Chapter 493 - The Buried Past (1)



Chapter 493: The Buried Past (1)

Xie Zhetao seized the opportunity to dilly-dally for some time when he was paying for the medical bill. Just when he thought it was about time that Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng had finished sharing their views on life, only then did he amble his way back.

By the time he returned to them, he was greeted by such a brutal sight! Xia Zhetao truly thought that he had a year of ill luck. He really should buy an almanac to check on it later.

Watching this, he no longer had to dwell on the issue if he should inform the Su family. After all, Su He’s older brother had personally come to them!

It was none other than Su He’s biological older brother who had replaced Ye Yan’s position and stood before Zhao Youlin. The man was… Su Jifeng whom Zhao Youlin had met once at Su Qing’s son’s full moon banquet!

Su Jifeng wore a full set of sophisticated black formal suit. It was clear that he had been in the middle of work when he received the news. Therefore, he did not even have time to change his apparel and had immediately rushed over.

While standing opposite Su Jifeng, Zhao Youlin smelled gunpowder in the air. She then related the smell to his identity, and wondered what he had been doing before he came over.

Su Jifeng ignored Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng who were standing beside him. He glared coolly at Ye Yan who had been sent flying away. He was surrounded by a bloodthirsty, murderous aura. The others were terrified even by looking at him from a distance.

At Su Qing’s son’s full moon banquet, Su Jifeng looked like a sharp blade hidden in a sheath. At this moment, Su Jifeng looked like a blade without a sheath. He was filled with blood-thirst like a murderous weapon that could quietly take away one’s life at any time.

Ye Yan touched his fast swelling cheek as he staggered his way up from the wall. He met Su Jifeng’s bone-chilling gaze. He had accidentally bit his lip as a result of the violent impact and forcibly swallowed the blood that flowed out of his mouth.

“You are the father of the child inside Xiao Qi’s belly, huh?” Su Jifeng was not smiling at all. In fact, he stared indifferently at Ye Yan’s swollen cheek as if he would immediately get him killed if he ever said a single word.

However, Ye Yan failed to sense the murderous intent from Su Jifeng’s words. At that time, he was completely absorbed by another important message from Su Jifeng’s words.

‘Xiao Qi… Xiao Qi… Xiao Qi… This man addresses Su He as Xiao Qi…’

The deja vu was like a key to a pandora’s box. The images that appeared in Ye Yan’s mind were extremely vague but they etched in his heart.

“Big Brother, is your surname Ye? If so, could I call your Big Brother Ye? Big Brother Ye, I am Xiao Qi, spelled X-I-A-O-Q-I.”

Who had once been so fond of staring at him and playfully exchanging the way they addressed each other even though they were newly acquainted?

“Big Brother Ye, do you often play in the amusement park with your parents? How blessed are you! My parents don’t allow me to simply run around. They told me there are many bad people out there and would take the kids away.”

Who had once widened her eyes, looking envious and disappointed whenever she learned about his stories when he went travelling? Who had once promised her that he would take her out and play when they had an opportunity in the future?

“Big Brother Ye, your mother could actually bake pastries! That’s awesome! I enjoy eating pastries, and I prefer cherry blossom flavored ones the most. Unfortunately, my mommy doesn’t know how to bake. Besides, she doesn’t allow me to overeat. She said they would cause tooth decay.”

Who had once stared at him with admiration after learning that his mother could bake fancy pastries as if she was the pastry chef who could turn anything into pastries like magic?

At that time, he met her gaze that was filled with innocence and expectancy and said, “In the future, I’ll certainly ask my mother to bake some delicious cherry blossom pastries for you.” In his heart, he wished she could enjoy ample delicious pastries and if possible, he would not let others bake the pastries for her. In fact, he would personally… bake for her.

Those were the children’s most innocent days. Ye Yan could only recall that much. At that time, those were his most sincere portrayals.

How did his sincerity for her lost, got worn out, and dissipated without leaving a trace over the time?

“Big Brother Ye, you’re a nice person. I feel happy whenever I’m with you. How nice it would be if we could stick together in the future too.”

At that moment, upon facing the happy girl with a hint of disappointment, what had he said to her?

He said, “Xiao Qi, I feel very happy when I’m with you too. I also want to stay with you forever. Hmm… How about this? You would be my bride in the future. My mother told me that I couldn’t stick with her anymore after I became a grown-up. I have to stay with my wife. Xiao Qi, I like you, and I want you to be my bride so that we could be together in the future.”

“Okay! Big Brother Ye, remember to look for me in the future, then. Remember to have me as your bride!”

“Okay! I’ll certainly marry you, Xiao Qi. You’ll have to wait for me. Pinky swear!”

“Pinky swear!”

At that moment, the children’s words were especially very innocent. Little did they know that the innocent girl had spent over a decade waiting for a fruitless relationship due to their childhood innocence. Or, perhaps he was the one who had forgotten the promise that he had made to her.

“You mentioned that… you like me and… you would marry me in the future.”

That night, under the hazy atmosphere, he was so drunk that he did not see her face clearly. Even though he was in an unconscious state and had mistaken her as Zhao Youlin, her sobbing and accusations had inevitably reached his ears. As he recollected this, he felt extreme heartache.

What had happened to him to the extent that he could entirely forget someone whom he had once wanted to stay by her side so dearly?

Ye Yan could not afford to handle the impact of the images that suddenly came across his mind. He used one of his hands to support his head as he staggered back against the wall.

He felt as if there was a saw sawing his nerves back and forth inside his brain, causing him to suffer unbearable pain.

Su Jifeng swept a cool glance over Ye Yan. He did not intend to spare him so easily. Seeing that Ye Yan did not answer him, he walked forward and was about to strike him again.

However, this time, someone had agilely stopped him first.

“Feng?” Su Jifeng looked at the person who had stopped him with his hand. A hint of surprise darted across his eyes as if he had just noticed Mu Tingfeng’s presence.

Mu Tingfeng shook his head at Su Jifeng. He furrowed his eyebrows as he said, “Jifeng, you are at a hospital.”

The killing intent in Su Jifeng’s eyes did not fade even upon hearing Mu Tingfeng’s words. Regardless of the venue, as long as he was willing, any place could be his battleground.

Mu Tingfeng naturally understood this. He hesitated for a brief moment before he added, “He’s the father of the child in Xiao Qi’s belly. If you get him killed, Xiao Qi would not be happy when she awakes.”
