Chapter 1: Broken Love
Translator: Vesper
“What did you say? Say it again,” Ning ng Yao stared at the man in front of her with her eyes wide open. Her whole body trembled and her eyes carried disbelief.
Ling Luo looked at Ning ng Yao’s disbelieving expression and opened his mouth. The words that were at the tip of his tongue had trouble coming out in the end.
The person beside him nudged him gently and he nodded his head again. Determined, he said, “Yao’er, you know my situation. To inherit the position as an heir, I have to marry Xiao Zi Xuan. That’s why...that’s why...”
Ning ng Yao let out a mournful laugh while looking at Ling Luo who was hesitant and finished the sentence for him, “That’s why you want to beco your concubine?”
Ling Luo imdiately shook his head, “No...not as a concubine, but an equal wife.”
“Hahaha, equal wife?” Ning n Yao staggered backward, her eyes dead set on Ling Luo, “It looks like you don’t know well enough.”
What kind of person was Ning ng Yao? Crossing two lives, would she willingly share the person she liked with another woman?
She and Ling Luo were lovers in their previous lives. They were about to get married when they got into an accident and arrived in this unfamiliar era. Here, he was the young master of Lingyun Marquis Residence, receiving care and pamper, while she was an abandoned orphan.
After the accident, he remained good towards her without any care about his status. Loving only each other, she thought the both of them could be the sa as how they were in their previous life.
It had been six years since they arrived in this unfamiliar era. She had not changed, but he had. To obtain power and position, he wanted to have another woman other than her.
When had Ning ng Yao fall to this degree?
“Yao’er, listen to . I love you, but it’s just that...” Looking at Ning ng Yao’s eyes that were slowly turning cold, Ling Luo walked up to her and grabbed her arm, anxiously trying to explain.
“Love? Ling Luo, the one who doesn’t deserve to speak about love is you. You say you love ? But you love power and position above all else. To think that you still do not know . Asking to share the man I like with other won, that’s just impossible; I have my own pride,” Ning ng Yao snatched her hand back and said coldly.
Ling Luo looked at the hand that she had kept away and his body turned sowhat stiff. “Yao’er, why are you being like this? Polygamy is normal here.”
The pupils in Ning ng Yao’s eyes shrunk as she looked right at Ling Luo, “Polygamy? Normal? Then you should continue living the life you regard as normal; don’t co and bother anymore.”
After spitting those words out, Ning ng Yao thought she was strong and wouldn’t feel sad, but when she heard her own words out loud, her heart ached to the point she was having difficulty breathing.
She was unfortunate. Since when did his thoughts begin to change, matching the pedantic and ignorant ideals of this era?
“Yao’er, why won’t you understand ? I’m just doing what’s best for us,” Ling Luo looked at Ning ng Yao’s eyes that were becoming more unfeeling and his frustrations grew before he finally roared at her angrily.
Ning ng Yao took a step forward at a ti before raising her hand to deliver two heavy slaps on his cheeks. “What’s best for us? Ling Luo, you’re only thinking for yourself. From now on, we have no relations. The next ti we et, we are just strangers.”
She looked at Ling Luo deeply, her pair of eyes no longer having any affection for him and there was only an unfeeling coldness. Her long white cotton skirt fluttered against the wind, making her seem like a butterfly which landed lightly onto a flower.
Ling Luo covered his cheeks as his eyes watched Ning ng Yao leave. He neither chased after her nor asked her to stay, but what he didn’t know was that his decision of letting her go would make them estranged forever.
Ning ng Yao did not know how she managed to arrive back at ho. She was at a loss while she looked at her small and delicate courtyard.
Looking at it, Ning ng Yao laughed to herself. She thought he would always be by her side, just like how she had wished. But now, it seed that reality slapped her good in the face.
