Li Xueli looked at her with an incredulous expression.
Situ's eyes widened even more.
No one expected that Su Xi would choose to stand on Situ's side.
“He didn’t intentionally abandon us back then. He had a mission to complete and was afraid that taking us with him would be dangerous.”
Su Xi took out a letter from her person and handed it to Li Xueli. "He didn't leave without saying goodbye. He did leave a letter, but Li Xuemei took it."
Li Xueli opened the letter and read it.
My emotions, which I had just managed to stabilize, spiraled out of control again.
She then walked towards Situ, crying and hitting him, "Then why didn't you come back sooner? Do you know how much I've suffered? How have I endured all these years?"
"What kind of life is our daughter living?"
Situ stood there, letting her hit him. "I came back, but you were gone. Over the years, I have never stopped looking for you, but I have never found a single clue."
After saying that, he hugged Li Xueli tightly. "I deserve to die. If you hate me or are angry with me, then beat me to death, but please don't leave me, okay?"
Li Xueli nestled in his arms, crying her heart out.
The pressure on his hands gradually lessened.
Su Xi's vision was blurry, and a tear fell from her eye.
Zhou Jingming held her close, nestled against his chest, and stroked her hair. "Second Master Si has always been a very good person. I heard my parents talk about him a lot back then. He's a responsible man and would never abandon his wife and daughter."
The reason why the Lord of Qianye Pavilion has always refused to reveal his identity to me is precisely because he is afraid of implicating me and bringing danger upon me.
Su Xi was feeling heavy-hearted just a moment ago, but when she heard those words, she froze.
What did you just say?
Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
Zhou Jingming leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My wife is the Thousand Nights Pavilion Master of Fengxiang Pavilion, isn't she?"
"How did you know?" Su Xi's heart was pounding.
Zhou Jingming raised his lips slightly, "Guess."
Su Xi stared at his face for a long time, and suddenly a figure flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. "So, you really are Mr. Jiu?"
She had doubted Zhou Jingming's identity more than once throughout her life.
However, no clues could be found to prove it.
Mr. Jiu did not appear again during this period.
A lot of things happened.
She didn't think much of it.
Unexpectedly, she and Zhou Jingming were so open with each other in this kind of setting.
Zhou Jingming said, "It's me."
"Well, you dare to play me!" Su Xi pinched him lightly.
Zhou Jingming groaned in pain, "You didn't tell me either."
Su Xi retorted, "Didn't you just say that I was doing this to protect you?"
“I’m doing this to protect you.” Zhou Jingming stared into her eyes, his dark pupils incredibly serious.
They both silently sacrificed for each other.
Therefore, Zhou Jingming was not angry at all when he learned Su Xi's identity.
He has been acting alongside her ever since.
He also enjoyed this cat-and-mouse game with her.
This way, we can see a side of Su Xi that is unknown to others.
Su Xi choked up, "When did you find out?"
Apart from those close to her, no one ever knew her identity.
Even when she appears in public, she always wears a disguise.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any flaws.
Zhou Jingming put his arm around her, his smile teasing, "I noticed it the first time I met you."
"How could that be?"
Su Xi didn't believe it.
Zhou Jingming spoke ambiguously, blowing a warm breath into her ear, "How is it impossible? You are my wife. No one knows your features and smell better than me."
Su Xi: "Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"
It's enough to just know about her body.
I can still smell her scent?
Whether as the master of Qianye Pavilion or Su Xi, she never uses perfume.
This is to avoid being recognized.
However, Zhou Jingming said that he was familiar with her taste.
Su Xi naturally didn't believe it.
“If you say so, then so be it.” Zhou Jingming sniffed her hair. “Your scent is not easy to detect, but the fragrance of your hair gives away your identity.”
Su Xi recalled her several encounters with Mr. Jiu.
The two of them had close contact.
So Zhou Jingming already knew it was her at that time, which is why he deliberately flirted with her.
This cunning man.
That's so thoughtful!
"I'll settle this score with you later!" There are many things that are not convenient to discuss in detail here.
The most important thing right now is to manage their family relationships.
Li Xueli's emotions gradually stabilized, and it was clear that she was slowly forgiving Situ.
Si Nan and Hua Qing left at some point, leaving only the four of them in the entire ward.
Li Xueli pulled away from Situ's embrace, her voice hoarse from crying, "Even if you have your reasons, you don't deserve to forgive us for making my daughter and me suffer for over twenty years."
“Yes, I deserve to die,” Situ confessed.
“Mom, Dad already knows he was wrong,” Su Xi suddenly said.
Situ was taken aback.
A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Xi'er, what did you just call me?"
Su Xigang had spoken offhand and hadn't expected his shout to come out so naturally.
Zhou Jingming also called out, "Father-in-law."
Situ's eyes welled up with tears again. "My good daughter, I've wronged you all these years. I will make it up to you for the rest of my life."
"Anyone can say nice things, but actions speak louder than words," Su Xi said, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Situ nodded. "Xi'er is right. Dad will definitely prove with his actions that this kind of thing will never happen again."
Li Xueli's resentment was also relieved by Su Xi's call of "Dad".
Overjoyed, she burst into tears and hugged Su Xi again.
Situ opened his arms and hugged the mother and daughter tightly.
"From now on, our family will never be separated again."
Seeing this, Zhou Jingming also withdrew.
This is the best ending.
His wife was found to be her biological family.
For the rest of her life, she will have two more people who love her.
"Oh, right, I have some good news to tell you." Su Xi gently stroked her belly and smiled slightly, "I'm pregnant, you're going to be grandparents."
The family had just been reunited.
And here comes this good news.
It can be described as a double celebration.
Li Xueli was very excited, "I'm going to be a grandmother, I'm going to hold my grandson."
Situ was equally pleased.
Her daughter has found a good home.
I am happy now.
He has nothing left to worry about.
“If he treats you badly, tell Dad, and Dad will help you get revenge,” Situ said.
Su Xi looked towards the door, where Zhou Jingming was standing guard, his face full of happy smiles. "No, he is the man who loves me the most in this world. He was before, he is now, and he will always be."
Hearing her say that, Situ felt a little disappointed, but he still forced a smile and said, "Dad will work hard to become the best man in your heart."
