A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 599 Ah Hong

“Linglong,” he said softly, “can’t we just have a proper talk?”

"Talk?" Linglong sneered, "What do you want me to talk to you about? You killed all my relatives, do you think there's anything left for us to talk about?"

“Yes,” he replied, “I killed them because they killed my father. If you were in their shoes, what would you do?”

She didn't say anything, after all, it was the truth.

“Linglong,” he continued, “I know you are very sad and you hate me, but I have to avenge my father. If you were in my shoes, I believe you would feel the same way.”

She remained silent, but it was clear that she was deeply conflicted.

“Linglong,” he continued, “can you tell me whose child is in your belly?”

Upon hearing this, Linglong frowned, then gave a cold laugh and said, "Why should I tell you? What does it have to do with you?"

“Of course there is,” Chao Bufan said. “Linglong, tell me, whose child is it?”

"What a joke! Of course the child in my belly is mine," Linglong said irritably, then her face turned cold and she said angrily, "Are you going to take the child in my belly too?"

Chao Bufan shook his head, then released his hand and said, "You misunderstood. I just want to know who the child's father is."

"Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are?" Linglong roared.

Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile, then took out the jade pendant and said, "Linglong, do you know? If it weren't for this jade pendant, I might have died that time, and I wouldn't be here today. Before I died, my father used this jade pendant to give me a second chance at life. However, it took me to HX, three thousand one hundred years in the future. It made me instantly travel to the future. For the past six months, I've been thinking about you, my father, and my three senior brothers every moment. Fortunately, heaven was kind to me and gave me the chance to travel back. But what I never expected was that my father would leave me." As he spoke, Chao Bufan glanced at Linglong and continued, "I know you won't believe anything I say now."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a small white ball of light immediately appeared in his hand. He continued, "This contains everything I have experienced over the past six months. I will show it to you now."

After saying that, he casually pushed the white ball of light into Linglong's mind with a "whoosh." Linglong trembled and then frowned.

“Linglong,” Chao Bufan said, “I know you won’t forgive me, and I didn’t expect you to. But I hope you can understand that I still love you. If you don’t want to tell me who the father of the child in your belly is, I won’t force you…”

As he spoke, he walked to the table in the middle of the room, took out several gold bars and some jewelry, and placed them on the table. He said, "I'm going back to HX three thousand one hundred years from now tomorrow. There are many things I need to do there. This is all I can do right now. If you need anything, go find my three senior brothers. They will help you. Take care of yourself!"

Chao Bufan turned around and walked out, but he didn't see that at this moment, Linglong's eyes were already filled with tears. He walked to the door, grabbed the door jamb with both hands, but suddenly stopped, as if he still had something to say. But after hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed, opened the door and left.

Behind her, Linglong watched his departing figure with tears in her eyes. Suddenly, she rushed out the door, but instead of chasing after him, she covered her mouth with her hand, squatted on the ground, and began to sob bitterly.

After leaving Tiandu City, Chao Bufan summoned Baihe and the others with a thought. He said, "Baihe, Linglong is pregnant now. I heard from Senior Brother that the child might be mine."

"what?"

Baihe and the others were all startled. Tang Qianqian asked in surprise, "Bufan, do you have a child?"

Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not sure if the child in her belly is mine."

“Then go ask her!” Lily said.

“I asked,” Chao Bufan said with a wry smile, “but she wouldn’t tell me. I don’t know what to do now.”

Although Baihe and the others had never met Linglong, they all knew that Linglong was the woman Chao Bufan had deeply loved in the past, and the woman for whom he was willing to drink that cup of poisoned wine. None of them had any complaints, after all, that was all in the past.

“Unbelievable, I never expected that you had such a romantic entanglement that you could never settle,” Baihe said with a slight smile. “How about this, let’s go talk to Miss Linglong. If the child in her belly is really yours, then it is our child. I don’t want you to have any regrets in the future.”

“Lily,” Chao Bufan’s heart warmed, and he asked softly, “Aren’t you angry with me?”

“Silly boy,” Lily laughed, “How could we blame you? After all, that was in the past. Besides, you’re called Chao Bufan now, not Tianyue anymore. If the child really is yours, we’d be overjoyed!”

“Yes, Bufan,” Tang Qianqian said, “Actually, we know in our hearts that you still love this Linglong girl. We’ve already discussed it, and if she’s willing to come with us, we’re all willing to accept her. Let us go and talk to her!”

"Qianqian," Chao Bufan's eyes were a little moist. He quickly put his arms around Tang Qianqian and Baihe and said, "Thank you."

“Alright, alright,” Lily said, “Give us Linglong’s address! We’ll go talk to her now. We also want to see who this woman you’ve been thinking about day and night really is!”

After telling Baihe and the others the address of Linglong, Chao Bufan returned to Dagu Village alone.

At this moment, Tang Gun, Yuan Qiu, and Ma Sanpao were enjoying drinks at the Da Gu Restaurant. However, a woman was sitting next to Tang Gun. This woman was none other than Ah Hong.

As Chao Bufan entered the Da Gu Restaurant, Yuan Qiu, who was sitting at the entrance, quickly stood up and waved: "Tian Yue, over here."

Chao Bufan glanced over and was slightly startled when he saw that the woman named Ah Hong was also there. But he quickly understood, smiled slightly, and walked over.

After sitting down, Chao Bufan feigned surprise and said, "Oh, isn't this Miss Ah Hong? Has the sun risen in the west today?"

Ah Hong laughed and said, "What? Can't the sun rise in the west?"

Chao Bufan was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that Ah Hong would ask a question in return. He laughed and said, "Yes, you are really capable. But I'm just wondering, you never give us brothers a good look when you see us in the past, but today you are chatting and laughing with the three of them. This is really unexpected."
