I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Cecilia felt a surge of immense, chilling anger rush to her head, instantly overwhelming her reason.

Deep within my heart, a paranoid and insane voice screamed.

Kill her!

Kill this shameless bitch who seduced Gu Yan!

However, the next second, her gaze was fixed on Gu Yan's hand being led by Lin Jinyu, and on the image of Lin Jinyu's healthy, slender, and powerful legs moving gracefully with the dance steps.

The rage in her heart was like a bucket of ice water being poured over it; it extinguished quickly with a hiss, and transformed into a deeper, duller pain that slowly seeped into her limbs and bones.

Her hands unconsciously rested on her legs, which were covered with a thin blanket.

Beneath the silk miniskirt she wore in summer, her legs, once hailed as the empire's most perfect work of art but now unable to stand, seemed to have lost all feeling.

She pinched hard, her nails digging into her soft skin and leaving deep marks, but she was completely unaware.

In her eyes, Lin Jinyu and Gu Yan's dance steps seemed to become more and more in sync, more and more perfect.

One is as fiery as the sun, the other as serene as moonlight; they seem destined to revolve together.

The rage in my heart was gradually replaced by an endless sense of desolation.

She looked down at her legs, which were hidden under the blanket.

Yes... Gu Yan would definitely prefer a healthy, lively girl who can dance and run with him, right?

Cecilia Chen has never truly felt inferior because of her legs, from childhood to adulthood.

She possesses an S-class superpower that is rare in the world, wisdom that surpasses her peers, and the vast wealth and power of the Chen family.

She always felt that these dazzling halos were enough to cover up any flaws.

But now, looking at this scene before her, she felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, a suffocating pain spreading through her. Those halos seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

Who would truly fall in love with someone who is... a cripple who can't even stand up?

An intense, unprecedented sense of inferiority overwhelmed her like a surging tide.

Her icy blue eyes quickly misted over, blurring her vision.

A hot tear unexpectedly welled up in her eye and slid down her pale cheek, followed by a second, then a third...

She suddenly felt short of breath, her chest felt tight, and she wanted to cough.

However, the overwhelming sense of inferiority and sadness that surged up and almost swallowed her up made her cover her mouth tightly, afraid to make a sound.

She is afraid.

She feared that even the slightest noise would shatter the beautiful scene before her, attract the attention of those two, and expose her current disheveled and miserable state.

At this moment, Chen Sinian arrived, panting heavily.

He immediately spotted his daughter in a wheelchair at the garden entrance, and also saw the two people dancing together in the distance, their bodies orbiting each other on Mars.

This scene froze him in place, his scalp tingling.

Finished!

He immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly ran towards Cecilia, calling out in a low voice, "Cecilia! Daughter!"

He ran to the wheelchair, squatted down, and saw the wet tear stains on his daughter's face, and a pair of unexpectedly calm, yet seemingly devoid of all luster, ice-blue eyes.

Beneath that calm lies a bottomless sorrow.

Cecilia slowly turned her head to look at her father, her voice hoarse and unlike her usual self.

"Father……"

"let's go."

"Don't disturb Mr. Gu."

After she finished speaking, she gently turned her wheelchair and silently and slowly drove away from that radiant garden that had shattered her heart into dust.

His back was thin and resolute, as if he had left all the light and heat behind him and was driving alone into the cold shadows.

Chen Sinian squatted on the spot, watching his daughter's departing figure. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. All that remained was a heart full of heartache and overwhelming anger.

Anger directed at Lin Zhenting, and also at the harmonious scene before them.

In the garden, melodious music played and sparks danced lightly, as if nothing had happened.

Only in the shadows of the distant pillars did a blurry figure, seemingly blending into the environment, quietly appear and glance indifferently in the direction Cecilia had left.

That shadow was naturally Lin Zhenting.

He saw Cecilia leave, and he also saw Chen Sinian's almost fiery gaze as he chased after her.

Lin Zhenting first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a faint sense of guilt.

He was actually prepared for Cecilia to make a scene on the spot, which might even lead to a conflict, but he didn't expect her to just leave silently.

This made him feel somewhat guilty, after all, he had really tricked Old Chen this time.

But then I thought about it again, Chen Sinian had also set many traps and dug many pits for himself in the past, so we were all in the same boat.

Moreover, Lin Zhenting would do anything for his daughter.

Thinking about it this way, that bit of guilt gradually subsided.

……

In the center of the garden, the music gradually stopped.

Gu Yan and Lin Jinyu's dance was also coming to an end.

Lin Jinyu seemed to have sensed something, and the corners of her beautiful mouth lifted slightly, forming a victorious smile.

She had just naturally sensed that familiar, cold energy fluctuation approaching.

It was that white-haired bitch in the wheelchair. She even secretly hoped that the other woman would lose control and rush at her, so that she could rightfully, in front of Gu Yan, personally burn this slut who dared to covet Xiao Yan to ashes!

Let Xiao Yan see clearly who is the most suitable wife for him and who can protect him the most.

Unexpectedly, that woman just left like that?

They're quite pragmatic.

Pity.

But it's good that there's one less eyesore.

It seems that Xiao Yan is destined to belong to her forever.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinyu's beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared intently at Gu Yan, who was so close to her, her gaze so intense it almost melted him.

Gu Yan was a little confused by her gaze, still slightly breathless from the dance: "Sister Jinyu...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Jinyu's gaze fall on his lips.

Her full, alluring lips pursed slightly, and then, with a hint of shyness and an even stronger sense of determination, she slowly moved closer to him.

Honestly, the distance, the atmosphere, that breathtakingly beautiful face, and those lips so close to mine...

Any normal man would feel his heart race and want to try it.

But Gu Yan's rationality was frantically sounding the alarm!

"Wait! Miss Lin!"

Gu Yan abruptly turned her head away, simultaneously raising her hand to block, urgently calling for a stop.

Lin Jinyu stopped moving. She blinked, a hint of doubt flashing in her icy blue eyes, then seemed to understand something, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice soft and sweet.

"Xiao Yan, are you worried about being seen?"

"Don't worry, no one will come."

"Even if... someone does come, it's okay."

"If they want to watch, then let them watch."

As she spoke, she tried to get closer.
