Chapter 314:1 Am Guilty
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now that Gu Yuyan had seen Shanon’s face with her own eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. As if Shanon had no threat to her. She refused to believe that any man could be so blind as to be attracted to a woman like Shanon.
So now, Gu Yuyan’s attitude toward Shanon had beco much nicer.
Rong Qi lowered her gaze and smiled faintly. She said, “If you want to express gratitude, just give money to , Miss Gu. I happen to be short on cash.” Hearing that, Gu Yuyan frowned slightly, but then her expression relaxed. She thought solving it with money was certainly good. So, Gu Yuyan chuckled softly and said, “Alright.”
However, a hint of disdain flashed through Gu Yuyan’s mind, although she didn’t show it on her face.
With this unexpected incident, Lu Chengzhou insisted on escorting Rong Qi downstairs himself. Unable to refuse him, she let him see her off.
Rong Qi contemplated whether she should find an opportunity to tell Lu Chengzhou the truth. But she was afraid of involving the innocent Lu Chengzhou.
Not long after Rong Qi returned to Clearcreek Mansion, Ye Nanshen also ca back.
Rong Qi sat at the dressing table, removing her makeup, when Ye Nanshen embraced her from behind. He said, “Little Qi, you don’t need to wear makeup anymore or go to Xihuang Bar for treatnt either. Just do it here at Clearcreek Mansion, with only the two of us.”
Rong Qi smiled, knowing Ye Nanshen had heard what those people had said about her. She spoke softly, “It’s okay, this isn’t my real appearance, and I don’t care what they say. Ye Nanshen, have you investigated ?”
After a mont of silence in the room, Rong Qi’s voice finally broke the quiet. Her face, devoid of makeup, appeared especially pure.
Rong Qi continued, “1 an, after realizing that I’m not a retard, after knowing that I might have concealed a lot of things from you, have you investigated ?”
Ye Nanshen brushed along Rong Qi’s black hair with his fingers and said, “If you want to tell , I’ll listen, Little Qi. If not, I won’t pry. You just need to know, I’m always there for you, soone you can rely on.”
Rong Qi’s heart slightly trembled, and she began speaking slowly, “1 learned dicine from my grandfather. Forty-two years ago, he conducted an experint. However, the laboratory exploded, and the experint failed. He was forced to step down from the position of Chairman of the Leucia Traditional Chinese dicine Association, and the incomplete reagent disappeared in that explosion. Because of that, my grandfather lived in seclusion, consud by guilt. He said he owed two lives, and he would never be able to repay that debt in his lifeti. I am here to atone for his sins. I was abandoned by my biological parents from birth, and it was my grandfather who raised and taught dicine. He said that I was born in this world to atone for his sins. 1 have been searching for the victims of that experint, using the identity of Shanon to relieve their suffering. But 1 know that the guilt cannot be completely absolved. There are countless victims of that experint.”
Then, Rong Qi spoke with a touch of irony, “It’s quite ridiculous. A few years ago, when my grandfather left without a word, 1 had already given up. But then 1 went abroad and t you. I decided to beco Shanon again. Ye Nanshen, 1 owe you. The K3 in your body is the virus released in that experint. I will cure you.”
Rong Qi’s last sentence was spoken lightly, as if she were promising Ye Nanshen, yet also as if she were speaking to herself.
In this world, apart from the predecessors who participated in the experint, Rong Qi was the one who understood the K3 virus the most. So, even though dical practitioners like Lu Chengzhou had tried their best, they could only alleviate Ye Nanshen’s pain, unable to truly treat him.
Encountering Ye Nanshen on the streets of rica when he was having an episode, made Rong Qi recall the painful mories completely, compelling her to face it all over again.
Ye Nanshen stood behind Rong Qi, and a trace of heartache flashed in his deep black eyes. He said, “I believe you. Little Qi, this isn’t your fault. When your grandfather conducted that experint, you hadn’t even been born yet. It has nothing to do with you. You’re not guilty, my Little Qi is pure. No one wanted that experint to fail. It wasn’t sothing you could control. You’ve done well already..”
