530: Chapter 20 Quan Jinling 530: Chapter 20 Quan Jinling Fortunately, her wish ca true.
She had given birth to a boy.
Quan Gui and Song Xu, upon hearing this news, were so excited they could scarcely catch their breath.
And she beca the apple of the Quan Family’s eye.
Song Xu would bring Quan Mo over every now and then, and Quan Gui insisted on depositing a large sum of money into her account as a reward for her great contribution.
…
A whole year had passed.
Little Baby was already two months old, and they nad him Quan Jinling.
The little baby appeared stronger and more intelligent than the average child.
With a pair of jet-black eyes, always rolling about curiously, he spent most of his ti sleeping.
When he wasn’t asleep, he wouldn’t cry; seeing people, he would giggle delightfully.
Gu Xiaoxi sat on the sofa, holding Quan Jinling in her arms and playing with him using a small toy.
At that mont, Song Xu, leading Quan Mo by the hand, walked in smiling from the door, “Xiao Xi, I ca to see Jinling.
Your dad just had so seafood shipped from abroad.
I’ve brought so for you.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi stood up with the baby in her arms and looked towards the entering Song Xu, hastily saying, “Mom!
I haven’t finished the seafood that was delivered yesterday; there’s no need for so much.”
“We need it, my grandson is getting more spirited by the day.
How could we skimp on good food?” Saying this, Song Xu happily rushed up and took Quan Jinling from Gu Xiaoxi’s arms.
“Mommy, when will little brother grow up so he can play with ?” Quan Mo tiptoed, trying to see her little brother.
However, her grandmother wouldn’t let her.
Gu Xiaoxi affectionately pinched Quan Mo’s cheek, smiling, “Wait another two years!”
“Ah, isn’t that a long ti!” Quan Mo said anxiously.
She really wanted a playmate.
Even if she were confined to the house every day, at least she would have company.
“It’s not long, two years will go by quickly,” Song Xu cheerfully said.
Looking at the chubby boy in her arms, she felt she could die without any regrets.
And she was grateful to Gu Xiaoxi for giving her the chance to see her grandson in her lifeti.
Chatting with Song Xu made Gu Xiaoxi’s days pass in peaceful comfort.
…
She thought she would lead an ordinary life forever, supporting her husband, teaching her son, living happily and uneventfully.
Apparently, fate had other plans.
At noon, Gu Xiaoxi’s phone rang.
She picked up the phone and casually answered as usual, “Hello, who is this?”
“It’s !” The voice on the phone was both strange and familiar.
This person, she had been searching for nearly an entire year.
Yet he had vanished without a trace.
“You…
do you need sothing?” Gu Xiaoxi hesitated for a mont.
Mi Xi’s sudden appearance left her feeling unexpectedly flustered.
“Is it convenient to et now?
I have sothing for you!” Mi Xi said in a low voice.
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a mont and asked, “Where are you now?”
“Imperial Capital Huayu Hotel.”
Gu Xiaoxi changed her clothes, entrusted Quan Jinling to Song Xu, and hurriedly left the house with her bag.
She was eager to ask Mi Xi if her power could return.
Especially as of late, there had been many incidents internationally.
Quan Shaoqing’s work had also beco increasingly busy.
The Special Forces had been successfully established, but several missions had ended in failure, and they had barely survived to return ho.
She felt that her Nascent Soul was almost fully recuperated and about to erge.
Across from the Huayu Hotel was a café.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxi entered, she saw Mi Xi sitting in a corner booth, looking much more haggard than his forr spirited and elegant self; his cheeks were pale, entirely devoid of color.
When he saw Gu Xiaoxi, he quickly stood up and waved her over.
Gu Xiaoxi walked over and took a seat in front of him.
The waitress imdiately brought over a coffee with polite service.
“Where have you been this past year?
I’ve been looking for you for a long ti!” Gu Xiaoxi asked, looking at him.
He had escaped from Hell, shouldn’t he be able to live well in this world?
“I have so things to do.
I’m sorry, I didn’t expect the spell I cast last ti to have such a big impact on you.” Mi Xi couldn’t help but clench his fingers tightly, showing an apologetic face to Gu Xiaoxi.
“You’ve also saved before, so there’s no need for such formalities.
Besides, what I did, I did to save everyone.
Even if my powers are gone, I have no reason to bla you.
I just don’t know if my strength can ever return.” Gu Xiaoxi said with a grave expression.
At that mont, Mi Xi took out a box from his pocket and pushed it in front of Gu Xiaoxi, “This is for you, a herb that can heal injuries.
