Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci watched this scene from afar. When the thing in Ding Si's hand fell to the ground, she already had the answer in her heart.

Ding Si is Yan Tongxing.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Qingqing could not deceive anyone. She saw it clearly. The hidden joy and surprise in his expression were clearly visible when he looked at Jiang Qingqing.

Yan Ci looked at Ding Si who was approaching him, and bowed solemnly, "Father."

Ding Si paused in his steps, and his pupils suddenly constricted as he looked at Yan Ci. Obviously, he did not expect Yan Ci to reveal his identity under such circumstances. Thinking of his previous meeting with Jiang Qingqing, the surprise in his eyes was quickly replaced by understanding.

No wonder he suddenly met Jiang Qingqing today. It turned out that his daughter deliberately tested him.

I think, with Yan Ci's intelligence, he would have recognized him a long time ago.

A gentle look gathered in his eyes, and he no longer concealed his identity. He calmly reached out and helped Yan Ci up, "Ah Ci."

Yan Ci had too many questions in her mind, but she knew that now was not the time to ask questions, because although Ding Si admitted his identity to Yan Ci, he had no intention of confessing to Jiang Qingqing.

Moreover, Jiang Qingqing has remarried now, and her husband is the younger brother of her ex-husband. If her dead husband suddenly comes back, one can imagine what she will face.

Chunzhi followed Jiang Qingqing in front of the stall to choose pendants and did not notice what was happening between the two people here.

Jiang Qingqing picked out the pendants she liked from among a bunch of them, and turned around to ask Yan Ci if he liked it. At this time, Ding Si's expression had returned to calm, and when Jiang Qingqing looked at him and Yan Ci, he was able to look at them calmly.

Yan Ci looked at Jiang Qingqing holding a mandarin duck pendant and asked loudly, "Ah Ci, do you think this is beautiful? I bought it for your father."

Yan Ci's expression paused, knowing that the father Jiang Qingqing was talking about was her current husband Yan Tonglin, but she still turned her head unconsciously to look at Ding Si.

Ding Si shook his head slightly at Yan Ci, meaning not to say anything and not to show anything.

It was obviously not pleasant to see his wife buying things for others, but he could only keep this concern deep in his heart. Yan Ci felt sad for Ding Si.

Looking at Jiang Qingqing's expectant eyes, Yan Ci smiled and said, "It looks good."

Jiang Qingqing shook the mandarin duck pendant in her hand and smiled even more brightly, like a child who had received candy.

In fact, Jiang Qingqing was a very lucky woman. Although the Jiang family made her marry Yan Tongxing, the eldest son of the Yan family, instead of her beloved Yan Tonglin for the sake of family prosperity, during the more than ten years since she married Yan Tongxing, Yan Tongxing treated her wholeheartedly and never took a concubine. The two of them respected each other like guests.

Later, Yan Tongxing died of illness, and Jiang Qingqing turned around and married her former love Yan Tonglin. Although there were rumors slandering her outside and Yan Tonglin's concubines stood in the way, it did not stop Yan Tonglin from protecting and doting on her.

For Jiang Qingqing, it is a blessing in life that both men she has met in her life love her more than herself.

Yan Ci also didn't want to disrupt Jiang Qingqing's stable and happy life. After all, she was Yan Ci's mother. Since everything had come to this point, let's just continue on as it is. Why expose everything and let three people, or even more people, suffer?

Jiang Qingqing paid the money and returned to Yan Ci with Chunzhi, who had also chosen a pendant. She placed another pendant in Yan Ci's hand and said, "This one is for you."

It was a cicada-shaped jade pendant, delicately crafted and translucent, with light green tassels underneath. It looked elegant and generous. It could be hung around the waist as a clothing ornament or on the handle of a fan as a decoration.

Yan Ci held the cool jade pendant in his hand and smiled softly at Jiang Qingqing, "Thank you, mother."

Chunzhi held the two pendants with flower patterns in her hands like treasures. She hung one around her waist and carefully tucked the other into her arms. These were bought for her sister Chuntao, one for each of the two sisters.

After putting away the pendant, she looked at Ding Sishi who was standing still and asked, "Aren't you going to buy one?"

Ding Si shook his head. He didn't like these material things, and Yan Ci had already bought him a lot today. He liked the red sword tassel very much.

Jiang Qingqing asked Yan Ci if he wanted to go shopping again. Yan Ci didn't come here for shopping in the first place. Since his purpose had been achieved, there was no need to go shopping anymore. He took Jiang Qingqing and went back home.

After returning to Liufang Courtyard, Yan Ci sent Chunzhi away and then asked Ding Si to sit down at the small table in the courtyard.

She pushed the pendant Jiang Qingqing gave her to Ding Si and said, "I can't use this. Give it to my father."

Seeing Ding Si hesitated for a moment, Yan Ci said mischievously: "Are you embarrassed to tell your daughter? Just think of it as a meeting gift from your daughter to your father."

Ding Si smiled slightly, "Okay."

Seeing Ding Si putting the pendant into his arms, Yan Ci also smiled.

The two of them just smiled and said nothing. No one said much about the deeper meaning of it, because they all knew that this pendant was actually given to Yan Tongxing by Jiang Qingqing.

Cicadas mean rebirth.

It was both a way of congratulating Yan Tongxing on his new life and a way of saying goodbye to his and Yan Tongxing's past.

There are many things that cannot be said, but Jiang Qingqing knows it in her heart. How could she not recognize the man who had slept with her for fifteen years? Even if he didn't say a word, she recognized those eyes.

Apart from the emotional entanglement between Jiang Qingqing and Yao Tongxing, Yan Ci was more concerned about the "death" of Yan Tongxing.

She didn't know how Yan Tongxing died of illness, but seeing Ding Si alive now, she was a little curious about Yan Tongxing's past, and even why he had changed from a well-mannered scholar to a killer who was now working for others.

Yan Ci poured a cup of tea for Ding Si and herself respectively. In the misty water vapor, she saw Ding Si's dazed face.

Without Yan Ci saying anything, Ding Si knew the doubts in Yan Ci's heart.

Since his daughter has been involved, even if he keeps it a secret, he cannot guarantee her safety. It is better to tell her the truth so that at least she can be prepared.

Ding Si looked at Yan Ci and said slowly, "It is true that Yan Tongxing passed away two years ago."

"I was very ill at that time. Your mother invited many doctors to treat me, but they still couldn't cure me. When I was on the verge of death, a member of the Wu tribe came and planted a mother and child Gu in my body. It didn't have any effect at the time, but after I was buried, they used the mother Gu to control the child Gu and saved me."

Yan Ci's face was full of surprise, "So the poison I put on you was to save your life."

Ding Si nodded. "You can say that, but after I came back to life, I was taken away by them. They taught me how to kill people and trained me to be a killer. Then I met the person who truly saved me and changed me."
