People in Qin Dynasty: Opening the treasure chest, I took off!

Chapter 28 Deep Mother-Daughter Bond

"It's really nothing." Jing Ni turned and walked into the house. "I'm going to check on Xia Yan."

Xia Bing watched her retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

These two women...

He owes them so much.

……

(Life in Xinzheng City remains peaceful.)

(But some changes are quietly taking place.)

into the night.

Xia Bing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Too many things happened today, which upset him.

Yan Ling Ji, Zi Nu, Xue Nu, Jing Ni...

These women are all extraordinary.

He sighed and sat up.

"What's wrong?" Jingni's voice came from the side.

"I can't sleep."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Xia Bing lay back down on the bed. "You go to sleep."

Jing Ni remained silent.

She turned to look at him.

Her eyes shone brightly in the moonlight.

"Xia Bing."

"Um?"

Are you...worried about something?

"A little," Xia Bing admitted, "but it's nothing serious."

"Is it because of the Snow Woman? Or the Flame Spirit Princess?"

"Yes, I have both." Xia Bing smiled bitterly. "And you."

"Me?" Jing Ni was taken aback. "What happened to me?"

"You..." Xia Bing looked at her, "You're too good to me."

"What's wrong with that?"

"It's so good that it makes me feel guilty." Xia Bing sighed. "I owe you so much."

Jing Ni fell silent.

She knew Xia Bing was telling the truth.

From the very beginning, she was Xia Bing's woman.

But Xia Bing has more and more women around her.

Snow Maiden, Purple Maiden, Flame Spirit Princess...

Each one of them is no worse than her.

"Xia Bing," she suddenly said.

"Um?"

Do you know why I'm willing to follow you?

Why?

"Because..." Jing Ni looked at him, "you saved me."

Xia Bing was stunned for a moment.

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple." Jing Ni nodded. "When I was in the Luo Wang organization, I lived only to carry out my missions."

"You showed me that there can be other meanings to living."

She reached out and gently stroked Xia Bing's face.

"Xia Bing, you don't need to feel guilty."

"I chose to follow you because it was my own choice."

"No matter how many women are around you, I will never regret it."

Xia Bing looked into her eyes.

Under the moonlight, her eyes were very gentle.

"Jing Ni..."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me."

"Thank you... for always being there for me."

Jingni laughed.

She leaned in and gently kissed Xia Bing's lips.

"Don't think too much," she whispered. "Go to sleep."

Xia Bing reached out and pulled her into his arms.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

……

In the next room.

The snow woman lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open.

She heard the noise from next door.

She heard Xia Bing and Jing Ni's conversation clearly.

"Living can have other meanings..."

She murmured to herself, feeling a pang of sadness.

Jing Ni is Xia Bing's woman.

She knew it from the beginning.

but……

"Am I also slowly finding meaning?" the Snow Woman asked herself.

She didn't know the answer.

All she knew was that her world changed the day she met Xia Bing.

She began to look forward to it.

I look forward to seeing him every morning.

I look forward to talking to him every night.

She hoped... he would look at her more than once.

"Snow Woman, you're so foolish," she said with a wry smile. "He already has Jing Ni in his heart."

"You... you just came later."

Tears streamed down her face, soaking the pillow.

She turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

"Stop thinking about it..." she told herself. "Stop thinking about it..."

However, I just couldn't suppress the feelings in my heart.

"Xia Bing..." she whispered, "What should I do?"

No one answered her.

Only the moonlight from outside the window quietly spilled onto the ground.

……

the next day.

When Xia Bing got up, she found that Xue Nu was already in the yard.

She stood in the corner, looking at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

"Snow Woman."

The snow woman turned around.

Her eyes were a little red.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Bing walked over.

"It's nothing," the Snow Woman said, turning her head away. "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Didn't sleep well?" Xia Bing frowned. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," the snow woman shook her head, "I'm really fine."

Xia Bing looked at her and felt that she was hiding something.

"Snow Woman," he began, "last night...did you hear something?"

The snow woman's body stiffened.

"No." Her voice trembled slightly. "I didn't hear anything."

Xia Bing sighed.

He knew she was lying.

But he didn't want to call her out on it.

"Snow Woman," he said, "there are some things I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

"About...you and me."
