Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: The Truth Revealed
Just when she was feeling displeased, she suddenly felt a warm sensation around her lips and realized that Chen Tianlong had kissed her. Undoubtedly, Chen Tianlong wanted Li Bingshuang to know that he was not just saying it, but was treating her sincerely and genuinely.
In their villa’s living room, the two completed a deeply passionate kiss. If Li Bingshuang hadn’t been holding back, she might truly have wanted to have a dramatic confrontation with Chen Tianlong.
After sending Li Bingshuang back to her room, Chen Tianlong planned to sneak into Lin Wushuang’s room but found the lights inside were already off.
"Why are the lights off?" Chen Tianlong felt a bit regretful and turned to leave.
But just at that moment, a silhouette suddenly darted out from the side, followed by a loud "Whoa!" which startled Chen Tianlong so much he almost kicked out, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and held back.
"Tianlong, were you planning to kick Xiaoyu to death?" Lu Xiaoyu pouted and said.
"Ah? No, Xiaoyu, I thought it was...."
"Haha, just kidding...."
Lu Xiaoyu laughed, then knocked on Lin Wushuang’s door and called out, "Wushuang, stop pretending to sleep, you’ve seen Tianlong come back. Stop faking, open the door, or else he’ll come to my room next, so deal with it?"
Sure enough, just as Lu Xiaoyu’s words dropped, the lights in the room turned on.
Soon after, the door was opened, and Lin Wushuang appeared in her pajamas with a bitter smile. Lu Xiaoyu quickly made a ghost face, then turned around and said, "Alright, Wushuang, seize the opportunity, Tianlong, I don’t want to hear the door opening again."
Lu Xiaoyu’s words were clear to the two of them, making Lin Wushuang blush without a doubt. Lu Xiaoyu was always so straightforward yet so genuine.
"Hehe, that will depend if your Wushuang is up for it!" Chen Tianlong deliberately said.
"Hmph, who isn’t up for it, get in here." With that, she directly pulled Chen Tianlong in with one hand and slammed the door shut with a bang.
That night, the two accomplished another significant matter.
Early the next morning, Chen Tianlong walked out of Lin Wushuang’s room, and Li Bingshuang was still seated in the living room, looking like she had something heavy on her mind.
Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered something, previously when he was at Huishan, whether that dream was real or not, and whether Wu Mengting, as Li Bingshuang mentioned, really absorbed Demonic Qi for him.
But why didn’t he have any memory of it?
"Bingshuang, morning!" Chen Tianlong smiled at Li Bingshuang.
"Morning." Li Bingshuang raised her head slightly; earlier, she had a strange dream where she informed Chen Tianlong about Wu Mengting in the dream, and upon waking up, she truly did not know if it was a dream, yet felt it very real.
Because normally dreams become blurry after waking up, but that particular dream seemed like a memory, lingering in her mind. Yet Li Bingshuang didn’t dare ask Chen Tianlong like this, afraid he might recall something.
Chen Tianlong approached Li Bingshuang and held her hand, then he smiled slightly and said, "Bingshuang, actually, I have something to ask you."
"Ah? What is it?" Li Bingshuang looked at Chen Tianlong’s expression as if something was off.
"No need to be nervous," Chen Tianlong seemed to perceive something suspicious from Li Bingshuang’s anxious gaze and added, "Do you know Wu Mengting?"
"Huh?"
Li Bingshuang dreaded this; if Chen Tianlong really pursued the matter concerning Wu Mengting, she really didn’t know how to cope or how they might respond.
"You’re clearly surprised, so you must know her. Bingshuang, I trust you the most, and I hope you won’t deceive me." Chen Tianlong prepared Li Bingshuang for the possibility, thereby causing her great inner conflict.
"Well, this...that...."
As expected, after hearing what Chen Tianlong said, Li Bingshuang hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to explain.
"Remember not to deceive me, you are the one I trust the most." Chen Tianlong finished speaking and gave Li Bingshuang a peck, after which Li Bingshuang had even less reason to deceive Chen Tianlong.
"Hoo...."
Li Bingshuang took a deep, soothing breath, realizing that Chen Tianlong certainly must have learned something; she really shouldn’t deceive him any further.
"Bingshuang, actually that dream was real. I just wanted to confirm, is what you said true? No need to speak, just nod or shake your head." To lessen Li Bingshuang’s distress, Chen Tianlong opted for a different approach.
Li Bingshuang hesitated briefly before finally nodding.
"Hoo...."
This time, it was Chen Tianlong who sighed with relief. If Wu Mengting was indeed his girlfriend, the matter of absorbing Demonic Qi needed clarification, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Bingshuang, can you tell me the truth? I really want to know about that lost memory, the silhouette I dreamt of every night. I know it’s Wu Mengting, but exactly what past did I have with her? Can you tell me, because living like this is truly difficult for me." Chen Tianlong pleaded earnestly.
Li Bingshuang, being a kind-hearted girl, couldn’t hold firm when faced with such a plea from her beloved. She embraced Chen Tianlong and said, "Chen Tianlong, don’t be like this...but I...I promised her I wouldn’t say anything."
"Let me tell him."
Amid Li Bingshuang’s dilemma, a gentle voice mingled with a touch of determination came from behind.
The two raised their heads suddenly and saw Lin Wushuang walking over from the staircase, then faintly smiling, "Chen Tianlong, I have long known that paper can’t wrap fire, about Mengting, let me tell you."
Lin Wushuang had already decided that instead of bottling things up, it was better to pour them out. If Chen Tianlong chose not to be with her after knowing the truth, so be it.
"The story starts from when we entered Yannian Snow Mountain in Ice City, that day...."
Lin Wushuang recounted the events after entering the snow mountain in detail, after which Chen Tianlong felt heavy-hearted. Just that piece of memory was enough to move him; as for how he and Wu Mengting met and fell in love before, perhaps not even Lin Wushuang and the others could explain.
The rest of this could only be revealed once his memory returns.
"Okay, I’m finished. Chen Tianlong, do you think I am the villain who replaced Wu Mengting’s position?" Lin Wushuang really wanted to know the answer.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; Wu Mengting was indeed his official girlfriend, but Wushuang had long since become his cherished love in his heart, and between her and Wu Mengting, both were appointed by his father as fiancées in the past, rendering no difference at all.
"Wushuang, don’t talk nonsense; even if Mengting were here, I would certainly marry you. I want to marry both of you and will not play favorites." These words seemed simple, but they represented Chen Tianlong’s promise.
Others he might break his word to, but Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang, he absolutely couldn’t let go nor betray.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wushuang burst into tears, receiving the answer she long sought. At this moment, she just wanted to cling to Chen Tianlong and cry heartily. This matter had been oppressing her heart for so long, nearly suffocating her.
Now, having spoken up, she felt as though she was relieved of a heavy burden and her mood became much more pleasant.
