Chapter 126

He saw a scar on Shen Ruojing’s shoulder.

1

It looked very ugly and seemed to be caused by a burn.

He frowned and asked, “That is?”

“Oh.” Shen Ruojing casually pulled her clothes up. “I scaled my shoulder due to being careless when Iwas a child.”

When she was a child…

Chu Cichen touched his chin.

After seeing that his expression wasn’t too good, Shen Ruojing unhappily asked, “Is it very ugly?”

Could it be that this man was despising her?

She didn’t even despise him for not remembering her, okay?

As he pondered, Chu Cichen shook his head. “No.”

After that, he felt that he had thought too much. There was a butterfly tattoo on 518’s shoulder, and itlooked much bigger compared to the scar.

3

If this scar came about from the tattoo removal, it ought to be larger than the tattoo and not smaller…

(What was I thinking exactly?)

He personally watched 518 dying before his eyes. Wasn’t the reason Dugu Xiao looked for variouswomen so crazily now just to see a shadow of her on them?

Chu Cichen praised himself for being different. Dugu Xiao’s method was disrespectful to her. Butactually, he had also always been searching for her shadow on Shen Ruojing…

Because the resemblance was just too uncanny.

Through these years, it wasn’t that he had never encountered anyone resembling 518. It was just thathe had no feelings for them.

She was the only one.

The two of them were too alike, in fact, he even felt like they were the same person, and this causedhim to involuntarily pay attention to her as he tried his best to control the impulse in his heart. However,he clearly knew that all these emotions he was feeling were because of 518…

He couldn’t continue to make mistakes.

Chu Cichen was struggling in his heart while the dispute in the room continued.

Chu Tianye hugged Shen Ruojing. “I don’t care, I want to sleep with mommy! It has been a long timesince I slept with mommy!”

Chu Yu quietly sighed. “I have never slept with mommy before. What sort of feeling would it be if I gotto sleep with mommy?!”

Shen Ruojing was immediately moved by his words.

She then looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Tianye frowned. (It’s happening again! This fellow only knows how to act pitiful!)

1

Chu Xiaomeng, who was hugging her soft toy, was observing their behavior. She sighed. “Brothers, weare no longer three years old. We have all grown up, so we shouldn’t cling to mommy.”

“I’m merely five!” Chu Tianye argued. “I’m still a small kid!”

Chu Yu also nodded. “Males and females are only considered to have grown up after they reach sevenyears old. So, we have to cherish this period before we are seven.”

“Right, so I’ll be sleeping with mommy tonight!” Chu Tianye disputed.

Chu Yu. “We can take turns. For example, you can sleep with mommy on Monday, Wednesday, andFriday. I’ll sleep with mommy on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday…Or mommy can choose herself.”

Chu Xiaomeng was like a transparent person and spoke, “I feel that mommy just has to flip the cardsover. Whomever she flips later will have to wash themselves clean and sleep with her…”

After Chu Xiaomeng said that, the other two immediately felt that this was true.

Chu Tianye laughed loudly. “I’m the concubine!”

1

He then pointed to Chu Yu. “You are a lesser concubine that just ascended.”

After that, he looked at Chu Xiaomeng, “Hmm, you will be the abandoned concubine in the coldpalace?”

Chu Xiaomeng. “…Who is the empress then?”

The three children then turned in unison to look at Chu Cichen. “Daddy is the empress!”

After that, Chu Yu and Chu Tianye looked at Shen Ruojing. “Mommy, who do you want to sleep withtonight?”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Her lips twitched as she sighed at how nonsensical the imagination of children was.

1

Chu Xiaomeng spoke up again, “Today, mommy should sleep with the empress!”

1

Chu Tianye and Chu Yu stopped arguing as they nodded. “Right, right, right!”

Shen Ruojing then cast a glance at Chu Cichen. She didn’t think about doing anything of that sort withthis man. Before he could remember her, she wouldn’t allow their relationship to advance by anotherstep. It was just that she felt that this man would probably be shy due to his bashful disposition.

However, what she saw was actually…It was unknown what he was thinking, but his countenanceturned aloof and indifferent. He was completely different from the day when he showed concern for her.

Her gaze dimmed slightly. “Tonight, this emperor will sleep alone. You guys should go back to yourrespective palaces.”

Sometimes, Shen Ruojing didn’t mind accompanying them to play games.

“Alright then.”

The three children were filled with reluctance and could only leave the room while looking back as theywalked away.

Chu Cichen held Chu Xiaomeng’s hand. “I’ll send you back to your room.”

His attitude toward his sons and daughter was clearly different.

1

Chu Xiaomeng nodded and said, “Okay, daddy!”

After they left, the room finally fell silent again.

Shen Ruojing lay on the bed and her hand was subconsciously placed on her shoulder.

Her gaze flickered.

Back then when she was in the organization, she would paint a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder everytime she appeared. Actually, that was to conceal this scar to prevent her identity from being exposed,which might lead to her parents being implicated in whatever situation that might arise.

Luckily, she had taken precautions. This was why she was able to leave the organization safely afterthat.

At this moment, her mobile phone started ringing.

As she picked up, Ye Lu’s voice drifted over. “Honey, I heard Dugu Xiao almost abducted you. Is hethat shameless? How can he do something that let you down and even have the cheek to replace so manywomen to impersonate you now? Death clears all debt. Isn’t his behavior equal to flogging thecorpse?!”

Shen Ruojing also felt puzzled by this.

That year, the two of them turned from friends into enemies. Because she felt dispirited, she feigneddeath to leave the organization. It was equivalent to her giving Dugu Xiao the organization they hadcreated.

1

Why was that fellow still unhappy? Did he have to humiliate her like that?!

Her gaze then turned colder by a few degrees.

Ye Lu changed the topic and laughed. “But! I feel that we now have a chance to take revenge on him.”

Shen Ruojing lifted her brows. “What do you mean?”

Ye Lu continued. “During these few years, for unknown reasons, Dugu Xiao suddenly started sufferingfrom headaches. Whenever his headaches acted up, they were so painful that he wanted to die.Hence, he went around to seek medical aid. This time, he came to Sea City undoubtedly to look for themiraculous doctor, which is you~”

Ye Lu smiled. “Now, his men have contacted me and wanted me to connect him to you. Say, do youwant to take the chance to screw him up?”

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

She felt a little bewildered.

In the past, Dugu Xiao didn’t have this problem. What had happened during these years?

She pondered and her countenance flickered. But eventually, she still rejected it. “Forget it.”

Let things in the past stay in the past. She didn’t want any interaction with a person like Dugu Xiao.

“…Alright then.” Ye Lu felt quite disappointed, but she had never gone against Shen Ruojing’s decisionbefore. She then continued, “Oh right, I did another round of acupuncture treatment for Bai Shanshanas per your request. However, she seems to have a huge psychological issue pressing down on herheart…”

“Hmm, she has to subdue that herself.”

Outsiders could never solve a person’s psychological problem. If one wanted to become stronger, onecould only work harder on themselves.

Ye Lu grunted in response. After hesitating for a while, she still couldn’t control her urge to ask. “Backthen in that explosion, what happened exactly? I remember that your relationship with Dugu Xiao hasalways been good. Why have things reached such a state?!”
