Translator: Vesper

Xiao Cheng Ya opened her eyes and looked at her daughter sitting in front of her, her eyes were filled with bitterness: “Why did you send him here?”

After misunderstanding him for so many years, Xiao Cheng Ya didn’t have the face to meet this man.

”Mother, I know what’s on your mind, you should already know about what happened to Nangong Yan, right?” Ning Meng Yao looked solemnly at Xiao Cheng Yao.

Xiao Cheng Ya nodded: “I know, he already told me everything, but I......”

”You still don’t believe it, right? If not for Nangong Yan confronting us with swords, you would definitely feel that Bai Mo is trying to sow discord in your relationship,” Ning Meng Yao naturally understood Xiao Cheng Ya’s thoughts and immediately said.

Xiao Cheng Ya remained silent for a while: “Yes, I really never expected, I slept for so many years and it was because of him,” When she thought of how anxious Nangong Yan looked at that time, Xiao Cheng Ya had a self-mocking smile.

How was he able to pretend so well? So well that she completely believed him.

”Mother, you are still young right now, you still have a long life ahead, there’s no need to feel sad for those people,” Nangong Yan had harmed Xiao Cheng Ya, but what’s the point for Xiao Cheng Ya to be immersed in sadness?

Life shouldn’t be like that. A person will not always only see a single scumbag their whole lives, just like her, she had also met one before.

But wasn’t she just as happy right now?

”Yao’er, you don’t understand.”

”Is there anything I don’t understand? When it comes to infatuation, Bai Mo is not weaker than Nangong Yan. He loves you more than Nangong Yan. I really doubt the purpose of Nangong Yan getting close to you,” Ning Meng Yao frowned in displeasure and said. She felt dissatisfied seeing Xiao Cheng Ya like this.

”Yao’er, you......”

”Mother, a human has a long lifespan, you would meet many kinds of people. Could it be that you plan to turn others away all because you were betrayed and harmed once? You can think of how Bai Mo has treated you over the past few days, could it be that you can only use your own body to force others?” Although Ning Meng Yao didn’t want to speak good things about Bai Mo, Bai Mo indeed did a great job.

Xiao Cheng Ya’s expression became pale. She had trapped herself in the past during this period of time and was unable to extricate herself over it.

As a result, her body was unable to recover and kept repeating itself. Later on, Bai Mo came over, his arrival caused her to stop thinking about those messy matters. Every day, she would think of ways to make him leave her sight, it even allowed her body to gradually recover. It was really ironic.

”Mother, ask yourself, he had been by your side for almost two decades, you all knew each other from young, even if you two cannot get together in the end, can’t you still be friends?”

She looked into her daughter’s eyes, Xiao Cheng Ya felt all her thoughts couldn’t escape from Ning Meng Yao.

”Yao’er, I understand. Let me give it some thought.”

Ning Meng Yao felt relieved: “Mother, I came anxiously to meet you because there’s something I want to tell you.”

”What happened?”

”Xiao Empire and Tong Bao Zhai are being attacked, Tian Chang and I need to return to help Qi Feng and the others. I hope you can return together with Bai Mo. We’ll pick you up once we settle things there, or perhaps you can ask Bai Mo to send you back once your body recovers.”

When she heard they were returning, Xiao Cheng Ya subconsciously wanted to follow them, but she remained silent when she thought of her current condition.

Something happened over there, they needed to rush back, she was definitely unable to endure it: “But......”

”Mother, I’m worried if you’re alone. It’s not known where Nangong Yan is right now, what can be done if he takes action against you?” Nangong Yan already knew Xiao Cheng Ya is awake, if Nangong Yan did something, it would be too late for her to even regret.

Xiao Cheng Ya pursed her lips and didn’t speak, seeing her acting like that, Ning Meng Yao let out a gentle sigh: “Mother, you can still be friends, don’t think too much, you need to think of how to recover quickly right now.”

”Mother understands, you all must be careful when you return.” Xiao Cheng Ya finally figured it out after talking to Ning Meng Yao.
