Chapter 129
The subtle tremors in the hearts of Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and Bai Bing’er did not show on their faces.
But…
Standing beside them, ng Xiaoling froze.
After all, she could also hear Lin Tian’s inner voice at that mont.
The instant she heard it, she had a sudden realization—wasn’t this the sa voice that had called out to her earlier at the entrance of the banquet hall?
Back then, Lin Tian had been standing right next to Bai Bing’er and Xuan Yuan Qingya. ng Xiaoling’s impression of him was still vivid.
Can I actually hear Lin Tian’s inner voice?
ng Xiaoling was at a loss for a mont.
She wasn’t timid by nature, but ever since Bai Bing’er had exposed her childishness in the past, she had carried a lingering sense of unease, especially now with Bai Bing’er standing beside her.
In such a situation, hearing Lin Tian’s thoughts suddenly felt like stumbling upon an earth-shattering secret.
Does Lin Tian actually have those kinds of thoughts about Bai Bing’er? And not just her—Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and all three of them?
A strange look flickered in ng Xiaoling’s eyes. Logically speaking, won like Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and Bai Bing’er were bound to attract countless admirers.
Logically speaking, won like them were bound to attract countless admirers. Even as a woman, it wouldn’t be surprising to feel a twinge of admiration. It was unavoidable.
But…
Lin Tian falling for three won at once? That’s a bit much, isn’t it?
And then, in his inner voice, he says things like, “Wait for .”
ng Xiaoling blinked, a hint of disdain crossing her face.
After all, she knew nothing about what had happened between Lin Tian, Shang Chan, Zhao ngng, and Bai Bing’er. Naturally, she assud that Lin Tian was just a toad lusting after swan at.
Especially since Bai Bing’er was involved.
To ng Xiaoling, Bai Bing’er had always been a towering figure who rcilessly exposed her childishness in the past. She feared her like a demon king whose shadow lingered in her heart for a long ti.
It wasn’t until after the auction when ng Youqian helped her untie that knot in her heart.
Now, ng Xiaoling admired Bai Bing’er and wanted to beco like her.
Calling her an idol wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
And Lin Tian actually dared to covet her idol? How could ng Xiaoling not feel disgusted?
The more she looked at Lin Tian in the distance, the more uncomfortable she felt. She suddenly felt the urge to tell Bai Bing’er to stay away from him.
Once a thought like that takes root in a young girl’s mind, it’s impossible to shake off.
A mont later, she hesitated, then finally gathered her courage and gently tugged at the hem of Bai Bing’er’s dress.
“Hmm?”
Bai Bing’er turned her head slightly, her expression cool and languid.
She always carried herself this way when she was in front of Lin Tian.
With Lin Tian by her side, Bai Bing’er could drift steadily along the illusory river of ti. However, that didn’t an she would compromise her principles by associating with falsehoods and impurities.
She was still Bai Bing’er.
“What is it?”
Bai Bing’er asked faintly.
Hearing Lin Tian’s inner voice had improved her mood, so she was willing to talk to ng Xiaoling a little more.
In the past, even though she found it amusing to tease ng Xiaoling, Bai Bing’er couldn’t be bothered to talk much with her.
She was just a childish little girl. What was there to talk about?
Bai Bing’er’s aloof deanor instantly made ng Xiaoling tense up again.
She pressed her lips together, leaned close to Bai Bing’er’s ear, and whispered:
“Um… Bai Bing’er, you should stay away from Lin Tian. He has bad intentions toward you.”
The mont those words left ng Xiaoling’s lips, Bai Bing’er’s expression turned serious and focused instantly!
In that instant, countless thoughts and speculations surged through her mind.
For example, what exactly did ng Xiaoling an by that?
Why would she know that Lin Tian harbored ill intentions toward her?
Why would she go out of her way to warn her about it?
Bai Bing’er, born with an almost demonic ability to see through people’s hearts, figured out ng Xiaoling’s motive in a heartbeat. It was nothing more than idolizing her.
However, there was one thing Bai Bing’er simply couldn’t make sense of.
Why did ng Xiaoling suddenly say that Lin Tian had bad intentions toward her?
How does she know?
Could it be…?
Bai Bing’er’s eyes narrowed slightly as an audacious guess began to form in her mind. Yet, it felt like the only possible truth!
“ng Xiaoling, how do you know that Lin Tian has bad intentions toward ?”
Bai Bing’er fixed her gaze on ng Xiaoling, her voice soft yet heavy with gravity.
The sudden pressure made ng Xiaoling feel as if she had been dragged back to her carefree days as a little delinquent, only to be exposed by the demon queen, Bai Bing’er.
Her whole body trembled as she whispered, “I…I guessed…the way he looks at you—it’s not right!”
Of course, that was a lie. She didn’t want to share this secret with anyone, not even Bai Bing’er.
How could she casually tell others about being able to hear soone’s inner voice?
Although she despised his thoughts, ng Xiaoling couldn’t deny her curiosity about Lin Tian.
After all, anyone who could hear another person’s inner voice would naturally be intrigued, and ng Xiaoling was no exception.
However, at that mont, her attention was focused on her idol, Bai Bing’er.
…
Upon hearing ng Xiaoling’s answer, Bai Bing’er’s lips curved slightly.
She could see into people’s hearts, so she could easily tell that ng Xiaoling was lying.
But why would ng Xiaoling lie?
There was no need for deep analysis of the reason behind a lie—the act of lying spoke volus.
Perhaps ng Xiaoling, like , can hear Lin Tian’s inner voice.
Bai Bing’er had this thought.
…
In fact, all of the heroines who were involved with Lin Tian had behaved in ways that seed unreasonable to outsiders.
This was especially true when it ca to their feelings for Lin Tian. Those who understood could tell that sothing about it was definitely abnormal.
Take Shang Chan and Zhao ngng, for example.
Lin Tian was technically part of the Zhao family circle as a Xinghai employee. But who had ever heard of a re employee having such a close relationship with the Zhao family’s two precious jewels?
They were close enough that, when Shang Chan and Zhao ngng visited the Xuan Yuan family’s castle, they insisted on bringing Lin Tian along.
Then there was Bai Bing’er.
The events between her and Lin Tian were even stranger.
The dignified heiress of the Bai family ran through the rain to Lin Tian’s room.
Under normal circumstances, would that have happened?
Then there was Xuan Yuan Qingya. She confronted Bai Bing’er and her family at the entrance to the banquet hall…all because of Lin Tian!
These won’s special attention to Lin Tian was far from normal.
From their perspective, being able to hear his inner voice gave them an understanding of him. This naturally led to curiosity and, eventually, an indescribable sense of trust and reliance.
That wasn’t a problem in itself.
But did Xuan Yuan Qingya’s attitude toward Lin Tian make sense from Shang Chan’s point of view?
The eldest daughter of the Xuan Yuan family and Lin Tian, a Zhao family retainer and Xinghai employee, had never t. Now, suddenly, they were this close?
Of course, that didn’t make sense.
Yet, aside from Bai Bing’er, no one had considered that the others might be able to hear Lin Tian’s inner voice, too.
The idea of hearing soone’s inner voice was outrageous enough.
When people are unfamiliar with sothing, they rarely make the connection, no matter how absurd other events may seem.
But now, for the first ti, Bai Bing’er began to suspect that soone else might be able to hear Lin Tian’s thoughts, too.
Why? Because ng Xiaoling and Lin Tian barely knew each other, so why would she suddenly warn her that Lin Tian had bad intentions?
Unless… ng Xiaoling had heard the words Lin Tian had just spoken in his mind.
