Yue Qingqing glanced at Xiaohu’s aura while speaking.
Not detecting anything unusual, she didn’t take it to heart.
After being lectured by his family in a few sentences, Yue Xiaohu also began to reflect.
Could it be that the other party really wanted to start a relationship with him?
No, that wouldn’t do.
All that romance and love stuff would seriously hinder his future adventures in the jianghu.
The next day, after school, Li Ruyun excitedly went to find Yue Xiaohu, but before she could even steady herself, she was hit by a three-combo hairpin attack.
"You’re a good person."
"But we’re not suitable for each other."
"I need to practice martial arts diligently, so when I grow up, I can wander the world and uphold justice."
Li Ruyun: "..." What the hell.
Unfortunately, their conversation was overheard by someone.
Suddenly, passing students looked at Li Ruyun with sympathetic eyes.
Was this a public confession that got rejected?
Even someone as shrewd as Li Ruyun couldn’t help but emit a soulful scream.
"Are you sick or something!"
Thinking of his sister’s advice, Yue Xiaohu thought Li Ruyun was upset about losing face, so he immediately softened his tone.
"I know you might not be able to accept it for the moment, but we can still be friends in the future."
Li Ruyun snorted coldly, chuckling sarcastically, be friends with you, my ass.
She had thought that since the Yue family had both a son and a daughter, there must be some conflicts in daily life.
Seeing that Yue Xiaohu was a simpleton, she intended to take the inside track and stir up trouble between them.
Who would’ve thought she’d be mistaken for his admirer.
This made Li Ruyun feel like she had a fly in her mouth.
Yue Xiaohu said amiably, "It’s okay, curse me if you want. Sister Xingxing always says that the deeper the love, the harsher the criticism; that’s why she often scolds me. I can understand if you scold me now."
Li Ruyun forcefully swallowed back the words about to slip out that would curse his parents.
According to his logic, cursing him would be taken as proof of her affection?
She couldn’t stand to waste time arguing with such an Iron Simpleton any longer.
But she didn’t want to give up either.
Over this period, she didn’t know how many snacks, pastries, and sodas had gone into Yue Xiaohu’s stomach.
Li Fuhong often harped about the term ’return on investment’, and Li Ruyun had been influenced by this as well.
She didn’t want this deal to be a complete loss.
She went straight to the point, "Is Yue Qingqing your biological sister?"
Yue Xiaohu, not understanding at first, immediately answered decisively, "No!"
Li Ruyun’s pupils shrank, not expecting to get the answer so easily.
So that Yue Qingqing...
"Qingqing is my uncle’s child, so strictly speaking, she’s my cousin."
Li Ruyun felt a sudden drop in her heart, finding Yue Xiaohu quite exasperating.
Yue Xiaohu looked at her strangely, "Of course not. Qingqing and I grew up together since we were kids. Aren’t you just too heartbroken and talking nonsense?"
The Yue family kept a tight lid on Yue Qingqing’s origin, and no one in the family ever spoke of it.
Even Yue Xingxing and Yue Xiaohu didn’t know about it.
Li Ruyun watched Yue Xiaohu’s expression and confirmed he wasn’t lying.
Could it be that the resemblance between them was just a coincidence?
Indeed, her mother would know where she had sent her own child.
If Yue Qingqing really were her biological sister, she wouldn’t be treating her this way.
With this thought, Li Ruyun’s mind settled a bit.
She would rather that sister had died out there long ago rather than suddenly have someone else competing with her for the family inheritance and affection.
Seeing her in a daze, Yue Xiaohu awkwardly returned to the main topic.
"Right, Sister Qingqing asked me to invite you to dinner, to thank you for these past few days..."
Already feeling guilty, Li Ruyun immediately declined upon hearing this.
With that, she turned and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer, afraid Yue Xiaohu would drive her mad.
She was also worried that Yue Qingqing, knowing of her seeking out Yue Xiaohu, might suspect something...
