Chapter 1344 I am nothing in your heart
The trump card?
Nan Yan was stunned. How come she didn’t know that she had such a thing on her?
She frowned and asked, "What's the killer move?"
The mysterious man said, "Benzoin."
“……!”
When Nan Yan heard these three words, her heart trembled, and the other party continued in a tone that was so calm that it made people feel shocked: "The benzoin you bought in Jinling City."
“…”
"This is the clue you used to trace your past. It seems he's looking for the same clue, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
She looked at the figure emerging from the screen. Although she was already familiar with it, at this moment, the figure suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, like a huge shadow covering her.
It is even more shrouded in my own heart.
She said, "It seems that Your Excellency knows me very well."
She had returned to Jinling City and made a special trip home to visit Gu Tingchun and the others, and then bought the benzoin at the market. She didn't expect that such a small action was being monitored and seen by others.
It seems that this person has been following her all the way.
The feeling of being spied on was very unpleasant. The other party also said with a slightly apologetic smile: "I hope you don't mind. After all, what I am about to do is of great importance. If I don't know myself and the enemy, and if I am not completely sure, I dare not act rashly."
“…”
Nan Yan smiled faintly: "Since you have such a scheming mind, what big things are you worried about not being able to accomplish?"
The other party also smiled: "Then, we also need the help of capable people."
“…”
“…”
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Although there was a screen between them, Nan Yan could feel the gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts looking at her, and as she looked at that figure, her mood at this moment was also extremely complicated.
Just as the two of them were staring at each other in silence, there was a gentle knock on the door behind the mysterious man.
"who?"
"Owner."
"Come in."
"yes."
After a brief conversation, a man who looked like a guard walked in from outside. He walked behind the screen and whispered something in the ear of the mysterious man.
"Oh? Where are they?"
"We're almost there."
"Okay, I understand. You can go down."
"yes."
The man retreated respectfully again.
Nan Yan was sensitive enough to realize that something seemed to be happening. She whispered, "What happened?"
The other person turned to her and said in a subtle tone: "It seems that you really should believe what I say. You still have considerable influence on the emperor."
"What?"
"He has already set out to come and find you in person."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Originally, when she was about to return the dagger to him that night, she had already decided to make a break, no matter who Feng Qianyan was or what their past memories were. She once told Zhu Feng that if he wanted to leave on his own, then she would leave, and she would go far away so that he would never see her again.
Even if her body can't leave, her heart can leave.
She still does to this day.
But now, having suddenly learned such a shocking truth, her mood became much more complicated when she wanted to go back.
The other party seemed to see through her mood at this moment and asked, "Why, are you afraid of facing him?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him solemnly, speechless.
The other party said calmly, "You still have some time to think about it, and some time to prepare. But I must tell you, if you want to go back, you must do it perfectly. He is a man who has survived on the battlefield and has a sharper instinct than others, like a wild animal. If you can't deceive him, you will be the one to die."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Nan Yan sat alone in this spacious room, but at the moment, it felt extremely cramped and cramped, making her a little breathless.
At this moment, the door behind her was pushed open.
A voice rang out——
"Nan Yan."
Upon hearing the voice, Nan Yan hurriedly turned around, only to see Li Bushang walking in from outside.
He was still the same as before, his handsome young face showing a steadiness and gloominess that was inconsistent with his age. Only when he saw himself would there be a little vitality in those wolf-like eyes.
But when she saw him, Nan Yan's mood suddenly became more complicated.
"you--"
"Are you okay?"
He walked quickly forward to make sure Nan Yan was safe and sound. He subconsciously tried to grab her arms with his hands, but Nan Yan stepped back and dodged.
His hand froze in mid-air.
After a while, he said, "You, you are still blaming me?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just turned her face to the side.
The memory of that night may not be the most terrifying, but it was the most shocking to her. A young boy whom she regarded as her brother suddenly showed such a terrifying appearance and wanted to violate her. No matter who it was, she could not face it calmly.
Li Bushang whispered, "You—Nan Yan, do you hate me?"
“…”
"I, I just, I'm sorry to you—"
"Don't say anymore."
“…”
"I don't want to talk about that incident anymore. I can pretend that nothing happened that night."
A hurt expression appeared on Li Bushang's face.
He said, "As if nothing happened?"
Nan Yan turned to look at him: "Do you still want me to remember that night and how you treated me?"
“…”
Li Bu Shang stared at her blankly for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice, "I'd rather you hit me, I'd rather you scold me."
“…”
"I would rather you hate me than be nothing in your heart."
“…”
His voice was low and trembling, as if he was in great pain. As Nan Yan listened to his words, the pain seemed to spread to her heart.
But she gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "In my heart, you are Li Bushang."
“…”
"It can only be Li Bushang."
"Even without him, it's impossible?" Li Bushan looked at her, his eyes slightly red: "If it weren't for him, if I met you first——"
Nan Yan interrupted him: "There is no if."
“…”
"If you still want to go back, it's best not to think about such 'ifs'!"
Meeting her determined gaze, Li Bu Shang was silent for a while, then finally lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
“…”
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't say she was afraid of Li Bushang. Although this young man already had enough strength and ability to get her, deep down, she was not afraid of anyone.
She just didn't want Li Bushan to go down a path of no return.
She said in her heart: I am doing this for your own good, whether you understand it or not, but there will be no result between you and me.
She stood up and walked out.
Li Bushang followed behind her and looked at her back.
Do you know that in this world, there are some "ifs" that can become reality?
