Chapter 65: The Truth

  Jiang Xue'er faced Ran Lingfeng, unsure of how to start the conversation. "Lingfeng, do you believe that this world has ghosts and spirits?"

  "What? Ghosts and gods?" Ruan Lingfeng was taken aback by Jiang Xue'er's question, as if she was joking. Did ghosts and gods really exist in this world?

  "Yes, would you believe it if I did?" Jiang Xue'er knew that if she suddenly said it out loud, that ridiculous thing of hers, not to mention Ran Lingfeng wouldn't be able to believe it, probably even the scientists in this world wouldn't be able to believe it.

  "Jiang Xue'er, what kind of joke are you playing? How can there be ghosts and gods in this world?" Ruan Lingfeng was really helpless about this absurd talk.

  "Ling Feng, do you still remember that fight between you and Lin Ying at the Beiguo Hotel? The vase that suddenly flew over and knocked out the person under Lin Ying's control was me. Why did I suddenly appear with a gun pointed at Lin Ying that time? It was magic, I used magic to suddenly appear in front of you."

  "Magic?" Ruan Lingfeng couldn't believe his ears, his Xue'er was actually using magic, how could this be possible? Had he waited for her all these years just to hear her say something that wasn't true.

  "On the day we got engaged, I fell into the sea and was rescued by a spirit bird, which is the same bird we saved in the Dream Garden. Actually, it's not an ordinary bird. After it rescued me, I lived on a deserted island for over two months. Later, it told me that you would encounter difficulties and gave me a spiritual stone. The power of that stone is unmatched, and it allowed me to return to save you. However, I'm not allowed to use my powers in front of people. If I do, the stone's power will weaken, and it will also harm human bodies. Since using my powers at the North Country Hotel, my body has been injured, and even on the night after we were in the Dream Garden, I discovered that when the stone is at its weakest, it absorbs your yang energy. The next day, seeing your pale face, I was really scared. So, when Lin Ying came to kidnap me that day, I had no choice but to let him take me away."

  Ran Lingfeng really couldn't believe what Jiang Xue'er was saying, this must be his Xue'er fooling him. He had waited bitterly for five years, could it be that he ended up listening to her tell an unrealistic story? "Xue'er, I don't believe you, what you're saying isn't true, is it?"

  "Ling Feng, I know this is hard to believe, but it's the truth." Jiang Xue'er saw the painful look on Ruan Lingfeng's face and didn't want things to be like this either. After returning home, they should have been able to live a happy life together as a family. In order to see him again, Jiang Xue'er had arranged for five years and worked hard for five years to get her life back on track, but he said he didn't believe it.

  "Xue Er, in the 5 years you've been gone, I've never blamed you. Do you know how much I miss you? I just want you to come back to me, that's all I care about. Please don't deceive me with unrealistic words, okay?"

  Jiang Xue'er wondered if she didn't want all these things to be non-existent, but this was the fact. How could she make Ruan Lingfeng believe her? At this time, Jiang Xue'er saw a crystal ball on Ruan Lingfeng's office desk. With a wave of Jiang Xue'er's hand, the crystal ball fell to the ground. Even if Ruan Lingfeng didn't believe it, he had to believe that the crystal ball was inexplicably falling to the ground.

  "Ling Feng, I know it's hard for you to believe this thing, now, you should believe it."

  Ran Lingfeng stared at the fragments on the ground, stunned for a moment. This is a huge thing, isn't it? The world has someone who can use magic, how can the people believe this if they find out. Ran Lingfeng thought of Jiang Xue'er's words earlier, saying that using magic in front of people would harm her body, then what about him just now... Ran Lingfeng rushed to Jiang Xue'er's side and said urgently: "Xue'er, are you okay? Sorry, I didn't mean to not believe you, it's just that I couldn't accept it for a moment. How is your body?"

  "Ling Feng, I'm fine. You believe me now, don't you?" Jiang Xue'er asked with tears of joy in her eyes, earlier she was really afraid that Ruan Lingfeng would think she was deceiving him and wouldn't care about her anymore.

  Ran Ling Feng nodded desperately, how could he not believe it? What in the world could be more unbearable than losing his Xue Er? He didn't care what his Xue Er was, as long as she was fine. In fact, nothing else mattered. They had been apart for five years, and he couldn't help but believe that only having Xue Er was enough.

  "Xue Er, how are you now? If there's anything wrong, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you."

  Jiang Xue'er saw Ran Lingfeng's tense appearance, "Lingfeng, I'm fine. Actually, in these 5 years, I've already thought of a way to utilize the spirit stone. I won't be controlled by the spirit stone anymore, so I came back to find you."

  "Really, you scared me to death." Ruan Lingfeng pulled Jiang Xue'er onto the sofa. "Just now, you said those two kids were mine, what's going on? How could I have such big sons?" Ruan Lingfeng was afraid that Jiang Xue'er would think she was doubting her, so she quickly explained, "Don't worry, I just don't quite understand."

  Jiang Xue'er said: "Actually, Xiao Qi is not your son. Five years ago, after I was kidnapped by Lin Ying and taken to Geneva, I knew you would come to rescue me, but I still chose to leave. After becoming homeless, an old woman, who was Xiao Qi's grandmother, took me in. A month later, I discovered I was pregnant with that child, which is actually your son, Xiao Nan. Since Xiao Qi's grandmother passed away, I have been raising him as my own flesh and blood, together with Xiao Nan."

  "So I'm going to be a dad!" Ruan Lingfeng exclaimed excitedly.

  "Yes, I originally wanted to bring them to China to find you, but later found out that you had moved the company here 5 years ago. And then I heard that you were going to hire a secretary, so I thought I'd give you a surprise. Who knew that before I even saw you, you went on a business trip." Jiang Xue'er thought about how she hadn't seen Ran Lingfeng that day, and still managed to pile up a lot of work for her to do. Fortunately, her work efficiency was high, or else an ordinary person would have been busy for several days.

  "Why didn't you call me then? The day I was on a business trip in China, I received your email and thought I saw it wrong. I waited for an entire night, but you didn't respond to me." Ran Lingfeng couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about this. Jiang Xueer gave him a sweet treat after giving him a bitter one - was this his life? Indeed, that's what his life was like.

  "Who told you to give me so much work to do, making me work overtime every day? Moreover, I sent the email using the company's internal mailbox, and you didn't even notice that."

  It wasn't until now that Ling Feng realized it was strange, normally no one could send emails to his mailbox, how did he suddenly receive such an email. It turned out that he himself didn't notice, "Who told you to make me wait for so long, my mind is filled with thoughts of you, I don't have time to think about anything else."

  "Really? Don't you want to see your son then, I wonder how they're doing, every time we leave them at home, I miss them so much, shall we go back home?"

  "No, you're not allowed to think about others. I can only think of myself. Now is working hours, who says it's okay to mine? So now there are still two hours until off-work, these two hours are ours, and you can't go either."

  "Hey, Ruan Lingfeng, how can you be like this? You don't even want your own son. I wonder if they've eaten yet. What if they're starving? If you won't go, I'll go myself." Jiang Xue'er stood up and walked towards the door.

  "Hey, Jiang Xue'er, stop right there, who says you can't?" Jiang Xue'er stood at the door, looking at Ran Lingfeng's tense yet adorable expression, and burst out laughing.

  "I didn't want to go just now, but okay, let's go."

  Jiang Xue'er walked away by herself, Ruan Lingfeng went up and pulled her hand, they took the elevator together to the hall. The whole company saw them holding hands, it was really curious, and they started talking again. Today, their company's president and his own secretary held hands walking out of the building, tomorrow's news would definitely be headlines again.
