Chapter 359 -353: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 63_3

Even though he had imagined the scene unfolding before him now, he had never thought that seeing Su Zhiruan standing next to another man would be so glaring to his eyes.

It couldn’t be denied that the two of them looked very good together. Su Zhiruan was naturally beautiful, and the man standing behind her was tall with a cold and stern look, clear and deep-set eyes, cheeks as sharply defined as if carved by a knife, a prominent nose, and skin white as snow. His demeanor was extraordinary.

The man appeared extremely cold and detached, like a high and mighty god. But his subtle gesture at that moment revealed his contradiction. He reached out his hand, lightly holding onto Su Zhiruan’s sleeve, as if he were a child clutching the hem of an adult’s clothing, unable to bear letting go. This tender scene made him look particularly jealous.

“Why? Why is this happening?” Shen Qingman was nearly going insane at this moment. His original dream was to slay demons and travel the world, but to see Su Zhiruan every day, he had stayed in Shen Kingdom, stayed by Su Zhiruan’s side. He thought seven years would be enough for Su Zhiruan to recognize the feelings deep in her heart, enough for her to gradually accept him, step by step to become his. But he could never have dreamed that such a change would occur, so his hostile tone pointed directly at Changqi, unapologetically, “Who are you? What right do you have to stand by her side?”

Shen Qingman’s tone had become very intense by now. Whether it was the Emperor, the Empress, or the concubines, no one could stop him. He looked as though he wanted to rush up and tear Changqi apart.

“I am her… friend,” Changqi turned his head away, looking towards Su Zhiruan. He had intended to say the word “husband,” but knew that Su Zhiruan might not be pleased if he spoke it now.

He was well aware that after following her trail for many years and searching without success, now that he had finally found her, naturally, he should act according to her wishes. Otherwise, if Su Zhiruan no longer wanted him, he would lose everything!

Su Zhiruan, on the other hand, was more open-minded. She did not deny it as Changqi had thought she might. Instead, she quietly patted the hand Changqi had on her shoulder and said to Shen Qingman calmly, “I think you should already understand.”

Shen Qingman had indeed understood. The moment he stepped over the threshold, he saw clearly the face of the man standing behind Su Zhiruan. That face was almost a carbon copy of those of the three Lin boys. Even if one wanted to look away, it was impossible to ignore, so conspicuously eye-catching it was. Xiaxia looked like Su Zhiruan, but Lin An, Lin Zhou, and Lin You were clearly the children of the man before him!

This was something no far-fetched explanation could dismiss.

In an instant, Shen Qingman felt as if he had lost all the strength in his body and collapsed weakly to one side.

The Emperor and Empress witnessed this scene and exchanged a glance, shaking their heads almost instantaneously. They knew their son’s personality and were aware that he had confessed to Su Zhiruan many times these past days, laying his feelings bare before her.

But Su Zhiruan undoubtedly had some unresolved issues in her heart or someone else in mind, which is why she was always unwilling to accept his affection. The Emperor had come to terms with this; he now treated Su Zhiruan as his own daughter. Whether or not she and Shen Qingman could form a good marriage, he wished for both children to have their own happy and fulfilling futures.

What he hadn’t anticipated was the depth of Shen Qingman’s affection. Despite witnessing the truth firsthand, his feelings for Su Zhiruan remained strong and unabated.

The concubines in the harem witnessed this scene with mixed feelings and uncertainty, not knowing what to say, so they simply stood by and watched. Their hearts, too, were tangled and feeling sympathetic as the offspring of the harem were scanted, and Shen Qingman was the only child raised in the harem. Having watched him grow up, they now felt for his unsuccessful quest for love, while Su Zhiruan was preoccupied with another man.

“I will not give up. Why should I? Why must I?! Clearly, I spent more time by your side!! I’ve been by your side for seven whole years. For you, I was willing to stay in Shen Kingdom, not wanting you to leave, to face all this alone!! Why does he just need to beckon lightly with his hand for you to let him come back? If he really has to come back, then what have our sweet moments, our seven years, been for?!” At that moment, Shen Qingman appeared to be on the verge of madness. He found Xiaxia in the crowd and held her tightly, standing against Su Zhiruan and Changqi.

Xiaxia, taken by surprise when Shen Qingman suddenly brought her forward, wore a look of astonishment on her small face before it turned into one of pitiful charm. Her large eyes blinked gently, and as she made eye contact with the man standing behind her mother, she distinctly saw his eyelashes tremble heavily, his face showing an expression of astonishment.

This was the first time Changqi had seen his child!

When Su Zhiruan saw Xiaxia, it was somewhat unexpected for her. She didn’t really want Changqi to meet Xiaxia, but what was bound to happen would always come to pass, so she reached out her hand and said, “Xiaxia, come here.”
