Mo Ye was slightly taken aback as he heard Eleven speak…
“Ye, kill her, kill her! She’s mad, she’s mad…” Meng Lianying screamed as fear poured into her reddened eyes whilst she trembled and started to sound incoherent.
As Meng Lianying’s birth and growing up years were extraordinary, she had seen much of the world and was gutsy enough to the point she was never really afraid of anything. Meng Lianying was not really afraid, and even the death of her sister – however much it aggrieved her – did not inspire fear in her.
Her only fear was Mo Ye learning the truth about what happened five years ago and hating her as a result of it.
Mo Ye actually did not love her these five years, and she could not quite clearly explain it. As she had never experienced romance before, she knew that Mo Ye was the only other person apart from her sister that was unconditionally good towards her who also did not expect anything of her.
Whether Mo Ye treated her well because he knew her or because she was herself, Meng Lianying could not be particularly concerned. She only wanted Mo Ye to remain by her side and always treat her like this.
Her attachment for Mo Ye grew with each day and she was utterly drawn into it. There were many types of feelings between people – kinship, romance, friendship, gratitude. She knew that Mo Ye treated her with gratitude and kinship as they had been with each other for five years. It was afraid that even Mo Ye himself had no idea how much he loved her as he was new to romantic relationships.
It was afraid that Mo Ye was also unsure whether he loved Meng Lianying, and whether it was the Meng Lianling of the past. When she woke up, he treated her extremely well and had never suspected anything for the past five years. As Mo Ye had a feeling that something was amiss, he tried to probe her about details of what happened in the hut five years ago. Since she had bugged the conversations, she clearly knew what happened and Mo Ye, however much he might have suspected her, could not clearly claim that she was not the person.
His probes were unintentional enough to the point she could sense it. After the confusion, she would act as though she was in agonizing pain from the toxins in her that acted up in a bid to win his affection and change his focus.
She hoped that Mo Ye’s memory of the woman in the hut back then would fade as time passed by, and eventually forgot how it was like to be with her. When that happened, he would completely belong to her.
Little did she expect Eleven and him to cross paths.
This felt like the legitimate wife and the mistress… She could not help but mock herself at how she could not even consider herself the mistress as Mo Ye had all the while thought that it was just the same person. Meng Lianying dared to claim that Mo Ye would utterly hate her if he learnt the truth now. While he would not hate her for fooling him for this long, he would not hate her for causing him to go blind and even shooting him.
He would hate her and how he missed Eleven for so long, even to the point of hurting Eleven.
That was what Meng Lianying utterly did not want to see. While she initially wanted to separate Eleven and Mo Ye, she ended up truly falling in love with Mo Ye and helped him through thick and thin.
Eleven only accompanied him for ten days, but she accompanied him for five years. Eleven once put herself in harm’s way, but she had put herself on the line for him several times. While her motives were not innocent, her affection for him was.
Although she felt that the two of them lacked the sexual passion between couples, she buried this unwillingness deep in her heart because she knew…
That her feelings and happiness were stolen from Eleven. While she had tried to maintain them and forget the fact they were stolen, she still failed to…
She did not want to return these stolen feelings.
“Did you two know each other from before?” Mo Ye flatly asked Eleven.
“Mo Ye, you were a fool! People who were privy to what happened five years ago knew what was going on, only you were kept in the dark. Ask her what exactly she had done,” Eleven coldly smiled. “I want her to personally tell you!”
If that weren’t the case, she wouldn’t be able to relieve that hatred in her!
Ye Wei frowned as she felt something was amiss. “Did they know each other? How does this seem… as though Meng Lianling snatched Eleven’s husband?” She asked Mo Jue.
Ye Wei felt a little confounded and recalled the image of Big Boss Mo and Eleven together.
Like how the arctic and siberian icebergs collided, two extremely distant persons having chemistry for each other felt… off.
“No impression, I do not know her,” Mo Jue flatly replied. He felt that the atmosphere was weird, but could not quite describe it. Simply hating a person would not give such.. intense vibes of love intertwining with hatred.
Meng Lianying was flustered and fearful of how Mo Ye’s gaze landed on her and Eleven whilst he pondered their relationship. The more he pondered, the harder Meng Lianying’s heart thumped because she was at a loss.
“Ye, save me, my shoulder hurts…” Meng Lianying, attempting a sympathy-gaining ploy, cried as tears trickled from her eyes and down her pale cheeks. Mo Ye looked down as Ye Wei coldly harrumphed.
