Xu Junxi was wearing a thin white sweater and a dark coffee colored windbreaker today. He was handsome and smart, and matched Ning Yaos Korean-inspired outfit of a light yellow woolen overcoat. They looked like a match made in heaven when standing beside each other.
Ning Qing saw that Xu Junxi was holding Ning Yaos small hand with his own while putting the other hand around her petite shoulders and half embracing her. Youd caught a cold in the States the other day. Are you feeling better? Did you get car sick just now?
Ning Qing suddenly wanted to laugh. Xu Junxis movements were very cautious, as his expression was full of tenderness and love. Even his voice was as soft and tender as the spring breeze in March. Ning Yao was the apple of his eye, his darling.
What is she to him?
She hadnt seen Xu Junxi look so tender for three whole years, and now hed given all his tenderness to another woman.
Ning Yao rested against Xu Junxis chest as a fragile pet would rest upon a man, with a sweet and lovely smile on her face. Junxi, Im fine. Dont worry.Only then did she notice Ning Qing and her expression changed dramatically. The tears in her eyes were about to spill over. She looked shy but wronged. Sister
Ning Yaos voice was like her own, delicate and sweet, like the singing of birds in spring.
In the past, shed liked Ning Yao because of her shyness. She took her under her wing and treated her like a sister, helped her teach her bullies a lesson, and brought her to the upper class.
But she never wouldve thought that shed been the farmer in the fable The Farmer and the Snake.
Ning Qings mouth formed a sarcastic arc as she sneered. The Lamborghini had driven over just now, and unless the people inside were blind, she didnt believe that they hadnt seen her.
Acting lovey-dovey in front of her, then pretending to be afraid of her now. People who were unaware wouldve thought that shed bullied her, but she kept mum.
Ning Qings sneer caused Ning Yao to shrink back and bury her petite shoulder in Xu Junxis arms. She looked at Xu Junxi, her expression full of panic and helplessness,as if asking for help.
Xu Junxi immediately frowned at Ning Qing unhappily. Whats with your attitude, Ning Qing? Ning Yao is your sister. She didnt want to fight with you. In order to avoid you, she left and went to America for three years. What else do you want her to do?
Ning Yao didnt fight with her. But did she really go to America to avoid her? Ning Qing smiled and said, Oh, really? In that case, what is she doing back here?
You Xu Junxi couldnt think of a reply. Ning Qing, I hadnt expected you to become so selfish.
A flash of glory appeared in Ning Yaos eyes when she heard those words, but her expression was sad as she grabbed Xu Junxis sleeve and pleaded, Junxi, stop talking, its all my fault. Sister, will you forgive me? I hope our family can be happy together, I
You said you were wrong and want me to forgive you. Fine. Now tell me how you were wrong, Ning Qing interrupted.
Ning Yao didnt know how to respond.
Ning Qing smiled as she approached her step by step. Your mother secretly gave birth to you and committed adultery behind her best friends back. Over the years, youve hidden beside me, pretending to be pitiful and weak, but youve coveted everything about me. Youve destroyed my happy family and snatched my fianc. Now youre shamelessly asking me to forgive you? Ning Yao, you make me sick!
Ning Yaos little hands clenched into tight fists. She suppressed the anger in her heart, temporarily allowing Ning Qing to revel in her ranting.
