Chapter 393 – The Confession
“What did she say?” Lin Wangshu asked anxiously.
Shen Huai looked up at her, speaking slowly, “She said, in this world, it’s either you, Shushu, who dies, or her.”
“She said that only by killing you and the baby could she live well in this world and get everything she wants.”
“And you and the baby are her biggest obstacles.”
“She also said that she has already gotten many things, and once Shushu… once you are dead, everything will be hers, and she will have nothing to worry about anymore.”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Wangshu’s heart jolted again.
The suspicion she had harbored deep inside was now confirmed without a doubt.
“I knew it. I knew she was behind all of this.”
“Xu Jinning, why do you always have to take what belongs to me?”
Lin Wangshu muttered, her eyes filled with hatred for Xu Jinning.
“Shushu, before I woke up, that person named Xu Jinning said one more thing.”
“What else did she say?”
“I don’t remember the exact words, but I remember two: ‘transmigrate’.”
“Shushu, what does “transmigrate” mean? It seems to be related to both you and her.”
When Lin Wangshu heard the words “transmigrate,” the last trace of doubt in her heart vanished.
At this moment, Lin Wangshu’s eyes and heart were filled with hatred and fear towards Xu Jinning.
Shen Huai’s dream had completely matched her previous suspicions.
So, the root of everything was Xu Jinning.
Xu Jinning, she really deserved to die!
“Xu Jinning, why don’t you just die? Why did you have to live again?”
“Everything here is mine. Why do you keep taking what’s rightfully mine?”
“Xu Jinning, Xu Jinning…”
Lin Wangshu kept calling Xu Jinning’s name through gritted teeth. If Xu Jinning were in front of her now, she might have torn her to pieces.
“Shushu, calm down. You still have me and the baby. We’ll always be by your side.”
“Shushu, I’m your husband. We’re a couple; we’re one.”
Gradually, Lin Wangshu regained her composure and looked at Shen Huai.
Yes, she still had Shen Huai. He was her destined male protagonist and husband. They were one, and they would always be together.
“Shushu, if something that belongs to us has been taken away, I’ll help you get it back.”
“Shushu, don’t be afraid. You still have me.”
“No matter what, I’ll always trust you and support you.”
“I will never leave you.”
After saying this, Shen Huai pulled Lin Wangshu into his arms, gently comforting her.
At that moment, Lin Wangshu’s reliance on and trust in Shen Huai reached a new height.
“Shushu, I actually know that you’ve been hiding something from me.”
Lin Wangshu’s heart skipped a beat, and she was about to say something when Shen Huai held her down gently.
Shen Huai continued, “Shushu, I don’t blame you because I know that even if you’re hiding something from me, it’s for my good. You would never want to hurt me.”
“But Shushu, I have a strong feeling that we’ve reached a crucial moment in our lives.”
“We can’t keep secrets from each other anymore.”
“Shushu, you shouldn’t carry so much on your own. It’s too tiring, too hard.”
“I’m your husband. You can tell me anything. I’ll always trust you unconditionally and support you.”
“Shushu, from your reaction just now, I know you must know this person named Xu Jinning. Who is she?”
“And why did I dream about her and have such a terrifying nightmare?”
“Shouldn’t I know about this too?”
“Shushu, please tell me. I want to share your burden.”
Lin Wangshu had already been feeling a bit unsettled lately because of her own suspicions.
Now, with Shen Huai’s sudden dream and the things he had said, Lin Wangshu finally let go of all her worries. She thought, maybe she should just tell Shen Huai everything.
After all, Shen Huai was now her husband.
And he was also the destined male protagonist in her story.
They were on the same boat, so to speak. If she couldn’t even trust the male protagonist she created, her own husband, then who could she trust?
She didn’t have much influence in Hong Kong at the moment.
The only person she could rely on was Shen Huai.
Another person would mean another idea.
Maybe Shen Huai could help her deal with Xu Jinning.
Moreover, she hadn’t told Shen Huai anything about Xu Jinning or her transmigration.
But Shen Huai had dreamed about it.
What did that mean?
It meant that this was a sign from the heavens, urging her to tell Shen Huai.
To let Shen Huai help her resolve it together.
So, she decided to tell him.
Lin Wangshu mentally prepared herself and began to speak.
“Ahuai, do you really want to know? Things might be even more unbelievable than you imagine.”
“But, Ahuai, everything I’m going to say is true.”
“I know, Shushu, I believe you. Go ahead.”
Lin Wangshu took a deep breath, and under Shen Huai’s expectant gaze, she began, “Ahuai, actually, this world is a book. To be precise, it’s a world created from a novel I once wrote.”
“I’m the female protagonist, and you’re the male protagonist.”
Even though Shen Huai had mentally prepared himself, when he heard Lin Wangshu say these words, shock and disbelief still flashed in his eyes.
This world is actually a novel?
A novel created by Lin Wangshu?
Was he living in the world of a novel?
Was he just a predetermined character?
Even though he had tried to prepare himself mentally, when he actually learned the truth from Lin Wangshu’s own mouth, he couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of absurdity.
It was as if the existence of this world completely defied his worldview and understanding.
As if, all of a sudden, his world became unreal.
Who would want to accept that they were merely a predetermined character?
No one would.
Meanwhile, Lin Wangshu continued, “Ahuai, we were supposed to have great fortune. Everything we did was supposed to go smoothly, we were supposed to be happy, to stand at the pinnacle of this world…”
“But everything was ruined by Xu Jinning.”
“Transmigrate, yes, transmigration means crossing from one world to another.”
“I transmigrated from the 21st century into this world that exists within the novel I wrote.”
“….”
As Lin Wangshu explained, Shen Huai finally understood everything.
According to her, the world he lived in was merely a world from a book Lin Wangshu had written in the 21st century.
And the so-called 21st century was a world several decades more advanced than the current era.
In other words, a future world.
In the book, Lin Wangshu was the female protagonist, and he was her destined male protagonist.
He was supposed to be the head of the Shen family, meant to build a business empire for the Shen clan.
Lin Wangshu’s fortune was meant to aid Shen Huai in his rise.
But unfortunately, everything had been destroyed by a woman named Xu Jinning…
