Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1920 - 1909: Leaving by Choice

Watching Feihong approach, Chen Min takes a step forward and blocks her path."Xiao Senior Sister, are you going to stop me?"

Feihong laughs gently, her smile blooming like the most alluring rose, yet the coldness in her eyes is enough to freeze all things.

Chen Min shakes her head, "Give him some time."

This is the only thing Chen Min can do to buy time for Ning Fan; if she interferes, it will certainly cause a conflict between the Orthodox Unity Sect and Red Leaf Pavilion.

The ten Orthodox sects have existed for thousands of years, and the intimacy when they were first founded is long gone.

Although maintaining a semblance of harmony, for the title of the number one rightful Way, they scheme and plot, ally and betray… secretly the sects use all means possible.

Chen Min does not wish to escalate the conflict, nor do she have the authority to represent her sect.

Interfering in the internal affairs of other sects has always been a major taboo.

Feihong's beautiful eyes seriously scrutinized Chen Min for a moment, then stopped her steps, leaving time for the couple who were about to part.

This is Xiao Xue. If it were any other sect, Feihong would not give any face and would certainly forcefully take Baby Hai away.

"Ning Fan, how could you..."

At a loss for words, Baby Hai said again, "Are you the same as Senior Sister?"

"Almost."

Now was not the time to talk, Ning Fan said seriously, "As long as I'm here, they won't take you away. No one can force you."

"No... it's not like that, no one is forcing me."

Seeing Baby Hai's words get stuck, Ning Fan's face sank; the thing he feared most had finally happened.

Temptation! No one can resist the allure of cultivation.

Power, youth, longevity...

Anything casually presented by cultivators can ignite a fervent pursuit among mortals.

Unable to believe it, Ning Fan bitterly murmured, "So it turns out you're willing!"

"Yes."

Baby Hai couldn't understand Ning Fan's feelings; she had her own plans.

If love can last, then why care about separation morning and night.

Baby Hai is greedy; she doesn't want only a lifetime with Ning Fan.

Now that the opportunity is here, why not pursue eternal companionship.

The current separation is only temporary and brief; three to five years later, they can be together forever, living a life envying the mandarin ducks, not the immortals.

If there were no outsiders present, Baby Hai would surely share her plan.

At the moment, she can only plead, "Ning Fan, promise me. Will you wait for me?"

"Of course I'd wait. But..."

But there's a chasm between immortals and mortals, a separation as vast as heaven and earth.

This departure of Baby Hai is likely their last meeting.

Even if everything is as Chen Min described, when the moment of emotion arrives, Baby Hai will return to this world.

But that day might be her final farewell to the mortal realm.

Ning Fan couldn't voice his thoughts but said bitterly, "If you wish to cultivate, I can teach you. There's no need to go to the Earth Immortal Realm."

At this moment, a cold snort came, "Such audacious talk!"

Just as Feihong was about to say something, she felt a sudden chill in her heart.

Looking forward, she saw a pair of eyes like deep, icy pools, emitting a coldness that seemed to freeze everything.

"How can a mortal's gaze shake my spirit? This is impossible!"

Though Ning Fan is already on the Path of Celestial, in Feihong's eyes,

he is only someone who gained a legacy by chance, forced to condense a Golden Core with a Spirit Pill, not a true cultivator.

Feihong doesn't believe there are mortals on Earth who can achieve enlightenment through cultivation.

This is why she looks down on Ning Fan, a lucky boy who dares imagine teaching and imparting the Tao. Is it not audacious talk?

But now...

In Ning Fan's sharp gaze, Feihong's dao heart wavered.

In the past, if anyone tried to use eye contact tactics before her, she would deliver a backhand slap without a second thought.

But now Feihong merely impatiently urged, "Baobao, time's up."

Baby Hai glanced back, then turned again to look at Ning Fan.

"Baobao, do you really not want to go with me?"

Before arriving, Ning Fan imagined countless possibilities, but never thought Baby Hai would be determined to go to the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Of course I want to go with you."

As she spoke, Baby Hai's face reddened slightly, then she bravely embraced Ning Fan.

Watching this, Feihong's face turned icy, her eyes emitting chills.

Chen Min felt an inexplicable ache, turning her head to the side.

"Then why not leave?"

As he spoke, Ning Fan turned to Feihong, coldly saying, "Is it because of that woman's threat?"

"No. Senior Sister treats me well."

There was another sentence Baby Hai didn't say; she could tell Feihong genuinely valued her and surely wouldn't let her leave.

Just like the recent rain of flowers, if Ning Fan insisted on taking her away, there was only one possible outcome.

"Fan Fan, can you promise me one thing?"

"Say it."

Baby Hai gently pleaded, "Promise not to resort to violence, okay?"

"I..."

"Promise me, okay?"

Looking at Baobao's pleading eyes, Ning Fan lowered his head in pain, and after a long struggle made a difficult decision, "I promise you."

"Then can you wait for me?"

Having spoken, Baby Hai looked at Ning Fan with trembling eyes, fearing to find doubt or hesitation.

Ning Fan softly replied, "Ten years, a hundred years, even a thousand. No matter how long, I will wait for you."

Baby Hai shyly said, "It actually won't take that long. I'll focus on cultivating, aiming to return within five years."

"Why is this?"

Ning Fan was confused; he always thought Baby Hai was determined to pursue the Heavenly Dao.

But now, it seems that's not the case.

"It's a secret."

Baby Hai cutely stuck out her tongue; how could she say she wished to be with Ning Fan eternally?

"Remember. You must wait for me."

Baby Hai smiled coyly, turning her head as teardrops she held back finally scattered through the air.

Watching Baby Hai leave, Ning Fan felt heartbroken, more than ever hating his own uselessness.

If he were stronger, even if Baby Hai refused, Ning Fan would forcibly take her away.

But facing just Feihong, Ning Fan was far outmatched.

Both at the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was still learning to walk while the other was soaring high.

The gap between them cannot be bridged by courage or a willingness to die.

"Ning Fan, you..."

Seeing Ning Fan's painful expression, unsure how to comfort him, Chen Min finally slowly said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"Take care of me?"

Baby Hai's puzzled eyes turned to Chen Min, contemplating her relationship with Ning Fan.

Feihong, holding back anger, coldly said, "Xiao Senior Sister, there's no need to trouble yourself. Baobao is our disciple at Red Leaf Pavilion, we'll naturally take care of her."

Chen Min frowned but said nothing.
