Chapter 1130: He Actually Thinks She’s a Child?
Feng Peining lowered her head, not looking at Shui Jingmo.
Shui Jingmo looked at Feng Peining, but his heart was not at ease.
For so many years, he had not been waiting for the day Feng Peining would leave; moreover, he had ultimately hurt her, let her down.
He had no right to be happy.
The two of them stood silently for a long time, neither speaking.
After a long while, Shui Jingmo finally spoke, "Peining, I won’t say sorry anymore. In the end, I was the one who wronged you. What you wanted, I couldn’t give. I hope one day someone can truly make you happy. We’ve been spouses for ten years, and have become the closest people to each other. If there is anything you need in the future, just tell me. What I owe you, I fear I can never repay in this lifetime. As long as you ask, I will surely help without hesitation. Here, as long as I am here, it will always be your home."
After Shui Jingmo finished speaking, he did not wait for Feng Peining’s response and turned and strode out.
Only after Shui Jingmo had left did Feng Peining finally cover her face and sob.
If in this life they could not love each other, perhaps this was their best ending?
At least it was better than mutual resentment, loving until hatred.
Even though she had made her decision, Feng Peining took a full three days to come to her senses and send a message to Xiaoqi, saying she would go back to Phoenix Island with her.
——
Once Su Xingqiao’s poison was cured, they had no other matters to attend to on Shuiqi Island.
From Shuiqi Island to Minghan Island, they also had to pass through Zhu Guan Island and Yunzhu Island, and Xia Wu had already said that Zhu Guan Island and Yunzhu Island were easy to deal with, so they should be able to reach Minghan Island soon.
Moreover, Su Xingqiao had already made his decision after discussing it with Han Jing and Su Yu: he planned to go to Phoenix Island with Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi was in her room, bored, waiting to see when Feng Peining would send her a message, but unexpectedly, instead of Feng Peining’s message, it was Su Xingqiao who came.
Xiaoqi’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Su Xingqiao, naturally knowing what he had come for.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but think that Sister Jing really hadn’t been wrong. Brother Qiao had truly decided to go back with her!
Thinking this, Xiaoqi looked at Su Xingqiao, her face involuntarily growing warm.
"Xiaoqi, I have something to tell you," Su Xingqiao said.
Xiaoqi slightly lowered her head, pretending to be curious, asked, "What’s wrong Brother Qiao? Did something happen?"
Su Xingqiao paused slightly, looked at Xiaoqi and said, "Does what you told me last time still count?"
"Ah? What did I say?" Xiaoqi pretended to not understand, asking innocently.
Su Xingqiao coughed lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, but since this concerned his future cultivation, he gathered his courage and said, "Last time you said that if I was ready, I could go with you. I... have made my decision."
Xiaoqi leaned over, hugged Su Xingqiao’s arm, raised her head, and smiled at him, "Is Brother Qiao willing to go with me?"
These words sounded somewhat ambiguous, making Su Xingqiao feel a bit uneasy. He thought of pushing Xiaoqi away, but to him, Xiaoqi was like a little child. If he pushed her away, would it be making a fuss over nothing?
Xiaoqi saw the struggle in Su Xingqiao’s eyes, and in her heart she couldn’t help but think: does he really see her as a child?
