Chapter 299 Xia Yi’s letter!

Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Xia Yi’s letter!

"Old Zhou, where is Xia Yi?" Su Luo called Zhou Ye to inquire.

"Isn’t Miss Xia always at home?" Zhou Ye was confused. He visited Xia Yi’s place every day to secretly protect her, except for today, since he learned that Su Luo was going back to Jiangbei. Su Luo had told him that he didn’t need to go over, so he didn’t.

Su Luo didn’t get any useful information from Zhou Ye.

He then inquired about the Lin Family.

Xia Yi was not at the Lin Family’s home, nor was she at the company.

Su Luo was getting anxious.

Could it be that Xia Yi and Nian Nian had been captured by the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce?

But at the moment, Aunt Shen was being monitored by the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, without access to a phone. He couldn’t contact Aunt Shen, nor could he verify with her.

This deepened the furrow in Su Luo’s brow.

He reached out to the doorknob, unlocked the door with a jolt, and entered the house. He wanted to see if there were any signs of struggle or resistance in the room.

However, he didn’t find any signs of resistance. Instead, he saw a letter on the table.

"For Su Luo only!"

Four words were written on the cover.

Seeing this letter, Su Luo’s heart skipped a beat, immediately feeling a bad premonition.

He hurriedly opened the letter.

"Su Luo, by the time you read this letter, Nian Nian and I will have already left..."

"I am grateful to have met you in this life. You have given me warmth and made me feel loved again. Undeniably, I have developed feelings for you..."

"You’ve been so good to Nian Nian, and she clings to you. She genuinely likes you. You really seem like her father. For a moment, I was confused, feeling like we really were a family..."

"Actually, when we were in Yiling, when I found out you had intentionally instructed Zhou Ye to collude with the front desk, making excuses to share a room with me, I was overjoyed yet incredibly conflicted..."

"That night, when we opened our hearts to each other, I learned that you and I are alike. You’ve been living with your grandfather since childhood, just as I lived with my mother. After your grandfather passed away, you were alone... and after my mother passed away, I was treated as a marriage pawn and eventually disowned, left with nothing..."

"I felt that our lives were alike... But you’re different from me; you’re confident, strong, and destined for greatness. I’m just an ordinary woman among many, but I feel particularly safe and happy when I’m with you..."

"But the more I felt this way, the more conflicted I became."

"Logically, I never wanted to be a mistress, nor did I wish to interfere with your relationship with Lin Ruoxi. I couldn’t accept doing such a thing. But emotionally, I couldn’t control my feelings. When I realized you had gone out of your way to share a room with me, I thought you must have feelings for me too, so that night... when you suddenly rolled on top of me and kissed me, my resistance wasn’t so firm..."

"I thought, if you wanted me, then I’d give myself to you... To satisfy you once, either as a way to repay you or out of my own desire, to leave a beautiful memory between us... I thought... Just once, let’s be crazy and let my body bear your mark..."

"Just one time!"

"After that, I would tell Nian Nian the truth, take her, and leave, never to appear in your life again, never to disturb you. Even though I knew this was immoral, I felt very sorry for Lin Ruoxi..."

"Fortunately, we were loud enough to wake Nian Nian up in time, and I came to my senses too, thus avoiding a mistake..."

"Even though I’ve never been with another man, having given birth to Nian Nian, I’m no longer a pure maiden... And Nian Nian isn’t your daughter... Your life shouldn’t have blemishes, and your woman should be clean and pure..."

"So, I shouldn’t have entertained those thoughts, those feelings... But humans are not cold-hearted like plants; who can be without emotion? I feared that seeing you again would make it impossible to control my feelings. The better you treated me, the harder it was for me to let go... I couldn’t betray you, nor could I wrong Lin Ruoxi..."

"So, Su Luo, I’ve left!"

"But don’t blame yourself. My departure... isn’t because of what happened that night in Yiling. Even if nothing had happened that night, after returning from Yiling, I had already decided to leave... So don’t blame yourself..."

"I will take good care of myself and Nian Nian. You don’t have to worry... nor do you need to look for me... Perhaps, when Nian Nian grows up, I might return to Jiangbei. Until then, goodbye..."

