She wasn't the type of person who liked to be the center of attention. Yet, at this moment, her mind was in a state of turmoil. Subconsciously, she felt that she should have trusted Mu Chen. Mu Chen wouldn't use her as a subst.i.tute, he had said that.

However, she still let her imagination run wild when people asked her questions again and again.

Sometimes, if one person asks, you can ignore them. If two people ask, you can also treat it as a joke. When countless people ask, you will begin to waver and start to doubt them.

"Grandfather, grandmother, what if I really am a subst.i.tute? I'm already in love with him. " Zhang Xiao's beautiful face was filled with undisputable worry.

If she had known that loving someone would tire her, she wouldn't have loved him.

Only heartless people would not be tormented by emotions.

In the past, she had lived such a carefree and carefree life. No matter how many men pursued her, she had never experienced any pain. This was the best example because she was heartless and loveless.

The two elders looked at Zhang Xiao lovingly.

Zhang Xiao thought back to the depths of her memories, and how her grandparents had a very good relations.h.i.+p with each other. The two elders had lived until the end of their lives, and even when they were ill, they had died in the same year, and the one who had left first would say that they were waiting for each other at the head of the Bridge of Helplessness and that they had agreed to not drink Grandma Meng's Elixir at the bridge, and that they still wanted to be husband and wife in their next lives.

When she was young, she didn't understand her grandparents' feelings.

Now that she had fallen in love with Mu Chen, and even quickly married Mu Chen, she understood that the two elders' feelings for each other were very deep.

It was weird that her father would be so devoted to her as her grandfather and grandmother …

No, her father was equally devoted, it was just that her father's devotion was not to her mother, but to Ling Hong Yu.

The wind blew past his ears and carried along the drizzling rain, like a blade, causing Zhang Xiao to feel pain.

Other than the sound of the wind, there was no other sound within the cemetery.

The rows of tombstones, the rows of pine cypresses, were all waiting for the souls of the dead.

The sky was dark, as if a hood were falling over it.

Zhang Xiao accompanied her grandfather and grandmother for a while, and spoke out everything she wanted to say. Although the two elders couldn't reply to her, she felt that her heart felt much better after she said it.

Slowly, she stood up.

While holding the other bunch of chrysanthemums in one hand, she was also holding the old umbrella given to her by the aunty of the store.

Lowering her eyes to take a deeper look, Zhang Xiao turned and walked away. She did not walk towards the exit of the cemetery, but chose to walk along the rows of tombs.

Countless strange remains flashed through the corner of her eyes.

The cypress trees varied in height. They were taller than her, and their branches were luxuriant. As long as she stood by the side of the tree, she could hide her.

The cold wind blew towards Zhang Xiao.

Others who heard such rumors would feel a sense of dread in their hearts.

Zhang Xiao was not afraid.

This was her usual place.

After walking for an unknown distance, the front of her cemetery turned to another side, and the top of the mountain behind the cemetery was still filled with tombs.

Zhang Xiao found Ning Tong's grave.

The Ning Tong on the tombstone was as gentle and sweet as the one in his memories. It was just that after she had grown up, her beauty had grown, and he was even more beautiful than when he was young.

There were two bouquets of chrysanthemums in front of the grave, but they had all withered because of the days.

Zhang Xiao guessed that either Mu Chen or Ning Zhi Yuan had visited him a few days ago.

She bent down and gently placed the bunch of chrysanthemums she had bought before the grave, then lowered her eyes to look at the faintly smiling Ning Tong.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that Ning Tong's appearance was very similar to hers.

When he thought about how his mother and Mrs. Ning were siblings, and how her appearance was similar to his mother's, it was normal for Ning Tong and hers to be similar.

"Little Big Sister, Xiao Er has come to see you."

Zhang Xiao squatted and looked at Ning Tong's body.

After recognizing Ning Zhi Yuan, her way of addressing him was the same as ever.

"How are you doing over there?"

Ning Tong only laughed.

The wind seemed to have grown stronger.

It was as if Ning Tong was sighing softly.

"Mu Ya is very good, very sensible, very cute and very healthy." When he mentioned Mu Ya, Zhang Xiao's face softened and she unconsciously revealed a slight smile. Mu Ya's little body seemed to float in front of his eyes.

It had already been half a year since the child had been carried by her hand. Naturally, she had nurtured her feelings for him.

Moreover, when she first met Mu Ya, she liked that child.

Especially when Mu Ya called her mother to soften her heart.

"I told Mu Ya before, you were her mother by blood. She didn't know it before, but now she knows I'm not the same person as you. "

Zhang Xiao recounted the current situation of Mu Ya.

The person that Ning Tong was worried about the most in the Nine Springs should be the young girl.

"Mu Chen... He's fine, too. "

When the topic got to Mu Chen, Zhang Xiao's heart felt as if it had been slashed by a blade.

In his heart, was she Zhang Xiao or Ning Tong?

"Little Big Sister, I won't be jealous of you, nor will I mind if you continue to stay in Mu Chen's heart. But I really don't want to become a subst.i.tute. If so, what should I do? If not, how could he have fallen in love with me so quickly? "Only by using me as a subst.i.tute will he love you more quickly, but the person he loves is not me, but you."

"Whooosh."

The wind howled.

Just like how Ning Tong anxiously explained on behalf of Mu Chen.

The fate between Zhang Xiao and heherselfad long been sealed, it was not now. With the bit of fate she had when she was a child, coupled with the light coming from Zhang Xiao himself, and Mu Chen being a normal man, even if he didn't want to love Zhang Xiao, she wouldn't be able to control herself.

He loved Zhang Xiao.

His love for Ning Tong had already become a memory that was buried deep within the depths of his heart.

Meng Yi Fan could feel that his love for Zhang Xiao had become even more intense.

It could be said that he had never realized it before. His feelings for Ning Tong was most likely due to their kins.h.i.+p, because he was still two years older than Ning Zhi Yuan. It could be said that he had watched Ning Tong grow up and married Ning Tong to him.

However, it was difficult for the person in question to understand these emotional entanglements.

It was said that the onlookers knew what was going on.

For example, the current Zhang Xiao, she was usually smart, but had fallen into a daze, and was not as knowledgeable as Yang Xi, because she was a person in the shadows and not a bystander.

"When I interacted with Mu Chen, I was initially a little t.i.t for tat, how could he possibly … Little Big Sister, what do you think I should do? I can help you support Mu Ya's healthy growth, I can take care of Mu Chen in your place, but I, sigh! " Zhang Xiao laughed bitterly, "I don't know what's wrong with me either. My mind was thrown into disorder by a series of questions from those people, and I couldn't tell if it was real or fake."

Ning Tong looked at her.

That slight smile could topple cities and overthrow countries.

Believe in Mu Chen!

Ning Tong's gentle voice floated into Zhang Xiao's mind along with the wind.

He really loves you!

Trust him!

Don't be manipulated by others. Don't fall into their trap.
