In short, he just did not believe that Shen Qingdai could be reborn. It seemed like a fairytale that defied all the laws of this world.
“Brother Ying, I have a feeling that Feng Tianlan could also be Elder Sister, should we—”
“Ya’er!” Jiang Ying lowered his voice impatiently. “Can you stop talking about Shen Qingdai? It was not easy for us to get rid of her, why do you want to find her again? If you suspect that someone is Sheng Qingdai, you should just tell me, and I will kill her to avoid trouble later.”
Shen Yunya stared blankly at Jiang Ying who was shouting at her. Her face changed and she spoke in a wounded voice, “Brother Ying, you…”
Hearing Shen Yunya’s whimpering voice, Jiang Ying ‘s anger melted away instantly. He panicked instead. “Ya’er, I am sorry, I did not mean that I’m just…”
He truly disliked having anything to do with Shen Qingdai.
“I also don’t want to do this, but the Crown Prince is so determined to find Elder Sister. If he finds her first and she discloses everything, do you think the Crown Prince would let Brother Ying off?” Shen Yunya lowered her head as teardrops fell from her face. “If not for Brother Ying’s sake, I would go looking for Elder Sister.”
Seeing her cry worried Jiang Ying even more. He sat down and hugged her. “I have wronged you. Please do not cry anymore, it was not intentional. You know that I had been trying to please Shen Qingdai for so many years and at last, I have been able to break free from her and marry you. I really do not want to hear anything more about her. All that to me is nothing but disgust and pure torture.”
Shen Yunya did not say anything. She only leaned in his arms and cried softly. The way she was trying her best to control herself made his heart hurt for her.
“Alright, alright, alright. I will listen to you. Whatever Ya’er wants me to do, I will do.” To Jiang Ying, Shen Yunya’s sobbing voice and tears were like a knife cutting into his heart and causing him great pain, so he hurriedly agreed with her so she would stop.
How could he bear to let her cry? She was so precious to him—not a single tear should fall from her cheeks!
Shen Yunya continued sobbing as she turned her back to Jiang Ying. She was still pretending she was cross. “I won’t want to make Brother Ying uncomfortable. I will investigate this myself.”
“My dear Ya’er, I have already acknowledged my mistake. Just tell me what you want, and I will fulfill your request. How about that?”
“Humph…”
Faced with an angry Shen Yunya who was still throwing a tantrum, Jiang Ying had great patience and did his best to appease her. Finally, she nodded and laughed out loud. And so, he felt relieved.
Since the day Shen Yunya visited Feng Tianlan alone, Si Mobai had been hanging around Feng Tianlan for almost 24 hours a day. Even if he had matters to attend to and needed to leave, he would make her go to Luo Yunzhu’s room, so she was never alone.
As such, Jiang Ying, who had wanted to talk to Feng Tianlan privately for a while, could not find a good opportunity to do so. Not to mention a conversation, even just a quick look was not possible. He had to admit that she was very well protected.
Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan’s hand as he whispered gently to her. The two of them had incredibly beautiful faces, and at this moment they were communicating in such an intimate manner that they were very eye-catching, like a celestial couple.
After waiting in the backyard for a while, Jiang Ying saw Feng Tianlan emerge from inside and he was instantly captivated by her beauty. He had never seen someone so pretty, even the old Shen Qingdai could not compare to her.
Her every facial expression and action exuded a charm that was hard to explain. One could not help but gaze at her and follow her around.
Feng Tianlan was still talking to Si Mobai when she felt a scorching gaze on her. She frowned lightly. When she lifted her eyes and saw Jiang Ying staring at her, her face immediately darkened, her gaze turned cold, and her grip on Si Mobai’s hand tightened.
After a quick glimpse of him previously, a face-to-face meeting like this made her want to rip his skin off.
