Chapter 6: You are nothing to me now...

Even though it was made by one speaker, silence was the only audience in the room when it received visitors as noise.

Stepping leisurely after putting down the glass of the vine in his hand, Liang Chen said, "I was wondering who had the audacity to spike my drink. It's no surprise that it's you. Who'd have thought you could extort anything to get what you want?" His voice was tinged with hatred and coated with anger, which YinLan could sense even though she couldn't see his face.

Yin Lan wished to be deaf, as the way he was speaking to her was not likable at all, but all of a sudden she shuddered when she heard his words.

She questioned, "What did he say?"

"Someone spiked his drink? But why?" Her eyes grooved as she looked at him.

She was suddenly reminded of her own situation. Of course, the way she found herself, naked, indicates that someone had set things up. What a well-planned crime! First, they set Yinlan in the Liang Chen room, and then they spiked the Liang Chen drink, making a scene in which Yinlan totally seems cunning and slutty.

Yinlan smirked as she crushed the bed sheet under her palm. Now everything has become clear in her mind. Someone has set her up with bad intentions because everyone knows how much Liang Chen hates Yinlan. The only benefit they get from doing this kind of slandering is that it makes Yinlan look worse in the eyes of Liang Chen.

The corner of her eye creased as she thought, "My relationship with this person is not good to begin with. Now I understand someone intentionally made our relationship worse."

An anxious emotion started to engulf her body. Grooving her eyes in question, she thought to herself, "Wait a sec! Did something happen in our past lives? Why don't I remember something like this from my last life?"

Her anxiety was strangling her when, all of a sudden, the crying face of Liang Chen appeared in front of her eyes. His sudden appearance made Yinlan's heart skip a beat and made her fall into a moment of confusion. Although it was blurry, his expression was real. She felt her mind go blank as she mumbled, "When did he cry for me?"

She was all perplexed by the small, odd flashback.

"I never thought you could fall this low. This is really something new I discovered today. " His dry voice breaks the undertone of mockery with amusement as he speaks.

As his voice sipped through her ear, she found herself in a sudden break in reality.

All of a sudden, she felt like she was lying on the ice as her whole body became cold.

She paused in her thought, "What does he mean? I don't understand. "

The crease over her head deepens as her mouth remains silent with her vocal mind asking, "Did he just come here because he thinks I spiked his drink?"

Her eyes were clouded with sorrow as she screamed, "No way! He can't be thinking that. Right!"

"This is what he had an image of me!" she shouted in her mind and then glared angrily thinking, "Then my definition in his dictionary might be really elaborate. That's why he didn't bring himself to love me."

"How ironic!"

"Hah! That's really laughable," she chuckled and murmured, "the foolish me trying to clear her name just to get his love, who has a different definition of me. The me who is sentenced as a criminal without a trial in his mind."

"Really, why did I even love him?"

Huffing as she turned away her gaze in anger, she protested to herself, "What was exactly I was hoping for from this guy? Foolish YinLan you already have died after deeply loving him with all of your heart. Why were you even hoping for anything from him now? We just agree to not hope for anything from anyone. Then why? "

Now closing her eyes she whispered, "Why does it still hurt? why is it still painful after seeing him behave like this."

"He did not even ask me, not even gave me the chance to explain, and already concluded. Why did he not think, I can be a victim too."

"Am I really this unjust in his mind? Then where is the justice for me?" She silently sobbed as her heart ached because of his words.

If she had the ability to speak, she would have asked him directly, "Why can't he think someone else is the culprit? or that someone else could have set her up to make him hate her?" But because she couldn't make her voice even come out of her throat, all she could do was cry in silence.

While trying hard not to get hurt, she asked herself, "Seriously, what was wrong with me? Why are my eyes shedding tears for a man like him."

"He doesn't even need me at all. I am nothing to him."

"But what was the face that seemed so desperate before my death? Why am I suddenly recalling that?"

While YinLan was lost in her thoughts and cursing herself, another intimidating voice mocked her, "What? Not responding at all hah? Are you starting to feel guilty for me and that's why you're not responding at all?"

After receiving his words, YinLan felt she had lost her breath for a moment and coughed vigorously as she stretched her tone and paused on the word, "Guilty."

"Did he even know how many tears I had shed after getting married to him all those years? There wasn't even a single day in my life in which I managed to even smile a little."

"And he thinks I should be guilty. But why? What should I feel guilty about? Shouldn't you be guilty of me, for what you did to me for all those years? And you didn't even put in any effort to save your child. " The loss of her child is so grave in her mind that she will not even bring herself to forgive him till she dies.

There were so many questions running through her head, and she wanted to ask him straight to his face. But she calms herself while looking at him in disgust, she whispers, "Why should I even try to bring out his mistakes?"

"Why should I bother myself for being something in front of him?"

"He doesn't deserve it at all."

There was a stream of rage encroaching on her body, which was wanting her to scream as hard as she could.

She asked in her mind, exhaling heavily in anger, "Who the hell are you concluding I should be guilty? You made me the villain of your life; you think you are some kind of hero of mine. You can wish all you want, but in this life, you will not get anything from me because You are nothing to me now. And I will never allow you to enter into my broken heart again.
