Feng Tianlan reached out to hold Xi Lin’s hand, she did not want to go back and forth with apologies, “Sister Lin, what exactly happened? If there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know. I’ll do it.”
The most important thing now was to resolve the matter, as for the rest, they could talk about it after the matter was over.
Xi Lin raised her head to look at Feng Tianlan, the Phoenix emblem between her brows was so enchanting, it was even more beautiful than the peonies behind her, that sincere and caring gaze made her feel guilty, she opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say it out loud.
“Sister Lin, we’ve always had a good time, if there’s anything you need help with, just ask. As for Chen Xinyi, this matter started because of me, so I felt even more responsible,” Feng Tianlan said firmly when she saw her hesitation.
Xi Lin lowered her head and looked at the fair hand that was holding her hand, she couldn’t bring herself to say it, the Xi family owed her, so how could she expect her to do more?No matter what, she couldn’t hurt Tianlan’s heart anymore, she had already experienced betrayal from her sister once, so she couldn’t let her go through it again.
“Sister Lin…”
Xi Lin raised her head and tried her best to smile. “If I have to let Wang’er go and let Chen Xinyi raise her, I’d rather let you take care of her.”
“I’ll take you and Wang’er with me and return to Dongshu Nation, you can stay in the Bailan Alliance,” Feng Tianlan said firmly, this was the safest place.
Xi Lin shook her head. “I’m not going back.”
“Why?” Feng Tianlan looked at her in doubt, shouldn’t she get out of suffering?
“At this moment, the Xi Yuan Nation is still having internal strife, there are many things that will require the Dongshu Nation’s help. Moreover, I felt that it’s not very normal for him to be like this, I want to stay behind to help him and help him get over this difficult situation.”Upon hearing Xin Lin’s words, Feng Tianlan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “After what he did to you, you still want to stay behind to help him?”
Xi Lin replied with a soft ‘yes’.
“Why?” Feng Tianlan was even more confused. Helian Huang didn’t like sister Lin, and he even did such a thing to hurt her, why did she want to stay and help him?
In Feng Tianlan’s opinion, how could a proud person like Xi Lin became so humble, and even do such a thing? It was despicable.
She believed that the right thing to do at this moment was to take Wang’er back to Dongshu Nation without looking back, she should sever all ties with Helian Huang and never see him again.
At the very least, she had imagined that if Mobai did not love her, as long as he made it clear, she would leave without looking back. She would not make him stay, nor would she lower herself to help him like this.
Xi Lin looked up at Feng Tianlan. “Even if my heart is dead, but he’s still in my heart, this is love, no matter how bad he treated me, I would not change my feeling.”
Feng Tianlan looked at Xi Lin and could not comprehend, in her mind, she could not help but recalled Tu Xiuyu wearing red. as she wanted to be Si Rong’s bride, she could not understand this kind of love.
“It’s best not to understand this kind of love.” Xi Lin smiled bitterly again, whoever saw her smile would feel heartbreaking.
She could say that she did not love Helian anymore, but in her heart, she could not bear to see him being attacked from all sides, she could not help but want to help him, even though she was hurt badly, she would still want to protect him.
Feng Tianlan opened her mouth as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, she said dryly, “Why? Isn’t better to love oneself?”
“You don’t understand, and you don’t need to understand, whether you love someone or not, it is not by word but by deeds”
