“Cough cough! I can’t explain clearly, but I can tell you that Xuan only sees her as a sister. But that woman doesn’t feel the same. She likes Xuan and has a sister who also liked him,” Oh, how should this old lady explain? They’re complicated, and she’s afraid the young girl will overthink.
“A sister? She has a sister?” How did she not know Zhuo Ning had a sister?
And she had never seen her, which was strange.
“She’s dead.”
“Dead? How did she die?” Their expressions showed resentment rather than sadness.
Her name has the character ‘ling’ after it. She died three years ago. Be careful of that woman.” Shangguan Zilin looked worriedly at the young girl.
“Oh? Who is that woman? Why should I be careful?” Luo Yaling was confused.
“That woman is Zhuo Ning. You must be careful of her. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”
“What’s there to be careful about with Ning Ning?” Shen Yixuan appeared angrily in front of them.
“You misheard. Right, old man? We won’t disturb you two.” Seeing her son return, Shangguan Zilin quickly pulled Shen Yiqiang out of the room, not wanting to explain. They were unsure how to tell him, so they retreated.
“You…” Shen Yixuan looked puzzled as his parents fled.
Were they hiding something from him? They escaped so quickly; didn’t they want him to come back?
And why should they be careful of Ning Ning? It was truly odd that whenever he mentioned Ning Ning, their expressions would change. What were they hiding from him?
“Xuan, you’re here.” Luo Yaling happily stood up, pulling Shen Yixuan to sit beside her. She was so happy he came for her, and she had worried he wouldn’t. Moreover, he arrived quickly, just as her aunt-in-law said, by racing?
“Mm.” Shen Yixuan looked at the young girl in front of him, his anger instantly disappearing.
“Did you race here?”
“Mm, I wanted to see my girl quickly! As long as my girl is okay, you know how worried I’ve been. They didn’t do anything to you, right?” Shen Yixuan nervously checked Luo Yaling for any injuries.
“No, don’t race again in the future; it’s dangerous. I’ll be worried too,” Luo Yaling said seriously.
