A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1891 - 447: Determined to Win, For Your Own Good

He thought of that frail little boy who called him brother, and a soft spot unfolded in his heart.

So, she was his twin sister...

He had always thought he was alone, but it turned out there was another person in this world who shared the same blood as he did.

Mingyue looked at the young man before her, the one who was always calm and composed, yet at this moment, his brows were filled with concern. She sighed inwardly, perhaps this was fate.

In this life, the master’s fate is so similar to the previous one.

As Mingyue thought this, Yun Miao naturally had the same thought. Is there really a past life and present life? Is Yun Miao his past life? Or is he Yun Miao’s past life... Otherwise, these coincidences can’t be explained...

He never believed in coincidences without cause.

In any case, he couldn’t possibly abandon Yun Ya and leave now.

"We’ll discuss this later. Our immediate concern right now is the threat of Ji Lanyi. As long as she’s around, Yun Ya and I can never have peace."

In Yun Miao’s eyes, a cold glint flashed briefly.

"Mingyue will always support the master’s decisions," Mingyue said firmly.

——

Yun Ya was taken to have a meal with Ji Lanyi. The two sat at each end of the long dining table, like the two ends of the galaxy, with not a trace of familial warmth, only endless cold and distance.

The crystal chandelier overhead emitted brilliant, dazzling light, but behind its beauty was a profound sense of emptiness and powerlessness. Yun Ya sat at the end of the table, looking at the exquisitely crafted dishes, like works of art, holding the silver chopsticks which felt ice-cold.

"These are all your favorites, try them and see if you like them," Ji Lanyi’s cold voice seemed to come from a distant sky.

Before Yun Ya could move her chopsticks, the maid had carefully placed the dishes that were slightly out of reach onto her plate. Yun Ya picked up the chopsticks and slowly brought the food to her mouth, her movements flawlessly graceful.

Those ever-present eyes followed her, and Yun Ya’s indifferent demeanor was finally met with a satisfied compliment: "Impeccable manners, worthy of being my daughter."

A trace of sarcasm quickly flashed in Yun Ya’s slightly lowered eyes.

She would never forget Ji Lanyi’s teaching from her childhood. From a young age, manners had been deeply ingrained in her bones. In some ways, she supposed she had Ji Lanyi’s strictness to thank.

"I’m full," Yun Ya put down the chopsticks, picked up her napkin, wiped her mouth, and looked up at the woman at the end of the table.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now." With that, she stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait."

Yun Ya stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.

"You’re not so young anymore, and your mother is planning to find you a husband to ensure a stable rest of your life. What do you think about that?"

Her nails dug deeply into her palm, yet Yun Ya replied with a smile: "Hasn’t mother already made a decision? So, my opinion isn’t that important, is it?"

This was the real reason for bringing her back, to use her for a marital alliance. This was probably her greatest value to Ji Lanyi.

Yun Ya only felt it was ironic. Why would she still have any expectations?

"Mother is doing it for your own good, do you understand?" Ji Lanyi said earnestly, looking as if she genuinely cared.

Yun Ya clenched her fists and then relaxed them, saying with a faint smile: "I understand, I’ll leave everything to mother."

Then, without looking back, she left.

Once she was out of that gaze, Yun Ya held onto the railing with one hand, clutching her chest tightly with the other, she took several deep breaths before she felt alive again.

Such hypocrisy! That woman disgusts her to the point of nausea!

Xiao Nan came over to support her, looking at her with worry. Yun Ya waved her hand, "I’m fine."

Holding onto the railing, she slowly moved forward.

Stepping into the elevator, Yun Ya directly pressed the -1 button, and the elevator slowly descended, finally with a "ding," the elevator door opened slowly before her.

Yun Ya walked out of the elevator, moving forward in the direction of the light, but this time she walked for a long time and saw nothing.

She looked around desolately, before her lay darkness extending into the unknown, seemingly endless, inciting infinite terror in her heart.

She chuckled softly a couple of times, it seemed Ji Lanyi had moved them all away.

Last time, they were deliberately brought here to show her their outcome, as a warning that those who opposed her would meet such an end...

Yun Ya suddenly shivered; this place was cold and dark, who knows how many souls were buried here. She quickly left until her feet were on solid ground, letting out a long, deep breath.
