qiao Yiyang truly loved her, only his love was too distorted, it had reached the point of madness.
She sighed and said, "Qiao Yiyang, I’ll say it one more time, I won’t go with you. If you can’t bear to see me die, give me the antidote. If you don’t want to give it, then so be it."
Qiao Yiyang clenched his fists, his eyes darkening.
"Then I’ll say it one more time, if you don’t come with me, I won’t give you the antidote! Since I can’t have you, I won’t let Rong Shaoze have you either!"
