Chapter 2187
He reached over and placed Jiaojiao’s small hand on Lu Meng’s chest: "Jiaojiao, can you feel it? This heart really is mine."
Jiaojiao could naturally feel it, her own heart even started to pound wildly, making her feel flustered and uncomfortable.
But this time, she didn’t pull her hand back, letting herself feel uncomfortable.
However, Lu Xian didn’t let her touch it for too long, releasing her after about four or five seconds.
"Jiaojiao, don’t be sad, I’m still alive, just in a different form."
"But it’s not the same! Brother Xian, it’s not the same!" Jiaojiao shook her head frantically, even if Lu Meng had Lu Xian’s heart, how could it be the same?
Zhao Li acknowledged Lu Xian as her son, Lu Zishu acknowledged Lu Xian as his brother, and she, she only acknowledged this godbrother!
Lu Xian looked at her but just smiled slightly, stood up, and looked at Duan Xi: "The rest is up to you. It’s late, we’re going to sleep now."
After saying that, he was about to lead Lu Meng into the courtyard, but was hugged around the leg by Jiaojiao climbing from behind.
Lu Xian lowered his head, patted her little head, and slowly pried her hands away. Even when she collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, he didn’t look back and walked into the courtyard without a second glance.
Jiaojiao watched Lu Xian’s back as he entered, lying on the ground, crying her heart out.
Duan Xi walked to her side, bent down, and carefully picked her up in his arms, letting her cry.
In the end, Jiaojiao was trembling all over, her breaths choked in sobs, her little face was cold and pale, and Duan Xi, from start to finish, said nothing, just held her, letting her be.
Xiaobai twisted its body, perched on the wall, flickering its tongue: "Hiss hiss hiss..." Little Cutie, what’s wrong?
Duan Xi glanced at Lu Xian, who had already returned to the room and was looking down from the balcony, then turned around with Jiaojiao in his arms, heading towards the Ruan Family.
Meanwhile, on the Lu Family’s balcony.
Lu Meng didn’t understand: "Mom is really sad, why don’t you tell her?" Although he didn’t understand much about the world, he knew that if he told Jiaojiao the whole truth, maybe she wouldn’t be so heartbroken.
Lu Xian lowered his eyes, curled his lips in an inexplicable smile: "Because I’m selfish."
A few years ago, many unbelievable things happened in the Ruan Family. Later, Jiaojiao escaped unharmed. He always thought it was the work of that Master who passed away peacefully, completely unaware of Duan Xi’s identity.
After his death, he knew, he wagered everything in this life for a chance at the next one, and Duan Xi was so powerful, how could he dare to let him find out.
This life, he was destined not to have a chance, but in the next, he would be the first to arrive by her side, even if... Duan Xi were to reverse it again, he would wager his life against him.
Lu Meng didn’t say anything in response.
He reached out to touch his chest, the heart beating there belonged to Lu Xian, and his... was with her.
Lu Xian didn’t have this life, but he did.
Carrying the now drowsy from crying Jiaojiao, Lu Xian couldn’t scale the walls or windows, could only enter through the main door.
And inside the hall, chaos reigned, Ruan Jianguo’s voice loud enough to lift the roof: "That brat must have taken my darling to Hengya, no way, I must catch up immediately!"
Ruanlin Family initially prepared a bit of pearl powder milk for Jiaojiao, wanting to bring it up for her to drink, but didn’t expect that not only was Jiaojiao not in her room, nor was Duan Xi.
