Shen Miao remembered it very clearly.

In her dream, her corpse was burned to ashes by the fire Fu Xiuyi ordered someone to set up. However, the resentment was extremely strong and refused to dissipate. Her soul was imprisoned in the cold palace and she was floating around aimlessly.

All the things she left behind had been burned. If not for the red string in Xie Jingxing’s hand, she would probably have long dissipated from the world.

Until the day the city was under siege.

She saw Fu Sheng die at the hands of his own people. She saw Consort Mei and Fu Xiuyi tied up to the city gate tower. She saw the two of them die with their hearts pierced by ten thousand arrows. She saw the palace that she had hated for her entire life be razed to the ground and burnt to ashes. At that moment, her restless soul was finally at peace.

With the red string broken, she let go of the hatred. Therefore, time suddenly reversed. Pei Lang sacrificed his life to give her a new life.

Seeing that Shen Miao was silent, Xie Jingxing frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Miao came back to her senses and looked at him without saying anything.

She was a little excited. In her previous life, she had nothing to do with Xie Jingxing. Why was it that in this life, they were tied together by a strange combination of circumstances and could not be separated? It turned out that they were actually related in her previous life. Back then, Xie Jingxing owed her a wish. He kept his promise and personally killed Fu Xiuyi to avenge her.

She asked softly, “Xie Jingxing, do you have any wishes?”

Xie Jingxing glanced at her. “Why? Do you want to fulfill my wishes for me?”

“Tell me one of your wishes.” She said seriously, “As long as I can fulfill it, I will do my best.”

Her expression was so serious that Xie Jingxing was in a daze for a moment. A moment later, he said with a faint smile, “Sure.” He leaned closer to Shen Miao’s ear and whispered, “My wish… you can definitely fulfill it.”

Shen Miao asked, “What is it?”

“Give me a child,” he said casually.

Shen Miao looked at him steadily for a while. Xie Jingxing rubbed his nose and was about to speak when he heard Shen Miao answer, “Sure.”

Xie Jingxing was stunned.

Shen Miao stared at him. There was a smile on her lips. It was different from before. It was not a reserved smile, but a sincere smile that came from the bottom of her heart, as if she was really happy.

Xie Jingxing subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead and said, “I think you are still sick.”

Shen Miao pushed his hand away and said, “Xie Jingxing, on the day of your birthday, you were frightened, right?”

Xie Jingxing let go. Seeing that her expression was calm and there was nothing wrong, he was a little relieved and asked, “I thought…” He did not continue. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Even now, when he recalled that scene, Xie Jingxing could not help but feel a lingering fear. Shen Miao was lying in a pool of blood, as if she was dead. His heart suddenly stopped beating. It was the kind of fright that he had never experienced even after going through so many wars.

He also had things he was afraid of, people he was afraid of losing, and weaknesses.

Shen Miao said, “Sorry for ruining your birthday.. How about I make it up to you today?”
