However, in his place was now a very fiery man. He did not seem like someone from the same world he had been from in the past. He was high and mighty, as though he could take nothing to heart.
She had once wondered if there would come a day when he, whose expression did not change even when a mountain collapsed in front of him, would experience the taste of the mortal world. Would he be trapped by love and sink into it?
If this woman had been someone else, she would have given them her blessing immediately. What complicated things was that it was not someone else but her own niece!
She gave them a complicated look and let out a low cough. There were still real people watching. Can’t the two of you keep a low profile while showing off your affection?
Ling Sheng only had a one-hour break.
After dinner, they parted ways at the door. Ling Sheng had enjoyed a good meal and she now liked the pretty sister even more. “Bye, Ms. Su.”
Su Yan looked at her and said, “We’ll meet again soon.”
Ling Sheng touched her nose in confusion, thinking of the beautiful sister’s meaningful smile. What did she mean? Why would they meet soon?
When she got in the car, Ling Sheng realized that Su Yan’s surname was Su. Since she could talk to the Third Master, she was definitely not a nobody. Could she be… part of her grandma’s family?
When she reached the classroom, everyone was waiting for her.
Ling Sheng opened the book, her mind still on other matters.
When she went upstairs, she called her grandma and realized that Su Yan was her grandma’s niece and her father’s cousin. She had to call her Aunt.
Besides, she was very sure that her aunt had recognized her when she had removed her mask. What kind of fate was this? Not only had she seen her with the Third Master, but she had also seen…
If she had known earlier, she would have been well-behaved. She would not have been led by the nose by the Third Master and publicly flaunted their affection!
To think she’d wanted to establish her dominance… Now, things had backfired!
Would Aunt tell the Su Family that she was in a relationship with the Third Master? Would everyone in the Su Family know?
Oh my!
How embarrassing!
She might as well die.
“Sister Sheng Sheng, what’s wrong?” When she saw her absent-minded look, Huang Chang’s face reddened. Was she having a fever?
Ling Sheng came back to her senses and patted her burning cheeks before shaking her head hurriedly. “Nothing, it’s alright. Where were we? Let’s continue.”
–
The days flew by, and Saturday arrived soon.
As time passed, Ling Sheng started to feel nervous for no reason. She felt guilty and timid. She could not tell her grandma that she had flaunted her love for the Third Master before her Aunt. Her relationship had been discovered.
Xiaoqi, who knew that he was going to visit his relatives in the Su Family, got up early in the morning. He changed into the smartest suit and ran to the balcony to bid farewell to everyone on the goldfish planet. Then, he ran to the kitchen on his short legs. “Great-grandmother, let me help you!”
Su Xiyin looked at Xiaoqi, not knowing what he was busy with. His forehead was covered in sweat. Upon seeing the energetic child, she smiled and said, “Go and wake your grandpa up.”
Xiaoqi had been in low spirits in the past week. One of the small goldfish Sheng Sheng had bought had died the next day, and two more had died on the third day. On the fourth day, they had all died.
Xiaoqi was heartbroken. As he cried, he buried them on the goldfish planet. Every day, he would run to the balcony to talk to the little goldfish.
“Okay. Mommy’s here too, right?” Xiaoqi ran over to call for help. He woke Mommy up first and then went to wake up Grandpa.
Ling Sheng looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. What should come would come. How should she face Aunt Su Yan today, though? She was worried sick.
