Chapter 541 want to talk (2/2)

However, beautiful or not, at this moment, it is only a sad painting for him and Ling Ni.

The two individuals had not spoken a word since they sat down.

Liu Shan had always wished that time would slow down for him when he was with Ling Ni, but now… Now he just wish that time would speed up so he can move on.

Thinking this, he decides to break the silence without looking at her.

”What is it that you want to talk about?”

Ling Ning was staring down at the grass in front of her. When she heard his tone full of indifference, she felt another stab to her heart. She couldn't help but look at him.

It hurts to see him treat her so coldly, but she cannot blame him. It was her who hurt him first.

Shifting her gaze away from him, she looks back down at the grass.

”The woman from that night, she is very pretty. Is she the person you are seeing?”

It was her first time seeing Yuanyuan, and even she finds the woman very pretty and attractive. If she were man, she would also pursue Yuanyuan too.

”Whether I am seeing her or not, I don't have to answer to you.”

Liu Shan didn't care and retorted her words. However, only he knows how hard it is for him to act this way. He is trying his best to not lash out at her and ask her why.

Why did she give him false hopes? Why couldn't she just tell him that she was already with someone? Why did she have to go and make him fall for her? Why did she take his heart and smash it to bits of pieces?

Ling Ni press her lips tightly together at his response. She scoffs a sarcastic chuckle in self-pity.

”You are right. I am no one to you and you don't have to tell me anything.”

Liu Shan doesn't respond to her words and the atmosphere became quiet again.

She sighs a smile full of regret, pain and sadness. When she saw Liu Shan enter the room with the pretty woman, she felt a suffocating feeling inside her. It was a feeling she never felt before until she met him.

However, she kept telling herself that she cannot have these feelings because these feelings are out of her reach.

Glancing up to the clear blue sky, two birds suddenly soar over the lake. The one behind follows the one in the front. Like two lovers chasing after one another.

”I never told anyone, but the truth is, I envy those who have the opportunity to choose how they want to live and who they want to be with.”

Hearing her words, Liu Shan slightly furrow his brows.

When he was moving to Imperial, he had done a background check on the families here. From what he can remember, Ling Ni is from a wealthy family. However, as the only daughter and child of her family, what can she possible envy?

Then again, he didn't go into further details of her and her family's life because he thought it wasn't necessary.

”Liu Shan, I want to tell you my story.”

Her words fell, but Liu Shan still remains quiet. Taking it as his way of approving her to go on, she proceeds to tell him.
