Upon hearing her last sentence, Mo Chuxi’s heart tightened, and he imdiately strode over to her side.
"When did this happen?" he asked.
Mu Qianshui could clearly see that Mo Chuxi’s gaze and expression were filled with care and concern for Yan Xinxin.
Just one sentence from Yan Xinxin was enough to tug at his emotions so easily, but what about her?
Over the years, when had he ever cared about what she said?
"Mu Qianshui, it seems you’re determined to ruin yourself before you’ll behave?"
His cold voice was as sharp as an alarm bell ringing.
Mu Qianshui shivered and snapped back to reality, seemingly unflinching as she t Mo Chuxi’s dark and brooding eyes head-on.
"Chuxi, we’ve been childhood sweethearts for over twenty years. After all this ti, doesn’t that qualify for your trust?"
She forced tears to the corner of her eyes.
"Why did you change so much after my sister passed away? I’ve heard people say that soone changes for another person because they deeply love them. I understand now, Chuxi, you really loved my sister—even after all these years since she’s gone..."
"Oh... I understand too."
Before Mu Qianshui could finish her sentence, Yan Xinxin chuckled and interjected.
Mu Qianshui lifted her innocent, tearful eyes to look over.
"Lady Yan, what do you an?"
"I an that what you’ve said—everything really boils down to the last sentence you just uttered."
Yan Xinxin replied calmly and steadily.
"You really put in effort, didn’t you? Repeatedly reminding that Chuxi only notices because I’m a replacent for your sister, huh?"
"Lady Yan, I didn’t say that."
"But you implied it, didn’t you?"
"..."
Mu Qianshui was montarily at a loss for words, only to see Yan Xinxin raise a smile—right in front of her—and intimately hold Mo Chuxi’s hand!
"I suddenly feel quite fortunate to resemble your sister. Just being able to stand beside Chuxi is already sothing enviable enough."
"..."
Yan Xinxin’s words left Mu Qianshui stunned.
Mo Chuxi was surprised as well, but his handso face remained calm and composed. Instead, he cooperatively tightened his grip on Yan Xinxin’s small hand.
"Mu Qianshui, I honestly understand your feelings. Your repeated attempts to target —it’s all because of jealousy, isn’t it?"
Yan Xinxin’s cutting words exposed her, creating a crack in Mu Qianshui’s carefully crafted facade. But Yan Xinxin didn’t stop there. She deliberately flaunted their affection now to ruthlessly crush this scheming ’white lotus’!
"I suddenly feel a great sense of achievent. The esteed daughter of a socialite family in Ancheng, a top actress in high demand—yet you lost to an utterly ordinary woman like . No wonder you’re so unwilling to accept it, Mu Qianshui."
"Yan Xinxin, you..."
"Shut up."
Mo Chuxi authoritatively interrupted Mu Qianshui, making it clear he was standing up for Yan Xinxin.
"Mu Qianshui, take a good look at this face. She isn’t a replacent for anyone, and you can stop wasting your efforts trying to sow discord. If Xinxin trusted your provocation, she wouldn’t be standing beside today."
"Chuxi, I truly didn’t an that, I..."
"Wasn’t the situation at Xiao Yiran’s cocktail party last ti clear enough?"
Mo Chuxi didn’t even give Mu Qianshui a chance to finish her sentence.
"That dress. That set of jewelry. Do you still not understand?"
The dress?
The jewelry?
Hearing this, Yan Xinxin felt a bit puzzled, but she could clearly see the facade on Mu Qianshui’s face was now about to collapse!
"If you chose to turn a blind eye to what happened that night, then you’d better listen closely now."
Mo Chuxi decisively declared, suddenly raising the hand tightly entwined with Yan Xinxin’s.
"Yan Xinxin will be the woman I marry—the Mo family’s future lady. It can only be her!"
