A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1635: Past and Present Lives 73

"What is the reason?" Xia Ruqing was very curious.

Zhao Junyao frowned, his thoughts meticulous and logic clear.

"There must be a reason why I came here inexplicably!"

"We’re having the exact same dream, which means there’s a connection between you and me!"

"I dreamed we had children, they were flesh and blood, and I even remember their looks, which means... They really existed!"

Xia Ruqing was so frightened by his words that she got goosebumps all over.

"You’re... You’re sounding more and more mysterious!"

"Didn’t you come here because you were in a car accident and were forced to come?"

"Maybe if you keep the family estate and find out the real culprit, you can go back!"

"What does it have to do with me??"

Zhao Junyao looked at her directly, sighed after a moment, and rubbed his temple.

"I don’t know, my brain is in chaos right now!"

Suddenly, Xia Ruqing thought of a serious issue, and she cautiously said.

"Then if..."

"If you find out about all these things, will you leave?"

"You’re the emperor, you should belong to that world!"

"If you leave, then your physical body will die, what about me..."

Indeed!

If he returns to the ancient times, the modern body would die.

By that time, wouldn’t Xia Ruqing be left as a widow?

Zhao Junyao was silent.

She was right, if he left, what should she do?

A widow? But she was still so young!

Take her along? Impossible, he himself didn’t know how he came, how to take her along.

Then...

Mired in conflict, Zhao Junyao finally frowned, painfully suppressing his suffering.

"Then let’s not get married for now!!"

"Qingqing!"

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, wanting to merge her into his bones.

Xia Ruqing also burst into tears, sobbing.

"What’s going on! Are we destined not to be together!"

"How did I fall in love with an emperor, it’s the twenty-first century!"

She was simply awestruck by herself, the more she spoke, the more she felt she was unfortunate.

"I’m just redundant in this world!"

"No parents, no lover, nobody cares for me!"

"I only have you!"

Don’t be fooled by her usually carefree attitude, she’s actually very fragile inside.

Being abandoned by her parents was like a deep stab in her heart that would never heal.

Being abandoned by her parents was equivalent to being abandoned by the whole world.

And now finally someone came, he didn’t mind that she was clumsy, didn’t mind her background, didn’t mind her identity.

He loved her whole-heartedly, they were mutually in love.

But fate played such a cruel joke again, it was as if it was teasing her.

The more she thought, the sadder she became, Xia Ruqing wailed in tears.

"Don’t cry! Don’t cry!"

Zhao Junyao was internally flustered, at a loss.

"Don’t cry!" If she continued, his heart would shatter.

Xia Ruqing stopped crying, angrily biting his shoulder.

Zhao Junyao felt pain sharply, groaned, but didn’t even frown.

After a while, Xia Ruqing let go.

Her eyes swollen, she sniffled.

"When you leave, maybe you’ll have a mark left on you!"

"Maybe, you’ll still remember me!"

She gave a bitter smile.

Heaven knows speaking these words tore her heart, but what else could she do?

"Alright!" Zhao Junyao reluctantly smiled, trying to comfort her.

"Maybe we won’t have to separate!"

"Maybe there are other ways!"

"Don’t be too discouraged, maybe heaven sent me here just to meet you!"

Xia Ruqing: "..."

She snuggled back into his arms, weeping and sobbing.

"I hope it’s true, I don’t want anyone else, I just want you!"

Zhao Junyao patted her shoulder, feeling pain throughout his heart.

...

Gradually, it became daylight.

Xia Ruqing lay in his arms for a while, and when she woke up.

She was already inside a car.

Zhao Junyao was leaning against her, asleep.

His eyelashes were long, especially when his eyes were closed, thickly curled like little fans.

She watched for a while, unable to resist reaching out to gently brush them.

As expected, Zhao Junyao was startled awake.

Xia Ruqing was a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry!"

Zhao Junyao stretched, snapped his fingers at her, returning to his usual spirited demeanor.

As if the pain from last night was just a dream, nonexistent.

"Where are we going?"

Xia Ruqing looked outside.

Zhao Junyao spoke without hesitation.

"No work today, I’m taking you to the hospital to see my father!"

Xia Ruqing was taken aback.

"No, no, what are you saying!" Did you forget last night’s matter?

Then she thought, it’s just a visit, she changed her mind.

"I’m not even washed!"

"Also, I’m still in pajamas!"

Helplessly, Zhao Junyao took her back to the apartment first.

They got out of the car, and Xia Ruqing rushed to the bedroom.

Originally intending to wash her face and change clothes, she was too sleepy, and she fell asleep lying on the bed.

Zhao Junyao came looking for her, seeing this, he thick-skinnedly squeezed beside her.

A single man and woman, alone in a room, sharing a bed.

Had this been in Great Chu Dynasty, they would have had to be a couple, he was delighted.

Before drifting to sleep, Zhao Junyao was still thinking.

If he married her, became a couple, or had a child conceived, would she then be able to leave with him?

...

They woke up in the afternoon.

Dressed appropriately, groomed and radiant, they arrived at the hospital.

It was a coincidence, Xia Yu happened to be at the bedside.

Zhao Junyao brought Xia Ruqing forward to greet.

"Hello, father, hello, Uncle Xia!"

Zhao Zongqing and Xia Yu nodded.

Their gazes went past Zhao Junyao, and simultaneously landed on Xia Ruqing behind him.

"Who is this...?" Zhao Zongqing was most concerned.

Zhao Junyao immediately stepped forward to disclose.

"Father, this is my new girlfriend, surname Xia!"

Upon hearing surname Xia, Xia Yu’s eyes lit up.

Zhao Zongqing coincidentally looked over.

"Hehe, same surname as you, Old Xia!"

Xia Yu smiled politely, couldn’t help but look Xia Ruqing over twice more.

When he looked into her eyes, he couldn’t help but blurt out.

"What’s your name?"

Xia Ruqing stepped forward politely.

"My name is Xia Ruqing! I’m the assistant of the Junior Director, and also... His girlfriend!"

Her words confidently spoken, yet carried the bashfulness of a young girl.

Both elders smiled.

"Not bad, seems to be a good girl!" Zhao Zongqing praised.

Xia Yu asked further.

"What does your family do? Especially... Your father?"

Zhao Junyao: "..."

Zhao Zongqing: "..."

The two exchanged glances, both looked towards Xia Yu, puzzled.

He usually didn’t like meddling in affairs, why ask this now?

But Xia Ruqing answered quite dejectedly.

"I don’t have a father!"

"My parents divorced when I was young, I haven’t seen him!"
