He Jinxia couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. "Initially, I thought Zhang Yingru was quite shrewd, but now that you've put it like this, I think she's completely foolish."
Sheng Yan was infected by Jinxia's chuckle and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, asking in a low voice, "Feeling any better?"
He Jinxia sighed softly and said gloomily, "No, I actually feel worse, kind of defeated.
I thought I was a player in the game, able to manipulate others' fates; in the end, I'm just an onlooker."
Sheng Yan, not often one to comfort others, replied, "What you're lacking now is time. Once you've seen more, you'll be able to grasp these things without even thinking."
He Jinxia silently ridiculed in her heart: Hasn't she experienced enough, having lived through two lifetimes? She's at least a decade older than Sheng Yan if both lives were combined!
