Chapter 244: The Past

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At such a historical moment, Qin Yu didn’t seem too thrilled.

As she knew her real objective to be the man standing in front of her.

Qin Yu smiled faintly and asked, “How old were you when you achieved so?”

“31 years old,” Qi Heng said indifferently. “You are better than me.”

“It’s just luck.” Qin Yu shook her head.

“Luck comes from abilities,” Qi Heng said with a faint smile.

The two chatted casually. Qin Yu wondered if Qi Heng knew her real identity.

If Qi Heng was really a member of the organization, did he know the cause of her parents’ death?

Qin Yu stopped and said coldly: “After seeing Mr. Qi today, I realized that you and Miss Tang Rou don’t look very similar.”

After saying this, Qin Yu looked up at Qi Heng and observed his expression.

Qi Heng’s expression froze for a moment. After a while, he turned to Qin Yu and said with a cold tone, “I also didn’t expect that Ms. Qin wasn’t as stupid as the rumors said.”

Qin Yu laughed coldly, “If it wasn’t for you two, I wouldn’t have had to pretend to be crazy and act stupid for more than ten years. I wouldn’t have lost my parents!”

Qi Heng pursed his lips, his expression was dark. Now that their identities were revealed, Qi Heng knew that Qin Yu had definitely found out his true identity. Even Tang Rou was very likely in their hands.

“You went through so much trouble just to find me?” Qi Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You’re really just like her, a stubborn girl.”

“Who?” Qin Yu’s face changed.

“Your mother, Zhu Yi.” Qi Heng turned his head and looked at the stone tablet in front of him. “The incense wood you used in the second round of the competition was probably inspired by your mother, right?”

Qin Yu gritted her teeth, her emotions on the verge of losing control. “How do you know? Who are you? How do you know my mother?”

Qi Heng lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Who am I? Who Am I? I don’t know who I am either. From the day your mother left me, I lost myself.”

Qin Yu widened her eyes in shock and was a little confused. She could not understand what Qi Heng was saying at all.

Qi Heng sighed. “Since you’ve found me, I won’t hide it from you. After all, you’re her daughter. I’ve owed her all these years.”

“It doesn’t matter what my real name is. I used to live on Mount Bairen. My father was a carpenter, and my mother a seamstress. You should know Mount Bairen, right? It’s not far from Qinghe Gang. It was that day, I met your mother.”

Qi Heng’s eyes were a little dazed, as if he was immersed in memories.

“At that time, I was about to cut a tree down when Zhu Yi suddenly jumped out and stopped me. She said that it could be used as a spice and took a very long time to grow. It was very precious. I didn’t understand at the time. It didn’t smell good at all. How could there be a fragrance? Zhu Yi told me to see her again in three days, she’d prove to me.”

Qin Yu widened her eyes in surprise. She did not expect that the ordinary fragrant wood was the reason why her mother and the man in front of her met.

“Three days later, I went over. As expected, your mother gave me a small bottle of essential oil. When I opened it, I smelled the most fragrant smell I had ever smelled in my life. Later on, I made many perfumes, but the fragrance of the Fragrant Wood was still the most beautiful smell in my memory. Just like Zhu Yi then, I did not dare look at her for her immense beauty.”

Qin Yu swayed her body, barely maintaining her balance. As she listened to the events of her mother’s youth, a strong sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

“Later on... I became obsessed with various kinds of smells. I often went to the back of the mountain with your mother to search for spices. We discovered many plants that could be used as spices together. It could be said that Zhu Yi was my mentor. I also slowly fell in love with Zhu Yi. But... Zhu Yi doesn’t love me. I know very well for a fact.”

“Perhaps I was too lowly for her. After all, she is the underworld princess, and I am only the son of a carpenter. So I decided to step into the world and work my way up. When I make a name for myself, I will come back. Maybe when the time comes, she will look at me differently.”

“After that, I became a disciple of the perfumer. I went through a lot of hardships and finally learned something. I also had some savings. Although I’m still far from making a name for myself, I missed Zhu Yi too much. I went back secretly to see her. And that was when I knew she’d fallen in love with a man named Qin Sheng.”

Even though so many years had passed, Qi Heng’s tone was still a little bitter when he talked about the past.

“Her face showed the sweetness and happiness that only a woman in love would have. She pulled me aside and told me how she much liked that man. She treated me as her childhood friend, but she didn’t know how I felt for her... I was filled with hatred towards Qin Sheng.. I hated him for stealing Zhu Yi before I could.”
