Chapter 144: Chapter 144 I Don’t Want to Be a Stand-In
rvin spoke with profound aning, “One’s aura cannot deceive anyone, and the mindset when interacting with others is very difficult to imitate. The confidence carved into one’s bones, if not from the nobles, then what?”
“You are not only a noble, but also an extraordinary one. From birth, you never needed to please anyone, and you had a learned and broad-minded ntor by your side, soone with a vision far beyond that of ordinary folks. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have developed such confident and open-minded poise.”
At first, Lin Fu thought rvin was spouting nonsense, but by the end, she couldn’t help but laugh happily.
“Ha ha ha…”
She really wanted to tell rvin that the reason she was like this was because in her previous life, she lived in a free, equal, great nation.
But she couldn’t say these words.
“What are you laughing about?” rvin was baffled by her laughter.
“You’re wrong, I co from a very backward and remote star system, because I have a purple artifact that changes fate…” She suddenly paused, her gaze sharpening, “rvin, why are you so good to ?”
She could sense that rvin’s personality was likely hard to approach.
Yet he had been protecting her with every step.
There was no such thing as unexplained kindness in the world.
“Don’t say I deserve it—I know my own worth very well,” Lin Fu preempted rvin’s response with a heartfelt plea, “Just tell ! Otherwise, I won’t be at ease. I’m afraid of being deceived and having to pay a greater price in return.”
rvin sighed and pointed to an elegantly designed rest area ahead, “Let’s go sit over there.”
“Okay!”
The outdoor resting area had vending machines selling non-alcoholic drinks, and rvin bought two bottles, one for each of them.
“You remind of my sister, I an in character, not in appearance.”
Lin Fu, who was drinking her beverage, nearly choked, “Cough cough cough… It can’t be that lodramatic, can it?”
“What?”
“Nothing, go on, what about your sister? Even though I’m similar in personality to her, you don’t have to be nice to !” She didn’t like being soone’s substitute.
It sounded too much like a soap opera.
If that was the case, she’d have to reconsider her attitude towards rvin in the future.
“She’s dead!”
rvin said bluntly, “Five years ago, she was kidnapped. I chased after her, trying to rescue her, but ultimately failed…” By the end, rvin covered his face with his hands, his voice filled with painful suppression.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought it up.” Lin Fu lost the desire to drink her beverage, “But you must have avenged her…”
“No, I can never avenge her in this lifeti because it was at my own hands that she died.” rvin suddenly looked up, his handso face with its sharp features was filled with a gloomy aura, his eyes bloodshot as if ready to tear soone apart.
Lin Fu was stunned into silence.
“That’s the answer to your first question, whether nobles put interests above everything else. My answer is, everything has a price. My sister was still so young, the darling of the family, spoiled by thousands. Yet when she fell into the hands of a villain, when the villain’s demands couldn’t be t by the family, the decision was made to eliminate the threat, including her.”
Lin Fu instinctively felt a chilling sensation run through her, the drink in her hand as cold as ice.
rvin looked up and locked eyes with her.
His deep eyes conveyed endless pain, self-reproach, and guilt.
These five years must have been an unbearably tough ti for him.
Living in constant agony.
“Don’t be sad.” rvin’s gaze involuntarily overlapped with Lin Fu’s brother from her previous life. The person before her transford into the image of her brother, looking at her with eyes full of pain, and self-reproach.
