682 The Showdown of Lu and Lin 16 (1/2)
At this moment, Lin Xuanyin glanced sideways at Lin Xuanji. Her eyes swiftly revealed shock, envy, jealousy and hatred.
Lin Xuanji and she were a pair of twins, but she had been in a deep sleep for so many years, and when she regained consciousness, she realized that she had lost her beauty and youth. She had aged considerably.
Whereas for Lin Xuanji, she still looked the same as she had many years ago.
How could someone still stay so youthful? There were no signs of age on Lin Xuanji's face at all. She was all clad in red, and she still mesmerized everyone.
Lin Xuanyin clenched her fists and did not even feel pain when she dug her nails into her palm. Why?
Why was fate so unfair towards the two of them?
Why was she the one who was forsaken and abandoned?
”Younger Sister, I'm your Elder Sister and Lu Jinwen is your brother-in-law. Are you thinking of having an affair with your brother-in-law?” Lin Xuanyin said accusingly.
Elder Sister?
Lin Xuanji curved her red lips impassively. ”Elder Sister, you've made a mistake. It was not me seducing Brother-in-law, but Brother-in-law refusing to let me off. Elder Sister, you should discipline your own husband.”
”You…” Lin Xuanyin was rendered speechless.
”Alright, don't speak anymore. Let's have dinner.” Lu Jinwen got up and walked out.
…
At dinner.
Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanyin sat down but Lin Xuanji remained standing.
Lu Jinwen looked at Lin Xuanji and arched his good-looking brows. ”What are you standing there for? Come and have dinner.”
Lin Xuanji shook her head. ”I won't be able to eat at all if I sit there. Mr Lu, you have a habit of flirting with women around you and that makes me lose my appetite.”
Both sisters were having dinner together with him. Would the next step mean both sisters were going to bed together with him? It was nauseating to think about it.
Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips and his handsome features suddenly turned somber.
Refusing to look at them, Lin Xuanji turned around and left.
She went outside and sat down on the balcony. At this moment, Butler Ye walked over and handed her some dry rations. ”Madam Xuanji, Sir asked me to send this over to you. Please eat this to fill up your stomach first. Your dinner is being prepared by someone else and will be delivered to your room shortly.”
”Oh, thank you.” Lin Xuanji unwrapped a biscuit.
Butler Ye looked at Lin Xuanji. He wanted to speak but he found it difficult to do so. ”Madam Xuanji, actually, Sir is very good to you. It has been so many years and Sir has been looking for you all this time, and Sir…”
Sir loved her very much.
This day, Sir touched a bit of the ”Passion Water” and the acid burnt through the skin on his toe. It was he who had helped Sir to manage Sir's wound. Sir did not permit him to reveal anything about this, especially to her.
Sir did not wish to let her know.
Lin Xuanji did not seem to hear Butler Ye's words. She raised her head and looked at the stars in the night sky.
”My daughter… Does she look like me or him?”
She asked in a soft voice.
Butler Ye was silent for a few seconds. He wanted to speak, but just then he saw a tall and handsome figure from the corner of his eye. Lu Jinwen had arrived.
Butler Ye promptly retreated a couple of steps.
Lu Jinwen stood behind her. He looked down at the woman, who was sitting on the steps. Almost instantly, his black cashmere coat was draped over her body, and only her head was exposed. Her slender legs were swinging about in mid-air, and she resembled a young girl.
He did not know if a man could be infatuated with a girl for long. The only thing he knew that he was still mesmerized by her, even after so many years.
”Mo'er looks like you. She is the spitting image of you,” he said gently.
”Is that so?” Lin Xuanji curved her lips, and exuded the tenderness of a mother. ”Is that man good to my daughter?”
”Good. Mo'er is not as headstrong as you and she knows how to rely on and coax men, and so she is happier than you.”
