He had tried his very best to make sure that she was safe and happy. How could she bear to fill herself with hatred and be blind to those who loved her…
She was fortunate to be able to have this life. She not only had hatred, but she also had what was important: kinship, friendship, and love.
“Tianxin, I am jealous of him after hearing you say that.”
Yan Jun knew very well that no one was rational when they were in love.
She was not early, nor was she late. She just happened to have met him at the right time.
People were only travelers in this world. Traveling alone could be lonesome. Finding someone who could accompany them on this journey was the most comforting of all.
“Yan Jun, one day, you’ll meet the perfect match for you. And you will only have eyes for her…,” Ye Tianxin comforted him.
Yan Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly. ‘I have already met her,’ he said to himself.
However, her heart already belonged to someone else.
She was not even willing to let him be her backup plan.
“Alright. I understand. Thank you, Tianxin, for being honest with me. You deserve the best in this world.”
Ye Tianxin smiled. She asked Yan Jun somewhat embarrassedly, “Yan Jun, could you mind the book shop for a while? I have something urgent to do. It won’t take long.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Yan Jun did not ask where Ye Tianxin was going or what she was going to do. He was still upset.
Ye Tianxin took a small bag with her and left the bookstore. She hailed a taxi and went to the public cemetery.
Ye Tianxin went straight to look for the person-in-charge of the cemetery. She wanted to buy a plot.
Since she had money, everything went smoothly.
Someone at the cemetery would deal with everything for Ye Tianxin. A staff in charge of making the headstone asked, “What words would you like us to carve on the headstone?”
“You don’t have to carve anything on it.”
The headstone was set up. Ye Tianxin did not know anything about feng shui. She only knew that she was able to get a good view of the lake and the mountains at the spot where she was standing.
The sun shone on the surface of the lake, and the lake looked peaceful.
Ye Tianxin placed the drawing she had removed from the book earlier this morning and placed it inside the grave.
She put her hands together and stood in front of the grave quietly.
In the future, this is where she would come for solace when was missing Jin.
Jin…
My Jin…
‘No matter who your father is, you will always be my child.’
‘You are my son whom I had carried for nine months. My son whom I have taken care of.’
‘My darling Jin, Mommy loves you.’
Ye Tianxin sat in front of the grave alone for a long while. She did not say a single word. She was occupied with her thoughts. Then, she looked at the headstone with eyes that were filled with love and gentleness.
The sun shone brightly in the sky. It was almost noon.
Ye Tianxin left the public cemetery after that. The public cemetery was very far from the city.
Calling a taxi in that place was quite challenging. Ye Tianxin was prepared to walk to the bus stop, which was a few kilometers away.
Beep! A car honked behind her.
Ye Tianxin turned around and saw a black sedan stopping slowly by the side of the road. The driver was none other than Xie Xinghe.
“Tianxin, what are you doing here?” Xie Xinghe asked.
Ye Tianxin greeted him, “Brother Xinghe, I came here to look at the plots.”
Xie Xinghe knew some details about Ye Tianxin’s life. He thought that Ye Tianxin had come to find a plot for her grandmother, so he did not bother to ask more questions.
“Tianxin, get in. I will drive you back to the city.”
“Thanks, Brother Xinghe.”
Ye Tianxin opened the car door and slid into the backseat.
Xie Xinghe glanced at Ye Tianxin through the rearview mirror. He asked, “Tianxin, I heard from Xingchen that your grandmother raised you. Do you know who your father is?”
