Chapter 540: Drunken Truths 6
Everything the little drunkard said hit him like lightning, striking Li Ruoxuan’s mind over and over again as he continuously repeated them.
What did she say?
She had transmigrated, and based on what she said just now, she came from another world, and was not from here? She had possibly possessed the body of “Qi Qingyao” through some intangible means. If this was the case, it would also explain why she had medical skills and knew architecture! Not to mention the reason she was so smart…
But…
The children…
Based on her implications, when she transmigrated, the children were already…
Hold on.
From what he had read before, the host had frozen to death after the Qi family threw her to the ruined temple back then, so she must have possessed and been reborn in the body of the host.
After that happened, this Qi Qingyao was completely different from before.
In other words, she was not the one who gave birth to those children.
That was not right either. It was the host who gave birth, this body that she now resided in gave birth, but it was not an event that her soul experienced.
Strictly speaking, she was the one who gave birth, but she was also not the one.
It was no wonder she was able to keep her utmost calm toward him, Jiang Yeqian, Si Jin, and Lu Yan, with no intention of trying to climb up the social ladder at all.
The moment he confirmed that Qi Qingyao was not “Qi Qingyao”, Li Ruoxuan’s feelings became extremely complicated.
The hand gripping her tightened inexplicably.
He gently patted her on the back.
The pot of wine in the drunk woman’s arms slid down a little. Li Ruoxuan caught it instantly with one hand, and casually placed the pot of wine on the table. Then he glanced at the little maid who was sitting on his lap, slumped over his shoulder. The little girl with a bun looked extremely cute, and she had cried so much when she was drunk that she was now drained. He was not sure whether she fainted or fell asleep.
Her two small hands rested gently on his shoulders.
If it was before, Li Ruoxuan might have pushed her hands away impatiently, and would have thrown this woman onto a chair at the side without thinking, waiting for her to wake up by herself.
However, after discovering her true identity, he felt endlessly curious about her history and past, especially since he knew she was not a woman of easy virtue…
He glanced at her small face slumped over his shoulder. Her face was red and the underside of her eyes was flushed. The tip of her nose was red as well, and there was a rosy glow on her lips due to the alcohol.
It was because this little drunkard drank too much…
Li Ruoxuan’s heart skipped a beat involuntarily. His eyes could not help but fall on her lips.
An unprecedented urge rushed from the soles of his feet straight to his lower abdomen. He felt that something was stirring.
His heart began to feel restless.
This inexplicable change made Li Ruoxuan so nervous he wanted to shove her aside immediately.
However, when his hand brushed against her slender waist, he could not bear to do it.
Her slim waist was ridiculously narrow and soft and it felt as though he could break it with a light squeeze.
Li Ruoxuan, who had always refused any relationships with the opposite sex for so many years, who did not want to be bound by any women, had his face flushed at this moment. He did not know whether to keep holding her or let go. Before the string of reasoning in his brain snapped, his remaining logic told him that he had to let go immediately.
And so.
He subconsciously,
Withdrew his hand.
After that, the little drunkard quietly slumped over his shoulder and slept obediently!
Li Ruoxuan, nervous and embarrassed, did not know where to put his hands now.
He cursed inwardly. How could the charming State Preceptor be so lame now? She was just a woman, a widow with three children! Was it necessary for him to act like such a loser?!
