She walked slowly, each step bringing forth a long string of memories, but suddenly recalling something, she turned around and said to Feng Yin, "You should get up quickly; it's not good to kneel like this."
Feng Yin wiped her tears and, seeing that Cheng Mo Su did not blame her, hurriedly got to her feet. Cheng Mo Su smiled faintly and said to her, "You are married now and should take care of your husband and live well. From now on, don't call me 'Miss' anymore. You must know that I am at odds with Jiang Yating, but you are now part of the Jiang family. It would be better for us not to meet in the future."
"Miss..." She widened her eyes, looking at Cheng Mo Su's calm features, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. "Is it that you won't forgive me?"
She sighed lightly, her water-colored eyes scanning Feng Yin's figure. "Feng Yin, we grew up together. You went to the Jiang family out of desperation; how could I blame you?"
"So what do you mean, Miss..."
"I can say that there is no possibility of reconciliation between Jiang Yating and me now. You are in the Jiang family, and because of your special status, I can't guarantee she won't do anything to you. At this time, to ensure your safety, you must draw a clear line with me. Otherwise, with Jiang Yating's methods, I can't promise what she might do." She gently patted Feng Yin's shoulder, a shallow smile gracing her rose-colored lips. "As long as you are alive and doing better than before, I will feel at ease. Moreover, it's dangerous right now for you to come see me; I don't know how to thank you."
Feng Yin reached up to wipe her tears, looking at Cheng Mo Su's beautiful face and listening to her soft tone. She couldn't help but be moved and cried even harder. "Miss... You not only don't blame me but treat me like this. I really have no way to repay you. I will never return to the Jiang family; let those riches and honors go to hell! From now on, I will only stay by your side and accompany you forever."
She initially wanted to advise Feng Yin against such thoughts but realized that Feng Yin might already be under surveillance by the Jiang family. If she returned recklessly like this, it could lead to danger for her life. After a pause, she nodded and said softly, "If you've made up your mind and want to stay by my side, then come back. Although I'm down on my luck now, I can still support both of us."
Feng Yin had not held much hope but was overjoyed upon hearing Cheng Mo Su say this. She wiped away her mixed tears and broke into a big smile. Cheng Mo Su also smiled faintly in response, feeling a bit better; however, her gaze drifted toward the door, and the earlier mood quickly faded away as a wave of powerless sadness spread deep within her.
Feng Yin discreetly distanced herself from Cheng Mo Su's line of sight. Taking a quiet breath, she stepped forward slowly and forcefully pulled open the door.
The light rain fell on the tall figure before her. His military uniform seemed soaked through; the gloomy sky cast an ethereal hue over him, yet his dark pupils shone brightly with a quiet light. He looked at her silently—at the face he had missed day and night—at her clear brows and eyes—and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She stood frozen in place, unable to suppress her shock; her mind went blank as she didn't know what to say or do. His handsome face was exceptionally calm but faintly revealed sadness and heartache. He closed his eyes briefly and felt just like her—unsure of what to say or do—only aware that his heart raced rapidly and his breathing became uneasy.
The two people silently looked at each other, suppressing the intense longing they felt for one another. He gazed at her beautiful profile, the unique fragrance blending with the faint scent of gunpowder on him, creating circles of tenderness.
His hand lifted slightly, almost touching her cheek, but she instinctively took a step back, her water-colored eyes filled with panic. His pitch-black eyes trembled slightly, disregarding her retreat, as he reached out to pull her closer, staring into her misty eyes, feeling a tightness in his chest.
She slowly lowered her long lashes, allowing tears to bead and fall like pearls. He felt a pang of heartache, his lips moved slightly as he finally uttered those two words, "Mo Su."
She remained silent as raindrops fell on both of them, rendering them transparent. She gradually raised her fingertips to gently touch his sharp brows, his dark eyes, and the corners of his lips. A deep sorrow welled up in him as he grasped her delicate hand; countless words piled up in his heart, yet he could not utter a single one.
She smiled lightly, two small dimples appearing on her cheeks. His gaze was filled with profound tenderness as he softly said, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Her face flushed red as she realized he had been standing at the door for quite some time and was already drenched. She hurriedly stepped aside to let him in. He looked down at her graceful profile; that faint smile made it impossible for him to look away for the rest of his life. The intertwining passage of time had not buried their feelings; he still cherished her gentle smile while she continued to seek the spirit left behind by his footsteps.
She lowered her head to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes while he gently ruffled her slightly damp hair, his deep voice carrying a hint of hoarseness. "I heard about your father's passing, Mo Su. Don't be sad; I am still here by your side."
"Don't say that anymore. Do you know who killed my father?" She glanced at him, an unnamed anger rising within her.
He was taken aback; his pitch-black eyes revealed a piercing light. "Is it... the Jiang family?"
She nodded. Now the Jiang family was closely tied to the Shangguan Family, like grasshoppers on the same string. Moreover, Jiang Yating was a descendant of the Shangguan Family. No matter what, she could never go back. Seeing him again only added to her helplessness; she felt no moment of peace.
"Mo Su, as long as you are willing to come back, I can resolve all these issues." He adjusted her shoulders and met her water-colored eyes. Yet she silently turned away, twisting her head to one side without saying a word. Even he, who could usually read people's hearts, did not know what she was thinking at that moment.
After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly in a clear voice. "Resolve? How would you resolve it? If it could have been resolved sooner, I wouldn't have spent so much time wandering."
He quietly watched her as her elegantly painted brows slightly furrowed, causing him to pause. He quickly made a decision in his heart, "Mo Su, I will handle this matter and come back to pick you up once it's resolved."
She bit her rose-colored lips and remained silent. Jiang Yating repeatedly pressured her to kill her father, but Jiang Yating was also carrying a child from the Shangguan Family. This complicated issue gave her a splitting headache, leaving her unsure of what to do.
Shangguan Shaoyi quietly looked at her, gently kissed her forehead, and smiled, "Mo Su, wait for me here."
