Chapter 528: Chapter 528: You Are Our Family's Lucky Star_1

“Thankfully we didn’t blow our cover. Darling, your acting was actually pretty good.”

Hai Xiaotang, thinking about how she lay on the ground pretending to be dead, couldn’t help but laugh.

Huffily, she said, “I am being serious with you, not joking!”

Dongfang Yu kissed her forehead. “I’m serious too. Your acting and reaction were surprising indeed.”

“I haven’t any acting skills, I just followed Dongfang Hen’s subtle hint and played along. But how did you come to play dead?” Hai Xiaotang looked at him, puzzled.

Dongfang Yu smiled faintly, “As soon as the bullet hit me, I knew something was off. Plus, Dongfang Hen gave me a non-verbal cue, so I decided to take a gamble.”

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Hen had never intended to kill them.

Reminded of all this, Hai Xiaotang felt chills running down her spine.

“Thank God Dongfang Hen discovered Duanmu Qiong’s conspiracy first, otherwise wouldn’t we be dead by now?”

Dongfang Yu stared at Hai Xiaotang, deep in his thoughts.

Hai Xiaotang was puzzled: “What’s the matter? What are you thinking about?”

“I’m just thinking, you are the lucky star of our family.”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised, “Lucky star?”

Dongfang Yu laughed, “I thought that if I knew about our past life, I could avert the tragedy. But Duanmu Qiong’s intention to kill us was something totally unexpected. Dongfang Hen, a lawless and ruthless guy—if he had truly intended to kill us, we would have been dead even walking on the street. So, without you, we would have been indeed dead. And it would have been a tragedy inside our own family.”

Hai Xiaotang was startled, “You mean, because I reminded him that Duanmu Qiong was not his mother?”

“Yes. And not only that, it appears that you have a rather considerable influence on him. Anybody else could’ve told him, he might not have listened.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed, “Actually, I never suspected that Duanmu Qiong was not his real mother. At the time, she was trying to sow discord between us, so I tried to drive a wedge between her and her son. I genuinely believe that Duanmu Qiong is unworthy of being a mother—using Dongfang Hen as tool for revenge. So, I spitefully said they weren’t mother and son. I had not the slightest idea that they were indeed not related!”

Dongfang Yu laughed, “That’s why I said you are our lucky star! Your unintentional remarks have averted a big disaster. As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous wife. A good wife can change the destiny of a family.”

Hai Xiaotang blushed, embarrassed by his praise.

“Where am I so great? I didn’t do anything special.”

“No, you are very good…” Dongfang Yu said, in a serious tone, “Just by virtue of your love for me, for our home, you have done more than enough. Darling, thank you for loving me so much, for loving our home.”

Hai Xiaotang’s face reddened shyly, “You love me too.”

“Yes, I will always love you—” Dongfang Yu hugged her tightly, kissing her lips.

There were so many things he wanted to tell her, but he would rather kiss her, expressing his love directly.

His emotions were running high that night.

Maybe, allowing Hai Xiaotang to reincarnate wasn’t just to fulfill his wish, but to change the fate of everyone involved.

If could choose, he would have loved her dearly in their previous lives.

If he loved her at that time, she wouldn’t have not died, and he wouldn’t have fallen for Lin Xinxin.

There would have been no chance for Dongfang Hen to exploit Lin Xinxin and destroy their family.

Perhaps, in their previous life, Hai Xiaotang could have helped them avoid the tragedy.
