Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 463

Chapter 463: 463

"Brother2."

Deputy Chief looked at the person before him, his expression complicated.

She had left for five years, and they had finally managed to move on. Yet she chose to return at this time.

"You..."

He wanted to say something, but could not bring himself to utter the words when he saw Yuanbao, who was sneakily stealing glances at her.

It was good that she was back. Yuanbao, who had never seen her mother ever since she was a baby, would now finally get to fulfill this wish.

This would save her the constant yearning to visit Mrs. Shen.

"It’s good to have you back."

"Yuanbao, this is your mom."

The little one had never expected her uncle to be so straightforward and was momentarily taken aback.

Uncle and father had been hiding the truth from her for so long, why would they suddenly disclose everything?

Yuanbao was also angry with Ming Qin for leaving. Even after hearing what Deputy Chief had said, she only clung tightly to Nanzhi’s clothes, hiding behind her.

"Yuanbao is a little scared, somewhat scared." Nanzhi explained awkwardly, patting the little one’s head to soothe her.

Seeing Nanzhi’s indulgent gaze towards Yuanbao, Ming Qin felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

She was happy, happy that her child was cared for by others, yet she also felt sad, because her own daughter didn’t feel close to her.

"Ming Qin, we didn’t mention you to Yuanbao during these five years you were gone because she was still young when you left and naturally doesn’t remember you."

Deputy Chief explained on behalf of Yuanbao, but he was feeling somewhat melancholic.

After Ming Qin abruptly went missing, the Chief fell into a long period of despondency. Although he eventually recovered, he changed.

He lost his youthful energy and looked more worried.

"Brother2, how is he now?"

Thinking of the disappointed look on that young man’s face, Ming Qin’s heart ached, causing her voice to tremble slightly.

He was her only lover from these two lifetimes.

But she gave up him and their child to "save the world."

She regretted it during the days and nights of these five years.

However, every time the sun rose, she could only push on, hoping to save more people, to plant more grain.

"He’s doing well."

"That’s good."

Ming Qin confirms in a quiet voice.

[Host, do you wish to disengage from the system?]

A mechanical voice rang in her head, prompting a bitter smile to appear on Ming Qin’s face.

"Disengage."

There was only a dull beep from the mechanical voice, then it disappeared.

She had been paired with this system for six years.

She awakened the civilian life system the moment she entered the Qing Fenghan.

In a country where the citizens often struggled for food, her system could bring potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and various other high-yielding crops.

These things could save people, even an entire country.

She didn’t believe it at first, only using her previous educational background to improve Qing Fenghan.

But when Yuanbao was born, government incompetence resulted in warfare and widespread suffering in Xia Country.

She began to waver.

She had the system and couldn’t justify hiding in a small settlement.

She chose to leave, to leave her lover and child, to venture alone into the palace.

The system claimed that it was created to save people, and brought seeds of various crops for Ming Qin to distribute.

Everything related to civilian life, from firewood, rice, oil, and salt to books and drawings, was disseminated from within the palace.

But she was trapped in the palace.

A few months ago, the system abruptly informed her that this world was on the verge of collapse and that even it was powerless in the face of the emerging disasters.

With a frequency of disasters and famine, the system chose to sleep. After teaching the technique of corn cultivation, she chose to leave.

The officials were not as powerless as they had thought, but they still had the intent to kill when they discovered she wanted to leave.

Now that she has left that place, the system has finally been unbound.

She can finally become Ming Qin again.

"Aze, let’s go train."

The atmosphere was really awkward, and Shen Wenchen knew that there was no use for them to stay here, so he stood up and dragged Aze away.

Yuanbao likes Nannan, and now that the atmosphere is so awkward, he decided to give her fifteen minutes, and then he would come back to take Nannan away.

"Yuanbao, I am your mother. Can you look at me?"

Ming Qin spoke softly, only wishing for Yuanbao to come out from behind Nanzhi’s back.

Yuanbao pouted, a layer of mist formed in her large eyes, it was heartbreakingly sad to look at.

"Don’t cry, Yuanbao, mom... mom was wrong."

Ming Qin, who had never experienced this before, was somewhat at a loss, and her beautiful face was filled with panic for a moment.

Yuanbao just timidly looked at her but didn’t respond.

She knew this was her mother, the one who has abandoned her and her father.

She is a child with a mother, not the wild child they said she was.

"Yuanbao, be good." Nanzhi also quietly coaxed her from the side, only wishing for them to recognize each other as soon as possible.

She knew in her heart Yuanbao’s longing for her mother and also knew that there must have been a reason for Ming Qin’s departure.

After a moment of silence, Yuanbao finally let go of Nanzhi’s skirt corner, biting her lip and looking at Ming Qin.

Seeing the opportunity, Nanzhi and the second master took the chance to leave, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.

"Second Master, what kind of person is sister Ming?"

"She is a kind, enthusiastic woman."

Her beauty was undeniable, but the Ming Qin he recognized was the one with twinkling stars in her eyes.

Inside the room, Ming Qin was a little nervous looking at Yuanbao, feeling her throat was dry and she couldn’t speak.

"Why did you, why did you choose to leave back then? Why abandon me and dad?"

Yuanbao looked at Ming Qin, questioning her word by word.

She had seen her dad secretly wiping away tears at night.

She had dreamed of her countless times, starting from blurry images to eventually seeing clearly her features over many, many years.

From when she was a little baby until now, this so-called mother of hers had never been by her side.

The countless times her dad cried secretly at night, there was nobody there to wipe his tears for him.

"Mom had difficulties, Yuanbao. Mom didn’t abandon you and your dad."

The system said, this world was collapsing, not just the development of the main characters’ relationship but now the world’s spiritual energy was disappearing, this plane would eventually disintegrate.

But if she had tried, this world may have still had a chance at survival.

She did not want her own Nana to disappear, also did not want to witness Chi Sheng slowly disintegrate.

She chose to leave, leaving the people she loved the most, to save those who had nothing to do with her.

"Is that difficulty really important, more important than me and dad?"

The childish voice resonated in the room, as though a bolt of lightning had struck.

"Not more important than you two, but mom had to do it. Yuanbao, can you forgive mom?"

Ming Qin’s voice choked up a bit.

"Then I’ll forgive you." Yuanbao pretended to be calm.

Mommy said it. The difficulty was not more important than her and dad. It was just that it had to be done, so mommy had to leave.

Since it was something important, she should forgive her!

"Yuan, Yuanbao..." Ming Qin was taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion.

"You won’t leave Yuanbao and daddy again, right."

The little one quietly looked at her, as if answering incorrectly would have serious consequences.

"No, mom won’t."

Warm tears rolled down her cheeks, and when she pulled the little one into her arms, she finally cried out loud.
