Chapter 507 Princess Anle(1)_1
Her words were meant to embarrass Lin Yuan, but once she spoke them, she felt it was herself who became embarrassed. After all, Xia Zheng had given Lin Yuan something of his, but what about her? Aside from following him around like a lapdog all these years, when had she ever received even a smile or a word of praise from him?
Su Qiuyu lifted her gaze, her normally dewy eyes now veiled with a pitiable mist due to her illness. With this additional haze, her eyes held a blurry beauty that seemed even more appealing than her usual feigned tears, making Lin Yuan marvel. She wondered if Xia Zheng would be moved by Su Qiuyu’s appearance.
However, as soon as Su Qiuyu opened her mouth, this allure was shattered by her scoff, "Heh, Lin Yuan, do you really think you’ve captured Brother Zheng’s heart? Let me tell you, he’s just tired of the Capital city. After seeing so many high-born ladies, he found a country girl like you novel. Once he tires of you too, hmph, you’ll end up even more miserable than I am!"
Lin Yuan laughed nonchalantly, "Perhaps, but I, Lin Yuan, am not the kind of woman whose life depends on a man. Even if Xia Zheng and I have no future together, I can still return to myself and live the life I want."
"I certainly hope so."
With those final words for Lin Yuan, Su Qiuyu could no longer sustain her weak body and collapsed onto the pillow. Lin Yuan glanced at her and left the room.
Yaner timidly watched Su Qiuyu gasping for breath, lying askew, knowing she had botched the task and bowed her head, not daring to look at her.
"Yaner."
