Chapter 792 Forcing Gong Lian to Retreat
Of course she knew that Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi were impossible, but right now, apart from Gong Lian being able to control Wen Qingyi, no one else could control her.
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian felt that she was making things difficult for him: "Sang Ruo, don't be unreasonable with me here, okay? I really have no feelings for her anymore. Asking me to continue being with her is simply making things difficult for me!"
His heart has changed; he no longer loves Wen Qingyi.
Asking someone who has already changed their mind to be with Wen Qingyi is asking the impossible.
"Gong Lian, you've misunderstood. I'm not asking you to be with her sincerely, I just want you to act out a scene with her, is that not allowed?" Sang Ruo's eyes flickered, revealing an unfathomable light: "You know how Wen Qingyi treated me, I just want to use your power to return all the pain she inflicted on me!"
She also wants Wen Qingyi to repay the pain she caused Nan Chu.
If she can't repay the debt, then we'll make her repay it in other ways, one by one. We absolutely cannot let her have it too easy.
Hearing her say that, Gong Lian understood what she meant: "You mean, you want me to act with Wen Qingyi, make her fall in love with me, and then use my emotions to plunge her into an abyss of pain from which she can never climb out?"
"Do you think someone like Wen Qingyi can be bound by emotions?" Sang Ruo didn't believe that emotions alone could bind her: "If emotions alone could control her, then she wouldn't have been so persistent in pursuing A Yan for so long."
It is precisely because of her inability to see clearly that she has been able to keep going until now.
Now, however, she has become more insane and more stubborn than before, seeing nothing but love and hate in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian frowned: "So, you're thinking of using me? Using my relationship with Wen Qingyi to control her?"
He understood what she meant.
But the truth was something he could not accept.
She knew perfectly well his feelings for her; he had fallen in love with her—that was an undeniable fact! Yet, she still wanted to use his feelings for her to achieve her own goals!
Sang Ruo, when did she become like this? And why did she become so unscrupulous?
This is not the Sang Ruo he knows at all!
Sang Ruo remained silent, clearly acknowledging his words.
Although this method was a bit cruel to him, what could he do when he fell in love with her? Falling in love with her was wrong in the first place.
She had never felt anything for Gong Lian. It would be better for both of them to make him see through this relationship with an uncertain future as soon as possible, since he had once held a knife to her neck as a threat.
She was already married to Bo Jinyan, so she wasn't someone he could love, was she?
It would be better to use such methods to make him completely sever ties with this relationship!
Let each other's lives return to their former tranquility.
"Sang Ruo!" The veins on Gong Lian's forehead showed that he was truly angry: "It's true that I love you, but that's not a reason for you to manipulate me with your emotions! I'm a person! Not a prop!"
"I don't even ask you to fall in love with me, I don't even expect you to look back at me anymore, but at least don't treat me like this, okay?"
As he uttered the last word, a hint of pleading appeared in his eyes.
But Sang Ruo couldn't see that. Instead, she coldly said, "Since you love someone so much that you're willing to compromise, what are you still persisting for? Don't you know that simply compromising won't bring about a happy ending?"
They were originally enemies, so it was already unexpected that they could turn enemies into friends. She really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"So you can use me so brazenly?" When Gong Lian saw that she didn't deny it, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, a dense pain spreading almost to his internal organs: "Sang Ruo, you know how much I love you, why are you so cruel to me?"
Didn't she know that his heart could break too?
She always protected Bo Jinyan's interests, and even her own interests, so why didn't she consider his feelings?
Sang Ruo, on the contrary, felt that "an unequal relationship is inherently cruel. Gong Lian, I hope you can understand that you can't get everything you want by compromising and making concessions. Your constant giving will only bother me and end up hurting yourself."
Why can't he understand that there is no future for them at all!
Moreover, she is already married; she is a married woman with a family!
Why can't he let go?
What's the point of giving unconditionally if it only hurts yourself and others in the end?
"Is that so? Is this your reason for using me?" What bothered Gong Lian the most was that she had used his feelings: "Sang Ruo, I don't ask you to love me, but why are you using me like this? Just because Wen Qingyi is my ex-girlfriend? Or your enemy?"
Is that why she shamelessly took advantage of him?
But Wen Qingyi is now in his past, and the mistakes Wen Qingyi made were not caused by him!
Why couldn't she be fair and give him a chance to love her?
Sang Ruo nodded slightly and admitted without hesitation: "Yes, this is the root of our hostility, and also the root of why you and I are destined to be friends. If it weren't for Wen Qingyi, we wouldn't be in this situation today."
"Gong Lian, you don't need to be so angry. I've told you before that there's no way we can be together. Besides, I'm already married. My heart belongs only to A Yan. Whether you accept it or not, the only person I'll spend the rest of my life with is A Yan."
There can't be anyone else.
He saw how difficult things had been for her and Ayan all along, didn't he? If that's the case, then what's the point of fighting over it?
"So, if I agree to your request and cooperate with you?" Gong Lian suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "Then, will you give me the chance to stay by your side?"
He has already loved so humbly, and it's not like he hasn't pursued women before; he even waited for Wen Qingyi for so many years!
He simply refused to believe that he couldn't move Sang Ruo with his emotions.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo looked incredulous: "Are you crazy? What I just said to you was a complete waste of time, wasn't it? I've already used you like this, and you still want to stay by my side? Don't you think I'm a scary woman?"
She hadn't expected Gong Lian to react this way.
