Chapter 229 Reminiscing the Past
Shen Yuling raised her eyes and met Quan Minghe's passionate, yet faintly pleading gaze.
It felt like something hit my heart gently, and I was dazed for a moment.
I suddenly let out a sigh in my heart.
I look down on myself a little.
At the beginning, I once asked Quan Minghe whether he liked the innocent Shen Yangxi or the experienced Shen Yuling.
And wasn't I also thinking about the former Quan Minghe?
After all, I have received the purest love before.
So no matter what Quan Minghe does now, there will always be a thorn in her heart.
When she was with Ye Jinshu at the beginning, she was originally trying it out, wanting to see if she could forget her feelings for Quan Minghe and devote herself wholeheartedly to a new relationship.
Ye Jinshu was very nice to her.
But it seemed that no matter how much he gave, she could never say the word "love" from the bottom of her heart.
She and Quan Minghe both have pasts that the other does not want to touch.
Quan Minghe has three palaces and six courtyards, and she has also had physical intimacy with Feng Moheng and Ye Jinshu.
Everything in the past was like an insurmountable wall, standing between them and making it impossible for them to return to the way they were before.
Therefore, Shen Yuling chose to escape.
She didn't want to see Quan Minghe again, and she didn't want to get involved in love again.
The moment the task was completed, as her memory came back to her, Shen Yuling's heart suddenly felt empty.
I lost my goal and didn't even know why I came here.
She felt confused.
Because I first came to this world for Ye Lan Ze, but later I found that Ye Lan Ze had passed away.
In modern times, she has successfully avenged her parents.
In this way, staying in ancient times or returning to modern times does not seem to make much difference to her.
Even her time in ancient times was much longer than in modern times.
So, when 001 suggested that she stay in ancient times, she stayed with the idea of making more money in her life.
Did she give Quan Minghe the opportunity to entangle her?
Kwon Myung Hyuk stood in front of her, staring down at her.
Quan Minghe actually felt that he had not changed. He treated Chen Yangxi with gentleness, respect, care and love because he knew that she loved him too and she would never leave him.
If he had known that she was only here for a mission, he would have tried every possible way to keep her.
Instead of being so passive like now!
Even if Quan Minghe gave her the initiative now, and did not force her to be intimate with him or to return to the palace, he was just playing the emotional card with her and retreating to advance.
She seemed to be lost in thought, with empty eyes and a daze.
Quan Minghe couldn't help but reach out his hand.
His slender fingers gently touched her eyelashes.
Shen Yuling only felt a tingling sensation and blinked a few times uncontrollably.
Kwon Myung-hyuk seemed to be able to see his own shadow in her pupils.
Shen Yuling didn't want to deny that her heart was stirred because of Quan Minghe. This was not something she could control. The only thing she could control was to stay away from him.
She turned her head away and whispered, "I don't want to."
Quan Minghe lowered his long eyelashes to hide the sadness in his eyes, and his expression deliberately looked more lonely and hurt.
He tried hard to force a smile and said reluctantly, "It's okay if you don't want to. I will wait until the day you are willing."
Shen Yuling's pupils shrank slightly.
Is this really something Kwon Myung Hyuk could say?
She was used to his dominance. Even the last time she saw him, when he knew she was Chen Yangxi, he was not so humble and gentle to her at that time.
There is more grief and indignation, and questioning.
Shen Yuling frowned slightly and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see his hurt expression. She always felt a little sad in her heart.
But in a flash, she came to her senses.
No!
What is she thinking about? !
How could she feel sorry for a man?
Quan Minghe must be getting better and better at pretending. She wants to see how long he can pretend like this, a year? Five years? Another ten years...
When Quan Minghe saw her close her eyes, he smiled.
My dear, will your heart be moved too?
He leaned over slightly and rubbed the tip of his nose against hers in an intimate manner.
He said in a gentle voice: "Meimei, close your eyes, but do you want me to kiss you?" There was a hint of teasing and deep affection in his words.
Shen Yuling's eyelashes trembled and she wanted to push him away.
Suddenly, just as the atmosphere became more ambiguous, a melodious sound of music suddenly came from outside.
It is the signal for the Oiran performance to begin.
Shen Yuling suddenly opened her eyes and pushed Quan Minghe away with force.
"The Oiran show has started. I'm here to watch the show."
Quan Minghe was slightly stunned.
"Okay, I'll watch it with you."
The two walked to the window and looked out through the exquisite window lattice.
I saw the open-air stage outside was brightly lit, as bright as day.
At first, when Shen Yuling heard the prelude of the music, she didn't think much of it and just thought it was an ordinary performance.
But when the courtesan walked lightly onto the stage and danced to the music, her eyes were instantly attracted.
What surprised her even more was that in addition to the graceful courtesan, there was also a tall and straight man on the stage.
They were performing a situational drama, and the one the courtesan was dancing to was "The Drunken Concubine"!
Shen Yuling's eyes widened slightly.
Isn't this scene and this dance exactly what she danced for Kwon Myung-hyuk?
Quan Minghe actually reproduced the scene at that time.
Although the performances of the oiran and the man had been appropriately adapted in some details, the familiar melody and movements still brought her back to the past.
Kwon Myung-hyuk stood behind her and saw every change in her expression.
He bent down slightly and whispered in her ear: "Sure enough, you never lost your memory. You really fooled me."
"Miaomiao."
His voice was low and magnetic, and he spoke the word "姩姩" word by word.
Shen Yuling watched the performance of the courtesan on the stage, and her thoughts instantly drifted back to the past.
At that time, Quan Minghe was arrogant and domineering, and she was also strong-willed and unwilling to admit defeat. Her competitive spirit was ignited the moment she saw him.
She wanted to win his heart, and even wanted to play with his emotions, to control the emperor's joys and sorrows in her own hands.
Watching Kwon Myung-hyuk being sad, grief-stricken, or happy and sweet because of the drama she directed and acted in, she actually felt a secret pleasure deep in her heart.
Do I have a masochistic tendency?
Do you like people who are cold to you in the early stages?
Shen Yuling suddenly began to doubt her own preferences.
At first, Feng Moheng was very cold to her, but she also enjoyed the feeling of playing with Feng Moheng in the palm of her hand.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuling shook her head slightly.
No, she just has the habits that almost every man finds difficult to get rid of - the desire to conquer, the desire to control, the desire to gain the upper hand in the game of emotions.
She pretended to be calm and said calmly: "I thought you knew it a long time ago."
Quan Minghe raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
So, Meimei, don't blame me for using the same method to steal your heart...
