For Chi Cheng, there was no way he would let Lin Wanqing and Lin Chun off so easily.
There are so many cruel tortures in this world, and he would let those two won experience every one of them.
Living a fate worse than death was their ultimate destiny.
An Ran lifted her small face to look at him, hesitating as she spoke, "Brother..."
Chi Cheng ca back to his senses, looking down at her, "Hmm?"
"Although Lin Wanqing and Lin Chun have been exposed and have received their due punishnt, you are actually very sad now, aren’t you?"
Chi Cheng was montarily stunned.
Since Mother Chi passed away and Chi Cheng went abroad, he had long learned how to disguise his emotions.
So even if he was angry or sad, no matter what negative emotions he faced, he always maintained a smile.
"Why do you say this all of a sudden?"
"Because..." An Ran said seriously, "I know you are very sad inside, you are actually blaming yourself. Blaming yourself for not being stronger as a child, blaming yourself for not seeing the truth sooner, blaming yourself for not protecting Aunt Chi, blaming yourself... for being apart from for so long, for misunderstanding for so long."
Chi Cheng didn’t say anything, he just quietly gazed at her.
"Actually, you don’t have to bla yourself, brother. Even soone as strong as you was once a child, once wasn’t mature enough. No one is born strong." An Ran wrapped her arms around Chi Cheng’s waist, her fluffy little head rubbing against his chest, "Aunt Chi in heaven would surely be proud to have such an excellent child, she wouldn’t bla you. And I... I am also grateful that fate allowed to et you again."
Chi Cheng always seed to wear an invisible, heavy armor.
He was gentle and refined, seemingly easygoing, yet there was always a touch of distant aloofness.
But now, this girl, soft as a little bunny, could easily penetrate all his disguises and enter his heart.
Chi Cheng spoke softly, "Little fool."
The doctor ca right on ti to check Chi Cheng’s health.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, An Ran instinctively, a bit flustered, tried to push Chi Cheng away.
But Chi Cheng held her even tighter, raising his voice, "Co in."
When the doctor entered, he saw Chi Cheng holding An Ran.
Not knowing what had happened, he approached with a smile, "Mr. Chi, you and your sister seem to have a very good relationship."
Chi Cheng smiled faintly, the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling window casting a warm glow on his face, "She is not my sister, she is my beloved."
Not girlfriend.
Beloved.
The doctor was a little surprised, then quickly apologized, "Sorry."
After saying this, he began examining Chi Cheng’s body.
This was the first ti their undercover romance was brought into the open.
After the doctor left, Chi Cheng released An Ran’s small hand.
During the entire examination, he had been holding An Ran’s hand almost the entire ti.
As if deliberately declaring their relationship to the world.
An Ran: "Why did you suddenly..."
"Because—I want to be openly together with you." Chi Cheng ruffled An Ran’s little head, "Now, in everyone’s eyes, we are no longer siblings, but a couple, understand?"
Being openly together...
It’s wonderful.
Isn’t this what I’ve always wished for?
