Chapter 209: Confrontation

Translator: Lonelytree

Jing Tian turned his eyes away. He was only being a gentleman. Gu Yan’s clothes became more undone as she wailed on the ground.

Ye Qian tried to pull Gu Yan up but the latter refused to move. She cried and cried. Ye Qian turned to Jing Tian for help. “Master Qi…”

Jing Tian turned his head away from them. His hands were shaking violently under his sleeves, I could see that. I grabbed the bedsheet from the bed and draped it over Gu Yan’s body. I grabbed Gu Yan easily up from the ground. Gu Yan was not as heavy as I expected. In other words, Ye Qian was only acting. She could have helped Gu Yan if she wanted to.

“Sister Gu Yan, are you trying to use your tears to force Master Qi against his will? How is that different from our kidnappers back then?” I asked in an even tone, overwhelming Gu Yan’s cries. Gu Yan stopped.

“Nanxing…” Ye Qian immediately tried to stop me. I placed Gu Yan on the bed. I didn’t allow her to stop me. I grabbed the quilt to wrap it over her body and then added, “Sister Ye Qian, why don’t you let me say a few words? You want Jing Tian to talk to Gu Yan and see what happened. There is no use trying to wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.” My hands grabbed Gu Yan’s arms under the quilt to stop her from struggling. I looked at Gu Yan with a faint smile. “Sister Gu Yan, why must you marry Jing Tian? Even if he hates and despises you, you have to marry him? Why? He is not an emperor and there is no throne for him to inherit.

“So why are you doing this? You’ve worn yourself out with illness, and yet you still want to seduce him. Why? If I have to guess, you are trying to paint him as a heartless man. You are only to find a way out for yourself and cover up the fact that it was you who wronged Jing Tian back then. Am I right?”

Gu Yan shoved me back and glared at me. “What slander and nonsense! Do you think Jing Tian really likes you?! He is merely thanking you for your help back then. He doesn’t really like you!”

I took 2 steps back away from her bed. “But Jing Tian is with me and not with you.”

Gu Yan was so angry she started to cough.

Ye Qian patted her back and pleaded at me. “Nanxing, can you please stop talking? You are making it worse.”

I looked at them and my smile turned cold. “Sister Ye Qian, how come you are making it sound like I am the one bullying her instead? No one knows better than Sister Gu Yan what happened in the cave back then. Why Jing Tian is treating you like this, you should know the answer. Jing Tian didn’t spell it out because he is kind. But please don’t take advantage of his kindness.

“You knew I was outside the door but you still tried to throw yourself at Jing Tian. What’s your goal? It was to create a misunderstanding between me and Jing Tian to ruin our relationship. After that, you’d have a chance. Am I right? Sister Ye Qian, It’s not that I want to harm her but she has been trying to harm me.”

My gaze on Gu Yan deepened. “Sister Gu Yan, you must be so envious of my cousin, Nanyang. Even though her reputation is gone, she still manages to marry into the Jing Family. As long as her goal is achieved, she can slowly plot what to do next.

“Unfortunately, you are not even as bright as my cousin. You don’t have Jing Tian’s child and can use that as leverage! And I am not as generous as Sister Ye Qian to share my man with another woman. In the matter of love, there is no sharing for me. Jing Tian is mine, in this life and the next! There is no space for negotiation!”

Ye Qian opened her mouth but I stopped her. I still fixed my eyes on Gu Yan. “Back then, I was 5 but I was willing to die for Jing Tian, what about you? In fact, would you be willing to die for him now? You couldn’t do it back then and you can’t do it now. So what right do you have to demand him to be your man? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself first?!”

Then I smiled at her.. I turned around, grabbed Jing Tian’s arm, and left the ward.
