In the afternoon, Chu Lian’s carriage delivering food arrived, and Xiaoxiao, upon seeing the food, couldn’t help but sigh at how wonderful the world of the rich was; there were chicken, duck, fish, and at in abundance, enough to feed her whole family.
Chu Lian really did have his heart set on Wang Xiangxiang. Xiaoxiao felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
By that ti, Wang Xiangxiang had woken up. She sat up, looking a lot better than she had in the morning, while Yang Ming’s mother spoon-fed her the chicken soup she had prepared, and Yang Qiu stayed by her side.
"Mother, did anyone co over today?"
Wang Xiangxiang didn’t know why she asked; she just had a feeling that soone had visited while she was asleep.
"Yes," Yang Ming’s mother answered, "Young Master Chu ca."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang’s face turned deathly pale. He ca? Does that an he already knows what happened to ? What will he think of knowing I attempted suicide?
Her eyes reddened, and her vision blurred. She tried to calm herself, but her voice still trembled slightly, "Where is he now?"
"He left in the morning."
Relief washed over Wang Xiangxiang when she heard he had left. She didn’t want him to see her in this pitiable state.
"But he did co to see you while you were sleeping."
Wang Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat. So he had seen her after all, but he didn’t wait for her to wake up before leaving. He must really dislike her. Her heart grew cold in an instant. Of course, the one he liked was Xiaoxiao; why would he want to spare her a second glance?
A mournful smile appeared on her face.
"My child, hurry and drink this too before it gets cold."
"Okay." Wang Xiangxiang agreed, drinking the remaining chicken soup as if she had lost all taste.
Yang Ming’s mother was quite happy to see that she finished the soup and left the room with the bowl.
Wang Xiangxiang crawled back under the covers, staring blankly at the ceiling. So this was how much it hurt to love soone.
"Sister, what’s wrong? You don’t seem as cheerful as you were just now."
Yang Qiu was sensitive and noticed that sothing was off with Wang Xiangxiang, so she asked.
"..." Was it that obvious? She really was soone who couldn’t hide anything. She had to learn to keep things to herself; otherwise, how would she face him in the future? Her affection must remain hidden in her heart. She forced a smile, "No, there’s nothing wrong, sister. Don’t worry."
"Sister, what do you think of Young Master Chu?"
Wang Xiangxiang was taken aback by the question. Why did she ask that? Had Yang Qiu taken a liking to Chu Lian? Turning to look at Yang Qiu, she asked, "Why do you ask? Do you like him?"
Yang Qiu laughed sheepishly, "Sister, what are you thinking? I just think you two are very well matched, that’s why I asked."
"..." Well matched? Xiaoxiao had asked her the sa thing once, and her answer had been that it was completely impossible. Now, thinking about it, it indeed seed impossible.
"He’s a good person, but we’re not suited for each other."
Yang Qiu was surprised by her answer and continued, puzzled, "Why? You two really are a good match, sister. You’re so beautiful, and Young Master Chu is both handso and talented, and the statuses of your families are also well matched."
"Heh." Wang Xiangxiang didn’t say anything more but laughed awkwardly. Talking about whether they were matched or not was now too late.
If she were still pure, she wouldn’t care whether he liked Xiaoxiao or not; she would have fought for him regardless. But now, it was all too late.
