Chapter 391: Chapter 391 The So-Called Fated Person

"Qiqi has always been harboring resentment towards us, wondering why we can’t be like other children’s parents, show her love openly, and dote on her. We want to as well, we want to openly love her, cherish her, but we can’t. We can only keep this love hidden in our hearts, secretly loving her and caring for her!"

"I remember one year, she had a high fever. We dared not take care of her personally. We could only sneak out and then call her friends to take her to the hospital!"

"Also, every time Qiqi goes out at night, I actually secretly send someone to follow her, to protect her. Just now, when you called me saying Qiqi was drunk, I immediately sent people to the bars she frequently visits to find her, but I, as a father, couldn’t go in person! It’s not that we don’t love her, we have just changed the way we express our love for her!"

Jiang Haozhe said with a trembling body and eyes red with emotion.

It’s not that we don’t love her, we have just changed the way we express our love for her.

This sentence was filled with the helplessness and sorrow of Jiang Haozhe.

Even Chen Feng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel moved.

You should know, after experiencing so many life-and-death situations, Chen Feng was already able to easily control his emotions.

However, when he heard Jiang Haozhe say this sentence, his heart still ached involuntarily.

One can only imagine how much pain the Jiang couple has endured over the years.

Despite loving Jiang Shiqi dearly, they had to pretend to be indifferent.

Despite caring about her deeply, they had to ignore her.

This inner torment, lasting for ten years, is truly more than what an ordinary person can bear.

Moreover, every time they faced Jiang Shiqi’s resentful gaze, this pain would multiply!

Yet, the Jiang couple has endured it all, not for anything else but for the love they have for Jiang Shiqi, that selfless love.

Even though Jiang Shiqi was not their biological child, they still loved her. Although unable to show it openly, they continued to love her in their own way!

One must say, this love is indeed great!

"Haozhe, this is our fate. It’s all my fault. If only I could have children, none of this would have happened. But I have no regrets. Qiqi is now so beautiful and adorable. To have such a daughter, I am content, even if someday she may resent us!"

Cai Liya threw herself into Jiang Haozhe’s arms, sobbing as she spoke.

"Sigh!"

Jiang Haozhe patted his wife’s shoulder, let out a long sigh, and his face was etched with helplessness.

Seeing the couple like this, Chen Feng truly felt sorry for them and looked at Jiang Haozhe and asked, "Uncle Jiang, is there really nothing we can do to change the present situation?"

"I asked the same question to that old Taoist ten years ago, but the Taoist only left me with a cryptic saying, which I haven’t been able to understand to this day!"

Jiang Haozhe said with a sigh.

"What did he say?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"All is determined by destiny, waiting for the predestined one. If one day the predestined one arrives, all constraints will dissipate like smoke!"

Jiang Haozhe immediately replied.

He had remembered this sentence for ten years, having committed it fully to memory.

"The so-called ’constraints’ should refer to those between you and Shiqi, right? It means that if the so-called predestined person comes, you no longer have to maintain your distance from Shiqi?"

Chen Feng frowned and asked.

"Although that’s what he said, the profundity of this statement lies in who this predestined person is. We have no way of knowing!"

Jiang Haozhe said with a pained expression.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng could only helplessly shrug his shoulders, unable to assist in such matters.

However, just as both were shaking their heads and sighing, suddenly, a flash of white light twinkled, followed by a bearded old Taoist in a Daoist robe who appeared out of nowhere in the living room.

Yet, this old Taoist was not a solid entity; he seemed more like a wisp of soul, appearing somewhat ethereal and elusive.

"Immortal!"

Jiang Haozhe and Cai Liya were stunned on the spot and stood up excitedly.

For this old Taoist was the very person who had handed Jiang Shiqi over to them!

"En!"

The old Taoist gave a slight smile to the Jiang couple and then turned his head to look at Chen Feng, who was sitting on the couch. He smiled and said, "This old man has waited here for ten years, and finally, I have managed to wait for you!"

"Wait for me? Who are you?"

Chen Feng was taken aback, a hint of wariness flashing across his face.

Just the fact that the old Taoist had appeared out of thin air was enough to show that he was no ordinary man.

Before confirming whether he was a friend or foe, Chen Feng couldn’t let his guard down!

"Hehe, young one, you are quite vigilant, but rest assured, you and I are not enemies!" the old Taoist said with a light smile.

After speaking, the old Taoist raised his hand and gently waved towards Chen Feng.

The next moment, Chen Feng’s expression drastically changed.

For he felt a sudden response in his chest.

The Tianqi Holy Pearl had always been in his chest!

This old Taoist actually caused the Tianqi Holy Pearl to respond!

A shock went through Chen Feng’s mind. Yet before he could react, the old Taoist once again waved his hand.

The next instant, the Tianqi Holy Pearl flew straight out from Chen Feng’s chest.

And at the moment the Tianqi Holy Pearl flew out of Chen Feng’s chest, Chen Feng felt an overwhelming joy from the pearl. It soared towards the old Taoist as if meeting a family member it hadn’t seen for years, circling him rapidly.

It was like meeting an old friend after many years, full of excitement!

This left Chen Feng shocked and filled with confusion.

What on earth was going on?

"Old friend, long time no see, are you well?" the old Taoist said, looking at the Tianqi Holy Pearl flying around him, flashing a wide smile. Then, he reached out his hand, and the Tianqi Holy Pearl obediently settled into his palm, rubbing against it as if to express its joy.

The old Taoist looked at the Tianqi Holy Pearl in his palm and smiled. But then the smile on his face gradually faded and was replaced by a deep sense of sorrow.

The old Taoist sighed deeply and said sorrowfully, "Alas, in that battle so long ago, both of us ended up in this wretched state, even the master... Alas, let’s not dwell on matters from so long ago. Let me have a good look at the person you have chosen!"

With that, the old Taoist looked up at Chen Feng.

At that moment, Chen Feng’s body suddenly stiffened, and he became unable to move at all.

This again changed Chen Feng’s expression as he constantly felt an unseen force suppressing him, immobilizing his body so that he could not move.

Meanwhile, as the old Taoist’s gaze landed on him, Chen Feng felt as if the old Taoist had seen right through him, his strength, his strategies, everything, leaving nothing hidden from his view!
