Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon returning to her room and seeing the familiar decor, Weiai was in a daze.
While she laid on the bed and thought about how to deal with Meng Xinlan, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already night time.
“Xia Weiai, good luck, you can do this!”
After she washed up, Weiai looked at her reflection in the mirror and encouraged herself.
“Ding ling—”
Suddenly, a crisp sound entered her ears.
She looked down and saw the bracelet on her hand. It was shining and was extremely beautiful.
However, she felt disgusted upon thinking about how it was given to her by Shen Shaobai. She took it off and casually threw it aside. She was at home and he was on the island, how would he know if she was wearing it or not?
Weiai did not realize that there was a blinking red dot on the bracelet where the crystal and diamond came together.
She opened the door and was about to walk down.
However, unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Meng Kexin standing not far away as if she was waiting for her.
Weiai frowned and watched as she approached with a smile.
She thought about how she was Meng Xinlan’s daughter and how she addressed her as “older sister” the first time they met. She did not like the familiar attitude.
“Are you going down, older sister?”
As she thought, Meng Kexin spoke in a sweet voice.
At the same time, she reached out to grab Weiai’s arm.
Weiai looked at her coldly and moved her arm back to avoid her touch. At that moment, there was an awkward look on Meng Kexin’s face, but she still continued smiling.
“You should be straightforward with your words.”
Weiai did not want to get entangled, so she kept a distance.
Meng Kexin continued to smile and opened her eyes wide, appearing innocent. “Older sister, do you like Brother Tianchen?”
Brother Xu?
Weiai was stunned. She did not expect her to bring Xu Tianchen up.
She squinted her eyes and could guess slightly. She replied coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
“Don’t misunderstand me, older sister. In the afternoon, I heard daddy talking to Brother Tianchen about the arranged marriage. However, I did not expect that Brother Tianchen would reject it immediately. He said that he did not like older sister.”
Meng Kexin spoke in a gentle voice, and her intentions were clear.
Weiai was stunned and she felt her heart ache. She had always been in love with Xu Tianchen. However, she clearly knew that he treated her the same way as Tianxue; he saw her only as a younger sister.
Hence, she kept her feelings to herself and wanted to stay by his side.
She was aware about the arranged marriage between the two families and she did hope that he would agree to it. But she did not think that he would actually reject it. Although she had expected it, she still felt sad.
“Even if it’s like that, what does it have to do with you?”
Weiai replied with a cold smile. She did not believe that Meng Kexin brought it up casually.
“Older sister…”
“Don’t call me older sister! There is only the two of us, aren’t you tired of pretending?”
She interrupted Meng Kexin coldly. Weiai had a disdainful look and she wanted to expose her true self.
No matter how patient Meng Kexin was, she could no longer tolerate her sarcasm. Thus, she could not hold back her anger and retorted. “Since Brother Tianchen doesn’t like you, you should grow some self-awareness and back off!”
Weiai heard what she said and felt extremely angry. She walked forward steadily. “Meng Kexin, you should not go around poking your nose in my business!”
As she finished speaking, at the same time.
Meng Kexin, who was in front of her, gave a mysterious smile. While Weiai was still in confusion, she quickly grabbed her palms. Soon after, Weiai felt that her hands were controlled by Meng Kexin and before she could stop herself, her hand waved forward.
“Slap—”
Suddenly, there was a loud slap.
Weiai did not expect to hit Meng Kexin.
“I’m sorry, older sister! I just wanted to come up and ask you to join us for dinner downstairs. I did not know that you hated me this much, it is all my fault…”
At that moment, Meng Kexin held her face and tears streamed down her face.
“You…”
“Weiai, how can you be so nonsensical?!”
