Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 466: Longing

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Longing

"I don’t have any other thoughts now, only to make up for my shortcomings towards Yuanbao in the remaining time."

In the past five years, Ming Qin has also given it some thought. She and the system have been trying for so long, but despite this, the world has chosen to self-destruct, so what can she do about it?

"Senior, don’t you want to give it another shot?" Nanzhi knew that Ming Qin was more powerful than her and Shen Wenchen.

Not quite, Shen Wenchen still had a villain’s aura, it seems like she was the most useless one left...

The more she thought about it, the more disheartened she became, and Nanzhi’s little face instantly fell.

"Senior, we’ve had some unique encounters. An old man once told us that as long as we seize the opportunity, we can make it through."

Shen Wenchen looked serious, now that the farmland across Xia Country could no longer produce grain, perhaps only Ming Qin could help them.

"Unique encounters?"

Ming Qin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she pondered this.

Although they didn’t understand why she was suddenly brooding, Shen Wenchen and Nanzhi remained silent, watching her and waiting for her next words.

"The old man you met, was it the Taoist with white eyebrows and black hair?"

"Yes." The two nodded in unison.

Hearing their reply, Ming Qin slowly exhaled a sigh.

"Since he said it, there must be a chance. If there’s anything you need my help with, feel free to ask."

A smile spread across Ming Qin’s face. Though not overly cheerful, it was clear that a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

When she first arrived in this world, she found herself in a barren mountain. She was dazed at that time, and it was the old man who found her and led her out of the mountain.

Before parting, she wanted to express her gratitude, but the old man simply said that she would have a lot to go through on this journey.

Before she could react, the old man disappeared before her eyes.

It wasn’t until she entered Qing Fenghan that she realized that the old man was not an ordinary person.

Perhaps it had something to do with her time travel.

"Then, thank you, senior!"

"No problem."

It being the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month, the Lin family was still preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in the city. Shen Wenchen and Nanzhi didn’t want to stay in the village for too long, so the couple left the food they brought and set off on the road back to the city.

It was only when it started to get dark that Chi Sheng finally stopped working.

"Boss, you should rest for a while too." Seeing the sweat on his forehead, his aunt rushed over with a bowl of water.

"It’s okay, I’m not tired."

Chi Sheng took the bowl of water and drank it in one gulp before rolling up his sleeves to continue.

"Boss, it’s already dark. We still have to cook some hot soup for the people inside." Aunt Li looked at the shining large iron pot, her expression almost pleading.

They brought back quite a few strong laborers this time. With more people in the village, tasks were completed much faster.

But the Boss seemed to be a workaholic, always busy.

If she didn’t stop him, he might even want to go inside to take care of the patients.

"Okay, then, aunt, you go ahead with your work."

Chi Sheng felt a bit awkward and stopped reluctantly.

"Boss, you better go back and rest too."

Just like a pardon, Aunt Li hurriedly took the large iron pot. She felt a little distressed.

This pot was only used when their family cooked oil and meat dishes at home. At first, there was a thin layer of oil on it, and she planned to use the meat they received today to stew a pot of meat porridge for them to nourish their bodies.

Now that the oil had been washed away, she would need to get some more pork fat.

After leaving the courtyard, Chi Sheng still felt a bit uneasy.

He wanted to see her, but he didn’t know what to say when they met.

Should he ask her how she has been these five years, or why she left in the first place?

Or perhaps, did she regret anything in these five years?

Yuanbao grew up without a mother. Even though everyone in the village loved and protected her, some kids would always tease her about it.

Yuanbao was very smart, she had been smart since she was a kid.

Back then, she was plump, and only her eyes resembled her mother’s.

But now, as she had lost weight, they looked more and more alike.

Chi Sheng was torn.

The woman he loved left him and their daughter.

Just when he was finally letting go, she suddenly reappeared.

Lost in his thoughts, Chi Sheng didn’t notice the person in front of him.

Only when he bumped into someone did he quickly come to his senses.

"I’m sorr..."

When he saw the person in front of him, Chi Sheng’s remaining words got stuck in his throat.

They hadn’t seen each other for five years, they both seemed the same as before, yet also somewhat changed.

She was still dressed in a red dress, her little face filled with a smile.

"Chi Sheng."

The woman’s eyes curved, just looking straight at him.

Chi Sheng didn’t say a word, just looking at this woman who had abandoned him five years ago.

"I’m back."

Ming Qin’s voice was very soft, yet it fell heavily into Chi Sheng’s ears like a huge rock being lifted up and then thrown into a lake.

It caused a huge splash.

He couldn’t utter any insincere words.

He hadn’t let go, he had been thinking about her all along.

Even if the memories in his mind started to blur, even if he tried to hide his love and resentment for her during these endless days and nights.

"Why did you leave."

Chi Sheng’s throat tightened, although his face remained calm, his heart was already so painful that he could hardly breathe.

Five years.

An entire five years.

How could she suddenly leave, and then reappear after abandoning him?

"I had some very important things to do."

Ming Qin looked steadily at the man in front of her, her heart aching uncontrollably.

She knew how deep his love for her was, which was why she left so decisively.

She was only able to do so because she relied on Chi Sheng’s love for her.

"I could have gone with you." A trace of grievance flashed in Chi Sheng’s eyes, his voice faintly filled with loneliness.

"What about the village and Yuanbao?"

Ming Qin’s eyes turned red as she looked at the man who was about to cry in front of her, her vision blurred by tears.

"You are so heartless. I always thought that maybe one day, you’ll suddenly appear in front of Yuanbao and me just like when you first arrived. But I’ve waited for you for five years, without a single word from you..."

Chi Sheng’s long-hidden mask was slowly breaking, the steady and humorous boss suddenly reverted to his youthful self.

"Chi Sheng, I missed you."

Grievance filled Ming Qin’s voice, she could no longer hold back her tears. Droplets fell onto her chest, soaking her clothes.

She missed him very much.

Each day and night in the palace, she was restless.

She often had thoughts of running away, escaping from the palace, running back to her own Qing Fenghan.

But the system said that the world needed her to save it.

She was just an ordinary person, she wanted to live with the person she loved, and didn’t want to be the great hero who saves lives.
