Chapter 35: Her Karmic Retribution

Su Xiyan's heart raced, and she quickly looked at the email's content.

【Bai Xiaosheng: 20 years ago at Tongren Hospital in Jingdu, a baby girl wearing the Jade Ruyi in the picture was abducted by a woman seen on surveillance.】

But because the surveillance was outdated then, despite promptly investigating with all effort, they still found nothing.

【4】 Currently the only clue to finding the baby is the woman in the surveillance and this Jade Ruyi.

The only clue currently available to find the baby girl is the woman in the surveillance footage and this Jade Ruyi.

Su Xiyan had once gone to see Wang Mei, but by then she had already gone completely mad in the mental hospital, and her illness had destroyed her once lovely looks.

But even so, she could still faintly see Wang Mei's outline in that blurry surveillance.

Su Xiyan suddenly realized that the employer who had Bai Xiaosheng look for someone was very likely her biological parents.

This is literally like finding it without any effort after searching everywhere in vain!

But thinking of Bai Xiaosheng once saying with a regretful expression that the employer didn't have much time left, Su Xiyan's heart suddenly welled up with sadness.

But more than that, she felt joy and relief at the prospect of soon finding her biological parents; as long as she returned to their side, she believed her medical skills would surely be able to cure her biological mother.

After reading this email, she quickly skimmed past the urging emails and immediately replied to Bai Xiaosheng.

【Y: I have already found a clue to the baby.】

After sending that email, Su Xiyan felt both anticipation and anxiety; the wait made her restless, so she simply stood up and walked back to the cabinet, gazing at the Jade Ruyi that was exactly like hers.

Suddenly, Su Xiyan frowned,

But now the Jade Ruyi she needed for the recognition has been lost.

However, Su Xiyan soon laughed; with today's advanced technology, as long as she is biologically related, even without the Jade Ruyi for a paternity test, her identity can still be proven.

She just didn't know what connection her Jade Ruyi had with Yan Moci's.

This time, the email arrived quickly.

"Ding ding"

Hearing the email notification, Su Xiyan eagerly walked to the computer and opened the email.

But the content that met her eyes made her whole body instantly turn cold.

【Bai Xiaosheng: This commission is cancelled; please, according to the rules, immediately erase all related clues.】

Last time at the black market you drew the market's people; I need to find another base in Jingdu, and once I've settled I'll contact you again.】

Her identity had actually been taken over! Not knowing when Bai Xiaosheng would contact her next, and disregarding the rules, Su Xiyan pressed for an answer.

【Y: Who is the employer?】

【Bai Xiaosheng: Y, you should know the rules.】

【Y: Is the commission cancelled because the employer died or because the baby has been found?】

【Sorry, your email failed to send; the recipient's mailbox does not exist.】

Seeing the glaring red words pop up, Su Xiyan's breath caught and she lunged back against the chair, adjusting her breathing.

She took out her phone and dialed,

"Huazi, help me check: recently, has any prominent family in all of Jingdu found their lost daughter?"

Focus on those where the lady of the house is in poor health and whose daughter has been missing for twenty years.

And also check... "

Su Xiyan took a deep breath, tightly closed her eyes, and said: "Is there any noble lady of a high household who has recently passed away?"

Huazi, "No problem, boss! With such detailed information, I guarantee to complete the mission!"

After hanging up, Su Xiyan had no mind to look at the computer; after erasing all traces of computer use, she left and went home.

Just as she entered the room, she heard Yan Moci's lazy voice say, "Done shopping?"

Yan Moci, who had asked for a long time without getting a response, strangely lifted his head; seeing Su Xiyan's expression clearly off, he frowned and put down his tablet.

"What's going on?" Yan Moci asked softly.

"Just went to the study to buy something; could his computer still be giving her trouble?"

Su Xiyan shook her head, still silent.

Seeing Su Xiyan's silent demeanor, Yan Moci felt vexed and coaxed, "Didn't you find something you liked? I'll have Dongzi take you to Baihui to shop."

Su Xiyan shook her head again.

As Yan Moci's patience was about to run out, he suddenly heard Su Xiyan ask:

"Yan Moci, do you believe in karmic retribution? I took over someone else's identity to become your wife, and now my identity has also been taken over by someone else."

"This is probably what karmic retribution is."

As she said this, Su Xiyan lifted her head to look at Yan Moci; seeing her red-rimmed eyes and tears about to fall, Yan Moci's heart suddenly felt as if struck by a heavy boulder.

It was a dull pain, yet his heart beat rapidly.

He suddenly sat up, came to Su Xiyan's side, reached out and grasped her delicate, petite chin; with a little force, their eyes met.

Yan Moci lowered his voice, which was alluring and wanton yet revealed endless tenderness and indulgence: "Good girl, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Su Xiyan fought back the tears in her eyes, lightly biting her teeth, and merely shook her head,

"Nothing, nothing at all. Yan Moci, remember, you said it yourself."

"The Three-Month Agreement—once three months are up, you must definitely let me go."

This woman! She had only just recovered two days ago, and now she suddenly says such things to him!

How could she be so heartless toward him! Does she truly have not the slightest feeling for him! Can she not see his heart at all!

Must he give her his life before she is satisfied!

Yan Moci's gaze instantly turned sinister; he couldn't understand why this little girl before him was so fickle.

Clearly he had already been accommodating her like this, yet she still wantonly trampled on his sincerity.

Know that any woman outside who even gets a glance from him would be ecstatic to the point of madness.

Only Su Xiyan! From beginning to end, she makes him feel like a one-sided love joke.

In his fury, Yan Moci finally no longer wished to control his own emotions, watching her now filled with a sense of brokenness, as if her tear-streaked face wrote endless invitations, Yan Moci ultimately ignored the pity and reluctance in his heart, decided to let him sink, following his heart to do what he had always wanted to do.

The hand gripping her chin tightened suddenly, and the next second Yan Moci bluntly seized Su Xiyan's fragrant essence.

Yan Moci lowered his gaze to look at Su Xiyan's eyes widened in surprise, before she could react and struggle he reached out with his other hand and firmly grasped her nape, without hesitation deepening the kiss.

Su Xiyan never expected Yan Moci would suddenly kiss her; clearly she was now so lost and at a loss—how could he take advantage of her vulnerability at this moment!

But as Yan Moci's stern pine-and-cypress scent enveloped her completely, Su Xiyan felt as if she were drunk.

She needed someone to give her some warmth at this moment to ease her loneliness, and Yan Moci happened to be the person who made her not dislike him.

Su Xiyan discovered she did not dislike Yan Moci's kiss, and indeed the kiss even made her tremble all over.

Before Su Xiyan herself even realized it, she had already developed a fondness for Yan Moci.

And her recent sorrow, perhaps partly because she thought of the impending separation from Yan Moci.

Thinking of this, Su Xiyan decided to let herself sink, and she deepened the kiss.

If in the end she is destined to leave, then at least between her and Yan Moci she wishes to leave a beautiful memory.

Noticing Su Xiyan's initiative, Yan Moci was utterly stunned, he whispered with his lips against hers:

"Yan Yan, do you know what you're doing?"

"Hmm."

Su Xiyan's voice sounded like a kitten's.

Yan Moci's pupil color instantly deepened, his eyes as if a flash of fire passed through.
