Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Her Answer_1

When referring to past events, Yan Ling used to feel particularly heavy-hearted. But today, perhaps due to the presence of Qi Yunjue, she was surprisingly at ease discussing the topic.

"Was that man Shen Liangshen?" Qi Yunjue asked.

Yan Ling was taken aback that Qi Yunjue knew about her and Shen Liangshen.

But remembering that her misadventures had long since spread throughout Haishi, she responded with a bitter smile, "Yes, it was him."

"It’s funny, I always thought my mom gave up so much for Yan Qianhong, and it wasn’t worth it. But I never expected that years later, I would blindly follow her down the same path..."

Despite the tragic ending her mother had due to love,

at least she never abandoned her dignity.

And herself?

For that illusory and elusive love, she allowed what was left of her dignity to be trampled upon, and even her innocence and reputation were completely destroyed.

Comparatively speaking, she was actually worse off than her mother!

Yan Ling gazed distantly at the pitch-black fields outside the car, murmuring, "If only my mom hadn’t given birth to me! Without me, she wouldn’t have hastily married Yan Qianhong, nor would she have left the capital to live in Haishi, only to pass from illness due to the unfamiliar environment. She gave up so much for me, yet I’ve lived such a failed life. If she was still alive, she would surely have been so disappointed..."

"No!"

With a deep gaze, Qi Yunjue reassured her sincerely, "You did not follow in your mother’s footsteps. She never saw the true face of the man she loved until she died. But you saw that man’s true face and even rebirthed like a phoenix from the damage. You emerged from that desperate situation and made yourself so outstanding! You are doing great, better than most of the girls in this world! If your mother knows from beyond the grave, she wouldn’t be disappointed, she’d be proud!"

Yan Ling didn’t expect Qi Yunjue to say that.

She laughed through her tears, joked, "In that case, I need to strive to be even better than I am now, or else I won’t live up to Lord Qi’s praise."

Seeing her smile, Qi Yunjue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What I said comes from the depth of my heart!"

No matter what, he would not let her follow in her mother’s footsteps.

Even if she rejects him, he would protect her from worries for a lifetime!

With that in mind, Qi Yunjue nonchalantly asked, "Yan Ling, can I ask you a question?"

Yan Ling nodded, "Go ahead."

"Is this person you mentioned last time very important to you?"

Was that person more important than Shen Liangshen?

If not, why did she care so much about what that person thought of her, and was willing to expose her scars just to refute him.

Yan Ling was unaware of Qi Yunjue’s thoughts, she just assumed that the person Qi Yunjue referred to was Yuan Bao.

She solemnly nodded once more, "Very important, even more important than my own life! He was my redemption. Without him, I would have never been able to escape from those dark days of my past."

Hearing her say this, the light in Qi Yunjue’s eyes rapidly dimmed.

He knew that man was no ordinary person to her.

But he didn’t expect that she would care about that man so much,

even considering him more essential than her own life.

No wonder that man could confidently say that to pursue Yan Ling, one must pass through him first.

Yan Ling noticed the change in Qi Yunjue’s mood after her revelation.

She didn’t realize that Qi Yunjue had misunderstood her relationship with Yuan Bao, but since she had already said so much, she had to bring up what she intended to say earlier.

"Qi Yunjue, about what I said before, I want to tell you the answer now..."
