Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1685 - 1682: They Turned Out to Be Mother and Daughter

Upon hearing Liu Shimei’s heartbreaking and eventful story, Xu Wendong felt as if an invisible force was crushing his heart.

In that moment.

A suffocating sensation washed over him, creating an almost unbearable illusion.

He understood that the bond between Liu Shimei and her husband, Zhang Jin, was as deep and unbreakable as a bottomless abyss.

They had once shared every aspect of life, creating their own cherished dreams and visions of happiness.

Therefore, Zhang Jin’s sudden disappearance was more than just the loss of a partner for Liu Shimei.

It was a cataclysm, like the sky and earth collapsing, ruthlessly shattering her once perfect and beautiful life, leaving only unending darkness and sorrow to dominate her existence.

He could also picture Liu Shimei, alone and pregnant, carrying her burden with weary steps into a cold, unfamiliar city where she didn't belong.

Especially during the arduous and agonizing process of childbirth, she could only rely on her own resilience and a sliver of hope for the future, struggling by herself in a sterile hospital room, enduring pain and fear beyond ordinary comprehension.

And after the child was born, for countless days and nights, she bore the immense responsibility of raising her child all on her own.

Whether it was the chaos of a crying infant in the dead of night or the helplessness and bewilderment during life's many challenges, she could only clench her teeth and endure in silence, traversing the thorny and difficult path of life step by step.

All of this, in pursuit of carving out her own destiny!

Xu Wendong instinctively held Liu Shimei tighter, pulling her into his embrace, as if offering a sliver of warmth and solace, hoping to alleviate the years of accumulated sadness in her heart.

His lips quivered slightly, and his voice, though soft, carried an immense weight of guilt and pity as he couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Shimei, you have endured so much!"

Liu Shimei lifted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a mix of tears and joy, casting a tender gaze upon Xu Wendong.

Deep within her eyes, emotions suppressed for years erupted like a dormant volcano, revealing the indescribable happiness and contentment she felt at that very moment.

"Even though I faced endless hardship, waiting for you has brought a sweetness that conquers the bitterness!"

Xu Wendong’s expression turned solemn; he nodded gravely, his gaze unwavering and fervent, as if silently making the most sacred promise in his heart.

He spoke with profound tenderness, "Sister Shimei, for the remainder of my life, I will devote myself entirely to making amends for all the regrets you have carried over the years."

Hearing this, Liu Shimei’s heart was overwhelmed with emotion; joy and gratitude surged like a powerful tide, causing tears to well up and spill over.

She rose on her tiptoes slightly, bestowing a gentle kiss upon Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong responded with unhesitating passion, his arms wrapped tightly around her, lost in the depths of their affection.

Until they were almost breathless, Xu Wendong slowly broke the kiss, an uncontrollable surge of longing and desire rising within him, eager to express eighteen years of pent-up yearning.

"Shall we go upstairs?" Liu Shimei’s cheeks were rosy, her eyes filled with tender affection as she gazed lovingly at Xu Wendong.

Her blushing face was akin to a ripe peach, fresh and radiant, emanating an alluring glow that stirred tender feelings and a desire to savor it gently.

Without the need for excessive words, the unspoken understanding between them had clicked; both could truly feel the intense emotions and desires surging within.

Xu Wendong felt his throat go dry, his mouth watering, his heart aching to pour out all the long-suppressed longing and profound affection onto her.

However, just as their passion was about to reach its zenith, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Xu Wendong, like a bolt of spiritual lightning.

His gaze froze abruptly, a subtle shadow of apprehension appearing: "Sister Shimei, is your daughter’s name Zhang Nian?"

Liu Shimei's beautiful eyes also registered a flicker of disbelief; she hesitated slightly before softly inquiring, "How did you know my daughter is named Zhang Nian?"

This brief exchange struck Xu Wendong like a thunderclap, shattering his mind.

He stood frozen on the spot, as if petrified, unable to move.

Simultaneously, the numerous questions that had long lingered in his heart now seemed like pieces of a puzzle, fitting together perfectly, bringing sudden enlightenment.

For instance, the inexplicably familiar feeling he experienced upon first seeing Zhang Nian.

Or the peculiar circumstance where his Face Reading technique failed to reveal her life's destiny.

Upon realizing she was Sister Shimei’s daughter, everything fell into place and was resolved with ease.

Although his encounter with Zhang Nian was their first meeting, with no prior connection in their lives.

But...

He shared an emotional entanglement with her mother!

Naturally.

This wasn't the most crucial detail.

The pivotal point was that Xu Wendong finally understood why Zhang Nian claimed to have seen his core.

Because...

Eighteen years prior, when he departed from Earth, he had paid a visit to Liu Shimei in Haicheng. She was heavily pregnant at that time.

It was also then he experienced his first intimate encounter with a pregnant woman.

Zhang Nian, blessed with an exceedingly rare Chaos Cold Ice Body, most likely perceived his core during that encounter...

Regaining his composure.

Xu Wendong, feeling quite embarrassed, recounted his acquaintance with Zhang Nian, including the subsequent dual cultivation event.

His intention was not to conceal anything from Liu Shimei.

Witnessing Liu Shimei’s astonished reaction, beads of cold sweat formed on Xu Wendong’s forehead. He swallowed involuntarily, saying, "Sister, I had no idea Nian Nian was your daughter. If I had known..."

Liu Shimei gazed at him, calmly inquiring, "If you had known, what would you have done?"

"If I had known... I would undoubtedly still have employed that method to save her." Xu Wendong lowered his head, filled with shame. Liu Shimei held a special place in his heart.

Had he been aware that Zhang Nian was her daughter, Xu Wendong would still have resorted to saving her in the same manner.

He absolutely could not bear to see Liu Shimei’s daughter face any misfortune.

After all.

This woman was truly too pitiable!

Liu Shimei offered a gentle smile, speaking softly, "Wendong, sister understands your character. There's no need for you to blame yourself in this matter."

Xu Wendong looked up at her, his gaze filled with complex emotions. "You truly don't mind?"

Liu Shimei let out a soft snort, her expression shifting to one of displeasure. "You heartless man, have you forgotten what I told you eighteen years ago?"
