The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 310: The Dreamscape Created by Cheng Qingye
She was a player in the game, a player being toyed with by the mist.
She couldn’t detect Shen Shi’s murderous intent toward her.
But Lu Shinian would definitely be able to discover it.
He sensed Shen Shi’s intent to kill her, knew she was deceived back to the Imperial Palace by Shen Shi, and perhaps even knew that part of the Insect Race had invaded the Imperial Palace.
Although the situation was perilous and unpredictable, if it were Lu Shinian, if it were Lu Shinian who loved her dearly, he would surely find a way to rush back and save her.
He indeed returned in their past life.
Within five minutes of her death, full of murderous aura, and covered in blood.
Just five minutes too late, just, five minutes.
Cheng Qingye watched the suddenly somber Su Ruan and added, "I asked him if something unexpected had happened."
"But he said, no, there were no unexpected incidents."
He propped his chin with one hand, showing a hint of interest, "So do you know what he meant by that?"
Su Ruan slowly lifted her head and smiled.
Her face was smiling, but her eyes carried a hint of tears.
"I know," she said with a smile, "I think I understand him better than he imagines."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qingye pressed on.
Su Ruan looked at Cheng Qingye, but seemed not to see him, and spoke, "The common trait of those in power is not just a strong desire for control, they are also very conceited."
"No, not conceited, but confident, absolutely confident in their abilities, confident in their desire to control."
Cheng Qingye agreed.
He himself was someone with a strong desire for control and was very confident in himself, not thinking it as a bad thing.
As a leader, if you’re not confident in your own decisions, how can you lead others?
"That’s not a bad thing," Cheng Qingye replied with a bit of seriousness.
"It’s not bad." Of course, Su Ruan understood that people were different.
Some people are naturally suited to be leaders, some are naturally suited to be followers.
These vastly different personalities make the world interesting.
She never thought Lu Shinian’s desire for control and absolute confidence were bad, just that...
"Just that when these mix with love, every choice made could lead to irreversible consequences."
Cheng Qingye frowned slightly, shaking his head.
"Too profound."
"I don’t understand."
"Human emotions are really complicated."
Su Ruan smiled slightly.
"Put simply, Lu Shinian at that time really knew what I was doing." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"He had control over all my movements, and those of everyone around me."
"He knew Shen Shi wanted to kill me and knew I had returned to the Imperial Palace."
"He was also confident he could save me."
"Rescue at the last second, how classic a heroic rescue story."
Cheng Qingye imagined the scene in his mind and nodded, "Sounds good."
"So was there an accident after all? Otherwise, why didn’t he save you?"
Su Ruan shook her head, "There wasn’t any accident."
"He just wanted to give me a punishment."
"What punishment?" Cheng Qingye inquired further.
Su Ruan didn’t answer him, only murmured, "We just never thought it would turn out that way."
Cheng Qingye: ...
Talking with humans is such a hassle.
Why can’t everyone be as simple as insects?
"Sister, could you speak a bit simpler?" Cheng Qingye asked.
Su Ruan snapped back to reality, blinked, "I’ve already made it very clear."
Cheng Qingye: ???
"Really?" he asked, confused.
Then why didn’t he understand?
"Really," Su Ruan affirmed, the tears in her eyes had faded.
"If you don’t believe me, tell these words to Lu Shinian, he’ll definitely think I’ve been very clear."
Cheng Qingye let out an "Oh," stood up, "Then I’ll go talk to him again."
He went to find Lu Shinian and conveyed Su Ruan’s words to him.
Finally, he asked, "Did you understand?"
Lu Shinian replied lowly, "Mm."
Cheng Qingye: ???
Why didn’t he understand?
Could he be a fool?
No, how could he be a fool?
He’s not the big brother.
It must be that the way humans talk is too complicated, or maybe his sister and Lu Shinian were playing some kind of charade, it definitely wasn’t the literal meaning they expressed, that’s why he didn’t understand.
He pressed Lu Shinian, "Are you playing some charade behind my back?"
"No," Lu Shinian responded blandly, "Ruan Ruan already explained it very clearly."
Cheng Qingye: ...
In the end, Cheng Qingye didn’t get the answer he wanted from Lu Shinian.
It seemed like he was just a small step away from the truth, but that damnably small step, he just couldn’t figure it out.
Cheng Qingye naturally couldn’t allow anything to escape his control, even though this was considered a matter between his sister and Lu Shinian, but his sister was his family, and there’s nothing wrong with caring about family, knowing what happened to them, uncovering those truths, right?
Of course not.
To satisfy his own need for control, Cheng Qingye did something extraordinarily bold.
Based on the information he now had, coupled with some things he learned from past lives, he created a dreamscape once again.
Afterward, he pulled both Lu Shinian and Su Ruan into the dream at the same time.
He wanted to see just what had happened between the two!
—————
In the grand hall, Lu Shinian and Su Ruan had just erupted in a fierce argument.
Just because Su Ruan glanced at another man, Lu Shinian seemed to go mad, punishing her harshly in this great hall.
Su Ruan felt Lu Shinian was crazy, disrespecting her, humiliating her in every way.
She wished she could run far away, so he would never find her.
Above the hall, Lu Shinian sat high on the throne, while Su Ruan stood below, her chest heaving, seemingly very angry.
In mid-air, Cheng Qingye’s figure appeared like a virtual image, sitting cross-legged, propping his chin with one hand, watching the interaction below.
To prevent any accidents, he had designed this dreamscape with special restrictions on the two’s actions.
From what he knew, his sister and Lu Shinian had argued in this hall.
So, to restore the truth, the argument couldn’t be altered.
Although Lu Shinian and Su Ruan were now in the dream, they couldn’t control their dream bodies.
This was to better restore the truth.
Before long, someone entered the grand hall to report the Insect Race’s invasion.
According to what Cheng Qingye knew, Lu Shinian set off to resist the Insect Race, while Su Ruan took the opportunity to escape.
The turning point came after Su Ruan returned to the Imperial Palace.
Only when the time progressed to this point did Cheng Qingye release the control over the two’s bodies, carefully observing their actions.
He couldn’t believe he couldn’t find the truth.
Although his sister and Lu Shinian spoke words he didn’t comprehend, maybe even playing a charade, but with his strength and intelligence, to restore the truth wasn’t a simple task?
