Chapter 1941 — Qingbo's Wife
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Moreover, she knew Qingbo's standing well enough: within the Gu Group he stood above ten thousand men, second only to one. With such a position, what beauty could he not have? How could he possibly take a fancy to her? So although she had heard Wei Zhao's matchmaking talk before, she had paid it no mind at all.
Since the man had not set his heart on her, then what did such a look mean? Still, Granny Sun knew that this visitor must be closer to Wei Zhao and the others than she herself was, so she betrayed no displeasure.
Yet for all her puzzlement, Granny Sun could also sense the deep tenderness in Qingbo's eyes, and it struck her as very strange. Surely he had not fallen for her at first sight?
"Luoyue, is it you..." Qingbo raised a trembling hand, his voice shaking, his breathing grown hurried.
"?" Granny Sun stared at Qingbo in bewilderment. Luoyue? Who was Luoyue... Hmm? The name seemed somehow familiar. Had she heard it before? She shook her head again—no impression remained.
"I... I am Fuli!" For the first time in all these years, Li Fu spoke his true name aloud. But he did not mind; everyone standing nearby was among those dearest to him, and no one would do him harm—and Wei Zhao, besides, had saved his life more than once.
And in that moment, Wei Zhao learned for the first time that Li Fu's true name was Fuli—Li Fu, Fuli, the two characters simply reversed and recombined into a single name.
At the sound of the two words "Fu Lin," a change came over Granny Sun's face at last. But in the next instant her eyes went blank and distant, as though she were remembering, or perhaps quite lost. After a long while she shook her head and said, "I think I knew you once... but I remember nothing at all. You... do you know who I am?"
By now, seeing the look on Qingbo's face, Wei Zhao had more or less guessed just who Granny Sun was to him. He could only marvel at how this world was sometimes said to be vast, and sometimes so very small.
For all those years in the same city, they had never crossed paths; yet when Granny Sun came with them to Donghai, their paths crossed at last... Life, ah—it was a grand drama woven of coincidence and fate.
"You are Sun Luoying, my wife!" Qingbo said, gazing at Granny Sun in desperate haste.
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had never known the full story of Qingbo's past, so they had not caught on as quickly as Wei Zhao. Only now, when Qingbo spoke those words, did they turn to look at Qingbo and Granny Sun, stunned and aghast...
Granny Sun was actually Qingbo's dead wife? But... Granny Sun was alive and well, which meant she had never died. Yet from the look of her, she seemed to remember nothing at all...
"I? Your wife?" Granny Sun's eyes widened in astonishment. "My name is Sun Luoying?"
