Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 529: How is this a good thing (2)

'Fck my life,' Liu Hui Ying cursed, as she knew better than anyone that what she had said just now was equivalent to announcing that Zhai Tianyu was her special one.

The one for whom she had feelings and whatnot. She did not have feelings for him. Nope, it was impossible for her to have feelings for him, there had never been a man who would be special to her.

Then why was her allergy not flaring up? A little voice in her head questioned and she ignored it. Not because she was not willing to answer it, but because she had no way to answer it. Why was her allergy not flailing up, what could she even say when Liu Hui Ying, herself, did not have any answer to that question?

However, she hoped that Zhai Tianyu would stop smiling at her like that as if she had just told him that she was in love with him. She wasn't, he knew that, but he was still smiling like she was the eighth wonder of the modern world and the first one of this time and era.

How could he even look at her like that when she could not even withstand her presence? Does he even know how ugly her emotions could be? Like the last time, when she lost herself in them, she got her sister killed. If she lost her control, then maybe she would lose someone just like the last time.

Maybe him.

A wave of nausea washed over her, and Liu Hui Ying shook his hand off her wrist.

Behind her, Li Gang shook his head and Jia Li looked at Liu Hui Ying sympathetically just like Grandma Lan Fen who was watching Liu Hui Ying as if she were looking at her granddaughter suffering.

Zhai Tianyu also sensed the changes in Liu Hui Ying, but he did not say anything, instead, he tilted his head to the side and caught hold of her wrist before saying, "Why are you shaking me off, my queen? Isn't it a good thing that your allergy has gotten better? Even if it's just me?"

"What made you think that it's a good thing?" Liu Hui Ying glared at him in the past, she had a reason to avoid people. People cared for her, but now that the reason was gone, she couldn't use it as a shield anymore.

She is my strength, those who want to harm her, will have to think twice."

He tilted his head to the side and looked at his brother with a smile before adding sweetly, "She is everything that I wanted in my Empress."

....

Inside the Phoenix Palace.

Liu Hui Ying breathed heavily as she stared at the mirror, her eyes searched for the smallest boil on her skin but nothing. Her skin was as pale and clear as a peeled egg, even if she wanted to deny it...she could no longer deny it. Zhai Tianyu really crossed the stone-cold fortress that she had built across her heart.

She dropped her gaze to her hands that were resting on the dressing table and felt an urge to ruin everything.

"Why are you so angry? Isn't it so romantic," Jia Li questioned with a gushing expression that was filled with the intention of gossiping. "You seemed to have found the one and only for you. How romantic."

Li Gang stared at her as if she were a fool and then said, "You are a fool if you think that this is romantic. Even if it is, this story has no good end. Has it slipped past your head, that we do not belong to this time and era?"

"We are going to leave eventually," he added as a reminder for Liu Hui Ying, who opened her eyes and nodded,

"You are right," she agreed with him. "This relationship does not have a good end, so it's better to nip it before it can start budding."
