Chapter 155: Renewed Love (Part 1) (5)
Before dawn, Yin Yin suddenly woke up from her dream...
Sitting on the bed, Yin Yin was gasping for breath, as if she was still in shock from the nightmare, so much so that she ignored the figure beside her; thinking back to the nightmare just now, Yin Yin couldn't help but feel palpitations, and just when she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, she found that there was a person sitting at the table on the other side of the curtain. Because of the dim light, Yin Yin could see the person's appearance very clearly.
"...Menghan!" Yinyin called out the person's name softly.
Ling Menghan, who was sitting at the table in deep thought, responded quickly to the gentle call. She turned around and saw through the curtain that Yinyin had sat up.
"You're awake. I thought you wouldn't wake up so early!" Ling Menghan responded softly, with no emotion in her tone.
Maybe because she had just woken up, Yinyin did not notice the coldness in Ling Menghan's tone. She was just surprised at her arrival, or rather, her appearance.
" Why... are you here? When did you come?" Yin Yin looked at Ling Menghan blankly and couldn't help but ask.
Ling Menghan's lips slightly raised, looking a little weird under the dim light, she asked: "Why? Not welcome?"
"What are you talking about welcoming or not? Why are you here?" Yin Yin seemed completely unable to react to Ling Menghan's words, not to mention her weird words and actions. Not only her words, but also why she appeared here at this time. As she spoke, Yin Yin got out of bed, lifted the curtain and slowly walked towards Ling Menghan.
Under the light, Yin Yin's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. It was not difficult to see how weak her physical condition was at the moment. It was very difficult for her to walk over from the bed, so she sat down quickly after walking over. In any case, seeing Yin Yin like this, Ling Menghan felt a pity in her heart, but did not show it on her face.
"When did you come here? Does the general know?" Yin Yin asked again.
Ling Menghan looked at Yin Yin straight without saying anything. After a while , Yin Yin finally felt a little uneasy being stared at. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. So she slowly lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at Ling Menghan, like a child who had done something wrong.
From Yinyin's reaction, Ling Menghan knew that she must have known what she wanted to say. Would she be forgiven if she bowed her head and admitted her mistakes? Ling Menghan couldn't help but smile contemptuously. She didn't know why she realized how stupid and even ridiculous she was before when she looked at Yinyin in front of her. Ling Menghan didn't hate Yinyin, this was the truth. Even if Yinyin was the one in Zhao Ziheng's heart, she could tolerate all this. She just hated Yinyin for deceiving and concealing her, and trampling on Zhao Ziheng's feelings for her. She didn't know why Yinyin was the one in Zhao Ziheng's heart, and she didn't know why Yinyin was loved by so many people, and even that person!
"Why are you here?" After a long silence, Ling Menghan finally said this, as if questioning Yin Yin.
Yin Yin looked up at Ling Menghan. She didn’t quite understand what Ling Menghan was talking about. Could it be that she wasn’t allowed to stay here?
"When did you meet him? What is your relationship with him? It can be seen that he is sincere to you." Ling Menghan asked again.
Yinyin was confused. She thought the first sentence was about Zhao Ziheng, but she could feel that the second sentence was not about him. So who was Ling Menghan asking? What did she want to say, or what did she want to know? So she just stared at Ling Menghan blankly, unable to answer a word.
"I'm asking about the person who is always by your side." Seeing Yin Yin's confusion, Ling Menghan added, but it was still not clear. From her tone and attitude, the 'he' she mentioned seemed to be a taboo to her?
"As far as I know, he has never let a woman stay by his side for long, let alone him staying by her side? He is an evil ghost in human skin. He wants to kill even his own relatives and even tortured and used his own sister as an object. How could he show his true feelings to anyone? What is your relationship with him?" Ling Menghan's tone was filled with resentment like never before, and her eyes were sad but with a hint of hostility?
For a moment, Yinyin saw the shadows of Guisha and Yunmeng in Ling Menghan's words. Was it an illusion? However, after Ling Menghan said this, Yinyin already knew who the person she was talking about was. She looked at Ling Menghan and was confused. Or was the person she was talking about really Feng Qinghan? At least in her impression, he was not! But from Ling Menghan's tone and reaction, it didn't seem like a lie, so what was true and what was a lie?
Seeing Yin Yin remained silent, Ling Menghan was stunned and angry. Suddenly, the words that Zhao Ziheng had said in a coma before flashed through her mind, making her even more furious.
"It's just as she said. What kind of seductive magic did you use to make them so devoted to you? Don't you find it hard to get along with them? Pretending to be weak and fragile can get their care and concern. Aren't you tired?"
It must be said that Ling Menghan's words were, to some extent, the biggest insult to a person. If Yin Yin couldn't hear it, she would be deceiving herself. She had heard this kind of language too many times, but she didn't expect to hear it from Ling Menghan's mouth, so she felt her heart sink.
Seeing that Yinyin had no intention of explaining, Ling Menghan was suddenly filled with grief and anger. She was sad because Zhao Ziheng fell in love with her. She was angry because Yinyin played with and deceived others' feelings at will. Why was she able to survive, while those who should not have died died?
"Why are you still alive? Why do you have to torture others while you are alive? What did he do wrong? Why don't you let him go until now? Why do you want to torture him? He is already miserable, can't you be kind and let him go? How long are you going to torture him?" Ling Menghan's tone sounded like venting, and more like begging. Her pleading was not only for herself, but also because she felt that it was not worth it for Zhao Ziheng's efforts to not be rewarded.
