Chapter 1845 - 1835: Zi Wei’s Side Story (2)

In the first year of returning to the Yue Family Mansion, Yue Lian gave birth to a boy, who took her surname and was named Yue Xinghe.

He was handsome, with a certain coldness like Zi Wei, yet also a touch of gentleness like Yue Lian.

After Yue Xinghe turned three, Yue Lian was pregnant again.

She told Zi Wei this news, and Zi Wei's cold gaze softened for a moment.

He looked at Yue Lian's belly and softly said, "Have a daughter."

Yue Lian smiled and said, "What if it's a boy?"

"Then have a daughter again."

"Alright."

Yue Lian touched her belly, knowing that Zi Wei wanted a daughter, and thus thought, no matter what, she must give him a daughter to please him.

At night, she and Zi Wei still stayed in their respective bedrooms.

Yue Xinghe lay on her bed, curiously asking, "Mother, why do you rarely share a room with Daddy?"

Yue Xinghe had too little impression of his father, often calling out to him, yet Zi Wei would ignore him, and his father's intense killing aura and coldness made him afraid to approach easily.

Yue Lian gently patted Yue Xinghe's back to soothe him, "Daddy doesn't like to be disturbed, so Xinghe must be good. If Daddy is unhappy, don't disturb him, okay?"

"Alright, Xinghe will be obedient."

At such a young age, Yue Xinghe understood quite a lot already. After Yue Lian told him, he knew not to go to Daddy without reason in the future.

Yue Lian was quite relieved, but in her heart, there was always a bit of unease.

She looked at the bed drapes, feeling lost.

Since moving back with her to the Yue Family Mansion, away from Jiang Du City, when had Zi Wei ever been happy?

Never.

Every day he held his sword, gazing at Jiang Du City, where his most beloved and cherished person was.

Everything he did was for Su Yingxue.

She still remembered the night Zi Wei consummated their marriage.

Afterward, he got up, dressed, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The doctor said it was due to acute emotional turmoil.

But for such a cold and emotionless person, what could cause such emotional turmoil to cough up blood?

Su Yingxue and him...

Yue Lian did not bring it up with him, yet he said to leave Jiang Du City and never return.

She agreed, taking him back to the Yue Family Mansion, Lingnan Yue Family Mansion, a thousand miles away from Jiang Du City.

If nothing happened, it seemed they would never return again.

But upon returning to Lingnan, Zi Wei became sullen and melancholy every day, or rather, he turned into a cold machine.

Besides holding his sword and gazing at Jiang Du, he did nothing else.

Not even holding Yue Xinghe a few times.

Only when she gave birth to Yue Xinghe, Zi Wei came to look at him, knowing he had a son, then telling her he still wanted a daughter.

But she was weakened after giving birth, unable to conceive again within two years.

After recuperating until this year, last month, the doctor said she could conceive again. She told Zi Wei this news, and Zi Wei then came again to share a room with her.

Cold and mechanical.

Even doing such intimate and passionate things, she couldn't feel a trace of emotion from him.

He came for seven days, and she had a premonition that she might be pregnant.

In the spring of the following year, she gave birth to a daughter.

She asked the old steward to tell Zi Wei the good news, having a son and a daughter, both were now complete.

Indeed, when Zi Wei held his daughter, he wasn't as cold.

Yue Lian's body was still weak, yet she wanted him to love their daughter more, so she took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you name our daughter, let her take your surname."

Zi Wei was slightly dazed, "I don't know how."

"Think about it."

Yue Lian tried hard to persuade him, wanting to win some fatherly love for her daughter.

Yue Xinghe saw this and tugged on Zi Wei's clothes, softly pleading, "Daddy, please give my sister a name! Look, how cute she is."

Zi Wei looked at the baby in his arms, his eyes moved, and said in a tone that was certain yet uncertain, "Zi... Su?"

"What?" The old steward was somewhat surprised.

Yue Xinghe, however, heard clearly and happily said, "Mother, Daddy named our sister Zi Su, it sounds so nice!"

He quite supported his father.

But the name made Yue Lian's eyes dim for a moment.

The old steward disagreed, "Sir, please choose another."

The daughter's name also contained the "Su" from Su Yingxue, wouldn't this deeply hurt Yue Lian?

Zi Wei's expression was cold, placing their daughter back into Yue Lian's arms, turning to leave.

"Let's call her Zi Su! Zi Su leaves love sunshine and can be made into spices, our daughter must be a fragrant, sunny girl!"

Yue Lian forced a smile.

She saw a slight upward curve on Zi Wei's lips.

She was so happy, lowering her head to gently kiss her daughter's delicate face, "Dear baby, your daddy really loves you."

Because her name contained "Su," Zi Wei's treatment of her would certainly be different.

As expected, Zi Wei treated his daughter much better than Yue Xinghe.

He would occasionally come to hold her, even feed her water, and when he watched his daughter smirk, he couldn't help but slightly smile.

His penetrating gaze let Yue Lian understand that he wasn't watching his daughter but was reminded of the woman he loved while looking at her.

As Zi Su grew, she blossomed gracefully.

When Zi Wei looked at her, his expression was not cold. When Zi Su sweetly called him Daddy, he would hold her, rub her head, and take her to the streets like a normal father.

This behavior often stirred Yue Xinghe's jealousy, but Yue Xinghe, already nurtured by Yue Lian to become the next heir of the Yue Family, was mature and steady, saying nothing more. Together, they all gave Zi Su more love.

For the decades that followed, Yue Lian and Zi Wei lived together in such mediocrity, but Yue Lian, having been poisoned while working with machinery, had no cure and within a year was at the end of her life.

Before she died, Zi Wei sat by her bedside, his expression cold, just as when they first met, cold and unfeeling.

Yue Lian held his hand, loath to part, "Husband, I'm so reluctant to leave you."

Zi Wei coldly replied, "There's no need, I will die with you."

"No... no!"

Zi Wei's words stirred her enough to breathe her last.

Yue Xinghe and Zi Su, by her bed, cried their hearts out, "Mother, don't go! Don't leave me and brother! Mother!"

Zi Wei took his sword, and without hesitation, stabbed it into his heart after Yue Lian's death.

"Puff!"

Blood splattered, and Zi Su barely had time to react.

She embraced Zi Wei's falling body, dropping to the ground together, stunned for a long while before realizing what happened, and burst into tears, "Daddy! Daddy! Why did Daddy also leave me! Susu doesn't want Daddy to go! Daddy!"

Zi Wei touched Zi Su's face, his eyes gentle and nostalgic, "Su..."

He breathed the last word, and Zi Su, thinking he was calling her, cried her heart out, fainting.

Yue Xinghe, already responsible, single-handedly arranged the aftermath for Zi Wei and Yue Lian, burying them together.

Zi Su, weakened from crying, couldn't rise to bid farewell to her parents.

Yue Xinghe looked at the tombstone with Zi Wei and Yue Lian's names, feeling deeply moved.

He remembered the relieved expression in Daddy's eyes before he died.

At the moment Zi Wei closed his eyes, his heart was utterly joyful.

"Master, I have finally fulfilled your last command."

To be a good husband, accompanying her step by step, to have children with her, growing old together, sharing life and death.

Yue Lian died, and he followed.

But on the road to hell, he waited for Su Yingxue, guarding her, waiting for her arrival, so no spirits would disturb her peace, nor any ghost hurt her.

In the next life, for all lifetimes to come, he vowed to be her guardian, protecting her always.
