Uh, Lu Qingyan felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that what she said really meant that.
"Take it back? What's the use of taking it back? You want to eat a table full of steaming hot delicacies, but would you still want to eat them if they were spoiled?" His Yan Yan was telling him to steal another woman, how could he not be angry? Jun Jiuxian suddenly looked somewhat sinister, his hand slowly clenching into a fist, and he suddenly spoke: "Do you believe in the concept of past and present lives?"
Lu Qingyan looked up in surprise, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Jun Jiuxian suddenly chuckled softly, a hint of weariness in his smile: "I've had the same dream since I was little. In my dream, a woman walks up to me and flirts with me. I have the same dream every day, about that woman."
Jun Jiuxian smiled and glanced down at Lu Qingyan. Suddenly, he reached into the bathtub and stirred the hot water, making the petals floating on the surface spin around. "I know you must be laughing. Back then, I was just a child who couldn't even get enough to eat, yet I still had the mind to think about a woman."
"Do you believe that woman was my lover in a past life?" Jun Jiuxian asked softly, a cold glint in his eyes. "I believe it! If I have a past life, then she must have been my lover. I thought it was just my wild imagination, but one day I finally found her. Heh, she's the daughter of a wealthy family, and I'm just a beggar. What right do I have to be worthy of her?"
Lu Qingyan remained silent. In her view, there was no such thing as being worthy or unworthy in this world. As long as their feelings for each other were sincere and their determination to strive for a better life was firm, they could make their lives better, both materially and spiritually.
However, when Lu Qingyan heard Jun Jiuxian say that he used to be a beggar, she was both surprised and heartbroken. Given his lowly status and lack of family support, one can only imagine the hardships he endured to climb to his current position.
Jun Jiuxian sneered, "I once thought of asking her to wait for me, to propose marriage to her family when I was able to. But what happened? I found that whether in the past life or this life, the so-called feelings between us were just wishful thinking on my part. In the past life, she could marry someone else, and in this life, she can marry someone else. In her eyes, I am just a dispensable existence, someone she uses to amuse herself when she is bored?"
The man leaning against the edge of the bathtub stirred the water with his hand, his expression as serious as that of a child who had not yet grown up. His eyes held a hint of mockery, yet inexplicably, they evoked a sense of pity.
Lu Qingyan trembled inexplicably. This character setting sounded exactly like Ouyang Feng! It seemed like she was the one who flirted with him and then abandoned him to marry Shi Yuming.
The system gloated: [Yes, Master wasn't wrong, he is indeed Ouyang Feng.]
Lu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. What a small world! It seems that souls are still wandering around.
"I believe it, but what does the so-called past life and present life have to do with what we're talking about: seizing power?" Lu Qingyan changed the subject, not wanting to hear him say that anymore.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to talk to someone." Jun Jiuxian looked completely innocent. The previous disappointment and sorrow were nowhere to be found on his face; instead, he had a kind of willfulness.
Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth in anger. She thought Ouyang Feng had remembered everything and recognized her, but it turned out he had just said it casually.
Jun Jiuxian couldn't help but smile again: "Yan Yan, actually I'm a very loyal and affectionate person."
