Meng Chi felt agitated. She had always been like this. Whenever he and his sister Meng Yao faced their mother’s abuse, she would remain silent, tears falling. She never ran away or complained, seemingly at his mercy, yet he could never bring himself to harm her.
“Sister, don’t you have anything to say to your brother?” The fire in Meng Chi’s heart rekindled.
Ruan Ning shook her head, not daring to speak.
Meng Chi’s tall body loomed over her, casting a heavy shadow on her face. Ruan Ning trembled, instinctively shrinking back, but Meng Chi had already grabbed her hand and twisted it forcefully.
Ruan Ning cried out in pain, tears welling in her eyes. Meng Chi immediately released her, pulling her outer garment up to her chin before stepping back.
Ruan Ning found her hand was fine, but her body continued to tremble uncontrollably, frightened like a rabbit at the slightest shock. She wanted to put on her inner garment quickly, but Meng Chi kept staring at her, his gaze unreadable. Ruan Ning didn’t dare move.
After a long while, a mocking smile appeared on Meng Chi’s lips: “I searched for so long, only to find you’ve become a nun.” He received no response, as Ruan Ning continued to cry, trembling like a leaf in the wind. Meng Chi snorted and dropped the carriage curtain.
His anger flared as he kicked the horse’s rear, causing it to bolt in fright. The girl in the carriage let out a suppressed cry. That sound lingered, making Meng Chi feel restless. His expression grew colder, but he tightened his grip on the reins, controlling the galloping horse.
The carriage stopped before a blue-brick courtyard. Meng Chi leaned in, lifting Ruan Ning around her waist and jumping down from the carriage.
The original body was weak, and after a day of turmoil, Ruan Ning felt her heart racing uncontrollably, involuntarily letting out a soft cry.
A hidden pleasure surged in Meng Chi, but he coldly said, “Be quiet. Don’t imitate your shameless mother.”
Ruan Ning trembled, biting her lip and remaining silent. She felt confused; he called her sister but insulted her mother—weren’t they from the same parent?
