Chapter 423 (1/2)

Ximen Wuhen looked at the beautiful sky with sadness in her eyes. Some things were decided by fate, and no matter how hard people try, fate couldn't be changed. For instance, the stars in the sky appears to be extremely close in distance, but everyone knew that the stars in the sky were separated by hundreds of millions of light years.

”I don't ask for much, the only thing I want to do is to stay at my second brother's side throughout my life. It doesn't matter if I have to stand in his shadow. As long as he looks at me once in a while, I am perfectly content. Am I being too greedy?” Ximen Wuhen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She muttered to herself under her breath and a sigh escaped her lips.

Clang, Ximen Wuhen was startled by a loud sound and she instantly turned around. In front of her stood Wushuang who had shock written all over her face. Wushuang clearly heard what Ximen Wuhen said a moment ago.

”Big sister Wushuang, you……” Ximen Wuhen was bewildered and she only had one thought in her mind. She thought that her life would be over the moment Wushuang told Long Yi what she said. Imagining how Long Yi would react, Ximen Wuhen was afraid that Long Yi would ignore her forever if he heard what she said.

Very quickly, Wushuang came back to her senses even though Ximen Wuhen's words kept replaying in her mind. She had just left Long Yi's side in order to take a breather, and she was feeling extremely relaxed before she heard what Ximen Wuhen said. She wanted to take a breather because her feelings were in disarray. Sometimes, Wushuang would gnash her teeth in anger as she thought about how she was unable to give Long Yi her everything.

Flying to Ximen Wuhen's side, Wushuang lightly patted her shoulders. In a soft voice, Wushuang rea.s.sured Ximen Wuhen, ”Wuhen, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about what just happened.”

Ximen Wuhen cultivated light magic, so she woke up very quickly from her absent-mindedness. She looked at Wushuang who was similarly wearing a clean white robe with a complicated gaze. Thinking about how her deepest secret was exposed, Ximen Wuhen's face turned red. Other than Aunt Ou whom she had impulsively poured out her heart to two years ago, n.o.body else knew about her secret. Ximen Wuhen had the intention to bury her secret deep in her heart throughout her life, but now, it seemed unlikely.

”I love my second brother. I know it's wrong, but I can't control my feelings at all.” Ximen Wuhen no longer concealed her feelings and calmly looked at Wushuang. Subconsciously, she believed in Wushuang. Besides, guarding a secret which cannot be spoken of was too stressful. This time, having a person to pour out her heart out to was certainly not a bad thing.

”But, he is your biological big brother. How can you develop such feelings for him?” Wushuang said. There wasn't an expression of shock on her face. She only asked Ximen Wuhen and she didn't seem to be too curious.

A bitter smile slowly appeared on Ximen Wuhen's face and she explained to Wushuang in a soft voice. ”Previously, I really hated my second brother. I hated him to the core. However, when I saw him again in Mea Princ.i.p.ality, he had completely changed. I was slowly able to get along with him, and I fell hopelessly in love with him. Whenever I didn't see him, I couldn't help but have a longing feeling in my heart. When I get to see him, I would feel extremely delighted. Whenever I see him with other women, jealousy would full me and when he dotes on me, I would feel very happy. These feelings are the truest feelings I can ever have. Even if I could deceive others, I cannot deceive myself.”

Wushuang lightly shook her head and sighed. A trace of pity appeared in her eyes when he looked at Ximen Wuhen. She held her ice-cold little hand and asked, ”Then, what do you plan to do from now on? Do you truly want to stay beside him your entire life?”

”Mmm, this was already destined from the moment I fell in love with my second brother. I can only smile and stand at his side as his younger sister until I stop breathing one day.” The tone of Ximen Wuhen was flat, but anyone could hear her firm determination.

Wushuang looked at Ximen Wuhen's slightly pale face. She felt unbearable as she was helpless. This kind of love was absolutely not possible in this secular world. Even Long Yi might not accept this kind of love. She knew that even though he was romantic and unreasonable, this matter was clearly beyond his scope of acceptance.

Other than consoling Ximen Wuhen, Wushuang couldn't think of any other things to say.

Early morning, sunlight spilled from the windowsill, and spotted light illuminated two bodies on the large bed. It seemed so harmonious and peaceful, but there was a bit of ** mixed into it.

In Long Yi's embrace, Long Ling'er opened her hazy and beautiful eyes as she moaned comfortably. Remembering the lonely two years without Long Yi in her life, she was extremely happy to experience sleeping with him again.

Long Ling'er bit her lower lip and her eyes shone. With a serene expression, Long Ling'er stared at Long Yi's face. Compared to two years ago, he looked more mature. After careful observation, she could see that Long Yi had grown manlier in the time he was away.

Long Ling'er involuntarily reached out her jade hands as she caressed Long Yi's face. Feeling the outline of his face, a happy expression appeared on her face.

”This lazy pig is actually still sleeping…” Long Ling'er muttered softly. Holding on to a lock of her hair, she mischievously stretched it to his nostrils.

”Eh, why is there no reaction?” When she saw that Long Yi had no reaction when she tickled his nose, Long Ling'er couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

”So hateful! You scoundrel, you're pretending to be asleep!” Long Ling'er immediately realized what was going on. She quickly pounded her tiny fists on Long Yi's chest as she grumbled.

Long Yi smiled and opened his eyes. Lifting his hand, he easily caught her hands. A smile quickly formed on his face and he said, ”Ling'er you seem to have gotten smarter. You were able to realize my trick so quickly, this is really unexpected.”

”Laugh! I want you to laugh!” Long Ling'er pinched Long Yi's face as she grumbled in a flirty manner.
