“I mean, look at those madams from the Jing Family. They aren’t that young anymore. But they’re still fusing over the smallest thing!” I said angrily.
“Certain people are wired differently, I guess, for example, look at Bai Rui. She’s a lot more well-informed in the ways of the world now. Nanxing, we won’t abandon Nanyang’s child. Once everything settles, we’ll have Bai Rui bring her over, and we’ll raise her together.” Auntie Lan told me.
It turned out she had planned everything. I was impressed again. “Auntie Lan, you don’t want to join the Jing Family, but you care so much about it.”
Auntie Lan straightened her back, she sighed. “I don’t care about the Jing Family. Without any rules and teachings, the Jing Family is already rotten to the core. I don’t have the strength to deal with it, and Jing De is not a good family head. I don’t want my son to suffer from Jing De’s burden. All I can do is to help those I can like Bai Rui, Jing Ni, and that girl.”
“But for me, that is already more than enough,” I said softly.
Auntie Lan turned to look at me and said with a smile, “I also hope that you’d stay by Jing Tian’s side. I don’t need to worry if I leave him with you.”
I stuck out my tongue. “Auntie Lan, you got it the other way round. More often, he’s the one taking care of me.”
Auntie Lan looked at me with a meaningful gaze. “Nanxing, no matter what, do not place everything you have on a man. A man will always have a child in his heart regardless of his age. The child might appear at any moment. It’s cute, but it will make them act rashly. At critical moments, we girls have to rely on ourselves.”
Auntie Lan’s words reminded me of my previous life. If someone had told me these things, perhaps my ending wouldn’t be so sad. Auntie Lan was right. Experience cultivated a person.

Jing Tian and I finally embarked on our journey. This was the first time I got to travel with Jing Tian in both of my lifetimes. I was indescribably happy. Even after a ten-hour plan, I was not tired. On the contrary, I was very excited.
Jing Tian was on a business trip, so he had many things to do. This meant that I was very free. My responsibility was to eat, drink, and relax. I had never felt so pampered. However, things often happened when we were most relaxed.
On the third night we were at Country L, our hotel was attacked by terrorists.
I was reading a book on Jing Tian’s bed while Jing Tian was writing a report on his desk. The beautiful silence was broken by the sound of gunshots.
Gao Da broke into the room, “Master Qi, Nanxing, this is not bad! We need to retreat!”
I was confused as Jing Tian wrapped me up in his sheets and carried me out of the room.
Gao Da explained as we ran. “The group of assailants is of unknown origin. Once they entered the hotel, they started shooting indiscriminately. There are countless casualties in the lobby. They appear to be looking for someone. They are searching floor by floor. They have a clear mercenary background. Their techniques are neat, and their marksmanship is also very accurate. We don’t have enough manpower and weapons. Therefore, we have to leave this place.”
Jing Tian listened silently. Then he held my hand tightly, “Nanxing, you better don’t wander off.”
I nodded. I calculated internally. “Jing Tian, does this have to do with us?”
Jing Tian was cautious. “Nanxing, I don’t know. But don’t try to be a hero. You have to control your emotions. Do you understand?”
I nodded. I didn’t dare give any guarantee. I always had a hard time controlling my emotions.
The corridor was full of people who were crying and screaming. They were running around like headless flies.
Gao Da led the way while Jing Tian and I followed closely behind, holding hands. Compared to the panicked crowd around us, the three of us stood out..
