The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 140: Gift

He wanted to hear what Duke Wei, a man who had experienced the trials of life, thought since he himself couldn’t come up with an answer.

But Han Si Que just replied indifferently, "I don’t know, Prince, take your time strolling. I won’t accompany you."

Then he turned and walked away.

Su Xingyan watched his distant figure in the sunset, seeming particularly lonely.

He shook his head, thinking he really had a knack for creating trouble. If the Crown Prince found out he had offended Duke Wei upon returning to the capital, it would be a huge mess.

Now that Han Jing had already called off the engagement with him, what was he still worried about?

Han Si Que also pondered the question Su Xingyan asked him. If he were given a chance to choose again, what would he decide? In truth, he really didn’t know.

Because in life, many times you aren’t allowed to choose. Whatever you choose, you have to bear the corresponding consequences. And these consequences are often unbearable.

So even if given the chance to relive it, facing such struggles would still be confusing, uncertain, and indecisive.

And even long after making a choice, you still may not know whether it was right or wrong.

If there’s anyone to blame, perhaps it’s only fate playing tricks on people!

In the following days, the autumn hunt became somewhat uninteresting. Han Jing stayed mostly in the courtyard to rest and didn’t go out much. Every day besides practicing her Internal Cultivation Methods on schedule, she would fiddle with some random things with a few little girls, or chat and play cards with Su Yaogeng, or strut around with Youyou causing many to feel both envious and fearful of her; however, Han Jing was thoroughly enjoying herself.

Han Jing suddenly felt that, as if combining two lifetimes, she had never lived such a leisurely and carefree life, not having to shoulder any burdens, able to live simply like a normal woman.

It wasn’t until everyone was packing up to return to the capital that Han Jing suddenly remembered something.

She happily ran to Su Yaogeng’s courtyard and directly entered Su Yaogeng’s room, extending her hand toward her.

Su Yaogeng asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Han Jing blinked, "Mother, you wouldn’t have forgotten you said you would give me a gift, right?"

Su Yaogeng then recalled and said with amusement, "You haven’t forgotten, huh! If I had known you’d almost lose your life for this gift, I would never have promised you!"

Han Jing made a face and said, "Mother wouldn’t not give it to me just because I didn’t take first place, right!"

Su Yaogeng was thoroughly amused by her; her daughter was becoming more and more adorable. Looking at her lively face made her feel years younger, washing away all bad moods!

"I’ll give it, I’ll give it. If I don’t, who knows what trouble you’ll stir up next time, I’d be worried sick!" Su Yaogeng said with resigned helplessness.

Han Jing immediately beamed with happiness.

Su Yaogeng went to get something while saying, "I didn’t realize before, you manage to have seven or eight personalities, oh my, it’s like raising a bunch of daughters, you’re different every time!"

Han Jing twitched her mouth, wondering if she should enlighten her mother with some astrological knowledge since, being a Gemini, Han Jing thought she was perfectly normal!

After quite a while, Su Yaogeng finally found the item. It was clear she had always kept it with her, cherishing it.
