Chapter 76: A Heart-to-Heart Talk
“I am sorry, Sister Yue!”
As Si Wan repeatedly apologized, Yue spoke in a guilty tone.
“You didn’t do anything wrong. You protected me last night. I should thank you.”
Could such a powerful woman need her protection?
She looked at Yue incredulously.
Yue had to tell Si Wan the whole story that had happened last night.
While listening, Si Wan shook her head and signed with emotions, determined not to drink so much wine again. It was not decent to lose herself and black out in the state of intoxication.
At the same time, Si Wan felt a little excited about Yue’s vivid description.
She felt like returning to her old self, decisive and daring ever again.
“Si Wan, why me?”
She asked solemnly and cautiously.
“What?”
She asked back wonderingly.
“Why treat me like your family?”
Si Wan paused. Why? In fact, she also didn’t have an answer.
“Because it’s you. I just have this kind of feeling.”
Getting such a reply, Yue couldn’t help sighing about the innocence of this girl.
Should she take someone acquainted for just one day as her family member!
“But we’ve known each other for just one day.”
“So what? I don’t need a reason to trust you!”
In Yue’s mind, she should trust no one but herself. This was why she had never failed a single task.
Yue was greatly shocked that day. Was Gong Siming trying to get her killed?
He should have known she couldn’t have emotions but still sent her there.
“Besides, we could gradually know each other!” Continued Si Wan.
A flicker of curiosity flashed across Yue’s eyes.
“Then tell me about the wound on your shoulder.”
Si Wan was a little cornered by the unexpected question.
“If you don’t want to tell me, then forget it.”
The extremely indifferent voice of Yue rang.
Gritting her teeth, Si Wan spoke at last.
“Several years ago, I happened to see a man under siege in the street. His opponents were so shameless that they almost blinded him. To save him, I confronted and distracted the gang but was seriously wounded as well.”
While telling the story, Si Wan held back the agony and choked with sobs.
“After being discharged from the hospital, I realized my lack of strength. Despite the opposition from my family, I joined in torturous training, which worsened my injury. And here I am.”
She could feel the person Si Wan rescued was very important to her and the outcome was not optimistic.
“So, what happened to the man?” Asked Yue.
“He’s fine and has found the love of his life. Only it is not me.”
Si Wan’s eyes slightly reddened.
“Do you still love him?”
Yue had to ask. She could feel Gong Siming was special to Si Wan. If Si Wan was entangled with another man, Gong Siming would not spare them.
Yue didn’t want to see either of them hurt.
“I just want to leave him forever and never see him again.”
Si Wan didn’t give a direct answer, but her tone was affirmative.
“Well then, since he is so blind, steer clear of him.”
Yue stopped wrestling with it. Since Si Wan claimed to step away fromthe man, she was willing to believe her.
As for Si Wan’s relationship with Gong Siming, Yue would try her best to help.
“Sister Yue, how about you? Have you ever loved anyone?”
Love. She didn’t know what it felt like.
“I was born an orphan. With no family, I walked the world to survive. There was a time when I was bullied and almost killed, a man saved and named me. I was then taken to the army but have never seen him ever since.”
Si Wan walked over and grabbed Yue’s hand tightly to encourage her.
“I never give up looking for him. I don’t know if that is love.”
“It is definitely love, love from gratitude.”
Si Wan stared at Yue determinedly with a smile.
“From now on, I am your family. No matter what happens, I will protect and trust you.”
Yue had never received such care. Neither had she been so touched and happy.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Si Yue had never expected to have a family.
That little figure in the distance once again crossed her mind.
“I have another family member?”
In a trance, Yue blurted out.
“Really? Who is he? We can find him and live together in the imperial capital. The Sis’ house is way too big for grandpa and me. We are so lonely.”
Holding Yue’s hand, Si Wan jumped excitedly.
“He is my son.”
Yue had a son? Si Wan found it shocking and unbelievable.
“There was a time that I got drunk and hooked up with a man whose identity was unknown. He left me a note and took his leave. Unexpectedly, I got pregnant.”
“That was a favor from Heaven. He knew you were lonely and thus sent a little angel to love you.”
Unexpectedly, the knot in her heart was untied easily by a few words from Si Wan.
She had been regarding the child as torment and shame her entire life. But no matter how cold she was, the kid was still clingy and intimate to her.
Just like a clear spring in the desert, he made her prosaic life interesting.
“Where is he? Can you bring him here?”
In an obvious fluster, Yue drew back her hand.
Si Wan was taken by surprise and confused by her sudden behavior.
“No, I can’t let others know about his existence!”
As the She-Devil in the army and Devil Incarnate to outsiders, she made too many enemies. If they knew she had a son, the kid could barely lead a safe life.
Si Wan was not dull and could certainly understand Yue’s worries.
she grabbed Yue’s hand again and said solemnly.
“Sister Yue, I understand what is holding you back. But you should know wherever he is, he would still face danger. So, why don’t you keep him by your side? At least, he wouldn’t regard himself as an orphan loved by no one.”
Her words stung Yue’s conscience deeply.
Holding Si Wan, Yue shed painful tears for the first time as far as she could remember.
Sentiment eventually got the better of her. Although she was all-powerful in the army and feared by the enemies, she couldn’t escape the destined weak spot or stop the eruption of humanity under her disguised cold appearance.
Si Wan suddenly related her to Yan Xiuya. Recently she discovered that the colder one was on the surface, the more pains she kept to herself.
What about Gong Siming?
She gave a smirk. How could she forget about Feng Ling? Hadn’t Gong Siming been torturing her for the sake of Feng Ling?
Her life seemed to be so cozy that she neglected many things. Even her most basic acute and meticulous senses were weakening.
