Chapter 1386: Vengeance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, the two families sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Those who could not sit still had already gone outside to build snowmen.
Lil Ling’er and Lil Sun were the ones who could not stay put, so they dragged their aunt outside to build snowmen.
Seeing that his wife went out, Chi Yang followed suit.
Seeing that their youngest sister had gone out, the older brothers naturally wanted to follow her as well.
Since Bai Liyue was injured, she had to go upstairs to rest. As Bai Liyue was fine to hang around by herself, Aiden, Selina, and Dan Qi went out to build snowmen with Nuannuan too.
“Big Bro, do you want to build a snowman?” Dan Qi asked Feng Shengxuan.
“Go away,” Feng Shengxuan said and turned to go upstairs.
That was uncalled for, but Dan Qi shrugged off the dissing. He was so excited that he would rather stop binging his dramas and follow his elder sisters out to build snowmen.
When Feng Shengxuan went upstairs, Bai Liyue was already in bed. Seeing him push the door open, she was slightly surprised. “Why are you here?”
“Am I not allowed to see you?”
Bai Liyue, “…”
“Do you really feel better now?”
Bai Liyue nodded. “I’m much better now. Don’t worry.”
“Do you think I’m worried about you? Now that Imperial Phoenix Group has moved to Camino, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that we have to start over in many things. I’m going for surgery after the New Year, and Imperial Phoenix Group only has Aiden…”
“Relax, haven’t I already said that I’ll go to Imperial Phoenix’s office after the New Year?”
Feng Shengxuan, “…”
After successfully ending the conversation, without the help of an advisor to teach him how to continue the conversation, there was only silence in the room. However, Feng Shengxuan sat in front of Bai Liyue’s bed without any intention to leave.
In the end, Bai Liyue broke the silence and spoke.
“Your father founded KE, and because of your father, you’ve been living in hatred. It has become your mission, and at the same time, it’s the only thing you’ve ever pursued in your life. It’s as though revenge is the only element in your life, and revenge has become the only joy in your life.
“However, when you told me one day that Nuannuan wanted to destroy KE, and you were prepared to help her, I was really happy. That was because I thought that you’d finally leave your vengeance behind, look further into the farther horizons, and attempt to live a different life.
“Even so, I failed to foresee that you were merely using Nuannuan—you eliminated anyone who opposed you even though you claimed to be on Nuannuan’s side as she destroyed your KE. Back then, the people who remained in KE looked like they obeyed you on the surface, but in reality, your uncle was the real master they serve. Therefore, KE wasn’t destroyed. The only thing that got destroyed was your uncle’s source of power.”
Feng Shengxuan did not say anything, affirming Bai Liyue’s words with his silence.
“Since you like Nuannuan so much, do you think Nuannuan will forgive you if she finds out that you merely used her? Will she forgive you after knowing that you’re the real culprit behind her mother’s death and her getting separated from her family?”
Feng Shengxuan was silent for a long time before finally saying, “As long as you don’t tell, she’ll never know.”
“Oh? Is that so?” A mocking smile appeared on Bai Liyue’s lips. “Are you sure that the jealous woman that should have a collar around her neck won’t escalate this matter out of your control just because she has a huge crush on you?
“She won’t.”
Feng Shengxuan’s answer was so firm and so confident; more than the trust he had in Bai Liyue.. This puff of anger got stuck in Bai Liyue’s throat and she could not make herself swallow this.
