Chapter 2207: Lu Meng (19)
Lu Meng was startled and quickly covered her own mouth, indicating she would definitely not speak.
Seeing this, Lu Xian bent down, held her in his arms, and comforted her, "That’s better, Daddy will teach you how to survive in this world. Even if I have to leave one day, you will be able to stay by your mommy’s side and protect her."
"Okay, Xiaomeng understands. Xiaomeng will always be good." Lu Meng wrapped her small arms around Lu Xian’s neck and solemnly nodded.
On the other side, Duan Xi left the Lu Family, but was conflicted about whether to tell Ruan Jiaojiao about this matter.
Although he didn’t agree with Lu Xian’s decision to erase Ruan Jiaojiao’s memory, he couldn’t deny that he also hoped Ruan Jiaojiao would always be happy. And if he revealed Xiaomeng’s identity, it would likely be difficult to hide what Lu Xian had done.
"Brother Xi, where did you go just now?" Ruan Jiaojiao walked up to Duan Xi, picked up a fragrant pear from the table, and was about to peel it when Duan Xi took it from her.
While peeling the pear, Duan Xi replied, "Nowhere special, just took a walk outside."
After saying this, he handed the peeled pear to her. Ruan Jiaojiao accepted it, took a bite, then leaned towards Duan Xi, "Brother Xi, you try a bite too, it’s really sweet."
Duan Xi took a bite from where she had bitten and nodded.
"Brother Xi, you’re acting a little strange, are you hiding something from me?" Ruan Jiaojiao withdrew her hand, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and looked at Duan Xi with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling that he had been acting oddly these past few days.
Though Duan Xi was often cold to others and not very talkative, he wasn’t like that with her.
But lately, she noticed that when Duan Xi spoke to her, he seemed distracted, like just now. Normally, after taking a bite of the pear, he wouldn’t just nod; he would definitely say something, like how sweet it is.
"Brother Xi, if you really are hiding something from me, and not telling me, I’m telling you, it’s definitely something serious. Shouldn’t you think it over?" Finally, Ruan Jiaojiao moved her face closer to Duan Xi, letting him clearly see her serious expression, though she was just trying to probe him.
Unexpectedly, she succeeded.
Duan Xi stood up and also pulled her up: "Let’s go to the room."
He really is hiding something from her?
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately put down the half-eaten pear and followed Duan Xi upstairs.
In the room.
Listening to Duan Xi’s words, Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock, unable to process it for a long while.
How could that be?
After a long pause, she mumbled to herself, "I burned those Buddha Beads, how could he be born holding them? It’s too miraculous."
"It’s not impossible. Didn’t Shen Ting also reincarnate?" He reversed the world, and uncontrollable factors increased with it. Shu Wen was one, Shen Ting counted as another, and now Lu Meng too.
But in some ways, these uncontrollable factors also follow certain trajectories from their past lives, such as Shu Wen being unable to bear children, Lu Meng and Shen Ting both retaining memories from their past lives, and Lu Meng having a permanent physical defect because of Ruan Jiaojiao.
The fact that he can solve this defect now is probably related to some deal he made with Lu Xian.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
"So every time I encounter him, I feel so uncomfortable because I once..."
