Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 455 Li Wanying and Lin Mengjie 2(3)_1

Zhuge Feng swept his robe, locked the door, and strode away. "Jiejie, don’t worry. I will definitely wake you up. No matter what the person behind the scenes is planning, I won’t let them get away with it."

"Jiejie, you foolish girl, when that person came to you years ago, did they threaten you with our girl’s life, forcing you to compromise? Such a significant matter—why wouldn’t you tell me? Why bear it all alone?"

"Jiejie, is it because I don’t truly exist in your heart that you didn’t wish to tell me? Oh..." Zhuge Feng sighed deeply, his hands gently caressing Lin Mengjie’s face. His expression was tender, yet also filled with hurt.

Silence. Silence all around. Nothing but silence. Zhuge Feng habitually touched Lin Mengjie’s face, gazing at her with love. After a long while, he reluctantly let go. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Jiejie, there’s only half a year left. I’ve arranged everything, even our girl’s future life. I will let Fengfeng take our place and take good care of our girl. Although Fengfeng is unwilling to accept this condition now, I believe he will understand in time. Our girl is the best there is, and I can rest easy leaving her in Fengfeng’s care."

"Jiejie, rest well. I’m going to check on Fengfeng." Zhuge Feng gently kissed Lin Mengjie’s forehead before he reluctantly departed.

Gazing at the now calm secret room, Shangguan You’s figure flashed, appearing inside. Ye Sanshao also materialized beside Shangguan You at the same time.

Shangguan You stared blankly at Lin Mengjie on the ice bed, her vision blurring. She shook her head, forcing herself to calm down, and stretched out her hand to check Lin Mengjie’s pulse.

She was serious and meticulous, carefully observing Lin Mengjie’s complexion and coloring. In the end, her own face turned pale as a sheet, and she staggered backward several steps, feeling suddenly and deeply struck.

Two Lin Mengjies, with exactly the same pulse. No poison, no illness, just lost in deep slumber.

"Lass, her condition is likely a state of suspended animation. If we find the reason behind her deep sleep, there should be a way to wake her up," Ye Sanshao said as he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Shangguan You. Looking at her pale face, his heart ached for her, and he comforted her softly.

From the earlier conversation, he naturally knew that Lin Mengjie was Shangguan You’s mommy. However, Ye Sanshao hadn’t expected Lin Mengjie’s sleep to have lasted for sixteen years.

Smelling that familiar scent on Ye Sanshao, Shangguan You let him hold her gently, feeling the panic inside her gradually subside.

"Do you think there are two completely identical people in this world? With the same appearance, the same looks, and even the same expressions?" Shangguan You murmured, picturing two identical people before her eyes.

One was constantly cared for by Zhuge Feng; that person, without a doubt, was her mother. But then what about the Lin Mengjie in the Crystal Coffin at Shen Po’s place? And why did that one appear at Shen Po’s? Both in the same condition, both in a state of suspended animation. What exactly was the connection between these two Lin Mengjies? What kind of relationship did they have?

Shangguan You was confused. Even now, she felt as if a heavy mountain weighed upon her heart, so oppressive that she couldn’t catch her breath. She felt so tired, utterly exhausted.

This stolen life... she had originally intended it only for revenge. However, after discovering the world’s complexities, the space, and the Medicine King Tower, she suddenly felt that revenge was a simple matter for her. Shen Cheng and Wanqian were already at odds, even suspecting each other. The revenge she sought was being implemented step by step.

But aside from revenge, other matters had piled up: the two Lin Mengjies, the Shen Family’s secret room, Zhuge Feng, Ouyang Xuan, Ye Sanshao, the Five Spirit Pearls—every single thing troubled her. Even the responsibilities of the Shangguan Family pressed down on her heavily.

Shangguan Zhi and the others might not say anything, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know. The more they indulged her, the greater her sense of responsibility became.

Was it just as she had seen in the space—that merely because of her rebirth, so many butterfly effects had occurred, causing things to happen that never should have?

Shangguan You was bewildered. The fog around her, which had just begun to clear, thickened once more, trapping her completely. She couldn’t find her way.

"Heh, people who look alike naturally exist. Twins, for instance, aren’t they identical? Fool." Ye Sanshao said indulgently as he ruffled her hair with a smile, drawing her gently into his embrace. He could see her confusion, her vulnerability, but there were some things that, although he was clear about them and knew them, he didn’t want her to know just yet.

"Hah, I’m not a fool." Shangguan You laughed softly. Twins? That was simply impossible. But sensing the light, teasing tone in Ye Sanshao’s voice, she couldn’t help but shake her head, pushing the doubts from her mind. I’ll just take it one step at a time. Besides, I have a strong premonition that the trip to the Hidden World Village will provide answers to these tormenting mysteries, and perhaps something bad might even happen.

"Lass, even if you were a fool, you’d be my, Ye Sanshao’s, fool alone. So, nobody dares to laugh at you," Ye Sanshao spoke, his voice brimming with unspoken fondness.

"Hmph, I’m not yours," Shangguan You retorted, turning her face away, a hint of amusement sparkling in her deep eyes. She didn’t reject Ye Sanshao’s words; in fact, a gentle sweetness filled her heart.

"You are mine. Don’t forget—the Blood Jade Bracelet is our witness." Ye Sanshao lifted her wrist, upon which the Blood Jade Bracelet emitted a dazzling red glow, as if affirming his words.

"It’s always been red." Shangguan You laughed softly. Crimson threads constantly flowed within the Blood Jade Bracelet; of course, it was red.

"Regardless, just remember that you are the one I, Ye Sanshao, have claimed. So, you can’t allow yourself to get hurt or be sad. If anyone bullies you, you must give them a fierce lesson, understand?"

As Ye Sanshao stroked her hair and spoke with a smile, Shangguan You’s face began to flush, her gaze fixed on the radiant light in his deep eyes. Her whole being felt aflame. Especially considering Ye Sanshao’s current expression, combined with his devilishly handsome face, it was enough to make any woman in the world throw herself at him like a moth to a flame, and feel it was worth it.
