People in Qin Dynasty: Opening the treasure chest, I took off!

Chapter 31 Purple Orchid Pavilion Gathering

That was a woman he saved when he was in Handan.

She was seriously injured at the time, and he helped her heal her wounds.

He left Handan and never saw her again.

"Where is she now?" Xia Bing asked.

"She's just outside the city," Tian said. "She's waiting for you."

Xia Bing looked at Tian Yan, her feelings a mix of emotions.

He never expected that the ball would come knocking on his door.

What I didn't expect was that she also had a child with her.

"This child..." He looked at the baby in Tian Yan's arms.

"This is my younger sister," Tian Yan said. "Her name is Xia Yan."

"What?!" Xia Bing suddenly stood up. "What did you say?"

"Xia Yan is my younger sister," Tian Yan repeated. "My mother named her Xia Yan."

Xia Bing stood there, stunned.

Xia Yan...

Li Wu's daughter, also named Xia Yan?

This...this is too much of a coincidence!

"Xia Bing." Tian Yan looked at him. "My mother said that you chose this name."

"You... what did you say?" Xia Bing stammered, "This name... I chose it?"

"Yes." Tian Yan nodded. "My mother said she was already pregnant when you left Handan."

"She gave birth to a son for you."

Xia Bing felt her mind go blank.

He has a son?

Is it in Handan?

"Then...then this Xia Yan..." He looked at the baby in Tian Yan's arms.

"Is that my son?"

"Yes." Tian Yan nodded. "He's almost a year old."

Xia Bing was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected that Li Wu would become pregnant after he left Handan.

Even more unexpectedly, she actually gave birth to the child.

They even traveled all the way to South Korea to find them.

"Where...where is she?" Xia Bing asked.

"She's just outside the city," Tian Yan said. "Do you want to see her?"

"Yes, I'll see him." Xia Bing nodded. "Of course I'll see him."

He stood up and walked towards the door.

Jingni, Xuenu, Zinu, and Yanlingji were all looking at him.

Their expressions were all different.

"Xia Bing," Jing Ni called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Jing Ni shook her head. "Go ahead."

"Waiting for your message."

Xia Bing nodded and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

The five women watched his departing figure and fell silent.

……

(The morning in Xinzheng City is bustling with activity.)

(Some things happen in a way that surprises everyone.)

outside the city.

Xia Bing strode out of the city gate and immediately spotted that familiar figure.

Li Wu stood by the roadside, dressed in black with her long hair flowing down her shoulders.

Her face was somewhat pale, but her eyes remained bright.

Upon seeing Xia Bing, her body trembled slightly.

"You...have come."

"I'm here." Xia Bing walked up to her. "Li Wu, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see." Li Wu looked at him, her eyes a little red. "Are you... alright?"

"Not bad," Xia Bing nodded. "How about you?"

"I'm fine too."

The two looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Um..." Xia Bing began, "Is what Tian Yan said true?"

"What?"

"Xia Yan...is he my son?"

Li Wu fell silent.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Yes," she whispered, "it's yours."

Xia Bing took a deep breath.

Although he had expected it, he was still somewhat shocked to hear the exact answer.

"Why...why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I don't know where you are," Li Wu whispered, "and... I'm afraid you won't recognize me."

"You don't acknowledge him?" Xia Bing frowned. "This is my son, how could I not acknowledge him?"

"But..." Li Wu raised her head, "I was just an assassin for the Luo Wang organization back then."

"You are a prince of the Great Qin."

"We... are not a good match."

Xia Bing looked at her speechlessly.

"Li Wu, are you overthinking this?"

"I……"

"When have I ever cared about social status?" Xia Bing said. "You're the person I saved, you gave birth to my son, that's a fact."

"I don't care about anything else."

Li Wu looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Xia Bing..."

"Stop crying." Xia Bing sighed. "Why are you crying? I didn't say I didn't acknowledge it."

"But...but I..." Li Wu choked out, "I'm afraid you won't want us anymore..."

"Silly." Xia Bing reached out and gently wiped away her tears. "How could I abandon you?"

"Come on, take me to see my son."

Li Wu nodded and led him toward the carriage by the roadside.

The sound of a baby crying could be heard from inside the carriage.

Xia Bing lifted the carriage curtain and saw a woman holding a small baby.

The baby was about one year old, with delicate features and big, watery eyes.

"This is... Xia Yan?" Xia Bing asked.

"Yes." Li Wu nodded. "This is Tian Yan's mother, her name is A Qing."

Aqing, holding the baby, nodded to Xia Bing.

"Young master."

"Aqing." Xia Bing nodded. "Thank you for taking care of them."

"It's not hard work," Aqing said. "Sister Liwu is very kind to me."

Xia Bing took the baby from A Qing's arms and held it carefully in her arms.

The baby looked at him and blinked its big eyes.

"This is my son..." Xia Bing murmured.

He carefully examined the baby's features.

There is indeed a resemblance between them in their eyes and brows.

"Xia Yan..." he called softly, "Call me Father."

The baby was babbling, but it was unclear what it was saying.

But his hand was tightly gripping Xia Bing's clothes.

"He seems... to acknowledge me." Xia Bing was somewhat surprised.

"He thinks about you every day," Li Wu whispered beside him. "I often tell him that your father is a very capable person."

"When he grows up, he'll go find his father."

Xia Bing's heart softened.

"Leaving the dance..."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"
