The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Or could it be that deep down she knows perfectly well that Shui Jingmo doesn’t love her, yet she is willing to put away all her sharp edges and is content to be the little woman by his side?

"Sister Jing, why did you interrupt me? If I don’t say it out loud, look at my aunt right now... she’s obviously madly in love with that Shui Jingmo. Tell me, what’s so good about him? He’s just slightly good-looking, not even that handsome compared to your Su Yu and that Lianwu, right? Why is my aunt so steadfastly devoted?" Xiaoqi mumbled beside her.

If Han Jing hadn’t interrupted her earlier, she would have said everything.

She’s seen it clearly now, her aunt is obsessed with Shui Jingmo.

Han Jing shook her head, "If you say it now, wouldn’t it just pour salt in the wound? Even though they’ve been together for so many years, she might not be unaware that Shui Jingmo doesn’t love her, yet she chooses to stay by his side willingly. During dinner later, steer the topic toward whether Shui Jingmo has another woman or when they plan to have kids, then observe her thoughts. What you see now is her being filled with infatuation for Shui Jingmo, but you can’t see her true inner feelings. After all, people sometimes just like to deceive themselves."

Xiaoqi blinked, then nodded and asked, "Should I tell my aunt today?"

"Wait and see if Shui Jingmo comes back, and if he does, observe what he thinks. If he’s genuinely willing to put his heart into your aunt in the future, perhaps she truly can find clarity after all the clouds have cleared. But if he’s not thinking that way at all, we should find an opportunity to explain it clearly to your aunt, so she doesn’t continue waiting and eventually lose herself."

Han Jing shook her head helplessly, the higher the cultivation and strength people have, the more lost they become in the face of love, because they could have everything yet crave the taste of love. But the taste of love—being sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty—who can escape unscathed and only feel warmth and happiness?

As if by coincidence, just as dinner was prepared and set, Shui Jingmo finally returned.

Feng Peining almost put down her bowl and eagerly went out to greet him, her eyes shining bright, "You’re back? Where did you go? You didn’t say anything, you really worried me."

Feng Peining looked at him coyly, then naturally took his arm and smiled, saying to Shui Jingmo, "Xiaoqi is here, along with her friend, and just right, you’re back, so join us for dinner! I don’t know what’s going on today, but it’s snowing heavily, and I heard from people at the mansion that Shuiqi Island has never seen snow before! Isn’t that strange?"

Shui Jingmo was still immersed in the day’s events, unable to come to his senses. He frantically searched all over Shuiqi Island but couldn’t find Xiao Xu’s trace, still feeling dazed, and wasn’t sure what Feng Peining was saying.

But when she mentioned this heavy snow, he suddenly froze all over, reminded of something.

The day he first met Xiao Xu on Ningxi Island, it was by the lake, and Ningxi Island was covered in heavy snow. He lost his way, trembling with cold, and at that moment Xiao Xu appeared before him.𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
