"Who is Xin Xin's birth mother?"
Feng Ninghe looked up at Si Jianye.
Her confusion grew stronger.
The feeling of blood connection could not be wrong; Xin Xin and she must be related!
But back then, her child was dead.
Feng Qingcheng had personally cut open her abdomen. That woman was ruthless and would never let her child live!
What on earth was going on?
Si Jianye's expression turned grim, a shadow filling his eyes as the veins in his clenched fist bulged.
He had never imagined that Feng Ninghe was Xin Xin's birth mother.
It was Feng Ninghe who had taken advantage of him five years ago and abducted him! It was also she who had heartlessly abandoned Xin Xin!
Si Jianye suppressed his surging anger and averted his gaze. "Let's talk somewhere else."
He did not want their conversation to affect Si Xin Xin.
Feng Ninghe did not hesitate and strode out of the room.
Outside, A Xi and the others were guarding.
Seeing Si Jianye leave the room, A Xi instinctively took a step forward, intending to report the news of Feng Qingcheng's arrival.
But upon seeing Si Jianye's displeased expression, his cold eyes seeming to want to devour them, A Xi stopped in his tracks.
Only after they had walked far away did Old Man Xu speak, "Why do they both look so strange?"
Xiao Zhao blinked his azure eyes, a solemn expression on his small face. "Could it be that treating Xin Xin failed?"
A Xi pondered for a moment and then strode towards the room. "I'll go check on Miss's condition."
Si Xin Xin's eyes were tightly closed as she meditated. Her aura was very stable.
Afterward, A Xi closed the door and shook her head at everyone. "Miss is fine, her aura is stable. It seems the treatment was successful."
Old Man Xu raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with intense doubt. "If that's the case, then why do they both look so terrible?"
In a quiet corner of the mansion,
The two figures stopped.
Si Jianye's cold eyes glinted with frost, his gaze, tinged with scrutiny, swept over Feng Ninghe inch by inch.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. You have a beautiful appearance but are actually cruel and wicked."
The man's voice carried a hint of mockery and displeasure.
Feng Ninghe was slightly taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
In Si Jianye's eyes, this woman was vicious for heartlessly abandoning Xin Xin.
Ten months of pregnancy, and she just threw her away!
He thought Xin Xin's mother was dead, so he didn't think much of it. Who knew that Feng Ninghe would claim to be Xin Xin's mother?
It was all for naught that Xin Xin had been hoping to see her mother for so many years.
Xin Xin was so adorable, yet she could heartlessly abandon her!
The chill around Si Jianye spread slightly, his expression grim. Beneath his sharp eyebrows, his eyes were frosted over. "Five years ago, you gave birth but did not raise her. Why did you abandon Xin Xin? If Feng Qingcheng hadn't intervened and brought Xin Xin to me back then, she would already be dead!"
Feng Ninghe's eyes instantly sharpened.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, freezing her body to the ground, unable to move. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xin Xin... was her child!
No wonder she always felt a connection with Xin Xin. There were very few people in this world who possessed Feng Yuan, and she actually encountered one.
She had thought Feng Qingcheng would kill her child, but she hadn't expected her to send the child to Si Jianye.
Back then... the man she had forcibly taken with her Nascent Soul cultivation was Si Jianye?
For a moment, Feng Ninghe hadn't fully processed it, her mind racing.
"Back then, Feng Qingcheng cut open my abdomen to take the child, and threw me to the wolves. I thought the child was dead, but I didn't expect her to still be alive."
"Is raising a child difficult for me? Why would I give birth and not raise her? Pregnancy for ten months was extremely arduous. My feelings for Xin Xin are no less than yours."
Feng Ninghe met the man's gaze, each word slowly spoken from her mouth.
Her words also made Si Jianye furrow his brows, his grim eyes hiding unfathomable depth. "You didn't know Xin Xin was alive?"
When Feng Qingcheng had presented the child to him, she had said that the child's mother gave birth but did not raise her, and that she had saved the child.
It was precisely because of this that he had tolerated Feng Qingcheng for so long.
Otherwise, based on Feng Qingcheng alone, she wouldn't have been qualified to speak with him.
Feng Ninghe sneered, letting out a muffled hum. "If I had known my child was alive, how could I have been willing to abandon her?"
Her child naturally had to stay by her side.
Si Jianye's intense gaze swept over her inch by inch. "Do you know how much Xin Xin has missed you all these years? How desperately she longed for a mother, yet you lived carefree and happy."
His resentment towards Feng Ninghe only grew.
Even if there were reasons, Feng Ninghe had never searched for Xin Xin over the years, making her irresponsible.
Feng Ninghe subtly raised her delicate eyebrows, meeting the man's gaze. "I said, I thought she was dead. Since my child is alive, I will naturally take good care of her. From now on, Xin Xin's matters will not trouble you. I will not let her suffer any grievances."
She would use all her strength to cherish and dote on Xin Xin.
She would also make up for the five years of missed companionship by staying by Xin Xin's side.
"Feng Ninghe, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Si Jianye narrowed his eyes dismissively, his cold gaze utterly indifferent. "You probably haven't thought of Xin Xin all these years. Now that you know she's alive, you're in a hurry to take her away. Do you think I'll be at ease handing her over to you?"
Feng Ninghe refused to back down, looking directly at the man. "Xin Xin is my child, and I will naturally not mistreat her."
A wild thought even crossed her mind.
Once all matters were settled, she would elope with Xin Xin.
Whether Xin Xin had a father was not important; having a mother was the most important thing!
There was only a mother's love in the world. As for fathers, men were all unreliable!
Si Jianye looked at her as if she were a joke, his indifferent gaze looking down, his face icy cold. "Feng Ninghe, I have been taking care of Xin Xin all these years, and she has long been accustomed to it. You disappeared from her life for five years, and now you want to take her away the moment you appear. Don't dream."
In these recent days, Feng Ninghe had been very good to Xin Xin.
But this was what she should have done.
As a mother, it was natural to care for a young and ignorant child.
If it weren't for Feng Qingcheng, how could Feng Ninghe have been separated from her child? How could Xin Xin have suffered so much over the years?
Only today did she realize that Xin Xin was her child.
"Xin Xin is the child I carried and gave birth to after ten months of hardship. Today, I must take her away! I will make it up to her properly."
Feng Ninghe's eyes were resolute, her words decisive.
Si Jianye crossed his arms, tilting his head slightly. His chiseled face held a pair of extremely sharp hawk-like eyes.
A chilling male voice slowly emerged from his mouth. "Xin Xin's congenital deficiencies were caused by you. If you had taken good care of yourself during your pregnancy, she wouldn't have had to suffer so many grievances over the years. How will you make it up to her? Are you sure you can make amends?"
Every time she had an attack, Xin Xin was in unbearable pain.
At such a young age, she had to endure so much, and even couldn't see her so-called mother.