As long as you consu it, your strength will return.
It might even be stronger than before.”
“What is this?” Gu Xiaoxi asked, puzzled as she opened the box, inside which was a crystal-clear Immortal Herb.
The mont the box was opened, a burst of dazzling colors lit up the entire coffee shop.
Mi Xi quickly closed the box lid and looked around.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people around, and those who did notice assud it was so kind of fun technological gadget and didn’t pay it any mind.
“You mustn’t let the wrong people discover it.
If you still want to recover your strength, eat it imdiately,” Mi Xi warned, scanning the surroundings.
Gu Xiaoxi naturally knew that this was no ordinary item, “Where did you get this?”
“I went to the Primitive Forest and found it there,” Mi Xi said, lowering his head and taking a sip of water.
His fingers were obviously trembling, as if he felt guilty.
“You’re lying.
The Primitive Forest couldn’t possibly have Immortal Herbs.
You better tell the truth!
Otherwise, I can’t accept this.” Gu Xiaoxi imdiately said with a serious face.
“This is compensation I’m giving you, not a gift.
If it weren’t for , you wouldn’t have been injured,” Mi Xi replied, setting down his cup with an even more serious tone.
Then Gu Xiaoxi noticed that his hands were wrapped in gauze, clearly he had been injured.
“Mi Xi, is there sothing you can tell ?
We’re friends, aren’t we…
I don’t need you sacrificing yourself for over and over again.” Gu Xiaoxi pushed the box back towards him.
She didn’t want to owe him too much.
Mi Xi pursed his lips, gripping his fingers tightly.
The words he wanted to say got as far as his mouth, but he swallowed them back down.
He looked at Gu Xiaoxi’s delicate face.
Over the past year, she was still as beautiful as ever.
Even her personality had not changed much, except her feminine charm had beco more enchanting.
“I ca to say goodbye.” Mi Xi moved his lips, struggling to speak.
“Of course, don’t think too much of it.
This item is indeed precious and hard to co by.
I’m giving it to you to make up for my mistake.
If you don’t want it, just throw it away!”
With that, Mi Xi stood up from his seat, his tone cold, “Also, this is the last ti I’m helping you.
After this, I’m going abroad and I definitely won’t bother you again.”
He then walked out of the coffee shop with long strides.
By the ti Gu Xiaoxi ran out of the coffee shop, he had already vanished.
With the box in her hand, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t quite identify her feelings.
Instinctively, she felt that if she accepted his gift, she would owe him more and more.
Every ti he saved everyone, he wouldn’t let anyone repay him.
Even when he accidentally injured her, he tried his best to compensate her.
This man, who silently did many things without seeking anything in return.
She was afraid to encounter him again.
The feeling of owing soone isn’t pleasant.
Gu Xiaoxi gripped the box in her hand.
Was she really going to throw it away?
Not to ntion that the item was hard to co by.
And, at such a crucial ti, if she didn’t regain her strength, how could she help Young Master Quan defeat the Nascent Soul?
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the busy street, holding the box tightly.
In a dessert shop window, Mi Xi stood, watching Gu Xiaoxi walking further and further away, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
But in the end, what good does reluctance do?
Breaking the rules ultimately invites punishnt.
“Big brother!
Can you please not go!” Mi Xue, her face streaked with tears, clutched Mi Xi’s hand.
Seeing his full body of wounds, her heart was already shattered.
But Mi Xi just smiled back, touching Mi Xue’s long hair, as they got into the car to go ho.
In the car, Mi Xi comforted her with a smile, “Take good care of Mi Luo.
Don’t tell her where I went!”
“She’s vigilant against you, so why do you keep doing this for her?
For her sake, you keep making mistakes, you keep being tortured.
You risked your life to steal the divine grass for her.
All your nearly five hundred years of cultivation…
gone.
After all that, what have you got?” Mi Xue cried out angrily, upset on his behalf.
He did so much, but never let the other person know.
Even Gu Xiaoxi showed a look of disinterest.
It was hard for her to watch and not feel indignant.
“Mi Xue!
Just like I take care of you and Luo Luo.
We didn’t even know each other before, but I still took you as my responsibility.
If you still acknowledge as your brother, keep so words to yourself,” Mi Xi said coldly, but his face turned even paler in an instant.
He protected her, not wanting to beco her burden.
If it was just for her to repay him, he wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
“Brother!…”
Mi Xue wanted to say more, but Mi Xi stopped her, “Enough, Mi Xue!
I hope you’ll be obedient.”
