The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor
chapter-1044

On closer thought, if she can never marry Ji Mo Ya, who else can she marry? Shang Qiu Meng Qian was at least someone she knew; his mouth might be venomous but he has his pride and has a bottom line in his character as well.

Moreover, both their spirit treasures are compatible and with Ji Mo Ya out of the picture, Shang Qiu Meng Qian was likely the best choice left.

Huan Qing Yan closed her eyes before making up her mind: “I can agree, but I have one request.”

Shang Qiu Meng Qian felt his tensed heart finally calmed down and nodded: “Do tell.”

“It is something you know. My baby has left me for less than a year and as his mother, I naturally cannot get married so early yet…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Shang Qiu Meng Qian nodded in understanding and said: “I understand what you want to say. We can get engaged first by signing the engagement letter. A huge wedding between two Great Clans requires time to prepare and cannot be rushed as well, it will take at least half a year for preparations. Rest assured, this Young Master might have admired the lady for a long time but I am also a person of morals, I will not force you. I will wait, wait until the day you can accept me!”

He was implying that he would respect Huan Qing Yan’s will and not force her.

Huan Qing Yan sighed in relief and looked at Shang Qiu Meng Qian with eyes filled with gratitude. No matter what was his final motive, his suggestion was currently the best path for her.

Shang Qiu Meng Qian graciously accepted Huan Qing Yan’s thanks before putting down his cup and stood up: “Now that we have clarified everything, this Young Master can now return and prepare the betrothal gifts, Lady Qing Qing just needs to wait for the good news to arrive.”

Huan Qing Yan stood up and lightly bowed as well: “See you, Young Master Shang Qiu!”

Ji Mo Ya received Sage Cai’s spirit crane and he learned that the baby had started to breathe after consuming the Purple Sesame Horse. Although the breathing was very weak, the death aura surrounding the baby has dissipated; all that was left now was to give proper care, continue to soak the baby in the medicinal bath and he will be no different from any other baby.

Ji Mo Ya could not remain still the moment he got that news and traveled through the nights to rush back to the Ji Mo Clan.

Sage Cai also displayed a relaxed expression now because a junior’s life was saved, and it was a child with excellent potential, allowing the Ji Mo Clan to have no worries for up to three generations.

The first thing Ji Mo Ya did after entering the courtyard of Sage Cai was to rush to the room where the child was being kept.

The baby was currently lying within the bathtub filled with medicinal liquid, only his cute and handsome head was revealed; currently sleeping.

The baby’s long lashes fluttered for a moment as it wrinkled its cute nose slightly, his mouth would occasionally pout. His cuteness can cause anyone’s heart to melt.

Ji Mo Ya did not dare to even breathe too heavily and cast several Cleansing Spell on himself before stretching out his hand, placing a finger slightly below the child’s nose. When he felt the warm air coming out from the baby, he could no longer hold back his tears.

He lowered his body and, without blinking, looked at this baby that he could carry with a hand. The baby looked pitifully frailed, yet has a fair and succulent skin which was emitting a faint pinkness. His head of hair was full and thick.

Ji Mo Ya greedily looked at the baby, this is his flesh and blood, his and Little Yan’s child!

He felt his heart softening just by looking at the baby, resisting the urge to carry this tiny baby and press him against his heart.

After some time, the baby wrinkled its tiny nose while its mouth seems to be searching for something but was unable to find it. Finally, with great difficulty, the baby did his best to open his eyes to reveal a pair of spirited and beautiful black eyes.
