At this moment, Lin Xuanyin glanced sideways at Lin Xuanji. Her eyes swiftly revealed shock, envy, jealousy and hatred.
Lin Xuanji and she were a pair of twins, but she had been in a deep sleep for so many years, and when she regained consciousness, she realized that she had lost her beauty and youth. She had aged considerably.
Whereas for Lin Xuanji, she still looked the same as she had many years ago.
How could someone still stay so youthful? There were no signs of age on Lin Xuanji’s face at all. She was all clad in red, and she still mesmerized everyone.
Lin Xuanyin clenched her fists and did not even feel pain when she dug her nails into her palm. Why?
Why was fate so unfair towards the two of them?
Why was she the one who was forsaken and abandoned?
“Younger Sister, I’m your Elder Sister and Lu Jinwen is your brother-in-law. Are you thinking of having an affair with your brother-in-law?” Lin Xuanyin said accusingly.
Elder Sister?
Lin Xuanji curved her red lips impassively. “Elder Sister, you’ve made a mistake. It was not me seducing Brother-in-law, but Brother-in-law refusing to let me off. Elder Sister, you should discipline your own husband.”
“You…” Lin Xuanyin was rendered speechless.
“Alright, don’t speak anymore. Let’s have dinner.” Lu Jinwen got up and walked out.
…
At dinner.
Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanyin sat down but Lin Xuanji remained standing.
Lu Jinwen looked at Lin Xuanji and arched his good-looking brows. “What are you standing there for? Come and have dinner.”
Lin Xuanji shook her head. “I won’t be able to eat at all if I sit there. Mr Lu, you have a habit of flirting with women around you and that makes me lose my appetite.”
Both sisters were having dinner together with him. Would the next step mean both sisters were going to bed together with him? It was nauseating to think about it.
Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips and his handsome features suddenly turned somber.
Refusing to look at them, Lin Xuanji turned around and left.
She went outside and sat down on the balcony. At this moment, Butler Ye walked over and handed her some dry rations. “Madam Xuanji, Sir asked me to send this over to you. Please eat this to fill up your stomach first. Your dinner is being prepared by someone else and will be delivered to your room shortly.”
“Oh, thank you.” Lin Xuanji unwrapped a biscuit.
Butler Ye looked at Lin Xuanji. He wanted to speak but he found it difficult to do so. “Madam Xuanji, actually, Sir is very good to you. It has been so many years and Sir has been looking for you all this time, and Sir…”
Sir loved her very much.
This day, Sir touched a bit of the “Passion Water” and the acid burnt through the skin on his toe. It was he who had helped Sir to manage Sir’s wound. Sir did not permit him to reveal anything about this, especially to her.
Sir did not wish to let her know.
Lin Xuanji did not seem to hear Butler Ye’s words. She raised her head and looked at the stars in the night sky.
“My daughter… Does she look like me or him?”
She asked in a soft voice.
Butler Ye was silent for a few seconds. He wanted to speak, but just then he saw a tall and handsome figure from the corner of his eye. Lu Jinwen had arrived.
Butler Ye promptly retreated a couple of steps.
Lu Jinwen stood behind her. He looked down at the woman, who was sitting on the steps. Almost instantly, his black cashmere coat was draped over her body, and only her head was exposed. Her slender legs were swinging about in mid-air, and she resembled a young girl.
He did not know if a man could be infatuated with a girl for long. The only thing he knew that he was still mesmerized by her, even after so many years.
“Mo’er looks like you. She is the spitting image of you,” he said gently.
“Is that so?” Lin Xuanji curved her lips, and exuded the tenderness of a mother. “Is that man good to my daughter?”
“Good. Mo’er is not as headstrong as you and she knows how to rely on and coax men, and so she is happier than you.”
Oh, that was good.
It was good that her daughter was happy.
Lu Jinwen hunched his body and tousled her silky hair. “If you really want to see Mo’er, I will bring her over tomorrow.”
Lin Xuanji lowered her luscious lashes and bit a small piece of her biscuit. There was no longer any opportunity to see her daughter.
Because if she were to see her daughter now, she would not be able to leave.
She had to leave.
Tonight.
Lin Xuanyin was here already. It was such a good opportunity. She definitely had to leave.
“Mm.” She nodded her head patronizingly and shifted to one side to evade his touch.
Lu Jinwen pressed on her shoulder and moved her back. He coaxed in his low voice, “Are you angry? The conditions are not that good outside. I’ll take note in the future and not let you eat with Xuanyin.”
Ha.
An indifferent smile crossed Lin Xuanji’s face.
Lu Jinwen felt that she was not being authentic. It seemed like she was brushing everything aside. He hunched his body and kissed her red lips.
Lin Xuanji did not move and allowed him to kiss her.
As Lu Jinwen sucked on her soft lips, it wasn’t long before he slipped his tongue into her mouth. There was the sweetness of the biscuit in her mouth. He had not eaten his dinner just now, and now he was taking in all the juices of the biscuit into his own mouth.
Crash! A bowl fell onto the ground as Lin Xuanyin appeared.
Lin Xuanyin looked at both of them. Lin Xuanji was sitting on the steps and Lu Jinwen was kneeling by her side kissing her lips with his hand on her face. Both their lips and tongues were entwined.
She blanched and her face went pale.
Lu Jinwen gradually released Lin Xuanji’s lips at the disruption. He turned his head, looked at Lin Xuanyin and arched his brows in displeasure.
The tension was a little awkward and Butler Ye spoke up, “Madam Xuanyin, your room has already been prepared. You may take a rest now.”
Lin Xuanyin looked at Lu Jinwen. “Jinwen, are you sleeping with me or Younger Sister tonight?”
Whose room would he go to tonight?
Lu Jinwen did not manage to reply. At this moment, Lin Xuanji fell into his broad chest.
“What happened?”
Lin Xuanji looked up and held her forehead. Her face was a little pale. “I feel dizzy. I don’t feel well.”
“Let’s go back to the room.” Lu Jinwen immediately carried her and sent her back to the bamboo hut.
Lin Xuanyin froze on the spot. It was as if she had been pushed into a deep valley. Lin Jinwen did not even look at her, he merely carried Lin Xuanji back to the room.
Lin Xuanji’s dizziness happened at such a moment. She must had done it intentionally.
As she glanced sideways at both of them, all she saw was Lin Xuanji looking at her from the man’s arms. Lin Xuanji curved her lips and mouthed some words —- I’ll wait for you.
Lin Xuanji told her —- I’ll wait for you.
Lin Xuanyin’s expression changed, but Lu Jinwen had already carried Lin Xuanji back into the room. Both of them disappeared from her sight.
…
At the bamboo hut.
Lin Xuanji was placed on the soft, large bed. She had not moved yet. The man’s hand grasped her little face. “Darling, you did it on purpose, hm?”
Lin Xuanji looked up at the man above her. “What do you mean?”
Lu Jinwen arched his good-looking brows seductively. “You were afraid of me going to bed with Xuanyin.”
