Only then did Bai Ruoling realize that all her happiness was fake. For so long, she had been playing the role of a substitute for someone else.
At this moment, Bai Ruoling felt extremely painful. She once thought that Mu Jingcheng loved her, but it was not true. It was nothing. She was just a woman who Mu Jingcheng loved but could not get, so he had to settle for the second best.
Bai Ruoling suddenly wanted to meet that woman, the woman that Mu Jingcheng treasured in his heart.
Late one night, she really went there, and she saw the woman imprisoned in the small stone house. Although she had been imprisoned for several years, the woman's demeanor remained the same, noble and cold. In the night, Bai Ruoling saw her face clearly, and it was 70% similar to her own face.
Bai Ruoling was stunned, completely stunned.
I originally held some humble hope in my heart, maybe, maybe this was just a misunderstanding, maybe the facts were not like this.
But the reality is so cruel. The man taught her how to love, but he only treated her as a substitute.
Bai Ruoling knew the woman's name, Xiao Enci.
And in the years that followed, Bai Ruoling lived under the shadow of Xiao Enci.
When Xiao Enci saw Bai Ruoling, she was not surprised at all. Although she had been locked up for a long time, Mu Jingcheng would tell her many recent events when he came to bring her meals every day.
So she has always known about Bai Ruoling's existence.
The first thing Xiao Enci said to Bai Ruoling was: "Indeed, they look very similar. Since he already has you, why should he continue to imprison me? No matter how many years he imprisoned me, I will never fall in love with him."
Bai Ruoling smiled desolately, with endless pain filling her heart.
The man she loved with her whole life, loved another woman who looked like her, and that woman treated him like a piece of trash.
What a great irony this is.
Bai Ruoling, who was in pain, could no longer be as happy as before. Looking at the man beside her who was still speaking tenderly to her, her heart felt like it was being cut bit by bit by a sharp knife.
She understood that these words were not spoken to her, but through her, to the woman named Xiao Enci.
Bai Ruoling's health was getting worse and worse. Under the torture of pain, she decided to take the risk and let Xiao Enci go.
She first found a boat and docked it in a bay where few people usually went. Then she took advantage of the moonlight to release Xiao Enci.
Xiao Enci held her hand and asked her, "Why did you let me go? You know, Mu Jingcheng can do anything. If you let me go, you might die."
"I let you go to free myself. What could be more terrifying than a dead heart?"
Xiao Enci said no more. She knew that if she didn't leave, it would be very likely that she would be locked up by Mu Jingcheng for the rest of her life.
After she left, the next day, Mu Jingcheng discovered that Xiao Enci was missing, and he also knew that Bai Ruoling had let her go.
Bai Ruoling was tied up and tied to the top of the highest mountain on the island. She was exposed to the wind, sun and rain every day, and was not given any food. Mu Jingcheng seemed to have forgotten that this woman was pregnant with his own flesh and blood.
Three days passed like this, Bai Ruoling was already dying, and Mu Jingcheng appeared.
"Why are you doing this? Jealous?"
Bai Ruoling smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am jealous. I am jealous that you gave your heart to her. I hate you for teaching me how to love. If I had known earlier, I should not have fallen in love with you. Mu Jingcheng, tell me, from the beginning to the end, what am I!"
