Chapter 224: Getting out of the Dilemma

Tonight, Lu Ling'er pondered the necessity of this gathering. She absolutely couldn't leave Feng Jingsu and Wen Yuan alone at Dongmeixuan. So, she decided to have her husband, Gu Yichen, and her uncle, Ji Junche, accompany them. Just in case they started fighting again, at least there would be a peacemaker. As she followed Feng Xinying's footsteps, her pregnant belly cradled in her arms, her heart inevitably grew heavy.

They returned to Xiaheju, the hot spring villa. The hot spring water was steaming gently, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance. It was as if they were in a fairyland on earth. Lu Linger looked at Feng Xinying, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help asking, "Sister Xinying, are you going to drink again tonight?"

Feng Xinying forcefully took the bottle of wine handed to her by Yin Ping, her eyes revealing a bit of resentment and helplessness: "Okay, after drinking tonight, I will forget that annoying person. I have given so much for him, can't it even compare to his tiny inferiority complex? Ling'er, I really envy you for being able to marry Yi Chen without any troubles and even have a child. But why is it so difficult for him and me?"

"Yinping, Yinshuang, go soak in the hot springs for a while and come back. We have something to discuss." Lu Linger knew that the next words were not suitable for the maids to hear. Yinping and Yinshuang glanced at each other, and after realizing Feng Xinying's intentions, they nodded silently and left quietly.

In the separate hot spring pool, Lu Linger sat by the edge, gently lowering her legs into the water, feeling the warm current gently surround her. Feng Xinying soaked in the pool, the faint candlelight reflecting off the water, flickering like the faint hope in her heart.

"Sister Xinying, when you go back this time, don't revolve around him anymore. Focus your attention elsewhere. Let Lord Wen understand that Feng Xinying, who used to be his whole world, is no longer there. Let him realize that life without you is just as wonderful, and it doesn't matter with him or not. Such a change may make him truly realize how precious he is." Lu Linger said in a soft but firm tone.

"Do you want me to give up on him?" Feng Xinying frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion and unwillingness in her voice.

Lu Linger shook her head and said softly, "No, it's playing hard to get. When people are around, they always find all sorts of reasons not to cherish them. When they realize they've lost you, or feel a crisis, they will wake up and face their true feelings. If Master Wen remains indifferent, then you can give up completely, sister."

Feng Xinying lowered her head and gently stirred the hot spring water, the ripples spreading out, as if reflecting the turmoil in her mind. "So you're asking me to act indifferent, to stop torturing myself for him, to make him think I've withdrawn all my feelings and am heading down another path?" She spoke slowly, her tone tinged with anticipation and trepidation.

"Yes, let him know that you have let it go. It doesn't matter whether he is with you or not." Lu Linger's tone was firm, and her eyes showed belief and concern.

Feng Xinying tightly gripped her wine glass, the anguish in her heart gradually gathering into a wave of emotion that suddenly burst out: "I don't want to be hurt again, but he always makes me feel powerless. How should I face this feeling?"

"Perhaps, try not to make him the center of your life anymore." Lu Linger said softly, feeling a hint of unease in her heart. "Maybe he needs to see your strength, rather than your weakness of always being by his side."

Feng Xinying lowered her head in thought, the pain and struggle in her heart gradually easing. It wasn't easy to let go of herself, but if it could make Wen Yuan see her value again, she was willing to try.

"I understand, Ling'er. Maybe I need to give myself a chance to find the me I used to be." Feng Xinying's voice gradually became firm, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if a ray of light was shining through the darkness.

The two of them were silent for a moment, only the sound of the hot spring water gently lapping against the stone edge, as if answering their thoughts. A glimmer of light gradually flashed in Feng Xinying's eyes, and the doubts in her heart began to slowly dissipate. She looked up, a determined look in her eyes: "I will try, Ling'er, thank you."

"It's okay, I'll be with you anytime." Lu Linger smiled, feeling a little warm and comforted in her heart, as if their friendship was even stronger at this moment.

As the night deepened, starlight shone through the clouds, illuminating their faces with warmth and tranquility. Lu Linger thought to herself that perhaps all of this was an opportunity for growth, and that the friendship between her and Feng Xinying would grow stronger through the storms, ready to face the challenges of the future.
