Chapter 1340 For the Greater Good, What If I Am Sacrificed?
Feng Ling remained unconscious for a good half of the day.
It wasn't until dusk that she finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, Feng Ye Xuan was sitting not far away.
"Awake?" Feng Ye Xuan immediately put down his cup and stood up.
"Don't come over!" Seeing him, Feng Ling flinched away towards the inner side of the bed as if he were a devil.
Feng Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, looking at her, a wave of guilt washing over him.
"I'm sorry..."
"Your Highness, you seem to be the one who likes to apologize to me the most." Feng Ling let out a desolate laugh, clutching the quilt and wrapping herself tightly.
It was as if she had no sense of security when she was around him.
This helpless, somewhat sarcastic smile was etched into Feng Ye Xuan's heart.
He seemed to have no resistance to such a smile.
The girl from before would often smile like this, he remembered it very clearly.
Every time he hurt her, she would smile like this.
Even though her heart was in great pain, she disliked crying. She preferred to smile.
Even if the smile was chillingly cold.
Feng Ye Xuan was somewhat stunned.
Before today, he had even doubted if the woman in his heart was Feng Ling, inexplicably wavering.
But now, seeing Feng Ling's smile, the doubt suddenly vanished.
It was indeed this kind of smile, indifferent and disdainful.
He remained silent.
Feng Ling almost couldn't help but speak again.
But she tightly clenched her palms, squeezing hard.
She couldn't be as anxious as before; he had already become suspicious, already doubting if she was the woman he loved.
These past two days, she had been too impatient, forgetting that she was originally meant to replace Chu Qian Li in his heart.
Feng Ye Xuan's palm strike today had finally made her completely sober.
The one he loved was Chu Qian Li, not her, Feng Ling.
His woman was also Chu Qian Li, still not her, Feng Ling.
His current affection for her was only due to her hypnosis and the่ (gu) placed by the Venerable Master.
However, his abnormality these past two days indicated that he still could not escape his own thoughts and desires.
Now, the only way to change him, to make him more resolute, was to imitate Chu Qian Li!
Even though she detested that damned woman.
But Feng Ye Xuan was exactly like this, he liked Chu Qian Li's kind of flavor!
Feng Ling closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she looked at him again, there were no longer any ripples in her eyes.
"You should go," she suddenly said. "There are many matters waiting for you outside. I am fine here. I will reflect well during these three days of confinement."
"Ling'er..." As expected, Feng Ling's attitude, so similar to Chu Qian Li's, pierced Feng Ye Xuan's heart.
He finally called her Ling'er again!
Feng Ling fiercely tightened her palms.
If she hadn't squeezed so hard, hurting herself, she might have immediately rushed forward to forgive him at the sound of "Ling'er."
No! She had to stay calm!
Her current superficial coldness and indifference were not even a tenth of Chu Qian Li's!
She had to learn to endure!
Letting him leave! Letting him stay away from her! On the contrary, it would make him miss her more!
"I know I was wrong. I was indeed consumed by jealousy and hatred; you were right."
Feng Ye Xuan still didn't speak, but his gaze towards her held a hint of complexity.
"I also know that to preserve the greater good, it is necessary to sacrifice unimportant people."
She looked at Feng Ye Xuan, smiling faintly and coldly, "I brought this upon myself, and it also serves to protect her reputation? In the face of the greater good, what does ruining one person's reputation matter?"
