134 Chapter 134 Fleeting Feeling (2/2)
Thinking about how Feng Jun Yi told her that he doesn't really love her and that he only wants her to carry his child, Lin Xulian wanted to tell herself that maybe he was controlled. That he doesn't mean what he said. But she cannot fool herself. Those cold treatments felt real and even his reasons for his act are rational. ”Our relationship isn't romantic anyway so it does not really matter. We haven't even consummated our marriage for five years. Once I'm fully cured, I'll help him save his empire but that will end everything between us. We just have the same enemy, that's all.”
”What?! Is he a monk in disguise? What kind of man can keep his hands off of a beauty like you?!” Xing Tanxing exclaimed in surprise.
”You are thinking too highly of me. He just doesn't love me, that's all.”
”But you do, right?” Feeling her sadness, Xing Tanxing didn't probe further. She actually wants to ask Lin Xulian about her opinion about Rui, but decided against it. Thinking about it deeply, she has no right to ask anything. 'Forget it. It's just a fleeting feeling. It won't take long; I'll forget about him.' She thought.
Lin Xulian and Xing Tanxing talked about random things for a bit before Xing Tanxing decided to leave. Lin Xulian still needs more time to recuperate and gain back the internal energy she lost because of the Gu inside her. Right when she exited the room, Rui coincidentally arrived to visit Lin Xulian. Her heart skipped a beat for a moment but she tried to control her reaction since she already decided to let go of her budding feelings.
”Young master Rui, are here to visit Lian?” Xing Tanxing asked.
”Yes. Is she awake now?”
”Yes, she is.” Rui was about to continue and enter Lin Xulian's chambers but Xing Tanxing stopped him. ”Young master Rui, are you going to enter her private chambers?”
”Of course. Why? Am I not allowed?” Rui asked in confusion.
”As her brother, you are. But there are differences between men and women. If you want her to look at you as a man, then you should make her feel it. If you continue treating her without malice like a normal brother, then she will only see you as her brother. But it is still up to you if you want to take my advice.” Xing Tanxing enthusiastically said then she bowed and left.
But right after she turned her back, she gave herself a mocking smile. 'Tanxing you already lost without even giving a fight.'
Rui on the other hand followed her retreating back with his sight and ponder about what she said. Then he turned his head towards the closed door of Lin Xulian's chamber. 'It actually make sense. I still have a lot of time at hand. I'll do everything to make you forget about him Lian'er.'
