When Shangguan Rao looked at Shangguan Wan’s indifferent look, her eyelashes fluttered. “Sister, Brother Yanfeng is not around anymore. How can you still be so calm? Aren’t you feeling upset at all?”
Shangguan Wan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Stepping back, Shangguan Rao looked at Shangguan Wan like she was a cold-blooded monster. “Something happened at the Prince’s palace as soon as you returned to the Capital, and now Brother Yanfeng has gone too. Tell me, are you the one who did that to them?”
Slap!
Shangguan Wan slapped Shangguan Rao hard.
“Mother left early and as the eldest sister, I have always loved and doted on you. Is this how you treat your sister?”
Shangguan Rao was very agitated and her tears kept flowing. “What about you? You knew I liked Brother Yanfeng and you still snatched him from me? Did you treat me as your sister? You married the King and had a prince before. Why can’t you be satisfied? Why did you have to take away the person I liked?”
Shangguan Wan raised her head slightly, forcing the tears back into her eyes.
Sisters fighting for a man was the last thing she wanted to see.
But who was able to explain the irrational feelings and emotions underpinning relationships?
Ye Yanfeng.
She used to hate the sight of Ye Yanfeng. Never would she have expected that she would one day be moved by him.
“Raorao, you may have liked him, but did he ever give you an answer?”
Shangguan Rao was stunned.
Although Brother Yanfeng frequently came to the Shangguan house to look for her and joke with her, he had told her in private that he regarded her only as a little sister, and that she should not waste her time on him.
Before, she did not understand why he always came to the Shangguan house to look for her if he did not like her.
Later, she finally realized that he had an ulterior motive!
“I’m going back to Yukou Border. Now that you’re close to Father and Stepmother, live well with them and just treat it like I do not exist in the future!”
When Shangguan Rao saw Shangguan Wan leaving with the crutch, her pupils constricted.
It was only then that she realized Shangguan Wan was injured!
But when she barged in just now, she did not even ask if she was well! She knew that what she had done had completely hurt Shangguan Wan’s heart!
Elder Sister… Shangguan Rao covered her face with her hands and let the tears seep through the gaps of her fingers.
…
In a flash, four months passed.
The border had been relatively stable the past few years and Shangguan Wan returned from the border to Yukou city. In recent years, she had been focusing on post-war reconstruction.
Many refugees who had been wandering abroad, had come back to rebuild their homes.
In the past year, with the support of the Royal family, the development of the city had gotten better and investors had gradually come to invest.
Capitan Jiang was also at the border. Shangguan Wan worked in the force over at the city in order to take care of Little Xingxing.
Recently they had recruited a group of recruits and Shangguan Wan was looking at them practicing shooting in the training ground.
The new recruits had just come in and were not quite adapted. Some were children of investors who had gotten in through the back door and were lazy and unmotivated.
The instructor criticized them severely. “Look at your results, are you not embarrassed? At your level, even the lieutenant’s son is better than you!”
Shangguan Wan stood by the side and did not speak, but looked solemnly at the recruits. The instructor wanted to say something when suddenly a crisp and childlike voice sounded, “Mom, Uncle Wu.”
Shangguan Wan and Instructor Wu turned around at the same time.
They saw the delicate and handsome Little Xingxing in a small military uniform with his hat worn backwards, standing not far away.
The little fellow had a mischievous and domineering air to him and Shangguan Wan looked at him, both exasperated and filled with affection at the same time. This child, she really did not know who he took after!
