Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 316 Restart

Rongyue looked at the three tombstones in front of her. Her reluctance to leave her grandmother... her regret for her mother and her guilt towards Gong Di... made her fall to her knees in front of them.

Mo Chen squatted down to support Rongyue's shaky body. Seeing her weeping with her face buried in her hands, his heart ached. He saw Rongyue's grief clearly, but he felt any words of comfort would be superfluous at this moment. How could a few words of comfort soothe the shock of losing all her loved ones at once? He could only accompany her in her pain, watching her suffer and feeling her pain.

Mo Chen held the crying Rongyue in his arms.

Li Xin looked at Rongyue. He didn't know how to comfort her. He even felt relieved when he saw her crying. He was really afraid that Rongyue couldn't bear this blow. Rongyue's life seemed to be trapped in a curse of gaining and losing. Who could experience this kind of torture repeatedly without feeling pain?

Li Xin felt uncomfortable in his heart and his eyes were sore. He walked away a few steps, lit a cigarette and looked at Rongyue silently.

“…It was all done by Xia Xiluo… right…” Rongyue looked up at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue, whose face was red and swollen from crying, but whose eyes were filled with hatred, and his heart sank. He nodded, "There is no definite evidence...but..."

Rongyue nodded and continued Mo Chen's words, "...But, these two fires are both directed at me. They want to burn not only me but also my loved ones...The only person who hates me this much...is Xia Xiluo..."

Rongyue looked up at the three tombstones in front of her. She had never hated someone so much before. The hatred of wanting to cut someone into pieces immediately kept churning in her mind.

"Xia Xiluo...I won't let you go again..."

After Rongyue finished speaking, her eyes turned red as if stained with blood. In just a moment, her head hurt, and most of the blood color in her eyes was driven away.

"Rongyue..." Mo Chen saw Rongyue holding her head with her hands up, looking painful. He held Rongyue carefully and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Rongyue blinked and saw Mo Chen clearly in front of her, then she stood up with the help of Mo Chen.

"Rongyue, I will make Xia Xiluo pay the price...you must believe me..." Mo Chen supported Rongyue.

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and found that the heartache on his face was gradually covered by apology. He lowered his head slightly, but his hand was holding her arm very tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave at any time.

"What have you done wrong... Do you also think now... that our love for each other is a mistake..."

"I didn't!" Mo Chen interrupted Rongyue and quickly shook his head, holding Rongyue tighter.

Rongyue could even feel Mo Chen trembling, and his grip was so strong that it hurt her a little.

"I'm just... I'm sorry that I didn't protect you and grandma and the others... I didn't expect her to be so cruel, Rongyue... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Mo Chen held Rongyue tightly in his arms, saying sorry over and over again...

Rongyue listened to Mo Chen's choked voice, and she raised her hand and stroked Mo Chen's back.

"Mo Chen, I..."

Rongyue sighed, "...I...am so tired now...too tired to have the energy to comfort you, and I don't want to say anything more, but...you are not wrong..."

"The ones who are wrong are those who want to kill us... I thought that as long as I was patient and evasive enough, no one would continue to provoke me... I was wrong..."

"You did nothing wrong, Rongyue. What did you do wrong? Xia Xiluo! I won't let her go!" Mo Chen pulled Rongyue away and looked at her firmly, as if he was swearing.

"Yes, they are wrong. But this is a matter between Xia Xiluo and me..."

Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's determined eyes and said, "Rongyue, leave this matter to me, don't..."

"From now on..." Rong Yue looked straight at Mo Chen and interrupted him, "Whoever stops me...whoever is an obstacle to me...I don't want anyone..."

When Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's eyes, his heart was instantly tightened. He understood the meaning of Rongyue's eyes. The "all" she mentioned also included him.

For the first time, Mo Chen felt a real sense of oppression and fear. He swallowed back what he wanted to say because he couldn't do anything that would cause him to lose Rongyue.

Li Xin frowned and looked at Rongyue. He felt that she was completely different the moment she stopped crying. Something that he couldn't see but could feel was quietly changing.

Li Xin could also feel Mo Chen's hesitation and uneasiness.

All this filled Li Xin's heart with doubts and worries.

"I'm going somewhere to meet someone. If you want to go with me, that's fine, but I want to talk to that person alone. You can't get in my way. If you can't do that, go home and wait for me."

Rongyue finished her words calmly while watching the scenery passing by outside the car window.

Li Xin turned around and looked at Mo Chen. Mo Chen looked at Li Xin, then turned to look at Rong Yue helplessly. He shook Rong Yue's hand, which he had been holding.

"You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. I'll accompany you. As long as you don't do anything that hurts yourself, I won't interfere with you."

Rongyue looked back at Mo Chen, who was smiling and serious. She stretched out her fingertips and brushed his face, gently stroking it. She hadn't looked at Mo Chen so calmly in a long time. Her eyes were no longer filled with the dirty mixture of black and red.

Mo Chen held Rong Yue's hand that was caressing his face and placed a kiss on her palm. "It's great that you can see me..."

Mo Chen felt that Rongyue's eyes seemed to have a trace of tenderness from the past, and then he saw her leaning towards him, and he felt a cool touch on her lips, but it seemed to be only a dragonfly skimming the water.

