Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



Chu Qi was momentarily stunned. Ji'er's beautiful smile seemed to be right in front of him.

However, she was gone. She was far away from him, determined never to let him find her.

How could she be so cruel?

Why did she not want him?

They were husband and wife.

He did not react to any of Qi Heng's accusations.

It was as if he could not feel the pain from the punch to his face.

His dark eyes closed slightly, his face looking extremely morose.

When Qi Heng saw him behaving like this, it enraged him further.

"She loves you so much, but you can't even protect her properly. You coward!"

Chu Qi was unmoved by his insults.

He was consumed by thoughts and memories of Ji'er. Anything else other than her had nothing to do with him.

Just as Qi Heng was about to give him another punch, Long Yin stopped him.

"That's enough, Qi Heng!"

Qi Heng had ignored Long Yin at the peak of his anger just now, but he did not dare go against Long Yin a second time.

He put his hand down and retreated to this side, but he was still furious.

There was nothing he could do but give Ji'er his blessing when she chose Chu Qi back then.

However, he never thought that something like this could happen in just a few short days.

How could an entire person disappear under Chu Qi's nose without him noticing?

He had even allowed those with ulterior motives to spout nonsense in front of her. What a useless person he was!

If Qi Heng had known this sooner, he would never have let her go and stopped all this from happening.

Long Yin had calmed down by now and had found out the details about everything that had transpired from Qing He.

He was shocked to find out Ji'er had run away, but when he heard about what happened when Ji'er was born, all that was left in his heart was the pain he felt for her.

Long Yin was also angry at Chu Qi for not doing a better job of looking out for Ji'er, but how could Chu Qi be blamed for this?

Chu Qi loved Ji'er immensely and cherished Ji'er more than any of them did. Now that Ji'er was gone, his heartbreak must be even more intense than any of theirs.

The anger in Long Yin subsided. He thought deeply about this and helped Chu Qi up by the arm as he said, "I know that you're more anxious than any of us, Chu Qi, but you can't give up on yourself just because you failed to find her. Go and clean yourself up and return to the study in half an hour. We'll discuss how best to find Ji'er. Even though she is avoiding us on purpose, I believe we'll be able to find clues to her whereabouts if we conduct a better search. If we can't find her here, we'll just expand the search zone."

Chu Qi's eyelashes fluttered. He finally sobered up somewhat.

For the first time, he realized who was standing in front of him.

Chu Qi paused a moment before replying in a low and dejected voice, "I'm sorry, Long Yin. I was the one who lost Ji'er…"

Long Yin sighed and patted his shoulder. "You're not to blame for this. Besides, it's not the best time to point fingers. The only thing we should focus on is how to get Ji'er back." It was fortunate that Ji'er had learned martial arts skills since she was young. She was good at it and had her brains about her. Traveling alone would not be too dangerous for her.

Chu Qi mumbled, "We won't be able to find her. Ji'er is avoiding us on purpose."

Long Yin was about to say something when he saw tears glimmering in Chu Qi's eyes.

Even though it was a quick flash, Long Yin was sure he spotted it.

Long Yin was taken aback. A man would never allow himself to cry easily, especially someone like Chu Qi, who was a loner. Despite that, he was actually crying over Ji'er. This proved that Ji'er's departure was a huge blow to him.

He gave a long sigh and softened his tone. "That's not true. It all depends on how determined we are. There are so many of us here. I don't believe that we can't find Ji'er."
