Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Regained Joy After a Loss
Xiao Qing gave her a glance, "Not a hint of sincerity in your apology."
Sincerity?
"Mommy, what’s sincerity? Can you eat it?"
"Sincerity is..." Xiao Qing was at a loss for words, how should she explain such a concept?
Seeing her stuck, the little treasure covered her mouth and snickered, "Mommy’s dumb, you don’t even know and you’re asking me."
Xiao Qing’s face darkened, as she hugged the little treasure into her arms and patted her little head, "Look at you, so tiny, who on earth did you inherit these clever tricks from?"
While saying this, an image of a stunningly handsome man’s face flashed through Xiao Qing’s mind.
She was bewildered, what did this man have to do with anything?
Setting aside these irrelevant thoughts, Xiao Qing looked at the little treasure very earnestly: "If there’s a next time, I will send you to the United States, and afterward you’ll live with grandma and grandpa, while I stay here with brother."
Upon hearing this, the little treasure immediately wilted, quickly hugging Xiao Qing’s neck and kissing her face, "Mommy, I know you’re the best, little treasure loves mommy the most, little treasure can’t bear to be away from mommy."
Xiao Qing wiped the saliva off her face, the corners of her mouth twitching involuntarily. Little treasure was so good at sweet-talking, she definitely didn’t inherit this from her!
"Alright, drenching my face with your saliva... Remember, three strikes and you’re out, and this is already the second time. If there’s a third, you’ll pack your bags yourself and wait for me to send you to the United States."
The little treasure pouted, saying aggrievedly, "Okay."
This matter finally came to an end.
However, Xiao Qing’s mood was not as peaceful as when she first returned to the country. She always felt her past was within reach around her, yet seemed full of mysteries.
For instance, why did so many people recognize her? Was she really that man’s deceased wife?
Xiao Qing couldn’t sleep, so she got up to look at the scenery outside the window.
She had to admit, the night view of City B was beautiful, with brilliant lights and a scene of peace and prosperity. As she looked on, she felt as if her heart was missing a piece.
Whenever she quieted her mind, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.
Like the man she met today, she could feel the wild joy of having regained something precious when he held her, but he showed none of it, his feelings completely enveloped within his embrace.
This was a deep and reserved man.
Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something and walked to the dressing table. She pulled open a drawer, took out his suicide note again, and read it over.
Piecing it together with her feelings today, Xiao Qing thought, his deceased wife was truly lucky to have received such profound love from such an outstanding man—she must have saved the galaxy in a past life.
What a pity, the beauty was doomed.
Throughout the night, the room was filled with sighs until the late hours.
Meanwhile, in Building 8, Floor 18 of Area E.
Peng Yi stood in front of Lu Jinyang, quietly waiting for the man sitting at the desk to speak. Half an hour had passed since he arrived, but neither of them had uttered a word since he walked in.
Just when Peng Yi thought that he would not speak tonight, Lu Jinyang slowly began to talk.
He placed several photos on the table, "Investigate everything about this woman and these two children over the past five years."
Upon seeing the woman in the pictures, Peng Yi’s pupils shrank sharply. Wasn’t this the person on the photos...
He didn’t ask any more questions; he simply picked up the photos and responded with a single word, "Okay."
Before leaving the room, Peng Yi instinctively looked back and saw the man engrossed in something on his computer, apparently searching for something.
His feelings were not as tumultuous as Leng Yixing’s, but he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
After Peng Yi left, Lu Jinyang opened a web page and typed in "Xiao Qing," a name Leng Yixing had finally learned after several twists and turns.
