Matriarchal Desires

Sui Xi looked up at Jin Yu, then buried his face in her embrace, saying, “I want to be with you and the baby.” He had long lost hope for the Gu family. During his hardship with Xiao Lian, he once hoped they would help. When Xiao Lian was seriously ill, he knelt at the Gu family’s gate, crying and begging, but was driven away by the servants without seeing his mother. In his moment of desperation, she saved them and continued to care for them, sparking a glimmer of hope in his desolate heart.

He thought that if she hadn’t appeared then, he might have taken Xiao Lian to ‘leave’ together. If she hadn’t ‘frequently’ visited him, he would have had no desire to continue living in pain.

Jin Yu remained silent, her heart aching for him since the moment she was reborn. The first sight of him was of a brutalized and lifeless body, covered in scars. She remembered that morning when she kissed his face, almost forgetting her previous pain, with eyes that could only see him. She never expected to develop such compassion for a man so quickly after her rebirth.

Upon receiving news of him and learning about his background, she sent people to help him and Xiao Lian, visiting him frequently. She wanted to touch him, secretly protecting him and caring for him in various ways without his knowledge. She didn’t believe in love, avoiding her feelings for him. Yet, her visits became more frequent until she realized she couldn’t let go.

She had never cared about death, and after rebirth, life and death became insignificant. But because of him, she wanted to live for the first time, to live well. In this life, she would never let go of him.

Jin Yu kissed Su Xi’s cheek, her hand tenderly caressing his face. “Su Xi, let’s leave here together.”

Su Xi was stunned, looking up at Jin Yu in confusion. “Leave? Where to?”

Jin Yu stroked his back. “I’ve prepared a house elsewhere. We might not return after leaving.”

Su Xi’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Really leaving? You’re giving up being the Jin family head?” He had heard about the family’s fierce battles for inheritance, and now she was abandoning everything for him?
