In this life, she came to atone for her sins and to protect the love of her life.
Ye Mohan was the love of her life, and she would protect him even at the cost of everything.
Ye Mohan's eyes were full of tenderness, and his usually stern face was now bathed in a rare gentle light. He hugged Jian Yixue tighter and said, "Yes, let's work hard together, and the future will definitely be as we wish."
——
One of the iron doors on the third underground level of Purgatory opened with a click, and Jian Yixue walked in, still wearing her mask.
At this moment, she didn't want Wu Xiao to know her identity, and at the same time, she wanted to protect the life in Wu Xiao's womb.
The reason she was so considerate of Wu Xiao was simply because she had once been a mother herself.
Otherwise, Wu Xiao wouldn't be worthy of such treatment.
The room was no longer the filthy room Wu Xiao had stayed in before, and Jian Yixue understood that this was probably Ye Mohan's arrangement.
Thinking of this, Jian Yixue felt a warmth in her heart. If she didn't have other things to do right now, she really wanted to thank Ye Mohan properly.
After all, such a considerate man is truly priceless.
Although the room was still simple, it was very clean and tidy.
Looking up, I saw Wu Xiao, who had already changed and washed, sitting calmly on the edge of the bed.
Perhaps hearing the noise at the door, she slowly raised her eyes to look.
Wu Xiao was no longer as out of control as before; this period of time had been enough for her to analyze her current situation.
From the moment someone arranged for her to take a bath and change her clothes, Wu Xiao knew that she was useful to the owner of this place, or more precisely, to the two people from earlier.
She received this treatment because of the arrival of these two people.
Although it was unclear what the other party intended for her to do.
But no matter what she did, she had no choice; she absolutely could not bear to return to her previous situation.
She would agree to anything as long as it would allow her to live, but for now, she decided to suppress her intense emotions.
Although she couldn't change anything, she wanted to fight for as many benefits as possible for herself.
Soon, Jian Yixue walked to the chair that had been prepared in advance and sat down casually, seemingly ignoring Wu Xiao's presence as if she couldn't see her at all.
Seeing this, Wu Xiao showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
In the past, she might have been furious at the woman's rudeness, but now, having experienced all of this, her edges have been smoothed out.
She knew that this was probably her only chance to leave.
If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know when she'll get another chance like this.
Wu Xiao looked at Jian Yixue with a calm expression, seemingly oblivious to the woman's disregard for her.
Seeing Wu Xiao's actions, Jian Yixue couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.
Indeed, hardship can smooth out a person's rough edges, and Wu Xiao in front of us is the best proof of that.
How could she have been so composed before?
If they could have, they wouldn't have made such a mess of things back then.
Jian Yixue turned her gaze to Wu Xiao in front of her, deliberately changing her usual tone of voice, and said in a low voice, "It seems that you knew I would come to find you."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Wu Xiao felt a strange sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite place who she was.
"I think I guessed it. Otherwise, why would things have changed after I begged you, given how long I've been here? It would be hard for you not to know."
What Wu Xiao said was indeed the truth.
She ran away from Zhao Heng that night, and then was inexplicably rescued... no, taken away. She woke up here, and had no idea what happened in between.
She had no idea what the person who took her away looked like or what their purpose was.
The woman in front of them and the man from before were the only people who had been here besides the guards.
That's why she desperately wanted to grasp at this lifeline.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It seems she wasn't as stupid as she thought.
Without his romantic mindset, Wu Xiao's intelligence was awakened when he was in dire straits.
"Hmm. Now that you know my purpose, I'll get straight to the point and there's no need to beat around the bush," Jian Yixue said calmly to Wu Xiao.
"Go ahead," Wu Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the woman not far away.
She was also curious to know what the woman would ask her to do.
Jian Yixue didn't rush to speak. Instead, she raised her hand and played with it in front of her eyes.
Then she withdrew her gaze and stared intently at her slender hands.
"It's nothing, I just want you to find a way to marry Zhao Heng."
"What?! Absolutely impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with terror and fear.
Sending her back to Zhao Heng was more terrifying to her than killing her.
Based on what she did to Zhao Heng, how could Zhao Heng possibly tolerate her!
That's a matter of a man's dignity; he would probably kill her without hesitation!
"What's impossible? Do you intend to stay here any longer?"
Jian Yixue frowned and looked coldly at Wu Xiao.
She wasn't unaware of Wu Xiao's concerns; she simply wanted to see if Wu Xiao was truly worth her treatment.
She wasn't unaware that Wu Xiao, instigated by her good-natured younger sister, also hated her. That's why she came with her face covered, not wanting Wu Xiao to know her identity and thus prevent any uncontrollable variables from affecting the plan.
Now, she has many things to do, but there are more important things to do than taking revenge on Zhao Heng, that scumbag.
For example, whether her mother is alive or dead, she wants to see her alive or dead.
All of this is still up for her to investigate; she doesn't have much time to spend on getting revenge on that scumbag right now.
She was very unwilling to let Zhao Heng live so easily, but it was the only option she could find.
Although she could secretly kill Zhao Heng, how could that possibly quell her hatred?
Wu Xiao's appearance was the best piece for her to control this matter.
She didn't know whether to praise Zhao Heng's skill in sowing seeds or to say that Wu Xiao's land was just good, as it produced a seed on the first try, which she truly admired.
Others were unaware that Zhao Heng was no longer able to have children, but she, as the one who administered the drug, knew very well.
Unless he encounters someone with far superior medical skills, Zhao Heng will likely be childless for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiao appeared out of nowhere, which helped her out of her predicament and gave her enough time.
While Wu Xiao was in a state of fear and anxiety, he suddenly heard the woman's cold voice and immediately came back to his senses.
Should we stay here?
