Chapter 638 Don't worry, I've got everything covered.
“Yes.” Kong Wange took his hand. “I was so scared just now that my thoughts were all jumbled up. Come on, let’s go back and talk things out…”
"Let's take it easy for now?" Murong Ting sighed. "My aunt is very emotional right now, and she won't listen to anything I say."
He sighed and slowly explained to her, "I was young when my parents left, so the blow to me was only temporary. The wounds healed over time. If I had to say who hurt me the most, it would be my aunt."
“My maternal grandparents passed away early, and the An family was almost entirely supported by my eldest aunt. People say that the eldest brother is like a father, and my eldest aunt is like a mother. She worked hard to raise my other aunts, and her feelings for them were not just as much as for her younger sisters, but also like that of half her own daughters. So the death of my parents was a great blow to her.”
"Over the years, she has been targeting the Wen family. On the surface, it is outwardly a look of hatred, but in reality, it is more because she cannot bear the loss of my parents, so she must find an object to vent her anger on."
"Later, she learned that the person who killed them was not the Wen family, but Boss Tang. She kept looking for clues about Boss Tang, but the more she did so, the easier it was for her to be used by people with ulterior motives."
Kong Wange nodded. Although she felt much more at ease, she still couldn't help but act coy in front of Murong Ting: "Ting, what would you do if my biological father were Boss Tang?"
Murong Ting understood the emotions in her eyes and pulled her into his arms: "Even if it is, so what? He is him, and you are you. He has never raised you in his life, and you have never even met once. Just because he has the title of your father, I have to turn you from lovers into enemies? Impossible, I will not accept it."
"We've been through so many ups and downs to be together. From the day I proposed to you again, I made up my mind that nothing in this life could separate us again. I mean what I say," Murong Ting said, emphasizing each word.
Kong Wange couldn't hold back her tears, which dripped down and soaked into his clothes.
She whispered, "Why are you so good to me?"
"I only have one Wanwan. If I don't cherish and love her properly, do I want to watch you get angry and leave again, and I'll be all alone again? I'm not stupid."
Kong Wange chuckled, "You're getting more and more glib."
"This isn't being glib, it's being driven by emotion." Murong Ting released her and flicked her nose: "Not sad anymore?"
Kong Wange nodded: "Much better."
After she finished speaking, as if remembering something, she continued, "Tell me, if someone really did sabotage this, who would it be?"
"The person who could do this must be extremely familiar with the inside story of that year, and also extremely familiar with you and me, and even the An family," Murong Ting pondered.
Kong Wange followed his train of thought and said, "That's right, but what good would it do him to sow discord between us and the An family?"
Murong Ting said, "If this is confirmed, then your father will truly be the murderer of my parents. Once we become adversaries, some business collaborations between the Wen and Murong families will most likely be terminated, and the future interactions between the Wen and An families will certainly be further affected..."
"So, the other party is using a small investment to achieve a large return, playing a long game?" Kong Wange frowned. "Could it be Wen Luoyun? We don't have many enemies in Kyoto, and I can't think of anyone else who would hate us so much besides her. Also, she suddenly disappeared after leaving the Wen family; perhaps she's hiding in the shadows."
Murong Ting patted her head, his eyes darkening slightly: "Your guess is not unreasonable. In short, it's either her or that Boss Tang. I will find a way to investigate this matter."
"They're just bedbugs in the mud. If they want to hide, we can just drain the mud and put them in the sunlight. Let's see where they can hide then."
He kissed her forehead as he spoke: "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Feeling the warmth continuously emanating from the other person, Kong Wange let out a long breath and nodded.
After Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone was in a lazy state.
The Shadow Gate gave its subordinates a holiday, but Hou Kai and a few others couldn't stand the boredom and insisted on visiting Old Han's house. Helpless, Han Xu had no choice but to take a group of people back to his own home.
Shen Li has an elderly mother at home in Jiangcheng. He spends the Spring Festival with his mother back in his hometown.
As for Qin Leilei, he mysteriously disappeared after a woman in black came to the Shadow Gate looking for him.
Therefore, the usually bustling doorway suddenly became empty, leaving only Qin Feng and Zhou Qiao.
The Chinese New Year naturally makes people want to leave behind all their usual worries and stresses and have a few days of carefree and unrestrained fun.
Early in the morning, Zhou Qiao took Qin Feng to the back mountain of Yingmen.
The fresh flowers I bought before the Lunar New Year have wilted quite a bit these past few days.
Zhou Qiao was a restless person, so she immediately decided to replace all the flowers in the room. However, few flower shops were open. She had been thinking about the plum trees on the back mountain for a while, so she simply took Qin Feng with her and asked him to help pick a few fresh branches to use for decoration.
At that moment, she was directing Qin Feng to climb the tree: "A little to the left, the branch on the left blooms better!"
"Okay, okay, that's enough!"
A moment later, Qin Feng jumped down, clutching several brightly colored red plum blossoms in his hand, and handed them to Zhou Qiao: "Is that enough?"
Zhou Qiao smiled and took it: "That's enough, that's enough!"
The bright plum blossoms are in full bloom, and some are still budding, making it look very festive.
Zhou Qiao held it in her hands, clearly delighted, and turned to Qin Feng, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Sect Master!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "That's it?"
Seeing that he seemed to be waiting for her to come over, Zhou Qiao snorted, but still leaned over and kissed his cheek. Then, blushing, she said, "Is this okay now?"
Qin Feng's brows relaxed: "That's more like it."
"Hmph, you're always trying to take advantage of me!" Zhou Qiao glared at him.
Qin Feng smiled and rubbed her head: "Alright, let's go down the mountain. It's too cold, or you'll catch a cold."
Zhou Qiao, carrying a large cluster of plum blossoms, didn't have time to think about anything else and turned around to skip and hop down the mountain.
Qin Feng looked at her energetic back with a gentle and doting gaze.
Are you content?
Of course not.
He once thought that he would be incredibly content if they could be together.
But after they actually got together, he discovered that people are all greedy creatures.
After he got together with her, he wanted to see her all the time.
Seeing her all the time is like wanting to kiss her every day.
And when she kissed him once, he wanted to kiss her ten times in return; he wanted to hold her tightly, so that she would always only have eyes for him...
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.
He knew she was cheerful, lively, and loved freedom, so he knew he couldn't possibly restrain her.
He and she restrained themselves every single moment, afraid that revealing too much of his possessiveness would scare her away.
Who would have thought that one day he would be "tortured" by this love affair that he had never cared about before, and even find it sweet?
A helpless smile appeared on his lips. He sighed and said to Zhou Qiao ahead, "Watch your step, slow down!"
After catching up with her, he simply took most of the plum blossom branch from her hand, leaving only two branches for her to play with.
Seeing that the snow from a few days ago still lingered on the mountain, Zhou Qiao suddenly felt like taking pictures again.
While I was taking pictures, a notification suddenly popped up on my phone.
Upon seeing this, she immediately exclaimed "Ah!" and froze.
