Chapter 1866: Chapter 1866: Morbid Obsession 1
A low voice, somewhat like talking to himself.
It wasn’t clear, but inexplicably sad.
Xia Weibao was startled by his sudden change, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Sister, let’s start over, okay? Return to my side, and no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you. Let’s roam the world together, go where you want, live the life you desire. I will make you happy."
"I am very happy now."
"No! You’re not happy. Lu Hualiang doesn’t understand you at all, he only forces you.
The person who understands you best in this world is me. Only with me can you be happy. Come with me, he just wants to trap you."
"You’re not me, how do you know if I’m happy or not?"
"Of course I know! He can’t give you the life you want!
You love freedom so much, but he traps you in the palace, making you compete for favor with a bunch of women. Can you honestly say that a thousand years ago in the Deep Palace Courtyard you didn’t long for the free life outside? Can you say that when you looked at the tall palace walls, you never imagined the vast world beyond them? Or that when you watched birds flying in the sky, you didn’t envy their freedom at all?
In your midnight dreams, did you not dream of wandering the Jianghu with the sky as your blanket and the earth as your bed? Did you not dream of the joy of racing across the prairie, or of drinking large bowls of wine and eating large chunks of meat, acting and speaking freely? Did you not dream of daring and carefree adventures across the heaven and earth?"
A series of probing questions left Xia Weibao’s heart in turmoil.
It must be said that Long Xuanye truly understands her, piercing right to the heart!
These were the lives she once most longed for.
It was her nature.
Deep within the palace, how much resentment did she harbor?
Born to have her wings broken, she did have grievances.
It’s just that, no matter how painful, how oppressed, how much she longed for freedom, she did not leave.
"Say no more."
"Why not say it? Are you afraid that I’ve spoken your true feelings, afraid you’ll waver, unable to suppress your inner self, and leave the current restraints to seek a life of freedom?
Sister, come with me. I can give you the life you want.
That man is not suitable for you. His shoulders bear too many responsibilities; he has a family, a company, an organization, millions rely on him. He’s destined never to give up everything and accompany you.
No one in this world loves you more than I do. For you, I can abandon everything!
Lu Hualiang knows full well that you don’t like being constrained, yet in every lifetime, he wants to conquer lands. He’s not fully committed to finding you. Is this an expression of love?
Sister, only I am the one who loves you the most. Power, fame, status—I want none of it because you don’t like them. You like freedom, so I leave myself entirely to you."
What are power and status? To him, they are burdens, encumbrances, occupying time he could spend with her.
If he wanted to build an empire, why would Lu Hualiang now get the chance to rule and dominate!
Xia Weibao listened heavily, feeling in the world of this man, truly only she was present.
It’s just that this deep affection brought her not moved, but heavy.
"I’m sorry, forget me, and seek your happiness."
"My happiness is you! Only I can give you your happiness!"
"I’m already married."
"I don’t care! If you want to divorce, then divorce. If you don’t want to, it doesn’t matter. I’ll take you away. Our love spanning two thousand years, is it less than a sheet of certificate?"
Xia Weibao was left speechless, feeling Long Xuanye was too stubborn, to the point of obsession.
