 Chapter 29 - In this life, everything is still possible

If it were in her past life, upon hearing her second elder brother say these words, Qin Ruan would have suspected him of ulterior motives, wondering if he was trying to do something to her.

Through her eighteen years in the West City, she had come to understand that there was no such thing as unconditional goodwill or unearned good fortune in this world. Everything she knew was mixed with various interests and disputes.

Qin Mei's indulgence and protection made Qin Ruan's eyes moisten. She knew that every word the young man behind her spoke was sincere and heartfelt. In his eyes, she was that good.

The same went for her father and elder brother; in their eyes, even if she had pierced the sky, it would have been the sky's fault, and it had nothing to do with her.

In her past life, she had been falsely accused and her reputation had been ruined. Her father and brother had comforted and protected her, shielding her from the dirty and slanderous talk of others. She had been moved by them, but before she could accept their kindness, her father had died, her elder brother had been forced to leave the country, and her second elder brother had disappeared without a trace.

She had never had the chance to open her heart to them and could only watch as the family fell apart.

Thankfully, in this life, everything was still possible.

Qin Ruan forced back the tears in her eyes. She couldn't cry now; her future was bright, and she should be smiling.

Qin Ruan let the young Qin Mei, who was the same age as her, gently wipe her hair behind her. This scene caught the attention of Han Xian and her daughter Han Kexin, who were sitting not far away. It felt particularly sharp and painful in their eyes.

Seeing their pained expressions, Qin Ruan's smile became even brighter.

"That's enough, let's go eat," Qin Ruan stopped Qin Mei's movements and led him towards the dining table.

Inside the dining room, the servants had laid out delicious and exquisite dishes on the table, waiting for the hosts to sit down.

Qin Ruan and Qin Mei entered the dining room and sat down, but they did not greet Han Xian and her daughter sitting across from them. They simply picked up their chopsticks and began to eat while chatting.

Sitting opposite to Han Kexin, with fear in her eyes, she looked at Qin Ruan's delicate face beaming with a smile, which was as horrifying as seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Han Xian still couldn't bear to see her daughter's shameful performance and kicked her under the table.

Han Kexin's body trembled, and she lowered her head and ate like a robot.

The dinner went relatively smoothly.

Han Xian and her daughter Han Kexin were surprisingly quiet and didn't make any trouble.

After dinner, Qin Ruan went back to her bedroom on the second floor.

She relaxed her body and lay casually on the bed.

Although she had only conceived for a few days, she felt drowsy after eating and wanted to sleep.

Qin Ruan checked the information and knew that this was a false pregnancy phenomenon, and her body was subconsciously adapting to the reaction during pregnancy.

She indulged in this feeling.

Only when her body was healthy could the baby be more healthy.

Qin Ruan, who was lying on the bed, began to fight between her upper and lower eyelids.

Not long after, even breathing could be heard in the quiet bedroom.

...

Qin's house, third floor.

Han Xian and Han Kexin returned to their room, both looking unhappy.

"Mom! Qin Ruan is really a monster, she is an evil spirit! She said it herself!" Han Kexin lay on Han Xian's leg, choking with fear.

"Shut up!" Han Xian stopped her sharply, "Don't be influenced by her nonsense. I really underestimated this bitch. All those performances of inferiority, wanting to get close to people but being timid, were probably just an act."

In her opinion, Qin Ruan was just confusing her daughter.

She didn't believe in ghosts or anything like that.

Han Kexin's face turned pale, "I really saw her transform. Her eyes were pitch black with no whites at all, which was especially frightening. Mom, I'm really scared!"
