Chapter 755 - The Curse ( 30 ) (1/2)

After breakfast, Liwei's phone rang. It was Bai Ju. He glanced at Xie Ming before he picked up the call. His eyes widened in shock as he wasn't expecting to get this news from the other side.

Xie Ming and others became worried and curious seeing his expressions and waited for him to tell him what Bai Ju had said. They need to find the other hairpin to complete the ritual but other than the hot spring, no place was coming into their mind.

However, they were planning to check the other places for the hairpin such as the swimming pool behind the villa where Xie Ming had slipped into and drowned before. But there are fewer chances for the hairpin to be found there.

Seeing Liwei's expressions, they were not sure if it's good news or not.

After Liwei hung up the call, Xie Ming asked worriedly, ” What happened? What did he say?”

He pursed his lips and turned to Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming, his dazed gaze was making everyone confused and worried.

”Bai Ju called to give me the updates about the hairpin. The hairpin-

Ji Cheng glanced at Zhao Ming who was standing upright, with her hands clasped in front in politeness. Her face was pale as she was tired from the 2-hour long drive. There was a bitter smile on her face, her teary-eyed expressions were making him see another side of hers.

It was his first time to see how much she loves her mother. The pain in her eyes was making him feel how much she has gone through since she was young.

They came to a mountain to meet her mother, it took them 2-hours to reach through the drive. He looked at the tree at which Zhao Ming was staring and there was a photo on the tree, it was her mother's picture.

There was a little girl standing beside her in that photo, the girl was hugging a pink teddy bear, her hair was styled in two braids. His lips automatically turned into a smile seeing the girl laughing in the photo. It was his first time seeing Xie Ming's childhood photos.

Till now, he knew her as Zhao Ming, but now he not only knows her real name but also how she used to look. There are many mistakes that he has made, but he is ready to change and put effort into their relationship.

Before this, he was hesitant to accept his feelings for her. After hearing Zhao Ming's response the other day, when she told him that she loves Liwei, he was puzzled and lost about his feelings.

He was not sure how he should take this situation. He loves Zhao Ming but he was confused about which Zhao Ming he loves. He was surprised at how Liwei accepted his feelings for Zhao Ming so easily and he didn't waver for a moment even after knowing the truth.

However, after the conversation that he had with Liwei yesterday, while they were searching the hairpin at the hot spring, it made him realize that he was going wrong all along.

It was normal for him to be confused but the problem is he didn't give Zhao Ming a chance to explain and even ignored her. The thing he did wrong was his approach towards dealing with this situation.

” It was not wrong for you to be confused. I was fl.u.s.tered at first as well, but I chose to trust Xie Ming. I let her explain herself, I tried to think from her perspective.” Liwei said as he was standing in the hot spring and looked at Ji Cheng who was inside the water as well, bare-chested.

” How frustrating she must have felt when she died and suddenly woke up as someone else. I can't even imagine living in a different world without knowing anyone. Thinking from her perspective, it made me realize how much courage she had gathered when she decided to trust me. I was a stranger to her but she..followed me, loved me, and showed her weakest side to me.”

” How can I let her crumble when she showed so much trust in me?” Hearing these words from Liwei, he realized how mature he is.

Liwei chose to face the situation, whereas he chose to run away from it, which made it even more complicated and difficult. If he had tried to think it from her perspective, and had shared his thoughts with her, things might not have turned out as they did.

He was conflicted and was wondering how to talk to her about this after they came back. However, before he could bring out the topic, Xie Ming told him that she is pregnant. His feelings became only stronger after hearing this news.

This woman is going to bear my child, she is leaving her world, her family, everything behind. It was his responsibility to make her happy and give her all the love she deserves.
