1662 Who Had Redeemed Who
It took a long time before Chu Qi spoke again. “Ji’er, you heard some of this from others and added your own assumptions to them. If you are doubting your father based on only this, don’t you think you’re being unfair to him? Even the magistrate’s office would require evidence to persecute a criminal. It’s not fair to decide your father is guilty without giving him a chance to explain things, isn’t it?”
Ji’er lifted her head. “Do you think I should ask my father about this directly?”
Chu Qi contemplated this and then held her hand before saying, “Regardless of whether or not what those servants said was true, the seed of doubt has already been planted inside you. It’s troubling you and making you doubt your father. However, no matter what the truth is, you should still decide what you wish to believe. I don’t remember what happened on the day you were born, but I have witnessed your father’s love for you throughout the years. He genuinely loves you very much.”
Ji’er pressed her lips and the look in her eyes dimmed. “That’s because he feels that he owes me a debt and wants to make up for it.”
Chu Qi sighed. “Be a good girl, Ji’er. You have to clarify the situation and you shouldn’t be in a rush to crucify your father.”
Ji’er hugged him around the neck. “Lil Qi, I’m afraid of finding out the truth. I’m scared that I won’t be able to accept it. It might be too much for me.”
“Silly girl. You still have me, don’t you? I’ll be by your side no matter what happens. Don’t be afraid. Seeking out the truth is better than allowing your thoughts to run wild.” Chu Qi comforted her gently.
Ji’er buried her tear-soaked face into his neck. Her voice trembled slightly. “I’m lucky to still have you… Thank you, Lil Qi.”
She really did not know what she would do if she did not have Lil Qi by her side.
“I should be the one saying that,” Chu Qi said softly as he caressed her beautiful hair.
“Why?” Puzzled, Ji’er looked up at him with her teary eyes.
Chu Qi wrapped his arms around her and leaned his chin against her shoulder. “It’s because I’ve forgotten the past and lost my memory. I can’t even remember who I am or where I came from. You were by my side the moment I woke up at the base of Thousand Feet Cliff. Rather than saying that I was the one who took care of you, it would be more accurate to say that you were my redemption.”
“Ji’er, I was scared and insecure during that time. I had lost my memories and I couldn’t even see. That helplessness and lack of purpose was something that I could never get used to, but when I heard such a young child breathing gently by my side, I began to feel much more grounded. No one knew about this, but it was only when carrying you that the helpless feeling inside me would go away. You became used to having me by your side, but actually, I was also reliant on you. So, please don’t ever think you have to thank me!”
When she heard his whispers in her ear, Ji’er’s heart finally settled down.
Even if the entire world abandoned her, Lil Qi would stay by her side.
That disturbing feeling caused by those two servants had lessened.
She still had Lil Qi.
She circled her arms around his waist, trying to get as much warmth from him as she could.
“Lil Qi, you have to stay by my side forever. You’re not allowed to leave even if I fall asleep. You have to always be next to me,” she mumbled as she buried her face into his chest.
“Alright. I won’t ever leave you. I’ll always be here,” Chu Qi whispered this promise as he kissed her on the forehead.
“Okay.” Ji’er closed her eyes obediently.
