Chi San Yue continued, "Because I'm Father's only daughter, and I'm quite doted upon in the Chi family, when I said I wanted A Xian to accompany me, Father agreed to let A Xian follow me."
"Because A Xian's mother died in a strife within the inner chambers, A Xian hates fickleness the most."
"A Xian resolved from a young age to avenge his mother. He concealed his talent and cultivated in secret behind our father's back, enduring countless hardships before finally reaching his current position."
"Although he never showed it in the slightest on the surface, I know... he still hasn't forgotten his mother's death."
"Therefore, he will be a very devoted, very devoted person."
"No matter who that young girl from ten years ago was, A Xian has chosen you now, which means he's set on you. Even if the young girl from ten years ago returns, he will steadfastly choose you."
Chi San Yue shifted her position, turning to face Ming Zheng.
She also took Ming Zheng's hands. "For many years, to avenge his mother, A Xian has truly endured hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine."
"I can see that you genuinely like A Xian, and you're a good girl."
"Seeing A Xian come out of his ten-year obsession and have a girlfriend he's willing to treat wholeheartedly, as his sister, I'm truly happy."
She tightened her grip on Ming Zheng's hand.
Seeing that Ming Zheng hadn't responded, she reached out again, wanting to pinch Ming Zheng's cheek.
This was the third time.
Before her hand could reach, Ming Zheng had already lifted her eyelids. The dark pupils held a remarkable calmness, devoid of much emotion.
With a single glance, Chi San Yue's hand froze, not daring to proceed.
She pouted and tucked her hands into her embrace. "I just wanted to tell you, you're so beautiful, and A Xian likes you so much. You should have more confidence in yourself."
"I am confident," Ming Zheng said calmly. "But, one thing at a time. Changing the subject doesn't mean I won't continue to ask who that girl was."
Chi San Yue: "..."
Still asking?
So concerned?
Concerned about someone... no one even knows who it is?
There's no need for that!
She shouldn't have spoken up!
What if she ruins her brother's marital bliss?
Chi San Yue suddenly hugged Ming Zheng's arm. "You look unhappy, and I'm unhappy too. Come on, I'll take you out to have some fun and cheer you up!"
Ming Zheng: "?"
She didn't look unhappy at all.
However...
After this little interlude, she really couldn't sleep tonight.
Her heart felt inexplicably heavy.
It wasn't that she couldn't accept that Chi Xian had a white moonlight obsession that lasted for ten years.
Rather, as Chi San Yue had said, Chi Xian was a devoted and loyal person.
For someone to have lingered in Chi Xian's heart for so long...
Could he truly... forget the white moonlight in his heart?
-
Golden Noble Manor.
The largest entertainment venue in Xiadu.
Ming Zheng and Chi San Yue sat at the bar, with countless empty glasses already before them.
Of course, all these glasses had been emptied by Chi San Yue.
Ming Zheng's own glass was only half-finished.
The lights were dazzling and glamorous, and the deafening, explosive music seemed to strike directly at one's heart.
Ming Zheng languidly propped her cheek with one hand, her eyes lazily observing the woman who was continuously downing drinks, all of them with a potent aftereffect.
Under the atmospheric lighting that was so fitting for a nightclub, Chi San Yue's charming face was tinged with a captivating blush.
This only enhanced her allure.
Especially her graceful figure, which seemed boneless, leaning against the bar with a hazy intoxication.
She was truly drawing the gazes of the men in the club.
Especially... when they noticed that no other men were accompanying these two stunning women with their distinct styles.
The greed in their eyes deepened.
"Hey," Ming Zheng tilted her head, looking at Chi San Yue. "You said you'd take me out to have fun and cheer me up, but it's you who's venting your emotions right now."
Chi San Yue propped herself up with her hands on the bar, suddenly lifting her head.
Her thick, curly hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Her enchanting, alluring face was still veiled in a hazy intoxication at the corners of her eyes. "Then you drink! Drink! If you get drunk, you can vent!"
She jumped down from her stool.
The sharp heels landed on the floor.
Her body, soft and unsteady from intoxication, swayed precariously.
She had to lean on the bar to barely stay upright.
She rummaged through the pile of empty glasses in front of her, found her unfinished drink, and raised it to Ming Zheng. "Come on, little sister, let's have a drink!"
Saying this, without waiting for Ming Zheng's reaction, she directly tilted her head back and downed the entire glass.
Her eyes were hazy, and with a charming gaze filled with a misty sheen, she said to the bartender, "Handsome young man, another one!"
The bartender was a very young fellow. He had been paying attention to the two beauties. One of them had already consumed so many potent drinks.
If she continued to drink like this, he feared she wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
He hesitated.
Chi San Yue immediately became insistent, about to act out in her drunken state.
Ming Zheng waved her hand, signaling the bartender to step away.
Then, she reached out and gently took Chi San Yue's slender wrist. "You've had enough. No more drinking."
"Not enough!" Chi San Yue tried to widen her eyes.
But her charming eyes were filled with a hazy vortex; likely, one more drink and she would lose consciousness.
Ming Zheng was already regretting coming out with this drunkard.
She was supposed to be the one cheering up, but now she had to take care of her.
It would have been better to just sleep at home!
If she was feeling restless and suffocated and couldn't sleep, she could have just dragged Chi Xian out of bed so he couldn't sleep either.
Wouldn't that have been enough?
It was better than taking care of a drunkard!
Chi San Yue, with her wrist held by Ming Zheng, tried to break free and find the bartender again.
But with this struggle, her body went limp.
She stumbled forward, completely falling.
Ming Zheng: "..."
Taking a deep breath.
She wouldn't argue with a drunkard.
She reached out and caught the soft, fragrant body that lunged towards her, pulling the woman into her embrace.
The alluring woman embraced by the cold, noble girl.
This scene was enough to send hormones soaring.
Greedy eyes, one after another, fell upon the two of them.
Some people, unable to restrain themselves, were already walking towards them.
And at this moment, Ming Zheng, who had been completely embraced by Chi San Yue, with a blank expression, was about to pull the drunkard up.
But then, the drunkard suddenly hugged her tightly.
Her arms wrapped around Ming Zheng's neck, burying her face in the crook of her neck, and with a cry, she began to sob.
As she cried, she rubbed her tears onto Ming Zheng.
Ming Zheng: "..."
Her blank expression was beginning to turn green.
She reached out to pull the woman away.
Then, she heard Chi San Yue's soft, tearful voice say in her ear, "Wuwuwu, I've been dumped, I've been dumped..."
