It was Ye Chen's lackey.
He messaged me saying he would be leaving the pass in three days and that I should prepare myself well, as these gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures were betrothal gifts he had collected for me over the past few hundred years.
Qingyan was even more excited than I was, looking at the dazzling betrothal gifts and praising Ye Chen for being so generous.
In the past, when I saw these gold and silver treasures, I would have been grinning from ear to ear just to get ink for my ink.
But now... these things that we can't take with us when we're born or when we die are just external possessions, and they no longer have any meaning for me.
I casually slumped back in my chair and replied to Ye Chen with a simple "Okay".
He then told Qingyan directly, "These betrothal gifts are for my family. You are my only family, and all of these will be yours from now on!"
Qingyan, however, said that with so much gold and silver, she could never spend it all in several lifetimes.
I jokingly told her, "Then give it to your son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-great-grandson!"
No sooner had I finished speaking than the baby in Qingyan's round belly, as if afraid that her mother would refuse this windfall, started to move at that very moment.
Qingyan clutched her stomach and rolled on the ground in pain.
Although I have some medical knowledge, while I have experienced childbirth before, this is the first time I have had a normal delivery like an ordinary person.
At this point, the child's head had not yet emerged; what appeared first was not the baby's head, but the baby's small, blood-soaked, bright red feet.
It's a sign of a difficult childbirth.
But the sight of those exposed feet reminded me of the child I abandoned in the Desolate Land of Demons.
I never even saw what he looked like, or even knew if he was a man or a woman. The only thing I remember is his pair of small, red legs that left a deep and unforgettable impression on me.
Qingyan is now suffering terribly in childbirth right in front of me, but I don't have the courage to go up and help her.
Finally, it was only when Qingyan was screaming for me in anguish that I snapped out of my daze and hurriedly called an ambulance for her and then called Shila to inform him.
But in the end, it was too late...
Qingyan and the child lay on the hospital bed and never woke up again.
When I informed Shila, he was on a business trip in another city to provide a better life for Qingyan and her child. When he had just gotten off the plane and was driving back, he called me and heard the bad news about Qingyan, but unfortunately, he was involved in a car accident.
Even when I stood before their bodies, I still couldn't believe how their lives had ended.
Then I remembered that I have a karmic constitution that brings bad luck to whoever gets close to me. I originally thought that I was approaching my birthday and would no longer affect their fate, but I never expected that they would still be affected by me in this life.
"Qingyan, this is your child, a girl, just as beautiful as you!"
I placed the child, who had already quietly closed his eyes, between Qingyan and Shila's remains.
Qingyan never saw her child before she died; she should have known that.
When I saw the child sleeping peacefully beside them, and witnessed the harmonious scene of the family of three, I could no longer hold back my emotions and began to cry silently.
I had the chance to save them...
After handling their funeral arrangements, on the night before my wedding with Ye Chen, I calmly put on the bright red wedding dress Ye Chen had given me—the Phoenix Cloud Robe.
"She just finished her friend's funeral and then held her own wedding. Ah Hua is really a kind and loyal girl."
Just as I finished applying lipstick and dressing up, my reclusive neighbor Ling Yan came into my boudoir, strolling in with a smile and a sarcastic tone.
My first impression of Ling Yan was that he had ulterior motives for being here. Entering my boudoir in the dead of night, speaking in a strange and uninvited manner, it seems that he can no longer hide his true colors today.
