Looking at the dizzying highrise which housed the seven-star hotel, Gu Qingxin felt momentarily dizzy. She had switched to her own clothing, sober in color, intensifying the pallor of her face. She squeezed her eyes shut, wishing fervently that Bai Qianqian had been mistaken.
“Qingxin, he’s upstairs. Come with me,” Bai Qianqian approached, taking her hand and leading her into the hotel.
Bai Qianqian had been her best friend since childhood, their relationship closer than actual sisters. Both the Bai and Gu families were among the wealthiest in Ming City and had numerous business dealings, leading to the girls knowing each other since young.
By the time Gu Qingxin snapped out of her state of bewilderment, she found herself standing outside a suite.
Looking at the distraught girl, Bai Qianqian gritted her teeth and pressed the doorbell on her behalf.
About five seconds later, the suite door was opened.
Gu Qingxin had hoped desperately that Qianqian was mistaken, but as she looked up, there stood Tang Rongling right before her eyes. Under his wet, dishevelled hair hid a pair of deep, attractive eyes. Dressed in a white bathrobe, his open collar revealed his sexy, taut chest muscles, and a light fresh fragrance wafted from him after his bath.
“Ah Ling, is room service delivering food?” a sweet feminine voice called out from inside the suite, followed by the appearance of a familiar figure in Gu Qingxin’s line of sight.
“Little Sister.” Gu Yunci gasped in surprise, her beautiful petite face filled with panic, like a frightened young doe, still so endearing.
She too was wearing a white bathrobe, her long curly hair wet and dripping with water. Terror painted her face as she rushed over, guilt and unease written all over her.
“Tang Rongling, how could you do this to Qingxin?”
Tang Rongling was Gu Qingxin’s fiancé, but now he was in a compromising position with her half-sister from the same father but different mother.
“Sister… You have to hear me out… Ah Ling and I…”
Gu Qingxin’s eyes were locked on the man right in front of her, her beautiful lips looking as wilted as a flower. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back from falling.
Tang Rongling, her fiancé since childhood, the man she had loved for more than a decade, suddenly appeared a stranger to her.
“Gu Yunci, shut up! What do you think you are? You’re just the daughter of a servant of the Gu family, yet you made yourself feel like a Missy!” Bai Qianqian could not control her anger, as she pointed her finger at Gu Yunci and scolded without restraint.
“Bai Qianqian, I know you have always looked down on me, but I am still my father’s biological daughter!” Gu Yunci was pale as a sheet, shivering all over.
“Yes indeed, you, being a servant, cunningly crawled into the young master’s bed to spawn a bastard like you!” Bai Qianqian was almost bursting with rage, venting her anger on behalf of Gu Qingxin.
“Enough!” Tang Rongling cut Bai Qianqian off coldly, his eyebrows knitted in a frown, his gaze fixed on the silent girl in front of him.
“Why?” Gu Qingxin didn’t cry nor make a fuss. She didn’t even shed a tear. But none of them saw that she was clenching her fists so tightly that her nails had dug into her skin.
As Tang Rongling watched the girl in front of him, he felt somewhat restless.
“Little Sister, don’t blame Ah Ling, it’s all my fault, I seduced him, I… I just loved him too much… I fell in love with him from the moment I saw him…” Gu Yunci ran forward, her hands gripping Gu Qingxin’s arms, and with a “splashing” sound, she knelt down in front of her.