Your shoulders are aching?
It was utterly hilarious that a killer could not even endure such pain, but she did not say anything and coldly watched the men in black and Big Boss Mo so that Eleven would remain safe.
“Lianling, what exactly did she say?” Mo Ye flatly replied as he coldly looked at Meng Lianying and ignored her pain for the first time. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“I did not!” Meng Lianying shook her head in panic as she looked at Mo Ye angrily. Meng Lianying was adept at using her eyes to convey messages, and her lively eyes were filled with an accusation that allowed no room for countering it. “Ye, you trust her? She is harming me, had killed my sister, and is now after me. How could you doubt me?!”
Meng Lianying’s tears continued trickling down…
Eleven coldly laughed, and Mo Ye remained silent as he had a complicated look.
Who should he trust?
If he were in the past, he would have trusted Meng Lianying as she had accompanied him for many years. He, today, had no idea who he should trust.
Because Eleven… Given her pride, would not frame somebody. Something – which he was related to – must have cropped up, and he was not in the know. What exactly happened?
He hesitated.
Meng Lianying had a look of desperation on her face as he did not trust her. How could he?! Since that was the case, what should she do? Meng Lianying’s body suddenly spasmed and she breathed extremely quickly. Her eyes grew wide, and her rosy skin suddenly turned pale as though she was in a seizure.
“Lianling…” Mo Ye suddenly screamed. Meng Lianying simply did not hear anything and lapsed into immense pain. Mo Ye tucked his lips and looked at Eleven…
“Let her go, and I’ll be at your disposal. I am indebted to you, not her!” Mo Ye flatly said.
The toxins in Meng Lianying acted up and threatened her life as she had lost control of her emotions. As she losing control of her emotions caused the toxins to wreak havoc on her, it was the exact reason Mo Ye yielded to her.
Ye Wei and Mo Jue looked at each other without saying a word.
Eleven coldly smiled as the toxins in Meng Lianying suddenly acted up and could not support herself. While Eleven was already weak, supporting Meng Lianying took her quite some effort. She then threw Meng Lianying aside and pulled out another gun with her left hand. One was pointed at Meng Lianying, the other at Mo Ye.
She could not care about whether Meng Lianying had really fainted, and allowed her to be. She was already demoralized.
Eleven suddenly pointed the gun at Mo Ye’s chest. “You’re right, you do owe me something.”
She coldly pulled the trigger…
Bang… As the gun fired, the bullet found its way into Mo Ye’s calf. Mo Jue panicked and furiously screamed no. Ye Wei grabbed Mo Jue as his eyes burnt while seeing blood ooze out from an already scorned Mo Ye’s calf.
Mo Ye stumbled forward and almost fell but eventually found his footing. Just as he found his footing, Eleven aimed at his other leg and fired emotionlessly. Mo Ye grunted and leaned forward as he tried to stand up.
He however, could not help it and stumbled and knelt on the beach before Eleven.
“Brother…” Mo Jue panicked and quickly rushed forward as he wanted to help Mo Ye. Eleven looked around coldly and coldly fired a few shots in Mo Jue’s direction. The bullets landed in the sand and kicked up some sand…
“Mo Jue, careful!” Ye Wei’s face changed as she quickly pulled Mo Jue back while the bullets landed by Mo Jue’s legs. Mo Jue, having to back away, was enraged. “You will not help him!” Eleven coldly said.
Mo Jue stared at Eleven angrily, and Ye Wei was pretty shocked as she did not expect Eleven to be for real. What seemed like two women fighting for a man became her gradually retracting her emotions.
What exactly happened between them?
Big Boss Mo, being the tough guy he was, struggled to stand up. Although he was helter skelter, he did not seem helter skelter at all but showed his toughness. Eleven coldly harrumphed as getting him to kneel down was already a light punishment.
As Mo Ye struggled to stand up, Eleven coldly fired again and shot him in his thigh. Mo Ye could no longer remain standing and collapsed onto the ground. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead into the sand.
He looked up at Eleven with a vicious gaze.
“Mo Ye, this is what you owe me!” Eleven coldly said. “You sure dote on her eh? But it’s a shame that she does not quite dote on you. She would rather feign fainting and ignore the fact you were shot and kneeling before me. It’s all because…”
Before Eleven could finish speaking, Meng Lianying who had fainted suddenly got up and quickly reached for Eleven’s wrist as she turned the wrist around and pointed the gun at Eleven…
