Chapter 1402

Does Uncle look at her the same way Feng Jin looked at Qingyou back then?

Baili Xia was startled by the woman’s words and instinctively wanted to turn back to look at Mu Xiaojiu, but she didn’t dare.

“Yes, I wouldn’t misjudge someone.” The woman named Mrs.

Hong squeezed her little hand.

Not sure what she was thinking, her expression became more serious.

“Little girl, a man this devoted, you won’t find another like him in the world.”

“You must cherish him well, don’t leave him like my benefactor did.”

“If you leave him, he will be lonely for his entire life, unable to find happiness because of you…”

Baili Xia doesn’t remember much else that Mrs.

Hong said, only that she said Uncle has feelings for her…

deeply.

Deep feelings.

Can these words really be applied to Uncle’s feelings for her?

Qingyou has been dead for more than ten years, and Feng Jin has missed her for that long, never letting another woman into his heart.

If…

if one day she also died, would Uncle guard his feelings for her like Feng Jin did, for over ten years?

But a relationship that began with manipulation still has elements of manipulation in it even now.

Where is the sincerity in such feelings?

But Mrs.

Hong said, the way he looks at her is indeed filled with deep emotion…

Mrs.

Hong went home to cook, apparently, her son and daughter are working in the city.

Although it’s not particularly far from the city, the mountain roads are too difficult to traverse, and cars can’t get through.

So, her children have been away for many years and rarely come back to be with them.

She has a husband at home who has been ill for many years, reportedly his health is failing.

The reason they continue to remember You’er, their benefactor, is because years ago, You’er saved her husband when he was already in critical condition.

Later, You’er and Fengjin often brought good medicine for her husband without accepting any payment.

Her husband’s health miraculously improved, and what was supposed to be half a year to live turned into living for ten, twenty years.

They feel genuine gratitude towards You’er and Fengjin, but have struggled to find an opportunity to repay them.

Actually, perhaps deep down Mrs.

Hong has also thought that You’er is no longer here.

Fengjin has been thinking about her all these years, Mrs.

Hong doesn’t quite understand, but is You’er…

perhaps really gone?

Yet she has been unwilling to face it…

Walking along the country path, the surrounding tranquility gave Baili Xia a sense of being isolated from the world.

Occasionally turning her head to glance at the man walking beside her, she couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart.

Uncle, Feng Jin…

can true love in this world really remain unchanged for decades, even a lifetime?

“What are you thinking?” Suddenly, the man spoke indifferently, “What exactly did that woman say to you?”

The last couple of sentences were too quiet as they walked closely together, and he didn’t hear them clearly.

Ever since that talk, the girl has been in a daze, absent-minded.

Did they…

share some secret?

Even though he isn’t the least bit curious about the woman’s secretive words, if they relate to her, then a bit of curiosity wouldn’t hurt.

“She didn’t say much, just talked about You’er and Fengjin, which I’ve already mentioned to you.”

Baili Xia doesn’t want to repeat Mrs.

Hong’s last words to him.

How could she?

Saying it out loud would make her blush.

Yet, there’s a question she has always wanted to ask.

“Uncle, if one day I died, how long… would you remember me?”