Su Luo stood there, stunned by the letter Xia Yi had left.

So, Xia Yi had already developed feelings for him.

But it was precisely because of these feelings that she had left.

"Sister Yi, Nian Nian is actually our daughter," Su Luo muttered to himself.

As absurd and unbelievable as it sounded, there was indeed such a coincidence in the world—Nian Nian really was his and Xia Yi’s daughter.

He had confirmed this a long time ago.

Right now, Su Luo was filled with regret, turning green with it!

He should have told Xia Yi the truth earlier. If she had known from the start, maybe she wouldn’t have left.

Nor would she have ever conceived the idea that she was a blemish in his life.

"Sister Yi, where are you?"

Taking out his phone, Su Luo dialed Xia Yi’s number once more, but it still showed as switched off, unreachable no matter what he did.

...

Meanwhile.

On a high-speed train.

Xia Yi glanced at her watch; it was already past eight in the evening.

"He should have come back by now, right?"

Xia Yi’s expression was complex.

It was only after receiving the news that Su Luo was returning to Jiangbei that she finally made up her mind to leave. By her estimate, Su Luo should have already returned to Jiangbei and found out that she and Nian Nian had left.

What would his reaction be?

Xia Yi sighed quietly to herself.

"Mommy, when can I see Daddy again?" Nian Nian sat obediently beside Xia Yi, her large, intelligent eyes also full of anticipation.

Ultimately, Xia Yi couldn’t bring herself to reveal the truth to Nian Nian, so she took Nian Nian and left; but in Nian Nian’s mind, Su Luo was still her father.

"When Nian Nian is a little older, Mommy will tell you, okay?" Xia Yi said with a gentle smile.

"Okay," Nian Nian nodded obediently, not understanding Xia Yi’s meaning, only feeling that when she was a bit older, she would see her father again.

"Nian Nian is such a good girl," Xia Yi stroked her head.

But the next moment, Xia Yi was startled, "Nian Nian, why are you so cold all over?"

She hadn’t realized until she touched her, but Nian Nian’s forehead was as cold as ice.

She hurriedly felt Nian Nian’s palms.

Cold!

Piercingly cold!

"Nian Nian, do you feel unwell anywhere?" Xia Yi was somewhat panicked as she asked quickly.

"Mommy, I’m so cold," Nian Nian spoke feebly. However, she was very well-behaved, having noticed that her mother was preoccupied, she had endured her discomfort without a word.

Xia Yi immediately hugged Nian Nian closer, only then realizing that not only was Nian Nian’s body ice-cold, but even her clothes were chilled through, as if taken right out of a refrigerator.

Xia Yi was instantly consumed by self-reproach for not noticing earlier that Nian Nian was this cold, abnormally so.

"Is there a doctor, anyone?" Xia Yi, clutching Nian Nian, hastily sought out a crew member, frightened for her daughter’s well-being.

Just then, a Daoist nun in green, who appeared to be in her thirties and wearing a Daoist robe, suddenly came over and exclaimed, "Could this be... the Congenital Absolute Pulse?"

Congenital Absolute Pulse?

What is the Congenital Absolute Pulse?

All Xia Yi knew was that there was something wrong with Nian Nian’s body... and Xia Yi had left with Nian Nian, in fact, to seek out renowned doctors to see if there was a cure for Nian Nian’s condition.

"Daoist Sister, you... you know my daughter’s illness, please save her..." Xia Yi looked urgently at the Daoist Nun in Green.

"This isn’t an illness..." the Daoist Nun in Green said gravely, and then as if speaking to herself, "The descendants of a Body of Supreme Yin have a high probability of exhibiting the Congenital Absolute Pulse, could it be..."

Suddenly, the Daoist nun’s gaze turned to Xia Yi and said, "Young lady, if you are willing to follow me back to our sect, enter our order, I can find a way to save your daughter. In fact, in this world, aside from us, I fear no one else has the means to save your daughter..."

Sect?

Daoist nun?

Does she want her to renounce the world?

Xia Yi hesitated only briefly before nodding in agreement; to save her daughter, she would not hesitate even if it meant cutting all ties with the worldly life.
