The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 18 Undercurrents and the Dilemma of Choice
The night fell, the bright lights seeming to conceal countless conspiracies and desires. Yun Mengting's heart burned with indescribable anticipation and nervousness. Facing Liu Tianjiao's gaze, it seemed as if a power flowed between them.
"Miss Yun, you surprise me." Liu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickering, and his deep voice was filled with a hint of teasing, "How dare you propose a deal in such an occasion?"
Yun Mengting's heart churned. Despite being at the center of power, the clamor around her was as intense as the surging waves of the ocean, making her realize that every word she spoke could potentially unleash a turbulent storm. She tried to appear calm, her voice steady. "I understand you're working on an important transaction, and I might be able to provide you with crucial information."
Almost instantly, the commotion around her quietly subsided, and everyone's eyes focused on her. Her heart was pounding, and it seemed as if everyone was whispering among themselves, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation. Liu Tianjiao's expression shifted in an instant, like a whirlpool in the deep ocean, inviting a deeper urge to delve deeper.
"Information?" He raised the corners of his lips slightly, his tone revealing curiosity and caution. "Do you have anything worthy of my attention?"
"There are hidden secrets behind this deal, involving many hidden interests." Yun Mengting gritted her teeth. At this critical moment, she had to seize the opportunity. "And those unrevealed truths may have a crucial impact on you, and even the entire situation."
Liu Tianjiao's eyes were scrutinizing, and she sensed a hidden conflict between the tango-like interplay of coldness and tenderness. The crowd began to chatter again, some eyeing her suspiciously, others whispering.
"If I trust you, what's the price of this request?" Liu Tianjiao's question was like a pebble in an undercurrent, stirring up waves in her heart. She knew that her proposal would become her touchstone.
"I hope to gain a broader space, a chance to no longer be constrained by the past." She looked him straight in the eye, trying to make her voice firm and loud. "I want to take control of my own destiny again."
The air seemed to freeze in an instant, heavy and tense. Liu Tianjiao was taken aback for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. Yun Mengting felt an unprecedented shock and excitement, as if, in that moment, she saw a ray of hope at the horizon.
"An interesting proposal." Liu Tianjiao said slowly, a hint of amusement in his tone, "However, alliances are not formed casually. Our trust and cooperation still need to be tested."
The tension within her heart failed to weaken her resolve; instead, it only intensified it. She knew this battle wasn't just a challenge to Liu Tianjiao, but also a challenge to herself. Amidst this turbulent banquet, she must remain true to her original aspirations and courageously forge her own future.
At that moment, the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly went out. A low commotion echoed around her, and her heart raced, as if she sensed a storm was brewing. Yun Mengting's intuition told her that this wasn't just a challenge to a deal, but a prelude to a deeper confrontation.
"Let's talk in the back," Liu Tianjiao whispered, a hint of urgency, as if sensing a potential threat. Yun Mengting shuddered secretly and followed him closely, feeling a flicker of unease, yet she had no choice but to face the unknown that was about to unfold.
Walking into the dark corridor, the silence intensified her inner voice, like the calm before the storm. Faint shadows of light gradually appeared on the corridor walls, and the atmosphere between them was filled with tension and danger. Her heartbeat seemed to beat against the silence around her ears. From the moment she escaped her fate, she could no longer retreat.
"Now, are you ready to embrace the path you have chosen?" Liu Tianjiao turned sideways and looked at her. His penetrating eyes gave her courage and also conveyed a thousand pounds of trust.
She took a breath and looked at him intently, her inner turmoil gradually calming down. "I will definitely do my best. No matter how difficult the future is, I will never choose to escape again."
At this moment, Yun Mengting seemed to straddle the currents of past and future, tragedy and rebirth mingling within her heart. Courage and wisdom, she finally made a choice in this playful game—even if the road ahead was thorny, she would stride forward.
So, under the gazes of the people and the embrace of the undercurrent, she resolutely embarked on a new journey, bravely moving forward towards an unknown future.
