"I won’t ask anything else. I just want to ask you one question: do you still love him?" Lu Youyuan looked at her, "I want to hear the truth from you."
"I don’t love him anymore."
"I think you’re lying."
Long Fengxi asked, "Then how do you want me to answer? Would you feel more comfortable if I said I still love him?"
"I just want to hear your honest answer." Googlᴇ search noⅴelfire.net
Long Fengxi looked at him, didn’t speak, and walked away, releasing his hand.
At this moment, Long Fengxi was in no mood to talk about these things. Her brother was, at best, still alive; but honestly, he was as good as dead in the mortal world. He comfort wasn’t on discussing her personal feelings; her mind felt like it was about to explode.
"You already know." Long Fengxi sat down by the bed side, "You Yuan, why do you still ask me if you already know?"
"I want to be sure that what I know matches your true feelings. Please tell me," he said with utmost seriousness.
"You’re asking me if I still love him? I don’t know what the future holds, people change, but... after all these years, I haven’t. I love him, even though he has hurt me deeply and made me suffer to death, even though I have told myself over and over again to not keep going, and I’ve told everyone else that I don’t love him. But only I know that I still do. It’s impossible to lie to my own heart. I don’t know when it will end, but I want to try to stop loving him, which is why I agreed to be with you. You Yuan, we are not together because of love. We both feel that being together is the right fit, it’s comfortable. Love is a luxury, and I don’t want it anymore. Now, I just want to live a stable life. They say with enough time, feelings will fade, right? I believe there will come a day when my feelings for him will fade, but I don’t know when that day will come."
Long Fengxi looked at him, "I don’t want to stay stuck in the same place, You Yuan, you’re so great, I believe you can heal my pain, whether it’s physical or emotional. I don’t want to deny this. Maybe in the future, I’ll fall in love with you because I have given both myself and you that chance. I’m trying."
Lu Youyuan stepped forward and gave her a hug, "I understand now."
When Shen Congmo sent Long Fengxi a text message, he didn’t know about Long Yubei’s situation.
Not long after sending the text, Liang He called to tell him about it. Shen Congmo wanted to go to Qin Garden but was stopped by Liang He, and so, Shen Congmo ended up at Liang He’s place.
He reeked of alcohol, but he had sobered up a lot.
After hearing the detailed situation from Liang He, Shen Congmo clenched his hands before his forehead, closed his eyes, and fell silent.
Tears fell as his voice became hoarse, "How could such a thing happen, is Da Long really not coming back?"
"It’s hard to say." Liang He pulled out a tissue to wipe his nose, "Now all hope is pinned on your sister-in-law. Do you really want to divorce Jin Miaomiao?"
"What did Jin Miaomiao say?"
"She refused to divorce, no matter what." Shen Congmo’s temples throbbed with pain, "I haven’t touched her, and since I am the one who initiated the divorce, I’ll do my best to compensate her. Liangzi, I’ve made a terrible mistake concerning the marriage, and it cannot continue. I don’t like Jin Miaomiao at all. Divorce is a release for both her and me. I can’t hold her back, nor can I delay my own life. It’s for the best for both sides."
"What did you do during the time you took Feng Xi away?" Liang He asked softly, "Did you...?"
