Chapter 119 - 119 119 Taking Revenge Personally is More
?Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Taking Revenge Personally is More Satisfying Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Taking Revenge Personally is More Satisfying Hearing Luo Ning’s concerned words, Ni Xinxuan couldn’t help but her eyes reddened again.
Tears also uncontrollably fell as she spoke, “I was upset, so I couldn’t help but go out to drown my sorrows.”
“But it definitely won’t happen again.” The events of the evening had frightened her.
Luo Ning thought that Ni Xinxuan crying like this was quite distressing, “What’s wrong with you? Weren’t you perfectly fine during the day?”
“Do you need any help?”
Perhaps it was because Luo Ning had saved her, or maybe at this moment she particularly wanted to pour out her heart’s anguish to someone.
Ni Xinxuan couldn’t help herself and told Luo Ning everything about her and Yuan Hanyi.
She had a feeling that Luo Ning wouldn’t betray her.
After listening, Luo Ning thought to herself that it was indeed that lousy scumbag who was the cause of the trouble.
It seems that because of previous events and the divergence from the book, Ni Xinxuan and Yuan Hanyi’s situation had accelerated significantly in their timeline.
And there were many differences, like how this time Ni Xinxuan had agreed on the spot to break off the engagement with Yuan Zha.
In her past life, Ni Xinxuan definitely didn’t agree, and clung to Yuan Zha foolishly, entangled with him no matter how scummy he was, still loving him desperately without giving up.
After her family went bankrupt, it was with a disillusioned heart that she was forced to break off the engagement and go abroad.
She thought, with Ni Xinxuan’s proud nature, how could she be so obsessed? He was already rolling around with Bo Xiangxiang, yet she still wouldn’t give up.
“You did the right thing; such a lousy man isn’t worth it.”
“You should be thankful that you haven’t married yet. Otherwise, if he cheated after the wedding, your loss would be even greater.”
Crying and hugging her knees, Ni Xinxuan said, “It’s easy to say that, but after loving him for so many years, it’s still very hard for me.”
“If he chose someone better than me, I would have accepted it, but I really can’t understand why he chose Bo Xiangxiang.”
It was also because she felt that with Yuan Hanyi’s taste and perspective, he shouldn’t be interested in someone like Bo Xiangxiang.
Moreover, with what her friends had said, hinting from all sides that Bo Xiangxiang had deliberately seduced Yuan Hanyi purely to climb upwards and secure resources, she couldn’t help but want to deal with Bo Xiangxiang first.
Who would have thought that the lousy man had such poor taste and even played with the notion of true love.
Luo Ning agreed, “This only shows that he’s blind in the eyes and heart.”
Even with the constraints of the book’s power, some things might be beyond her control, but Yuan Hanyi himself definitely had big problems.
Otherwise, even if he could be influenced by Bo Xiangxiang, he should have been able to control his own actions.
Take Ji Xinghang for instance; at least he kept his lower half in check and didn’t give his heart to Bo Xiangxiang.
And as for Lu Xun, he was even more so, unmoved by whatever Bo Xiangxiang did and intentionally kept his distance.
Besides these two, there might be other such instances not written in the book.
Plus, now that the book’s world had morphed into a real one, people like Yuan Hanyi were still messing around with Bo Xiangxiang, and aside from the influence of the female protagonist’s aura, the main reason was they also wanted to cheat.
After she returned, she found that the book’s power and the female protagonist’s aura did indeed have an effect on men, but it was far less compared to their impact on women.
Bo Xiangxiang, by stepping on them, could siphon off their luck, but she wouldn’t be able to siphon off the men’s luck.
The men in Bo Xiangxiang’s pond were still able to bask in the glow of the female protagonist’s aura, ascend to higher levels, and then reciprocate to the female protagonist.
Ni Xinxuan nodded, “Right, he’s blind in eyes and heart.”
