Chapter 1685 - 1682: They Turned Out to Be Mother and Daughter
Upon hearing Liu Shimei’s encounters filled with sorrow and vicissitudes, Xu Wendong’s heart felt as though it was being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.
In that instant.
A strong feeling of suffocation surged into his heart, giving him an almost suffocating illusion.
He knew well that the relationship between Liu Shimei and her husband Zhang Jin was like a bottomless deep pool, profound and indestructible.
They had once walked hand in hand through every corner of life, weaving their own beautiful dreams and pictures of happiness.
Therefore, Zhang Jin’s sudden departure was not merely losing a partner for Liu Shimei.
It was undoubtedly a cataclysm akin to heaven and earth collapsing, mercilessly shattering her once complete and beautiful world, leaving only endless darkness and pain to spread wantonly in her life.
Similarly, he could imagine Liu Shimei alone, carrying the big belly high due to nurturing new life, dragging heavy and tired steps, stepping into a completely unfamiliar, cold, and un-belonging city.
Especially during that long and agonizing moment of childbirth, she could only rely on her own tenacious will and a faint hope for the future, struggling alone in the cold hospital room permeated with the scent of disinfectant, enduring pain and fear unfathomable to ordinary people.
And after the child was born, for countless days and nights, she single-handedly took on the heavy burden of raising her child.
Whether it was the chaos when the child cried at midnight or facing helplessness and bewilderment during life’s hardships, she could only grit her teeth and quietly endure alone, moving step by step on the thorny and bumpy road of life.
All of this, all in pursuit of her own path!
Xu Wendong instinctively tightened his arms, pulling Liu Shimei tightly into his embrace, as if only then could he provide her with a trace of warmth and comfort, slightly dispelling the haze accumulated in her heart over the years.
His lips trembled slightly, his voice soft yet filled with endless guilt and pity, he couldn’t help but sigh: "Sister Shimei, you have suffered!"
Liu Shimei raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes interwoven with tears and joy, gazing tenderly at Xu Wendong.
Deep within her eyes, the emotions suppressed for years erupted like a volcano, unabashedly revealing the indescribable joy and satisfaction at that moment deep in her heart.
"Even though I’ve endured endless suffering, waiting for you has brought sweetness after bitterness!"
Xu Wendong’s expression was solemn, he nodded seriously, his gaze firm and ardent, as if committing silently in his heart the most solemn vow.
He spoke with profound affection: "Sister Shimei, for the rest of my life, I will wholeheartedly dedicate my actions to make up for all the regrets you’ve harbored over the years."
Upon hearing this, waves of emotion surged in Liu Shimei’s heart, joy, and gratitude flooding in like tide, tears bursting forth.
She slightly stood on tiptoe, gently kissing Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong responded passionately without hesitation, arms tightly enveloping her, immersed in this deep affection.
Until both were nearly suffocating, Xu Wendong gradually paused, an uncontrollable strong longing and impulse surged within him, eager to express all the longing of eighteen years.
"Shall we go upstairs?" Liu Shimei’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes full of tender emotion, gazing lovingly at Xu Wendong.
Her blushing face resembled a ripe peach, fresh and radiant, exuding an enticing glow, inciting a tender love and impulse, wishing to take a gentle bite.
No need for excessive verbal expression, the tacit understanding between the two had clicked, both could truly feel the intense emotions and desires surging deep within.
Xu Wendong felt his throat dry, mouth watering, his heart eager to pour the long-suppressed longing and deep affection entirely into her.
However, just as the passion was about to ignite at its peak, Xu Wendong seemed to be struck by a bolt of spiritual light, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
His gaze froze instantly, a shadow of fear quietly surfaced: "Sister Shimei, is your daughter named Zhang Nian?"
Liu Shimei’s beautiful eyes also showed a hint of disbelief, she hesitated slightly and asked softly: "How did you know my daughter is named Zhang Nian?"
This brief question and answer was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Xu Wendong’s mind.
He stood motionless on the spot, as if hit by an immobilization spell, unable to move.
Meanwhile, the many doubts lingering in his heart for a long time, at this moment, were like puzzle pieces, falling into place, suddenly enlightened.
For instance, the inexplicable sense of familiarity when first seeing Zhang Nian.
Or the bizarre situation where he couldn’t see through her life destiny despite using Face Reading.
Knowing she was Sister Shimei’s daughter, all of this suddenly cleared up, resolving seamlessly.
Although he and Zhang Nian were first meeting, having no intersection in life.
But...
He has emotional entanglements with her mother!
Of course.
This isn’t the most important.
The most important thing is, Xu Wendong found out why Zhang Nian mentioned seeing his core piece.
Because...
When he left Earth eighteen years ago, he had visited Liu Shimei in Haicheng, she was heavily pregnant at that time.
He also unlocked his first experience with a pregnant woman.
Zhang Nian, possessing an extremely rare Chaos Cold Ice Body, likely saw his core at that time...
After regaining his senses.
Xu Wendong, embarrassed, recounted his acquaintance with Zhang Nian, including the subsequent dual cultivation occurrence.
He didn’t intend to hide anything from Liu Shimei.
Seeing Liu Shimei’s shocked reaction, beads of cold sweat appeared on Xu Wendong’s forehead, he unconsciously swallowed: "Sister, I didn’t know Nian Nian was your daughter, had I known..."
Liu Shimei stared at him, calmly asking: "If you knew, what would you have done?"
"If I knew... I would definitely still use that method to save her." Xu Wendong bowed his head full of shame, Liu Shimei held a special place in his heart.
If he had known Zhang Nian was her daughter, Xu Wendong would still have saved her that way.
He absolutely couldn’t bear to see Liu Shimei’s daughter face any mishap.
After all.
This woman really is too pitiful!
Liu Shimei smiled warmly, speaking softly: "Wendong, sister knows your character, there’s no need to blame yourself for this matter."
Xu Wendong looked up at her, his eyes complicated: "You really don’t mind?"
Liu Shimei snorted softly, her face showing displeasure: "You heartless man, have you forgotten what I said eighteen years ago?"
