Chapter 352: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 62
"Why do you want to take the children and leave the Divine World?" Changqi Upper God suddenly asked this question, which made Su Zhiruan hesitate.
As expected, what was destined to come had arrived.
Actually, Su Zhiruan had thought before, what kind of scene would it be if Changqi found her one day?
Would she be questioned, or would he silently sentence her to death.
Su Zhiruan didn't care for herself, but her main concern was that her four children would be implicated and not receive their parents' affection.
"What children?" Su Zhiruan decided to feign ignorance completely, if Changqi discovered that these four children were indeed his, they would surely be taken away, and she didn't want her own flesh and blood to be separated. If possible, she would rather have Changqi never know about the existence of these four children.
Changqi simply stared at her intently, seemingly waiting for her to tell the truth.
But Su Zhiruan, in order to protect her children, kept silent, instead fixing her eyes tightly on him.
"I know it was you that night," Changqi spoke indifferently, he reached out and took hold of Su Zhiruan's clothes, gently pulling her to sit beside the Hot Spring with him. Both sat shoulder to shoulder, yet neither continued to speak. For a moment, the only sound in the air was the gentle flow of the hot spring water.
After a long while, Changqi finally said, "Ruanruan, what secrets do you have? What are you trying to hide?"
"I don't have any," Su Zhiruan continued to play dumb, if she angered Changqi now, then he would only vent his anger on her alone, but if he knew that she had secretly come to the Human World with four children and had been here for seven years, then he would surely take the children away. Su Zhiruan didn't know what his attitude towards the children would be, but judging by her time in the Divine World, there were no children around Changqi, even Feng Qing, he didn't behave very warmly like a relative.
He is a god, a cold and heartless god.
For a moment, it was as if there was a thick and hard wall separating them, neither able to open the other's heart. Even though they sat side by side, leaning against each other, with the sounds of flowing water and the mist in the air, both knew there were secrets and barriers in each other's hearts, and they were unable to unravel the deepest thoughts of the other.
At least not now.
"Since you don't want to speak, I won't force you," Changqi suddenly spoke up. His hand gently moved, finally covering the back of her hand. The soft sensation swept over his entire body, the feeling was very familiar, he felt the comforting presence, during this time, he had never given up searching for Su Zhiruan, searching continuously until now that he had found her, he felt a sense of panic, as if everything was a dream that would disappear in an instant.
Su Zhiruan felt the warmth on her hand, she didn't move rashly, but let him place his hand over hers. She averted her gaze, "My lord, please return to the Divine World. If you came here specifically to find me just to make me return to the Divine World, then my answer is that I am unwilling. I have been here for seven years. I am very familiar with the life in the Human World and have been living very well here, I don't want to go back to the Divine World, I hope you understand."
"Ruanruan, as I said, I won't force you," Changqi said softly, his voice very light, not at all like a god, but rather like a heartbroken, slightly aggrieved person. He turned his head to look at Su Zhiruan, and when their eyes met, it was as if a spark flared between them for an instant, and they both withdrew their gazes at the same time. He spoke on his own, "If you like the Human World, then I am willing to stay with you, is that acceptable?"
"Ah, my lord, why do you want to stay?" Su Zhiruan was very surprised, she had not expected that the Changqi Upper God would actually be willing to stay in the Human World for her, "If it's for me, it's really not necessary, our social standings are completely different. Coming down to the Human World was my own decision, you need not humble yourself for me."
"I want to stay, I want to be by your side, I want to watch the children grow up with you," Changqi's tone was very firm, but when Su Zhiruan heard him mention children, she became somewhat panicked and withdrew her gaze.
Even at this stage, she was still unwilling to let Changqi know about these four children. Their existence couldn't be hidden forever, but Su Zhiruan didn't want to expose the children to Changqi so quickly. She didn't know when Changqi had come to the Human World, nor did she know if he might have secretly seen every moment she spent with the children.
