"You do have reasons for revenge, yes," An Meng said, "but you've taken the wrong path. Xie Yun is not someone you can count on. If you want a handy tool, I'm afraid your idea will be in vain."
That being said, Lin Yiyi's plan involves more than just Xie Yun.
Layers of cold sweat broke out from her back, soaking her clothes. Lin Yiyi's head was buzzing and her lips were moving but she couldn't speak.
An Meng looked at her calmly and walked towards the door.
"Wait, wait!" Seeing An Meng about to leave, Lin Yiyi suddenly felt a trace of resentment and unwillingness in her heart, and said in a hollow voice, "Haven't you ever thought about it?!"
"What have you thought about?" An Meng stopped and looked back at her.
As if she was about to collapse, Lin Yiyi reached out to hold on to the sink and said, "Even Huo Minxuan and I can see it, do you think Xie Yun can't see it?"
An Meng raised her eyebrows slightly and waited calmly for her to continue.
"It's as if you know everything," Lin Yiyi said with a twisted smile. "You can turn the situation around at the critical moment. Who would be willing to let go of such a precious child?"
Even the bathroom in Lihua is luxuriously decorated. The bright lights reflected on the smooth tiles around it are a bit dazzling for a moment.
Seeing that An Meng didn't answer, Lin Yiyi stood up straighter and became even more excited: "Before, you chased Huo Minxuan for so many years and made such an ugly scene. I thought that after you and Xie Yun got married, there would be chaos."
“…”
"I didn't expect that you two were so calm and even seemed to be in a rather sentimental relationship." Lin Yiyi's gaze was fixed on An Meng's face, as if it wanted to pierce into her eyes and get into her brain.
That look was quite creepy. An Meng turned her head away and thought to herself, how did you come up with the four words "lingering and sad"?
"An Meng, do you think Xie Yun really loves you?"
An Meng looked at her indifferently.
"Is it exploitation, or is it love?" Lin Yiyi stepped forward a few steps to An Meng and whispered, "I think you know much more clearly than I do, right?"
Unlike Lin Yiyi's imagination, An Meng's expression did not fluctuate much. She stared at Lin Yiyi's delicate eyebrows and eyes for a long time.
Lin Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at: "You..."
"This question," An Meng retracted her gaze obediently, and the next second she suddenly smiled, "You asked me this before, in the lobby of Lihua, remember?"
In an instant, Lin Yiyi's words at that time seemed to ring in the ears of both of them at the same time: Do you think Xie Yun is sincere to you?
An Meng replied at the time: "I don't need that kind of thing."
"Remember?" An Meng said, "My answer remains unchanged."
"I don't need that kind of thing."
At this moment, the expression on Lin Yiyi's face instantly became wonderful: "You, you, you..."
She didn't expect that An Meng would be so stubborn!
What answered her was An Meng's departing back.
After walking out of the bathroom, An Meng looked towards the president's office and saw that the door was locked. Thinking that Xie Yun should be downstairs or in the parking lot, she walked towards the elevator.
Along the way, Lin Yiyi's previous question echoed in An Meng's mind again, and she sighed in self-mockery.
The answers were exactly the same in both scenes, but the moods behind them were completely different.
At the beginning, she really didn't care whether Xie Yun was sincere or not - were you kidding? She needed the sincerity of the task target?
But now, An Meng actually hoped that the truth was just as Lin Yiyi said maliciously - she and Xie Yun were just a fake married couple and partners.
Xie Yun had a heart of stone, so it was only natural that she could go on.
"What took you so long to come out?"
An Meng came to her senses and saw Xie Yun standing next to the elevator.
She said perfunctorily: "I met Lin Yiyi and talked to her for a few words."
Xie Yun pressed the elevator button: "Oh."
"Do you really think Lin Yiyi came here this time sincerely seeking cooperation?" An Meng asked.
"You can try," Xie Yun said, "but you can't just listen to her one side of the story."
"I think so."
[Lin Yiyi is still with Huo Minxuan on the surface, but she's secretly looking for us. How is this different from a double agent?]
[She's a playboy who'll side with anyone who can help her achieve her goals. Be careful of being stabbed in the back.]
With a ding, the elevator arrived and two people walked in, one in front and one behind.
After pondering Lin Yiyi's words, An Meng hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Xie Yun, from the beginning to the end, have you never doubted me?"
"Um?"
An Meng didn't look at him and whispered, "From the beginning to the end, why do I know so many things?"
Hearing her say this, Xie Yun was obviously stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me."
[I've actually thought about this question before, but I never really thought about it in depth.]
From the very beginning, An Meng never regarded this world as a real world.
After all, it's a novel, and you are the player. Facing a group of NPCs, is it necessary to care about what they think of you?
kuku just needs to complete the mission, and completing the mission is the real thing.
Later, the longer she stayed here, the more she integrated into the community. Everyone she met had their own difficulties and concerns. This real feeling and experience completely shattered An Meng's initial cynical mentality.
Her initial mentality was indeed too arrogant.
Until they got out of the elevator and arrived at the parking lot, Xie Yun remained silent, hesitating whether to tell An Meng the truth.
If she were to tell her that he, Zhou Yucheng and Qian Duo could hear her inner thoughts, would An Meng become angry or even upset?
Inexplicably, Xie Yun suddenly remembered that some time ago, An Meng hid in the quilt and cried secretly because she couldn't remember who her "master" was.
Forget it, don’t tell her yet.
"You must have your own channels," Xie Yun said in a deep voice after careful consideration, "otherwise, that Taoist priest wouldn't have said that you could change my fate."
Xie Yun's answer made An Meng feel relieved, but at the same time, she also felt a secret hesitation in her heart.
The brief confrontation in the bathroom just now and Xie Yun's words quickly made her have strange associations.
An Meng glared at Xie Yun fiercely.
[Wow, Xie Yun said before that he kind of liked me. So he really wanted me to change his fate?]
[Hehehe, Lin Yiyi's attempt to sow discord is somewhat correct.]
Xie Yun touched his nose: "..."
Although this is true when you first see it, why does it still sound weird?
His heart sank, and he quickly opened his mouth to make amends: "But when I said I like you a little, it's true, you have to believe me."
