Chapter 144: Life is worse than death (6)
Zhou Yan did not let Huan Ling go because of this. He just continued: "If I guess correctly, the person you love also loves Yin Yin, right?"
These words were undoubtedly the most fatal to Huan Ling. She was indeed uncomfortable seeing Yin Yin, but what she could not tolerate the most was that the person she loved would actually fall in love with her. She knew that the person she loved would never stay for anyone, but at least she was once the only one who could stay with him, and she felt very satisfied just for this; however, the appearance of Yin Yin completely broke this principle, and her heart really stayed for someone who could be said to have nothing to do with her, who had done nothing for her, so she was unwilling to accept it. She hated, was angry, and desperate, but she was completely ignored, so she came to this point today.
"How is it? Do you want me to continue?"
The cold voice awakened Huanling's thoughts. Her focus returned to Zhou Yan, and her expression gradually changed from stiff to somewhat weird. This sudden change made Zhou Yan feel a palpitation for no reason. Not to mention Zhou Yan, even Canfeng felt that Huanling's expression was really weird. Just when he wanted to speculate further, Huanling's voice rang in his ears.
"Do you think you have the right to say that to me?" Huan Ling asked.
Zhou Yan didn't say anything. He naturally knew what Huan Ling was talking about. It was not a secret in the first place, and he didn't intend to deny it. Silence often meant consent, at least that was the case at the moment.
Yin Yin also knew what Huan Ling was talking about. She did not deny that it had a lot to do with herself. She did not deny that she had suffered a lot of pain and torture because of everything Huan Ling had done. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was living a life worse than death. But similarly, those who were implicated because of her were just like Huan Ling. In fact, she was also scarred in her heart when she hurt others. So how could she be the only one who suffered a lot of pain and torture and was living a life worse than death?
Just as Yinyin was immersed in her own world of thoughts, she suddenly felt a familiar gaze staring at her. So she looked up and happened to meet the gaze of Huanling, who had cast it at some unknown time. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but compared to other times, Yinyin felt that Huanling's gaze this time was a little mocking? And Yinyin clearly felt that this mockery was not only directed at her, Yinyin had seen all kinds of gazes, but this time, Yinyin felt an inexplicable tremor, and a bad premonition also arose spontaneously.
"Isn't there someone who has been tortured by you to a point where his life is worse than death?" Huan Ling looked at Yin Yin, but spoke to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan still didn't say anything. He already knew what Huan Ling wanted to say, and he never intended to deny it.
"Moreover, in my opinion, that person is living a life worse than death. She should have had a happy life, but it was disrupted by an outsider. She should have hated him to the core, but she pretended to be strong. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't win her husband's gaze even for a second. Even when she needed him the most, he was only chasing after another woman, including..."
Having said this, Huan Ling suddenly stopped talking and shifted his gaze from Yin Yin back to Zhou Yan. Everyone knew that the reason why Huan Ling paused was meaningful. As for what the reason was, it was probably enough to overturn everything that everyone could think of.
"You know what? You have never cared about her. Although you would indulge her more or less on the surface, it was only because of guilt. Even if you compensated her, it was through other people. You never thought about repaying her personally. You never understood her, and you never knew what she was really like." Somehow the phantom spirit suddenly changed the subject, but even so, it could not be ruled out that it was related to the previous words.
Zhou Yan, who had been calm till now, suddenly began to narrow his focus after hearing the last words. He stared at Huan Ling straightly. Although he said nothing, his heart was restless. He wanted to ask, wanted to confirm his guess, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only wait for Huan Ling to speak.
"As long as you care about her a little bit, she won't be living a life worse than death. Watching the person she loves chasing after another person, no matter how strong a person is, they will have their bottom line. I think if she didn't have the spiritual support, she would have chosen to die to get rid of it long ago, right?"
Completely opposite to the situation just now, Zhou Yan had no words to refute Huanling's words, because they were all correct. He knew very well that he owed Han Ji too much. Every time he thought of her, Han Ji's tearful face in Zhao State would always appear in his mind. It was then that he really understood Han Ji's feelings. He had always neglected her too much and thought she was strong enough, only to find out that he really never cared about her. As Huanling said, he really had never understood the real Han Ji.
"You can go to the snowy mountains to search for the 'Flame Flower' for the one you love, regardless of life and death, but you ignore the pain of the one who loves you. What's the difference between you and me?" The voice of the phantom continued.
Zhou Yan looked at Huan Ling and said calmly: "So you also sent the assassin on the snowy mountain?"
Huan Ling smiled, which was his answer.
Thinking back to that time when he had a narrow escape, he had thought about chopping the murderer into pieces after finding him, and he still couldn't let it go. But at this moment, Zhou Yan felt an inexplicable sense of relief? He subconsciously discovered that letting go was so simple.
