Chapter 1069: Inner World
Ling Ruowei was lost in thought.
What will we do then?
Does she intend to give it to her?
Moreover, is it necessary to maintain this absurd identity?
Ling Ruowei dared not think any further.
The hands holding Jiang Yantian trembled slightly.
An unprecedented sense of panic and shame completely overwhelmed her.
No, I have to tell him the truth; I can't deceive him.
Let's just consider that kiss a mistake!
Ling Ruowei led Jiang Yantian directly towards the islands of Manhua Tianhu.
Looking at the pretty face so close to his, Jiang Yantian knew he needed to slow down.
He glanced at the sky; it was only about noon, and there was still some time before sunset.
Today, let's head back to the Hermitage Palace.
Given the current situation, Ling Ruowei will definitely be thinking about how to bring it up with him and explain that she is not his wife.
If that's the case, then let's go with the flow and prevent her from speaking for the time being!
Instead, one must first recognize the feeling of "not being one's own wife".
The title of "Madam" certainly cannot be used indefinitely.
Otherwise, even if Ling Ruowei eventually develops feelings for someone else, she will still feel like she is just a substitute.
Absolutely not.
His women are all independent individuals; there is no such thing as a substitute.
It's time to let my heart be wounded.
As Ling Ruowei flew back, she was indeed thinking about how best to put it.
Now, she could even feel Jiang Yantian's arm around her waist.
And the tingling sensation from his even breathing brushing against her neck.
No!
It can't go on like this!
This needs to be made clear!
We must tell him the truth!
He is not my husband! He is not his wife!
Soon, they arrived at the courtyard they had visited before.
After Ling Ruowei put him down, Jiang Yantian seemed to be still in a daze.
Ling Ruowei took a deep breath.
I tried hard to suppress my racing heartbeat and the flush on my face.
He was about to speak up and completely expose this absurd misunderstanding.
However, just as her cherry lips parted slightly...
The moment the first word is about to be uttered.
Jiang Yantian, who was in her arms, seemed to move slightly.
Followed by.
He loosened his grip around her waist.
Ling Ruowei was slightly taken aback.
Jiang Yantian slowly raised his head.
The tender, affectionate dependence that had filled those deep, dark eyes, as dark as the night sky, was gone.
Instead, it was shrouded in an inescapable sense of bewilderment and gloom.
It even carried a barely noticeable injury!
He gave Ling Ruowei a deep look.
His eyes were incredibly complex, as if they held a thousand unspoken words.
But in the end, it all faded into silence and loss.
He did not call her "Madam" as he had before.
There were no words spoken.
He spoke softly, with a heartbreaking weariness and detachment.
Step back.
The movements were light, yet carried an undeniable resolve.
Ling Ruowei subconsciously reached out to help him.
But he slightly turned his body to avoid it.
Jiang Yantian did not look at Ling Ruowei.
It was as if she didn't exist.
He dragged his "weak" steps.
Silently, step by step, they walked out of the courtyard.
His silhouette stretched long.
Yet it exudes an indescribable loneliness and desolation.
Her silver hair hung loosely over her shoulders.
The black robe with dragon patterns was stained with dust and bits of grass.
It was as if all the energy and spirit had been drained from him.
Only an empty shell remained.
Ling Ruowei just watched him walk out.
He walked to the courtyard fence, but instead of going out immediately, he turned his back to Ling Ruowei.
I tilted my head slightly upwards, gazing at the distant scenery.
The wind on the lake ruffled his silver hair and robes, adding to his desolate air.
Jiang Yantian chuckled inwardly, but remained silent.
They weren't as affectionate as before.
She didn't even call him "Madam" again.
He just stood there quietly.
His back was straight, but he carried a deep sense of fatigue.
It was as if he was bearing immense pain and confusion all by himself.
Her entire aura instantly shifted to one of silent sorrow.
Like a bottomless pool of cold water.
The air seemed to freeze.
Ling Ruowei stood still.
Just look at him.
The feel of his clothing still lingered on my fingertips.
Looking at that silent, lonely figure, exuding a strong aura of "being hurt".
She had prepared a whole host of words to clarify her identity and dispel the misunderstanding, but they instantly got stuck in her throat.
He couldn't utter a single word.
That strong, defiant aura that had just arisen from shame, anger, and panic.
Like a punctured balloon, it deflated instantly.
A strange, complex emotion welled up inside me, a mixture of guilt, panic, and a touch of heartache.
It quietly welled up in my heart.
Is he angry?
Are you still heartbroken?
Because you call him "fellow Daoist"?
Or was it because of my own reaction after that kiss?
She suddenly realized.
In Jiang Yantian's confused state of mind, the kiss on the cliff edge just now might have been his deep expression of affection for his "long-lost" wife.
His fierce resistance and shoving even caused him to fall off a cliff.
In his eyes, it was probably his wife's disgust, rejection, and betrayal of him as her husband!
That's why he remained silent.
Such estrangement.
Such an injury?
Ling Ruowei's heart clenched instantly.
She wanted to go forward and explain.
But looking at his desolate and lonely figure, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
Seeing that she didn't explain the matter, Jiang Yantian felt it was time to leave.
We can't stay any longer.
Under Ling Ruowei's breathless gaze, Jiang Yantian slowly turned around.
The sunlight outlined his handsome profile, his silver hair falling down.
His gaze, like an invisible carving knife, lingered deeply on Ling Ruowei.
It was as if they wanted to capture her current appearance, especially her slightly furrowed brows.
And those beautiful eyes, filled with confusion and a hint of barely perceptible heartache.
He will forever etch everything about her into the depths of his soul.
That glance made Ling Ruowei's heart clench suddenly.
It felt like I was being gripped tightly by something invisible!
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Just as Ling Ruowei was about to succumb to the intense, heart-pounding gaze.
Jiang Yantian spoke slowly.
There was no address of "Madam".
No doubt.
There was no lingering attachment.
Only two words.
Deep and clear.
Yet it carried a heavy, almost farewell-like weight that left everyone completely bewildered: "Take care!"
The words fell.
Before Ling Ruowei could react.
He didn't even glance at her again, as if severing the last ties between them.
He turned around resolutely and stepped out of the courtyard gate!
His back view was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
He strode quickly toward the edge of the island.
They quickly disappeared into the shadows of the fence and the sea of flowers.
"Take care of yourself?"
Ling Ruowei was completely stunned.
They were frozen in place as if under a spell.
I kept pondering those two words.
Each word was like an icicle striking the frozen surface of my heart!
What do you mean?
What does he mean by that?
Has he regained his memories?
Knowing he had mistaken the person for someone else, he chose to leave quietly, leaving behind a final blessing?
Or did he think that his "wife" had changed her mind, and, feeling disheartened, chose to let go?
Or perhaps for some other reason that she simply cannot understand?
To be honest, being pushed away by someone you love is a very painful thing.
Full of joy, yet pushed away, let alone after a kiss, suddenly pushed away.
That was an act of absolute resistance.
How could a couple who love each other so much end up like this?
I don't understand!
I have absolutely no idea what he's thinking!
This ambiguous and absurd relationship.
They hadn't even had a chance to tear off that false identity.
And so, it came to an abrupt end in an even more ambiguous way!
