Chapter 276: 166: Yan Yan Compromises! The Decisive Kill!
Nai’er’s words were like swords, one after another.
Liu Chen’s gaze shifted from shock to despair, and then to immeasurable grief and anger.
"Why?" he roared hoarsely, pointing sharply at Suo Lun, "In what way am I inferior to him? Status and identity, intelligence and talent, martial skills and appearance, personality and charm, in what aspect am I not ten times, a hundred times stronger than him?"
Yan Nai’er did not respond to Liu Chen, only quietly looked at him.
Suo Lun, standing to the side, showed no sign of pride, but bowed his head, moved, saddened, and most of all, pained by Yan Nai’er’s ultimate choice. She did this for Suo Lun’s dignity, and yet... the price of that dignity was far too high.
Such a lovely and passionately devoted girl. Suo Lun truly did not deserve her, and he believed even he himself was unworthy of her.
At that moment, Suo Lun even wanted to roar at Liu Chen, why did you show up just now, otherwise I would have already snatched the antidote from Turing Duo.
Now, Nai’er had destroyed the only antidote, beyond all hope of recovery.
"What else can this bastard do besides sweet talk and shameless clinging?" Liu Chen pointed at Suo Lun and roared, "Do you know how many girls he has harmed at Royal City Academy? He has already abandoned you once, and you... you still want to... "
Liu Chen wanted to say the words "cheap bitch", but he simply couldn’t utter them towards Yan Nai’er.
Pressing down the fury in his heart, he said mournfully and calmly, "A man like Suo Lun is only liked by superficial and mediocre women who are easily deceived. You are so clever, so exceptional, how can you also fall for such an incompetent and pretentious man?"
Yan Nai’er looked at Liu Chen and said, "I’m no different from ordinary girls."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chen shook his head desperately. If she was ordinary, how could he have fallen for her so hopelessly?
And Suo Lun shook his head desperately in his heart.
Since coming to this world, he had seen many girls, yet there was only one like Yan Nai’er. She was truly like an Angel, like a pearl, who just happened to fall very coincidentally into Suo Lun’s hands.
In grief and anger, Liu Chen asked, "What if Suo Lun hurts you again, leaving you utterly devastated?"
"He won’t, and if he really does, then I will accept it. Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices," Yan Nai’er said quietly.
At that moment, Liu Chen felt his heart was truly battered and full of holes; even his dignity was shattered into pieces.
He had traveled thousands of miles to come here, at the expense of harming his family’s interests, even falling out with his own sister. However, his sentiments and the antidote were discarded by Yan Nai’er as easily as an old shoe.
His profound devotion could not win a fraction of her favor.
And Suo Lun, who repeatedly hurt her, not only did she continue her devoted love for him, but she was also willing to defend his dignity, even at the cost of her own life.
In her heart, his weight compared to Suo Lun’s, was utterly insignificant, like a speck of dust.
Is such a woman still worth his wholehearted affection? Is this adoration even worthwhile?
Overwhelmed by grief and anger, Liu Chen suddenly burst into a loud, eerie, and mournful laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"Ha ha ha ha, humans are always foolish, and I am particularly so."
"I shouldn’t have come here. I traveled thousands of miles, only to find my affection unrequited. Why bother at all!"
"I take my leave, then... I wish you both happiness!"
As Liu Chen spoke these last words, his face twisted with effort, his handsome features contorting, and then, like a gust of wind, he dashed out, vanishing without a trace!
The desolate laughter grew increasingly distant!
...
After Liu Chen departed, only Yan Yan, Suo Lun, and Nai’er were left in the room.
Yan Yan looked at his daughter and asked huskily, "Why do this?"
"Father, I know what you want to do, but I can’t let you do it," Yan Nai’er replied quietly.
Yan Yan said, "Is it because you want to repay him for saving me? I can give my life back to him, why would you do this, you’re cutting off all your means of retreat."
Because Liu Chen’s appearance could not only bring the antidote but also set the Silver Wolf free.
Yan Nai’er said, "Between Suo Lun and me, there will never be a debt owed."
No debt owed forever? Only between parents and children, only between intimate lovers, because there is no distinction between them, so there is no debt to be owed.
Yan Yan’s voice trembled, "Do you plan to leave with him again?"
"Yes," Yan Nai’er said, "Now that your health has been restored, I want to pursue my own happiness. From now on, wherever he goes, I will follow."
Yan Yan’s face twitched, and he said, "If you go with him, what about me? What about the Silver Wolf Legion, are you just going to abandon it?"
"The Silver Wolf Legion is yours. I only managed it on your behalf. Now it’s time to return it to you. You’re my father, and that will never change," Yan Nai’er said. "But a daughter has to marry eventually."
Yan Yan’s teeth chattered, making a clattering noise.
Though Suo Lun had revived him, he still deeply loathed Suo Lun; therefore, from the beginning to the end, he was unwilling to utter a word to him.
He had been plotting to have Liu Chen save Yan Nai’er, all to take the opportunity to rid himself of Suo Lun. Now, however, Yan Nai’er had backed herself into a corner.
He felt heartbroken all over again, his experience from over a year ago playing out once more.
The moment this pretty boy Suo Lun appeared, his daughter once again threw herself into his arms without hesitation, forsaking everything else.
