Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What have you been doing all these years?”
Hua Zi looked a little sad as she continued, “Forget it. I only married a small family, and he was a stepson of his father. He used to depend on his father-in-law and didn’t want any other children. I wasn’t as lucky as you are. You found someone so great.”
The woman then took out a packet of cigarettes before passing it to Xie Qingyan.
Xie Qingyan shook her head and said, “I got rid of the habit.”
The woman choked up as she said. “Looks like you’ve really quit.”
Xie Qingyan was humored by the woman, “Quit? Why are you referring to me as if I am a prostitute? You are a married woman as well, would you be doing the same things as you did in the past?”
Hua Zi was stunned, but she smiled and did not say anything else.
When they were still assassins together years ago, Xie Qingyan never agreed to anything that was against her own will. As for her, she had been forced to sacrifice a lot of things which caused her to lose the ability to bear children. How was she any different compared to a prostitute?
“I may be married, but I’m not happy either. At least, I can’t find the same smile on your face. I can feel that you are in love with him, and he is the same to you as well. You must be very happy.”
Xie Qingyan smiled and said, “Happy? That’s just an emotion that everyone has. To stay by a man’s side, share the same bowl of rice, to accompany each other on walks by the sunset, to share a dream together at night, and to have someone to hold whenever life gets tough. We should always be happy with what we have in order to feel blessed, If you don’t, you will always think that someone else has something better than you. You will always want to gamble for more, but most people will lose when they gamble, am I right? There’s only a small number of them who can win?” Hua Zi’s face turned dull when she heard what Xie Qingyan said.
“You’re right. Gambling… .it’s always the dealer who wins. No matter if it’s done willingly or if you were forced to do so, you will never win against the dealer.”
“This is the Phoenix, and I am the dealer.”
Hua Zi shook her head and said, “No, you are not the dealer.”
“Oh? Then who is? No matter who the dealer is, I will be the winner tonight.”
Hua Zi continued shaking her head, “No, you are not even in the game. You are not the dealer nor the player. We’re just the guests here.”
Then, it was Xie Qingyan’s turn to shake her head, “No, you’re not a guest. You’re a player as well. You’re gambling on my mood, and if I were in a good mood, I might let you off the hook by how we’ve had a good past together.”
Hua Zi smiled and threw the cigarette bud onto the ground.
“Qingyan, don’t you think that you’re over-confident? Before you left the unit, I was at the same level as you. I wasn’t anything lesser than you were. Your luxurious days of being the rich wife had already caused you to lose your skills as a killer. You are nothing now compared to me.”
“So….not only are you after my daughter, you’re after me as well?” Xie Qingyan said coldly.
Hua Zi moved backwards and reached out both her arms. She removed the silver accessories that she had on her head before shaking them, turning them into two thin daggers. With the moonlight shining on the weapon, it gave out a sharp, cold glaze.
As for Xie Qingyan, she remained motionless as she stared at Hua Zi. The smile in her eyes was the same, but it was now filled with a murderous intention.
“Qingyan, show me what you’ve got. Don’t disappoint me.”
Xie Qingyan smiled, “Who do you think you are? I was only being nice to you, and you already think that you’re someone great.”.
