Chapter 1288 - I’m Begging You, Please Marry Her
General Shi was calling him.
Xuan Ying’s frantic heart finally calmed down. Mu Mu was safe.
As long as he was still here, Mu Mu was safe.
Xuan Ying picked up the call. “Hello, General Shi.”
“Silver Mask King,” General Shi’s voice floated over from the other end of the call. “Let me apologize first. Yes, I took your daughter Mu Mu away, but let me promise you, I will never harm her. I’ll bring her up like she was my own.”
Xuan Ying’s thin lips slowly curved upwards and said, “General Shi, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. What can I do to make it up to you?”
“Silver Mask King, I heard that my daughter Xiaoxiao is in your hands. Ask your men to send Xiaoxiao back to me first. I’ll have a Master look at her. There’s an auspicious date in five days and you can get married to Xiaoxiao then.”
Xuan Ying was expressionless but his aura was dark and dangerous.
She walked out of the door and over to the study room. The door was ajar and Ah Zhou was speaking inside.
“Master, Little Miss is in General Shi’s hands and he wants to use that to force you to marry Shi Xiaoxiao. What do you plan to do? Poor Miss Mu Mu. She hasn’t had a good life ever since she came into this world. And Master, since she is your biological daughterー”
Before Ah Zhou could even finish his sentence, the door burst open.
Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to look. Xia Ling was standing at the side of the door, her bright, watery eyes looking in horror at him.
F*ck, she heard him!
Xuan Ying’s heart was pounding. He quickly walked over to her and said, “Lingling, let me explain…”
Xia Ling took a step back for every single one he took towards her.
She continued looking at him in horror, as though she was looking at a devil.
This man was worse than any devil. He was terrifying. She hated him, detested him. All she wanted to do was to run away.
Mu Mu was his daughter.
So he was the man from three years ago.
“Lingling, I…” Xuan Ying reached out, wanting to embrace her.
She had a loose white dress on and looked really simple. All he wanted was to hug her.
But Xia Ling continued backing away instinctively and shrieked, “Don’t touch me!”
Xuan Ying froze.
His legs felt as though they weighed tons and he couldn’t take a single step forward.
As Xia Ling looked at him with her eyes wide, her face was streaked with tears as she shook her head in disbelief. “I forgot to mention this but I’ve already regained my memories.”
I’ve already regained my memories…
This sentence stirred up various emotions in him as his pupils contracted.
Xia Ling reached out shakily and cradled the mask on his face before taking it off slowly.
Although he could have stopped her, he didn’t. He let her remove her mask, revealing his scarred face.
With a loud thud, the mask dropped onto the floor.
Xia Ling looked at him, laughing and crying like a madwoman.
She covered her face with both her hands and let her tears leak out from between her fingers.
Looking at her pained expression, Xuan Ying’s eyes reddened as well. He had no idea what to say, and could only repeat, “Lingling, I’m so sorry, I’m really so sorry..”
‘Sorry’ really was about the most useless word in the world.
As Xia Ling sniffed through her small red nose, she looked at him with watery eyes. A sob escaped her lips. “It’s fine, I’ve forgiven you.”
She had forgiven him?
Xuan Ying didn’t feel happy at all. Instead, he felt his heart sink lower and lower.
And he was right. She was not done. “Whatever happened in the past… I don’t want to talk about it anymore. It doesn’t matter who was right and who was wrong. I don’t even want to recall the past. I’m sure that you were suffering as well when you were tormenting me.
“You were the man from three years ago and Mu Mu is your daughter. You’re the only person I’ve slept with my entire life.
“But we’re done. From this moment on, we’re over. I hope I’ll be able to find a man I love, who loves me back in the future. He doesn’t need to be amazing. As long as he’s warm and stays by my side, I’ll be able to …slowly heal these wounds from the past…
“You don’t have to talk about the kind of life Mu Mu and I led this past three years, because I know that better than anyone else. We’ve finally settled down, but all this was destroyed… because of you, Xuan Ying. How could I possibly not hate you?
“I’m begging you, please… Please marry Shi Xiaoxiao.”
