The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 551: Meeting Lian Xichen

Han Jing lowered her eyelids. If... if it was like she once thought, that they could get through Xiao Xue’s difficult times and accompany Xiao Xue as she grew up, then Su Yu would definitely be very happy! But...

Han Jing couldn’t find any words to respond. The moment Xiao Xue heard someone mention her father, she forgot about eating and opened her mouth to speak. However, Lan Ling quickly covered her mouth, swiftly grabbed a delicate peach blossom cake, and stuffed it into her small mouth, awkwardly explaining to Qin Shutong, "Well, Mr. Qin, we should hurry to meet Brother Xichen. I haven’t seen him for many years and don’t know how he’s doing now?"

Qin Shutong, seeing that they seemed unwilling to discuss the topic, tactfully didn’t press further and smiled, "Alright then, I already told Xichen earlier this morning that we’ll be visiting him in the afternoon. He must be waiting by now."

During the morning court session, he specifically kept Lian Xichen behind to inform him that he’d be visiting in the afternoon with someone who might be related to someone from the past.

However, he was somewhat puzzled that Lian Xichen showed no special reaction after hearing this and simply nodded, stating that he understood.

...

Qin Shutong couldn’t help but sigh; after all these years, Xichen still had the same disposition.

However, once he sees the person, Qin Shutong couldn’t believe he would remain indifferent.

Qin Shutong led the group to the Marquis Yingwei Mansion, where Lian Xichen was already waiting for them. Qin Shutong had told Lian Xichen beforehand not to disclose his identity, so no one in the mansion recognized him.

Lian Xichen waited in the living room, and when Qin Shutong cheerfully led the group inside, Lian Xichen turned around, his gaze passing over the others and landing squarely on Han Jing, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

Facing that sharp gaze, Han Jing kept a calm exterior but couldn’t help thinking, "Oh shit!"

Could he really have transferred all the resentment of Fengxi’s death for Han Litong onto her? She was the most innocent here, wasn’t she? Why was he looking at her like that? She hadn’t even spoken yet, and he was already trying to intimidate her?

"Brother Xichen, I’m Lan Ling. Do you still remember me?" Fortunately, Lan Ling, the lively one, jumped in front of Han Jing, blocking that intense gaze, and greeted Lian Xichen with a cheerful smile.

Only then did Lian Xichen withdraw his sharp gaze from Han Jing, giving Lan Ling a slight nod, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "It’s been many years, but you still look the same as before!"

Lan Ling almost bent over from the force of the pat, grimacing, "Brother Xichen, you still love to bully me like you used to!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lan Ling then laughed and proceeded to introduce them to Lian Xichen, "Brother Xichen, let me introduce you."

He pointed at Han Jing and said, "This is Han Jing, our leader’s little wife."

Han Jing silently rolled her eyes at him.

"This is An Chuxue, our good sister."

Then he picked up Xiao Xue, chuckling, "Brother Xichen, no introduction is needed for this one. You can surely tell who she is; her name is Xiao Xue."

Lian Xichen nodded casually to everyone but couldn’t resist extending a hand toward Xiao Xue, who was looking at him with her wide, round eyes, "Would you like a hug from uncle?"

Universally friendly Xiao Xue, without any hesitation, stretched out her arms and smoothly ended up in Lian Xichen’s embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said adorably, "Okay."
