Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Si Qiyan.

An Cinian's eyes reddened as she watched this scene. It turned out that her father loved her even more than she had imagined, and of course, she remembered everything about everyone after regaining her memories.

Her father was really, really good to her, but fate played a cruel trick on her. She was stolen away, which led to all the things that happened afterward. But she didn't want to blame them anymore. At least she met the most precious gift in her life, Xie Yu'an, her spirited and gentle lover.

"Dad~"

At this moment, An Cinian finally uttered the long-lost title.

Si Muxi, kneeling on the ground, felt even more pain. Eighteen years, a full eighteen years! His daughter was finally willing to acknowledge him!

An Cinian shed tears, but felt no pain, because Si Qiyan would never treat her like that; he just... just didn't want her to leave.

He could understand his own feelings for himself, just like his feelings for Xie Yu'an. Love brings confusion, heartache, and happiness; all the joys and sorrows can be experienced in love.

"Qingqing, don't you want me anymore? You said you would be with me forever, you said it~" Si Qiyan looked at An Cinian, whom he had pulled in front of him, his voice trembling as he expressed his love for An Cinian.

An Cinian looked at him and said, "I did say that before, but that was because I treated you like a brother. We are family, best friends. Ayan, I don't deserve your love for me."

Si Qiyan's heart turned to ice. An Cinian would never lie to him or deceive him. Her honesty was terrifying, heart-wrenching, and felt like his heart was being torn apart into a bottomless pit.

Just as An Cinian was about to say something more, she suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat. This feeling was both painful and accompanied by an uncontrollable urge to cough, which left her feeling bewildered.

Just as Chen Yang and the others entered the room, An Cinian heard someone call her name: "Xiao Nian!"

She felt the foreign object in her throat getting stronger and stronger, and she tried to cough it out.

After forcing herself to cough forcefully, her body involuntarily leaned forward, and with a violent cough, the thing that made her feel uncomfortable was finally vomited out.

"Nian Nian! Qing Qing!"

A cacophony of sounds arose from all directions.

An Cinian felt somewhat confused. She looked up, her gaze sweeping over everyone, trying to understand why everyone looked so tense and anxious.

Finally, her gaze shifted to the ground, and suddenly she noticed a pool of bright red blood.

He vomited blood?

I quickly looked at the bracelet on my right hand; the color had faded a little.

An Cinian was in a daze, completely bewildered. No, what were they saying? No... An Cinian clenched her fists, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. No, what were they saying? My ears, why can't I hear anything?

Si Qiyan also tensed up, his eyes also looking at the bracelet on An Cinian's right hand. Finally, at this moment, he remembered the words that Lu Ye had once said to him.

Brother, I'm begging you, you must protect Ci Nian. She's sick, don't hold a grudge against her, please, please take care of her feelings. Really, I'm begging you.

He talked a lot about An Cinian, and suddenly all the time he spent with Lu Ye came flooding back to his mind.

He had almost forgotten what Kano had said.

"Qingqing, I'm sorry."

Seeing An Cinian leaning on him, Si Qiyan panicked. He grabbed An Cinian's shoulders, his expression a stark contrast to his earlier anger, now filled with worry.

Xie Yu'an rushed over and pulled An Cinian into his arms: "Wife, wife, are you alright?"

An Cinian paused several times, blinked her eyes, and shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

"Let's go."

Xie Yu'an picked up An Cinian in her arms, and without saying anything more, left.

Lin Yan and the others blocked Si Qiyan's advance from behind. They figured they could fight him here if necessary, since Xiao Nian wouldn't let Si Qiyan take her away anyway.

Watching An Cinian being led away, Si Qiyan didn't chase after her for the first time. "I'm sorry, Qingqing. I've liked you for so many years, and we've spent so many wonderful days together. I almost thought you liked me."

However, my affection hurt you. You suffered a miscarriage, became ill, lost your memory, and vomited blood because of me. I told you I would keep you safe and protect you, but in the end, I left you covered in wounds.

Qingqing, did I use the wrong method?

Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for your kindness to me; those warm memories helped me through the most painful years. My only wish has always been for you to be safe and happy. My love is no less than Xie Yu'an's or Lu Ye's. I love you. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I was wrong.

An Cinian was taken back to her home.

Stepping through this door, after a long separation, An Cinian was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Honey, let's have the doctor take a look first, and then go back to our room to rest, okay?" He held An Cinian's hands, offering her warmth.

Nian Nian's hands are so cold.

An Cinian heard it a little unclearly, but she still nodded in response. She couldn't let Ayu know that her hearing was impaired.

The doctor quickly finished the examination and said that An Cinian was unwell and weak. He said that she might have vomited blood because of excessive grief. She just needed to take some medicine, rest well, and take care of her health.

Judging from the shape of her lips, An Cinian could roughly understand what the doctor was saying. She nodded, relieved that her body was quite special and most doctors wouldn't be able to tell her condition.

Xie Yu'an helped An Cinian into the bedroom.

"Honey, I miss you so much. You have no idea how much I've been thinking about you these past few days."

Before Xie Yu'an could speak, An Cinian spoke up, still holding Xie Yu'an in her arms.

She missed Xie Yu'an every moment, fearing that she would never see him again before she died, which would be so tragic, a lifelong regret, and a death without peace.

Her love for Xie Yu'an was very intense.

"Honey, I love you too."

Xie Yu'an held An Cinian's hand and sat on the bed. He squatted in front of An Cinian and stroked her cheek with her hand. It was like Xiu Gou meeting his favorite cat, so obedient and gentle.

As she spoke, she kissed An Cinian's hand again.

"Honey, how did you hurt your hand?"

I didn't notice it last time, but I just realized now that there are some burn marks on the back of my left hand. How hot must the water have been to cause these scars and they haven't disappeared yet?

"what?"

An Cinian leaned forward, but Xie Yu'an's voice was too soft for her to hear, and she suddenly forgot to cover up her actions.

"Honey, are you really alright?" Seeing An Cinian like this, Xie Yu'an's excited expression instantly turned tense. "This doctor is terrible. I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

As she spoke, she tried to pull An Cinian away.

Unfortunately, An Cinian stopped her, shaking her head with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just weak. You can stay here with me."
