A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Her heart skipped a beat, and even the air seemed to freeze.

She stared at him dumbly, forgetting time, and even herself. The air was filled with the hot and clean smell of hot spring water, but the weather was cold as if it was going to freeze. Xia Yingluo’s fingertips were a bit white and she held onto her bathrobe stiffly.

Wei Lingnan also looked down at her. Only a few days had passed, but she had already lost weight. Her delicate chin was small and pointed, which caused a faint pinch in his heart. That was strange, how could he feel distressed for people other than Ah Luo? Suppressing the thought that should not be in his heart, Wei Lingnan’s expression became indifferent.

“Nan!” Gu Jinxiu, who had fallen into the pool of water weakly, made a sound filled with grievances. “You’re here? Can you help me up? I think my ankle is twisted. Just now, Xia Yingluo pushed me in, and I didn’t notice...” She didn’t forget to make plans at any time.

Xia Yingluo sneered. “You’re blaming me for twisting your own ankle?”

She knew just how hard she had pushed her, and as long as she wasn’t particularly unlucky, normal people wouldn’t have twisted their ankles. She didn’t know if Gu Jinxiu was unlucky or was just pretending to be? However, she didn’t intend to justify, because the eyes of Wei Lingnan had changed. He was looking at her like she was a stranger. What was the point of justifying herself?

Wei Lingnan’s voice was as cold as ice and snow. “You hurt Ah Luo.” In fact, there was inexplicable irritability in his heart, and he couldn’t explain why. Maybe because Gu Jinxiu’s performance was different from that of Ah Luo in his memory? Whether it was the little princess in memory or the queen, she never talked to him in such a forbearing and aggrieved attitude. She wouldn’t have beat around the bush. The Ah Luo in his memory would directly tell him whatever she needed. The little princess did that, and so did the queen later. If she wanted him to take revenge for her, she would give an order directly, instead of such euphemism.

To a certain extent, Xia Yingluo, who had a straight character, was actually more like Ah Luo. Maybe this was why he thought Xia Yingluo was Ah Luo. It was a pity that it wasn’t her. Wei Lingnan, conscious of his inner thoughts, was vigilant. How could he have such terrible thoughts? How could he be dissatisfied with Ah Luo? The expression on his face was harder, and he looked at Xia Yingluo like a dead woman.

Xia Yingluo was burned by his eyes, and her heart was silent. “What do you want? Kill me to take revenge for Gu Jinxiu?” She said sarcastically to Wei Lingnan. “Come, aren’t you omnipotent?”

Her words were aggressive, but her voice shook slightly.

Wei Lingnan didn’t know how to deal with this matter. Instinctively, she didn’t want to hurt Xia Yingluo. When he met Gu Jinxiu last time, the sound wave almost shattered Xia Yingluo’s internal organs and made him regret it, including the antidote last time were also accidents.

His Ah Luo had returned, and that was enough. Everything else was not that important.

“Don’t let me see you treat Ah Luo like this again.” Thousands of thoughts in his heart finally turned into a verbal warning and Wei Lingnan said to Xia Yingluo, “Leave here.”

Xia Yingluo said, “I will go even if you don’t urge me. I don’t want to stay with you dog couple for even a second.” She raised her head high with her back straight.

“Nan!” Gu Jinxiu was unsatisfied. Xia Yingluo this cheap woman had clearly pushed her into the water, how could Wei Lingnan let it go so easily?

However, Wei Lingnan didn’t look at her.

Not far away, a surprised and worried voice sounded. “Yingluo?”

Xia Yingluo looked around and saw Jiang Yu. She didn’t know when he appeared on the other side of the hot spring path. He looked anxiously at this side and walked over quickly and asked, “Are you okay?”

The path was narrow and only one person was allowed to pass. Wei Lingnan was sandwiched between them. Jiang Yu felt that the man was a bit imposing, but he brazenly said, “Sir, please let me through.”

Wei Lingnan didn’t let him through. He examined Jiang Yu closely. What was his relationship with Xia Yingluo?

Jiang Yu felt his scalp go numb. Being stared at by this man gave him a sense of horror of being stared at by a super beast. Illusion, this must be an illusion...

He comforted himself in his heart and firmly faced Wei Lingnan. In any case, he made up his mind to protect Xia Yingluo, be it as her friend or because of her identity. If something went wrong here, then he would be swallowed by the Li family.

Moreover, he had more or less guessed the identity of Wei Lingnan. Who else but a lover could a woman look at with such eyes?

Jiang Yu’s mind turned to many thoughts, but Wei Lingnan asked him, “Who are you?”

Jiang Yu hasn’t spoken yet. Gu Jinxiu, who was immersed in the hot spring water, had already said, “This person must be Xia Yingluo’s new boyfriend. Needless to say, they came to play together.”

Wei Lingnan’s eyes dimmed. At that moment, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but step back. He felt a substantive murderous force that made his heart rupture.

Gu Jinxiu’s eyes were darkened. Wei Lingnan’s stare at Jiang Yu made her heart sink continuously. She was already Ah Luo, but why did Wei Lingnan still care for Xia Yingluo? He even cared if she had a new boyfriend?

She wasn’t reconciled... she wasn’t!

Gu Jinxiu’s hand secretly fisted under the hot spring water. She must find a way to eliminate Xia Yingluo as soon as possible!

Under Wei Lingnan’s restraint, Xia Yingluo and Jiang Yu left safely. When they walked far away, Jiang Yu felt cold on the back of his neck and couldn’t help complaining. “He’s your ex-boyfriend? It’s good that you broke up with him. He’s so scary as if he’s cannibalistic.”

Xia Yingluo was not interested, and returned to the room dully, shutting herself in.

Gu Jinxiu lied about her ankle and was lifted from the hot spring pool by Wei Lingnan and helped back to her room.

Lying halfway on the large soft bed, Gu Jinxiu frowned and said to Wei Lingnan, “Nan, I’m so uncomfortable...”

“What’s wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?” Wei Lingnan looked at her with concern. “Is it where the foot was twisted still hurt?”

“No, it hurts here...” Gu Jinxiu pointed to her heart in pain. “When I was pushed into the water by Xia Yingluo, it seemed to be oppressing the heart. It’s so uncomfortable...”

Before she finished speaking, her eyes closed and she fainted.

“Ah Luo!” Wei Lingnan rushed up and called.
