Chapter 220 Meeting
After Quan Xiyao left, Shen Yuling also returned to Haiyu City.
Some time ago, Ye Jinshu hurried back to the Northwest due to some urgent official business.
For some reason, Shen Yuling always felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart, which followed her like a shadow and made it difficult for her to calm down.
In the afternoon, the sunlight shines through the mottled branches and leaves, onto the Hibiscus Pavilion, creating an interweaving of light and shadow.
Shen Yuling was leaning against the railing in the pavilion, casually holding a handful of fish food in her hand and casually scattering it into the pond.
After a while, ripples appeared on the water surface, and many carp came up happily, scrambling for the delicious food.
At this moment, a maid hurried over, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Madam, there is a master outside the mansion who wants to see you."
Shen Yuling was immersed in her own thoughts. Hearing this, she blurted out without thinking, "No."
Ever since she met Quan Xiyao by chance, the problems she had been avoiding seemed to be gradually approaching, making her more and more uneasy.
The maid looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment.
He continued, "That gentleman is accompanied by the county governor."
Shen Yuling's originally lazy figure instantly stood up straight, frowned tightly, and looked at the maid.
A bad premonition suddenly surged in my heart, and my voice unconsciously sank: "What does that adult... look like?"
Before the maid could respond, a deep and familiar voice, like a heavy hammer, broke the silence around them: "Mrs. Shen wants to know what I look like, can't she just look at me?"
Shen Yuling's body trembled, and the fish food in her hand fell uncontrollably into the pond because of the familiar sound.
She stood there frozen, forgetting to move for a moment.
Seeing this, the maid silently retreated behind her.
Quan Minghe walked into the pavilion alone.
The county magistrate stood outside the pavilion respectfully, waiting.
The moment Quan Minghe saw Chen Yangxi's face with his own eyes, he clenched his back teeth tightly, trying his best to suppress his inner emotions, but he could not conceal the shock and complexity in his eyes.
Chen Yangxi, Shen Yuling, who is she?
This question, like a sharp dagger, pierced straight into his heart.
Shen Yuling said softly: "Everyone leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maids filed out, and soon, they were the only two left in the pavilion.
Quan Minghe stared at this face intently, his eyes full of complex emotions, including longing, anger, and deep doubts: "Are you my Xixi or my Xixi?"
Shen Yuling lowered her head and didn't look him in the eye: "My name is Shen Xiangwan, Your Majesty has recognized the wrong person."
“Shen Xiangwan?”
Quan Minghe's voice suddenly rose, questioning, "Then why would my son call you mother? Shen Yuling, at this point, can't you tell me the truth?"
Shen Yuling was silent, her heart struggling immensely at this moment. The memories that she had buried deep in her heart came flooding back like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Quan Minghe approached her step by step, and every step seemed to step on her heart: "Xixi is you, and Xixi is also you. I have loved you from the beginning to the end, and you are here for the mission, right?"
He thought that he and Chen Yangxi were in love with each other, but now it seems that maybe it was just her calculation?
There was a hint of pain in Kwon Myung Hyuk's voice that was difficult to conceal.
As he spoke, he held her shoulders with both hands, with such force that he seemed to want to rub her into his body: "Shen Yuling, have you ever loved me?"
He had asked this question before and already knew the answer: Shen Yuling didn't love him.
So he asked again: "Chen Yangxi, have you ever loved me?"
When Shen Yuling heard this long-lost name, her heart trembled, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at him.
Quan Minghe's eyes were red, and his usual strong look had long gone. At this moment, there was a deep fragility in his eyes, as if they would shatter into countless pieces with the slightest touch.
After Shen Yuling recovered Shen Yangxi's memory, she has been on the run.
Because no one knew that she was Chen Yangxi, she tried her best not to think about that memory and just thought that Chen Yangxi was dead.
But at this moment, Quan Minghe in front of him knew that she was Chen Yangxi, and she seemed unable to escape the memory no matter what.
The memory that she had deliberately forgotten suddenly rushed back to her mind.
The love she once had now made her feel heartbroken.
The gentle and doting Quan Minghe in the past and the domineering and strong Quan Minghe now made the emotions that she tried hard to control overflow uncontrollably again.
Once upon a time, she consciously calculated Quan Minghe's emotions, making him feel distressed and heartbroken, making him feel sweet and bitter, and letting Quan Minghe's emotions be under her control.
But now, her own heart was aching uncontrollably, and no matter how hard she tried to control it, it was of no avail.
Her voice trembled slightly as she whispered, "Chen Yangxi loves Quan Minghe, but Shen Yuling doesn't."
Quan Minghe sneered: "Shen Yuling, can you really tell your own heart apart? From the beginning to the end, you only love me."
Shen Yuling's eyes flashed with determination, and she looked straight into his eyes: "Quan Minghe, do you love Shen Yuling?"
"I came to this world again, without the pure persistence of Chen Yangxi. I am full of calculations and I will do anything to get what I want. When you know all my calculations, do you still love me or are you unwilling to be calculated by a woman?"
She paused, the emotions in her eyes becoming more complicated: "If it was Shen Yangxi, would you let her get pregnant without her consent? Do you love Shen Yuling, or do you want to possess her?"
Today's Shen Yuling is a Shen Yuling who has worked hard in the modern world and has seen through human nature.
She really couldn't tell whether Kwon Minghe loved her or something else.
All she knew was that Kwon Myung Hyuk had never truly respected her wishes.
