Chapter 389: Why Let Them Go Through This
Ruan Qingqing’s words struck a nerve, rendering her silent.
Blood trailed from An Yan’s feet as she walked, never imagining that the person who once saved her would now deal her a fatal blow.
She found it hard to breathe now, her body failing her, knees giving way as she knelt on the ground.
"Why do all of you covet things that don’t belong to you?" An Yan coughed up blood, then collapsed, "Ruan Qingqing, I treated you as a friend, yet this is how you treat me."
Ruan Qingqing kicked away the dagger in An Yan’s hand and said, "Don’t worry, after today, I will take good care of Mr. Fu for you. No, should I say Shiyan? He will be mine, and I will bear him a few children."
Tears trickled down from the corner of An Yan’s eyes—the first time she had been betrayed by someone close to her.
"Don’t kill the two little ones; they didn’t see you kill me. Let them go."
Facing An Yan’s final plea, Ruan Qingqing didn’t respond; instead, she forcibly dragged An Yan to where the two little ones were.
"An Yan, don’t blame me, blame Shiyan for coming back. I loved him no less than you did; when he hid in the tree to snipe Gu Chengming, I fell in love with him. He was a god in my eyes! I thought if I showed my independence and resilience, he might look my way, but his eyes were only for you. I was so envious, so unwilling! Then when he was in trouble, I thought I had lost my first love, but then he came back, yes, I had hope again. An Yan, I won’t let your child live; then he won’t accept any other woman!"
She ran to the wall, dragged over a barrel of oil, intending to burn them alive and destroy all evidence, sustaining some burns herself to avoid suspicion.