“But I can’t swallow this anger. Why after loving each other for so many years, can he just walk away, while I have to suffer heart-wrenching pain and bear the weight of being abandoned?” she said with a hint of hatred.
After contemplating, Luo Ning said, “Then don’t swallow this anger, make that pair of despicable lovers regret it.”
In her past life, Ni Xinxuan also had a particularly miserable experience; she was back now, and of course, she wanted to help her change that.
“What should I do, then? I truly both hate and love him,” Ni Xinxuan suddenly felt lost.
Her feelings for Yuan Hanyi were genuine, and she couldn’t just retract them whenever she wished, which caused her heart to ache so much that even breathing felt painful.
Luo Ning could see the confusion and entanglement plaguing Ni Xinxuan.
If Ni Xinxuan continued this way, it was very likely she would once again be used by the scumbag and Bo Xiangxiang, and then get hurt herself.
But matters of the heart aren’t easily resolved simply by advising someone.
She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of a solution.
“Just get a good night’s sleep now, and maybe when you wake up in the morning, you’ll know what to do,” she said.
Ni Xinxuan shook her head, “I can’t sleep, I feel terrible, I’m especially lucid right now.”
Luo Ning reached out to hug her, gently patting her back, “Lie down for a while and you’ll be able to fall asleep, and once you’re asleep, you won’t feel the pain.”
Ni Xinxuan felt there was some sense to it, “Okay, then I’ll sleep.”
“Luo Ning, can you stay with me tonight?” she asked, holding onto Luo Ning’s hand.
Luo Ning nodded: “Okay, I’ll stay with you.”
Then she continued to gently pat Ni Xinxuan’s back.
Soon Ni Xinxuan began to feel drowsy, her eyelids gradually closed together, and she fell into a steady sleep.
After placing Ni Xinxuan on the bed and covering her with the blanket,
Luo Ning stood up and, using her spiritual power and intent, drew a Dream Entry Talisman, imprinting the experiences from Ni Xinxuan’s previous life into the talisman.
She then injected it into Ni Xinxuan’s body.
Having experienced the events of her past life again, Ni Xinxuan would surely not have a soft spot for Yuan Zha anymore, nor allow herself to be used by him again.
She wouldn’t be fooled by Bo Xiangxiang again, wouldn’t ruin her reputation, and could guard her family’s company by finding the mole in advance.
Luo Ning had always believed that it was more satisfying to take revenge herself.
She sent a message to her mother saying she wouldn’t come home because she was staying with a friend, took a shower, and did not sleep but sat cross-legged on the windowsill, absorbing the essence of moonlight for her cultivation.
Mainly, she just wasn’t used to sharing a bed with someone else.
As dawn was breaking, she finally got up and went to the sofa to rest with her eyes closed.
Ni Xinxuan didn’t sleep well and awoke abruptly, gasping for breath, soon after the sky had started to lighten.
When she saw her surroundings and Luo Ning sleeping on the sofa, she gradually calmed down.
The dream was too real, giving her an intuition that it had indeed happened.
Yet the current events were somewhat different from those in the dream.
Where did the problem lie?
Then she looked up at Luo Ning again.
Right, it seemed to start with Luo Ning’s turn of bad luck being reversed.
Could it be that Luo Ning, just like her, had the same dream, or had gone through the same experiences?
After all, in the dream, Luo Ning was forced into jumping off a building and committing suicide.
The more she thought about it, the more she was convinced that was the case, no wonder Luo Ning could avoid being manipulated by Bo Xiangxiang again.
Most importantly, Luo Ning had distanced herself from Ji Xinghang, who was also trailing behind Bo Xiangxiang.
If that was the case, then she and Luo Ning were truly bound by fate, and Luo Ning’s situation was even more tragic than hers—at least she was still alive after going abroad with her parents.
Looking at Luo Ning, her eyes filled with compassion and sorrow.
It was fortunate that Luo Ning helped her the day before, otherwise she was sure to repeat the same mistakes from her dream.
