Qiao Yanjue pulled Xia Xibei into the restroom and told her to look in the mirror, “Use your qi and take a look.”
Although Xia Xibei was a bit puzzled and skeptical, she still did so.
Soon, her eyes widened, and when she got in front of the mirror, she stared at her own forehead.
There was really a lotus flower on her forehead, just as Qiao Yanjue said!
The white lotus flower was about the size of a stamp, and right in the middle of her forehead.
Looking at it this way, it was as if the lotus flower had been printed on, but there was no trace of pen or ink to be found.
The lotus flower was clear and half-open, and its petals were clear and lifelike.
“Crap!” Xia Xibei could not help but curse as she reached out to touch her forehead. “What is this thing?!”
If Xia Xibei didn’t have confidence in her own strength and wasn’t sure she hadn’t let anyone get close, she would have thought someone had imprinted it on her while she wasn’t looking!
She touched her forehead, but didn’t feel a bump.
The next second, she dispersed the qi that had coalesced and saw the lotus flower disappear.
She stared at her forehead, dumbfounded.
What the hell was this thing?!
This was too amazing!
When did she have such a thing on her forehead?
She had lived two lives, but she had never found anything different on her body.
So what was going on now?
Qiao Yanjue hugged her, knowing she was a little nervous, and gently coaxed her, “It’s okay, let’s check it out. We’ll know what’s going on.”
He led Xia Xibei back to the bed.
“You were using your qi when the lotus flower appeared. Usually there should be no problem.”
Xia Xibei was still a little confused, “But… What is this thing?”
Qiao Yanjue did not understand either, but he still replied, “I’ll look it up. I should be able to find out.”
Xia Xibei frowned and carefully raised a possibility, “Could this have something to do with my background?”
“Your background?” Qiao Yanjue was surprised.
“Right.” Xia Xibei nodded, her expression a bit downcast. “Have I ever told you about my birth?”
“No,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head. “But I know.”
He had looked into Xia Xibei’s story before, so of course he knew who her parents were.
Moreover, he helped Xia Xibei to break off the relationship with her father, Xia Shahai.
It was also from that time that he took a liking to her.
She was obviously a nice girl, so why were her parents so cold-hearted towards her?
However, he did not overthink it. If her parents did not love her, then he would take care of her.
Of course, he didn’t expect that things would develop so far.
“No,” Xia Xibei shook her head. “They’re not my real parents.”
“Hmm?!” Qiao Yanjue was shocked. “Not your real parents?!”
He didn’t know that.
Back then, when Dong Shulan brought Xia Xibei back, everyone thought the baby was her biological daughter. It didn’t occur to people that she had bought the baby.
Qiao Yanjue wouldn’t have dug so deep.
“I was bought by Dong Shulan.” Xia Xibei’s voice was a little cold. “She said she was pregnant back then in order to get Xia Shahai to come back to her. After that, she went abroad to pretend to be in labor, and then bought me.”
It was the first time Qiao Yanjue had heard such a statement and was immediately shocked.
“What about your real parents?”
“I don’t know,” Xia Xibei shook her head, “If I hadn’t accidentally overheard Dong Shulan and her mother talking before, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out why they didn’t like me!”
