Chapter 1519: Chapter 821. What did you say?
Chapter 821
“Mother, Little book can look after things here for you. Let’s go out for a trip; you must visit a certain place because someone is waiting for you…” Little Lingling said as she looked at Mo Jiuli.
Mo Jiuli stared at Little Lingling in confusion, not understanding what she meant. Suddenly, she recalled that before she left, her cousin seemed to have been close with Leng Canlei…
Could it be Canlei too? Mo Jiuli asked nervously, “Is it Canlei too?”
“Canlei? Who’s Canlei? Mother, I don’t know who you mean by Canlei, but the person there is definitely more important than Canlei. He’s Baobao’s father, the Young Master of the Di Clan…” Little Lingling said truthfully.
“What did you say?” Mo Jiuli asked in shock.
“Baobao’s father, he’s gravely injured. Mother, you should go see him! I’m afraid if we delay any longer, you won’t be able to see him one last time…” Little Lingling’s voice grew softer as she spoke.
Yet no matter how soft her voice became, Mo Jiuli heard her words distinctly, especially the phrase “one last time.” Mo Jiuli felt an explosion in her mind, leaving her thoughts in blank disarray.
She didn’t even know how she stepped out of the space. When she opened the door, she saw Guardian Hua, weak and frail, anxiously standing at her room’s doorway, looking toward it.
Mo Jiuli instantly recognized the weak state of Guardian Hua as the aftereffects of a contract recoil. Her voice hoarse, she asked, “Where is he?”
“Madam, you’re finally out. The master is at Emperor Mountain. Could you come with me to see—” Before Guardian Hua could finish speaking, Mo Jiuli had already vanished.
“Little Lingling, take him along!” Guardian Hua snapped back to her senses and realized he had somehow been brought to a strange lotus platform by a little girl. Mo Jiuli was also there, and they had already left Luohua Valley, heading toward Emperor Mountain.
Little Lingling was incredibly fast; before long, Mo Jiuli and Guardian Hua arrived at Emperor Mountain. Guardian Feng and Guardian An sensed their arrival and immediately ran out. Upon seeing Mo Jiuli and Guardian Hua, they quickly said, “Madam…”
“Where is he?” Mo Jiuli hoarsely asked.
“The master… is inside!” Guardian Feng replied.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli walked straight inside. The three guardians followed close behind her.
Just as Mo Jiuli entered, she saw Di Chen sitting on the floor, his voice choked with grief, saying, “Ahan… it’s your master’s incompetence…”
“Master…” Mo Jiuli cried out in surprise.
When Di Chen heard her voice, he turned around and saw Mo Jiuli pale-faced at the entrance. With some reluctance, he said, “Jiuli, you’ve come… Ahan, he…”
“Alas…” Di Chen sighed sorrowfully.
Mo Jiuli rushed to the bedside in nearly three steps taken as two. When she saw the familiar, handsome face, eyes tightly closed, and aura gone entirely, Mo Jiuli felt all the energy in her body instantly drained.
Her mind was completely blank—far more devastated than when she had seen her Grandpa and cousin. Only then did she realize how wrong she had been; it wasn’t that she didn’t dislike Di Minghan or only liked Di Minghan… she loved him deeply.
Even if their acquaintance, connection, and time together were short, he was Baobao’s father—the one man, past life and now, who had shared an intimate bond with her and who she could never ignore. He was the first man to belong to Mo Jiuli.
The first man to move her heart, stir her emotions, and give her a daughter.
