Situ Jin’s gaze turned cold. Ru Feng lowered her eyes and said after a long pause, “I saw a book in the main house. I was reborn only because my second brother cast a forbidden spell. This punishment will fall on our bloodline. Any child of ours is not supposed to appear in the fate book. They will replace my second brother, suffering eternal torment.”
“She looked up at Situ Jin, “It’s because I’m the mother that I cannot let him come into this world to suffer!”
Situ Jin squatted in front of her, “Feng’er, isn’t this just your imagination? How can you decide life and death for him? Being born destined to suffer is indeed tragic, but who says such a life cannot have wonderful moments? Denying life because of its painful parts is unwise. Moreover, his existence is a miracle. How can you erase this gift?”
“Dad, I’m sorry, I just felt heartache, so I…” She paused, “I’m sorry, Dad.”
“You’re not apologizing to me, but to yourself. If you give up on him today, you will forever carry regret about this child and never have a chance to make amends.”
“Enough,” Ying Feng interjected, “stop crying, or your future child will be a crybaby.”
Ru Feng sniffled, “I won’t cry, I’m not crying.” She placed her hand on her belly and whispered, “I’m sorry, baby.”
Ying Feng shook his head, “Why didn’t you explain clearly earlier? Dad, did you have to get so worked up?”
Situ Jin snorted, “This is nothing. There’s another who hasn’t returned yet, who might run away.”
Ying Feng quickly understood, “Qi Feng knows too? Isn’t the exhibition not over?”
“Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned, ‘Where would he go?’
Qi Feng’s solitary nature meant he had no friends and spent his days at home or the company. Where could he possibly go?
Ru Feng nervously stood up, ‘I don’t know where my second brother would go. What should we do?’
‘Don’t panic, let me ask around,’ Ying Feng comforted her, making several phone calls. Finally, when he called the company, his eyebrows relaxed. He told Ru Feng, ‘He’s in the office.’
Situ Jin felt both heartache and amusement. ‘What a good child, even running away from home without wandering around.’
