Lu Nuannuan cried for a while before she looked at Lu Shaoyang and said in a pained and hoarse voice, “Alright, I understand… Since you don’t want me as your sister, I won’t have you as my brother from now on! I don’t need you to tell me what to do!” She then covered her face and ran away without giving Lu Shaoyang any chance to respond.

“Nuannuan!” Lu Shaoyang reached out to stop her but missed. He didn’t know what to do. As he looked at his empty hands, he felt like there was a big hole in his heart. He was at a loss.

Meanwhile, Su Ling’s eyes flashed with smug. She realized that she liked the feeling of watching Lu Shaoyang, with whom she had been obsessed, slowly lose everything. He lost the halo around him, the power and influence of his family, and now his family. Since he had only her now, he had no choice but to rely on her. Perhaps this was the only way Lu Shaoyang’s roving eyes would stop. He could only be hers now.

!!

The corners of Su Ling’s mouth curled up, but she quickly suppressed the smile and put on a worried expression as she gently patted Lu Shaoyang’s back. “Brother Shaoyang, why are you still standing here? Lu Nuannuan doesn’t have any money on her, and the court is going to seal this place soon. Nuannuan is a young lady who has never worried about money. Where can she go at a time like this?” Like a good sister-in-law, she continued magnanimously, “Why aren’t going after her? I’ll wait for you at home?”

“But you…” Lu Shaoyang hesitated. His expression showed clearly that he was moved but his eyes couldn’t help but fall on Su Ling’s baby bump. “You’re pregnant. How can I leave you here alone?” In the beginning, he really didn’t care much about the baby Su Ling was carrying. Now, this baby was probably the only thing that tied him and Su Ling together. His bond with Su Ling could only become stronger with this child.

“If I weren’t pregnant, I would have gone after Lu Nuannuan myself.” Su Ling stomped her feet anxiously and urged, “Nuannuan has never been wronged. What if she takes things too hard? I have a chauffeur. I’ll ask my chauffeur to drive me home. Don’t worry about me.”

“Sorry about that.” Seeing that Su Ling had made the necessary arrangements, Lu Shaoyang did not hesitate any longer. He hurriedly planted a kiss on Su Ling’s forehead, got up, and ran quickly after Lu Nuannuan. He was in a hurry, and his heart was filled with worry for Lu Nuannuan and confusion about his own future. Of course, he did not notice the smile on Su Ling’s face. A smile that said victory was close.

When he was down and out, there were two women beside him. One was willful, arrogant and constantly looking for trouble while the other was sensible, considerate and generous. The latter also provided him with endless financial support. When push came to shove, wasn’t it clear who Lu Shaoyang would choose?

Su Ling looked down and gently stroked her baby bump with her fair hands. She said softly, “Baby, don’t worry. After you’re born, you and I will be the only apples in your father’s eyes.”

While the Lu residence was in a mess, Shen Hanxing walked along the green belt of the community. She did not ask her chauffeur to pick her up. Instead, she walked leisurely under the trees that let through beautiful streams of sunlight. Looking at this familiar scene, Shen Hanxing’s eyes were clear. It was as if she could see through time and space into her past life.

In her past life, she also walked down a similar green belt during her infrequent down time. The Lu residence suffocated her, but the air outside filled her with a sense of freedom, also a little nostalgia. That was the reason she always parked her car outside the community, like the community that belonged to the rich was too much for her that she had to walk a lot to reach it. Mrs. Lu had once mocked her for being used to poverty and thought that she was trying to save gas money. Only Shen Hanxing knew that she was only indulging in her me time, when she could catch her breath away from the hustle and bustle of her life.

On hindsight, she realized that she had been too hard on herself in her past life, putting herself through the wringer like that. Even if Su Ling hadn’t pushed her down the stairs, she would burn out and break one day, perhaps to the point of ending her own life. But now when she walked this green path, her life was free from her previous fate, and she was walking towards a brighter future.

“Miss Shen, your dress is really pretty.. What brand is it?”
