Chapter 189: Telling The Truth (2)
After Chen Ying was released from the hospital, they went back home.
Yuan Ning will be staying with them, which was greatly agreed upon by the girls.
"Mom, you should take a rest in your room," Aria said, concern evident in her voice.
"Haha, don't worry the doctor said that I was fine." Chen Ying wanted to reassure her daughters.
She understood their concern for her well-being, but she didn't want them to feel overwhelmed by it.
Chen Ying had always been the strong one in the family, and she intended to maintain that role.
But Aria and Leng Zhiqing weren't having any of it. They were determined to take care of their mother, especially after what she had been through.
"Mom, you've always been there for us. Now it's our turn to be there for you," Leng Zhiqing said, her voice filled with determination.
Aria nodded in agreement, adding, "You just left the hospital, so don't go to work for a couple of days."
"But what about the company?, Leng Zhiqing didn't you have your college exams coming up?" Chen Ying questioned her, concern obvious in her eyes.
Leng Zhiqing smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I have already finished studying for my exams. I've been preparing for them for months now so I'm free, ...unlike someone else. "
Her eyes locked onto Chen Tian, who couldn't help but break into a worried smile.
"Mom, you need to give your body time to heal and recover. I'll take care of everything inside the company, so don't worry about a thing." Aria assured her mother.
Chen Ying looked at them with gratitude and nodded, realizing that her daughters were right and that she needed to prioritize her health.
"Fine, girls, I'll listen to you and rest for a few days. Thank you for taking care of everything for me. I'm grateful to have such responsible daughters like you." With a smile, Aria helped her mother up the stairs and into her room, ensuring she was comfortable before quietly closing the door.
She returned to the living room, where she found her younger sister, Leng Zhiqing looking at Chen Tian as if she was going to eat him alive.
Aria could sense the tension in the room as she approached her sister and Chen Tian.
Leng Zhiqing's narrowed eyes and clenched fists made it clear that she was not happy with Chen Tian.
Yuan Ning and Emilia looked on anxiously, trying to gauge the situation.
Emilia took a deep breath, aware that it was now Chen Tian's turn to explain everything to both of them.
She turned to Yuan Ning with a smile on her face, took the book from her hand, and wrote something on it.
"Yuan Ning, let's go. I will help you prepare your new room." Emilia wanted to take Yuan Ning away from the tension-filled atmosphere and give Chen Tian and the girls some privacy to sort out their issues.
Yuan Ning nodded.
She didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly changed, but she followed Emilia to her new room.
As they walked away, Emilia gave Chen Tian a reassuring smile, silently communicating her support.
Chen Tian took a deep breath and turned towards the girls.
With a determined look in his eyes, he spoke, "Follow me. We need to have an honest conversation and address the issues that have been causing tension between us."
The girls exchanged glances before nodding and following Chen Tian to a more private area where they could talk openly and honestly.
Chen Tian headed to his room, and the girls followed closely behind.
As they entered the room, Chen Tian's nerves began to settle, knowing that this was a necessary step.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Tian closed the door behind them and created a barrier around the room with his spiritual Qi, so no sound could escape.
The barrier wasn't hidden, as Chen Tian didn't want to hide it, so the girls were able to see a golden ball surrounding the room like a protective shield.
"What!!"
"Eh?!"
"H-How did you do that?" Aria exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment.
The girls were immediately startled by the sudden barrier and turned to Chen Tian with wide-eyed expressions.
Chen Tian smiled, pleased with their reaction.
Chen Tian reassured them with a calm smile and gestured for them to take a seat.
He knew that this conversation was not going to be easy, but it was crucial for them to believe him. With a deep breath, he began, "I need to talk to both of you about something important..."
With a calm voice, he initiated the conversation.
"I now know it's hard to believe," he started, looking at their skeptical faces.
"But what I'm about to tell you is the truth, and it's something that will change our lives forever."
The room fell silent as Chen Tian prepared himself to reveal the unimaginable secret he had been keeping.
"First and foremost, I want to assure you both that I will never lie to you.
What I am about to disclose may seem impossible, but I need you to trust me."
"Okay,"
"Um"
Both Aria and Leng Zhiqing exchanged uncertain glances but nodded in agreement.
After what they saw, it was hard to deny that Chen Tian wasn't serious.
"Good." Chen Tian nodded, his expression weighty.
"The truth is, I'm a cultivator of ancient times," Chen Tian finally said, his voice filled with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
Aria and Leng Zhiqing stared at him in disbelief, their eyes widening with each passing second.
They weren't unfamiliar with the word cultivators; Leng Zhiqing and Aria read some novels in their free time and often came across stories about cultivators with extraordinary powers.
"Don't tell me that the cultivators that we read about in those novels are actually real." Aria asked, her voice filled with both excitement and disbelief.
Chen Tian nodded solemnly, confirming their suspicions.
"Yes, they are real. And not only that, I am one of them," he explained, his gaze meeting theirs with determination.
Leng Zhiqing's mind raced as she tried to process what Chen Tian had just revealed. It was hard for her to believe that Chen Tian, who she thought knew everything about him was actually hiding such a monumental secret.