Mo Chen raised his hand and held the back of Rongyue's head, stopping her from leaving and letting the kiss remain on his lips. Then he couldn't wait to deepen the kiss. He missed Rongyue so much. He was exhausted from all the anxiety these days, wanting to find her but being afraid of bad news about her. Now she was safe and sound in front of him. He conveyed all his thoughts and worries to Rongyue through this kiss.

……

into the night.

Mo Chen and Li Xin followed Rong Yue to an old house.

Mo Chen and Li Xin observed this hidden private residence. It was obvious that it was very old. The furnishings in the courtyard and the decoration after entering the residence were very exquisite, even better than Grandma Jiang's courtyard house. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary family.

Mo Chen and Li Xin could see the confusion in each other's eyes, but what surprised them even more was that the people who came out to greet them were indeed respectful and polite to them, but they had a different kind of awe towards Rongyue, which was clearly revealed in the eyes of everyone who saw Rongyue when they passed by them.

It seems that everyone here is afraid of Rongyue.

"Please sit here for a while. I will take Miss Rongyue in to meet our great ancestor." The person who led them in said respectfully.

"Rongyue..." Mo Chen worriedly stopped Rongyue who was about to leave.

"Don't worry." Rongyue looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's calm and confident eyes, and hesitated to let go.

Mo Chen and Li Xin sat down and watched Rong Yue and others walk into the inner room.

"Rongyue's eyes are healed, and she escaped the fire... Is it related to this place..." Li Xin observed the mansion.

"Well, it seems so. I wonder who has become connected with Rongyue again." Mo Chen's fingers gently stroked the edge of the mahogany table beside him.

"Fortunately, what they have done so far is beneficial to Rongyue." Li Xin sighed and looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen frowned, "I hope so..."

Rongyue entered the inner room and saw the elderly woman she had met in the morning sitting in the main seat. There were also several elderly elders sitting opposite the woman. Behind the elderly elders, there were more or less young people who looked about the same age as Rongyue, or even younger boys and girls sitting behind them.

This kind of scene only occurs on Grandpa Mo Chen and Grandpa Li Xin’s birthdays.

While Rongyue was looking at these people, all eyes were on her.

"I thought you would come back, but not so soon..." The elderly woman looked at Rongyue, her tone still slow and steady, but the difference was that there was a sense of relief in her voice.

"Come and sit."

Rongyue walked calmly towards the elderly woman in the main seat.

Someone seemed to want to make way for Rongyue.

The elderly woman looked at Rongyue, then patted the chair next to her and said, "Come sit here."

Rongyue walked over to the woman and sat down.

The old woman looked at Rongyue and sighed, "Life is full of ups and downs. The more you see, the more you will see..."

The elderly woman looked at the silent Rongyue.

"Obsession will lead you down different paths, so don't let it blind you..."

"Let's talk about the family heir..." Rongyue looked at the elderly woman.

The old woman looked at Rongyue for a long time, and Rongyue's eyes did not flinch at all.

"Grand Ancestor..."

An older man spoke softly...

"You guys wait outside."

"Grand Ancestor! Please... think twice..." The voice was choked with sobs and reluctance.

The old woman smiled and looked at the people in front of her. "I have spent enough time thinking in my life... Now I want to think for myself..."

"Grandpa, we can't bear to leave you!" A young man's voice was filled with tears.

"Go, everyone, go out." The elderly woman also choked a little.

Almost everyone in the room burst into tears and reluctantly left the inner court.

"I think Yun Yi has already told you about the benefits of being the heir. So, you want to expand your power and avenge your loved ones... This is the time for a change of era for the Nangong family, and it's also God's will... I can't stop this destiny... But it's not just what you want... There are also so many responsibilities, restrictions, and even pain!"

"I'd like to hear the details." Rongyue looked at the elderly woman firmly.

"The Nangong family has gone through several generations of hardships, and we are the only branch left who survived by hiding our identities. As you can see, in addition to the few people who just sat here and took the lead, there are also hundreds of other Nangong clan members, big and small, who are attached to the family."

"It's not easy for us to survive in this world. It's also the result of the blood and tears of countless people. I don't want the Nangong family to decline because of hatred, but I said I was powerless to stop this destiny. My time is up."

"The people I want to eliminate are the ones who have been threatening you. My wishes do not conflict with the fate of the Nangong family. Do we have to wait until they grow stronger before murdering the Nangong family? Hide? How long are you going to hide? You have been hiding your identities for so long, but what you get in return is fighting, not the peace you want, right?" Rongyue looked at the old woman.

The old woman looked at Rongyue and sighed softly.

"I can no longer interfere with the fate of the Nangong family. But once you take over, the lives of everyone in the Nangong family will be entrusted to your hands. You must protect yourself and them well."

There was doubt in Rongyue's eyes.

"Their lives depend on you... and the price and pain you have to pay for them will be huge... You will understand later..." The old woman said and looked at Rongyue.

Rongyue frowned. The price...pain...

The old woman looked at Rongyue, and Rongyue just lowered her eyes for a moment, and her gaze became more determined.

Rongyue looked up at the elderly woman. "To face the loss of my loved ones and to protect the people I cherish, I need strength and power to control them. I only need to live in the present. As for the future..."

Rongyue looked at the elderly woman firmly and said, "I will overcome every difficulty..."
