"You found out about Lu Jin's reality, right? Long Tian, I'll be honest. Every time I saw you hanging on to that girl's words, I felt disgusted and disappointed in you. I couldn't understand why you, who was always cold and suspicious, mistrustful of women, trusted her. Why you couldn't see through her deception was beyond my understanding. But later, I realized you liked her. And because you liked her, you ignored all the signs of her deception."
Long Tian didn't speak, his cold silence causing Ouyang Gu to tremble in trepidation. His gaze went back and forth between the two men, the confusion in their depths slowly turning to enlightenment when he heard Fu Ji Ren's words.
Lu Jin...was deceiving Long Tian?
Huuuu...
No wonder Fu Ji Ren never liked her. The man must've already sensed her bad intentions.
Ouyang Gu looked at Fu Ji Ren in admiration, amazed at his keen insight.
Unaware of his friend's fervent gaze, Fu Ji Ren continued his
"Ahhh! Why!? Why!?" Yei Yi smashed another vase of flowers, the broken shreds flying everywhere before crashing onto the already littered floor. But her anger, resentment, and bitterness didn't abate, the raging inferno devouring her heart in a flood of hatred. Yei Yi couldn't take it anymore. With another shriek of enraged cry, she swept everything on her dressing table to the ground. The bottles of perfumes and nail polish smashed and shattered, the various fumes and fragrances mixing and drifting in the room, filling the air with their pungent scent. Tired and drained, Yei Yi collapsed on her bed with tears swimming in her dark eyes. Why!? Why in the world did Li Qing Yue always get everything? Why did she always get the best of everything without even trying? She was obviously better than the reticent Li Qing Yue in everything. She was more educated, more outgoing, more assertive, and a lot smarter. So why did every
When Yei Yi arrived at the Ivy Club, she found Tang Fang drinking in a private room. Bang! She slammed her purse on the side table and casually sat across from him. "Tang Fang, you are really useless, aren't you? Only one Li Qing Yue and you're unable to win her heart?" Her eyes condescending roamed over his body, the disdain and scorn within their depths rising dark anger in his heart. Tang Fang clenched his fist and lowered his drink. "What happened now?" He was used to Yei Yi's temper tantrums. Whenever something happened at the Li Mansion, she would call and run over to vent at him. He was used to it, but that didn't mean he liked it. "What happened? Oh, nothing much, just that the goddess of your heart, Li Qing Yue, is getting engaged to Long Tian, the only son of Great Commander Long Hongwu." Twing! "What!?" Tang Fang's eyes widened in disbelief. Blood oozed from his clenched fist as shreds of glass from h
Qing Yue placed the food, clothes, books, and shoes she bought for the City Orphanage in the trunk of her hover. She closed the trunk with her purple button and moved towards the driver's seat. A light spring breeze rippled by and plucked at her sleek tresses, the strands getting in her eyes as she hopped into the hover. Qing Yue swept the strands out of her face before the automatic belts tied her to the seat. "Su Su, City Orphanage." "Su Su heading to City Orphanage." The hover floated and faced towards the grey skyscrapers before dashing into their embrace. Qing Yue had been visiting the City Orphanage since the age of 11. As a soul from the past, feeding hungry kids and clothing them wasn't anything new. On the contrary, because of the numerous wars fraught on the land and its people, she stayed among children that were abandoned hungry and naked on street corners and government doors or sold as slaves as their parents couldn't aff
"Qing Yue, your presence brightens this humble abode. You've no idea how much the kids look forward to seeing you every other week." Madam Ji moved forward and emotionally embraced Qing Yue. This little girl, who was barely an adult, had assisted them in their time of need when they had no support and were on the brink of becoming homeless. She gave them food when the little ones passed out from hunger, and gave them clothes when the weather got too cold. If it weren't for her, the City Orphanage wouldn't exist until now. It would've already been demolished and reduced to a play center for the wealthy kids. "Madam Ji, I look forward to seeing the kids as well. They make me happy and fill me with purpose. If I wasn't busy on the other days, I would've loved to spend every day in their company." "Hmm. I know. Come, have a seat." Madam Ji led Qing Yue to the sitting room. Tang Fang's eyes gleamed with a strange excitement as he watched her back.<
"Qing Yue!""Sister Qing!""Yue'er!"The shocked cries returned Long Tian to his senses. He rushed forth and arrived before the flaming hover to find the girl unconscious underneath."Hey, hey! Wake up! If you can hear my voice, open your eyes. Quickly call the emergency line!" Long Tian coldly screamed and waved at the dumbstruck people around him, before turning and taking off his suit coat.He slammed at the flaming hover, extinguishing some of the bursting flames before dropping to the ground and wedging his way towards the motionless girl."Hey! Hey, little girl! Can you hear my voice?" He hoarsely yelled over the roaring flames.Qing Yue's entire body ached as if every bone was crushed and every flesh skinned. Burnt skin and the metallic scent of blood filled her nostrils, returning her to the nightmares she so desperately wished to leave behind."Cough, Cough!"Smoke entered her lungs and she tearfully coughed.
"Da** it!" The instant the hover dropped on Li Qing Yue, he gave an excuse of calling for medical aid and disappeared from the scene. The matter involved an accident. Once the authorities were informed and got involved, they would find the drug in Li Qing Yue's body. To get to the bottom of the drug source, they would definitely question every suspect on the scene. At that time, he wouldn't be safe from the investigation. And as the person that was with Li Qing Yue before the accident, it wouldn't be long before they found evidence of his crime. Once that happened, no one would be able to save him from getting convicted and sentenced to jail. "Li Qing Yue, as much as I love you, I can't endanger my future when your own life and death is a question mark. It's not that I'm cruel. It's just that we never had any relationship to get involved with each other's affairs. If you die, then that can only be considered your fate." With a cold sneer, Tang Fang turned and vanished into the dark
Qing Yue floated in a world of tranquil and serene atmosphere. A large field of medicinal herbs and plants spread out below her as above, fluffy clouds and delicate flying creatures like White Cranes and Light Flies circled around. But Qing Yue wasn't moved by their beauty. She was too focused on controlling her body that was as light as a feather. With a little gust of wind, she floated the other way and landed on small grey-white cotton? Yep, cotton... She raised her head and tried to make sense of her surroundings. "Where am I? Did I already die?" It would make sense. After all, the accident was devastatingly horrific. If she didn't die, she'd be more surprised. "At least I saved little Ran." She felt sad that both of her lives seemed to end so tragically before she even reached 20. One in the agony of poison and poisonous insects, and the other under the torment of flames and burning metal. However, she'd welcomed and embra
So he is a spirit... But inside the stone pendant? If the stone pendant was the one from her first life, then it would explain how he knew her secrets. It would also explain why he knew she was a saint. Because every Saintess wore the Saint Pendant, or the stone pendant, on their initiation day, which just happens to be the 18th birthday. So...Uncle Wei had coincidently completed her initiation by giving her the Saint Pendant on her 18th birthday. Or was it really a coincidence? "I was a Saintess in my past life, but not this one. So you don't need to address me as Saintess." One life of shouldering such heavy responsibility was enough. Now even if she was dead, she didn't want to carry the same burden. Li Feng's eyes filled with pity. He had accompanied her in her previous life and knew her fears better than she knew herself. "I understand your feelings, little Saint. However, the position of a Saintess isn't one you c
