Chapter 386: Chapter 217: Emotion Expert Hong’er_2

After exchanging gifts, the two women suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

After all, the gifts were given by their own husbands, which was quite dramatic.

Qu Hongling put away her earrings and teased, "Sister, you said earlier that you and your brother-in-law wouldn’t have marital feelings, yet you treasure the gift from him so dearly."

Ran Qingchen’s face turned red, and she subconsciously touched the gold bracelet on her wrist.

Her previous indifference was due to a prideful attitude. Later indifference was suppressed by the Love-void Realm...

Now, can she still be indifferent?

Thinking about her husband wanting to marry Xia He, Ran Qingchen started feeling distressed.

Without the Love-void Realm, she ultimately had to face her true feelings.

But what path should she take?

Perhaps it was a sisterly intuition, but Qu Hongling sensed the other’s hesitation and struggle, and softly said,

"Sister, why do you think the path your mother chose is definitely wrong? Right or wrong in a path cannot be determined by life or death, but by whether the chooser is truly happy."

"In my opinion, if your mother was happy, it means that in her heart, this path was always the right one. This is the choice and life she wanted, so why must you try to correct it?"

Ran Qingchen was stunned.

Yes, what did her mother want...

Did she care about the title of Unparalleled Sword Immortal? Did she care about competing for the foremost position in Sword Dao? Was she tempted by the prospect of ascension?

It seems... her mother didn’t really care.

Then the path she took for her mother, was it right or wrong?

Could it be that from the beginning, she was always on the wrong path?

Ran Qingchen’s resolve shook for the first time at that moment.

She looked down blankly at the Cutting Love Sword.

On the cold blade, the two lines her mother had altered were still clearly visible: "Deep as the sea, love carries oneself and others; shallow as smoke, it dissipates with the wind..."

Qu Hongling held Ran Qingchen’s hand and said with a smile, "Sister, a person’s life is full of regrets, but some regrets become a lifetime of sorrow, especially in romantic relationships."

"Sister, try to love once, let your heart make the choice, let things take their natural course, and don’t be afraid of hurting someone. By choosing to escape, you’ve already hurt everyone..."

The words from Qu Hongling were once used by Jiang to console her.

Back when she had lost her memory, she was very afraid, and so always chose to escape Jiang’s declarations of love.

Which led to these words from him.

Qu Hongling was glad she had listened then; even though the outcome was now sorrowful, she had loved, and that was enough.

Hearing Qu Hongling’s sincere advice, Ran Qingchen was somewhat moved.

Perhaps, should she change her path?

Let her heart choose?

But immediately, she bitterly said, "Even if I’m willing, it’s already too late, he’s going to marry another woman, and he doesn’t even like me."

The woman began to regret internally.

How had she suddenly realized the "Love-void Realm"?

Qu Hongling looked at her earnestly, "Sister, are you sure he doesn’t like you? Think about it, has he cared for you, has he ever saved or took care of you when you were in danger..."

"...Yes."

Ran Qingchen nodded, "But..."

"No buts!"

Qu Hongling, playing the role of a relationship expert, said, "Sister, listen to me, you are so beautiful and come from such a distinguished status, no man on this earth can resist your charm and not like you. He is certainly no exception.

Think about it, the woman he wants to marry, did you pressurize him or something? Did he have a romantic foundation with that woman before?"

Facing a series of questions from Qu Hongling, Ran Qingchen was a bit dazed.

She carefully recalled the moment at the dinner table when Jiang Shouzhong mentioned marrying Xia He... It seemed that she herself had mentioned wanting to marry Jinxiu off to him.

Ran Qingchen admitted, "I indeed pressured him, more than once, hoping he would find a woman he likes and marry her soon."

Ran Qingchen further explained, "He and the girl named Xia He didn’t have a romantic past, although they had spent time together, Xia He is very cold-natured and unapproachable towards men...Moreover, she is my aunt’s personal bodyguard, there’s no way my aunt would marry her off."

Clap!

Qu Hongling clapped her hands, startling Ran Qingchen.

"That’s it!"

Qu Hongling, indignantly, said, "Sister, think about it, as a husband, he truly loves his wife in his heart, yet his wife keeps pressuring him to find other women, how would he feel? Wouldn’t it hurt him?

"He would definitely feel heartbroken, upset, but also angry... So he purposely decided to act recklessly to revenge you. How to revenge? By declaring in front of you that he was going to marry another woman."

"Ah, is that so?" Ran Qingchen’s lips parted slightly.

But she felt that Jiang Mo hadn’t really thought so much.

"Of course it’s true, trust me, my husband used to be a master of relationships...so am I."

Qu Hongling patted her chest, about half the size of Ran Qingchen’s.

Jiang had imparted quite a bit of relationship theory to her initially, and aunque she had forgotten most of it, she felt her understanding of relationship theories was quite rich, and handling men’s emotions was a piece of cake.

One instance she remembered very clearly.

At that time, Jiang had confessed his feelings to Sister Ye, and she became angry upon learning about it.

Jiang said, "Hong’er, my confession to Sister Ye was to deliberately upset you, to make you love me more. It’s also a tactic of love."
