No. Lian Zixins voice immediately rose, tinged with a hint of panic. However, upon noticing the peculiar look Lian Mengzhu shot her way, she swiftly controlled her emotions, wearing a masked smile on her face. Sis, whats on your mind? Lets not talk about anything else. The age gap between me and Miss Ye is so significant; how could there be any connection!

Lian Mengzhus gaze remained fixed on Lian Zixin, allowing her to detect something awry. She squinted suspiciously and asked, Zixin, your behavior today is truly peculiar. It seems your emotions have been off since you laid eyes on that bracelet. Whats going on?

She knew her sister, enabling her to sense that Zixins actions today were exceptionally strange. There must be a secret she wasnt privy to.

Im perfectly fine, Lian Zixin promptly denied, her tone a.s.sertive. Sister, dont overthink it. And if there were truly something wrong, how could I not tell you?

Lian Mengzhu furrowed her brow, not entirely convinced by Lian Zixins words. Yet, she could discern that Zixin had no intention of revealing the truth. Continuing the conversation would likely prove futile.

Alright, if you dont want to talk about it, I wont press you. Lian Mengzhu sighed. But, if theres something, remember to tell me. Im your sister, and regardless of what happens, Ill protect you.

Upon hearing Lian Mengzhus words, a glint of emotion flashed in Lian Zixins eyes. She gazed at Lian Mengzhu and suddenly asked, Sis, if in the future, you discover Ive done something wrong, would you forgive me?

What are you talking about! Lian Mengzhu gently patted Lian Zixins hand, smiling. From childhood to now, Ive never held any of the absurd things youve done against you. Youre my only sister. Even if you genuinely make a mistake, do you think l t d sever ties with you?

Despite Lian Mengzhus rea.s.suring words, Lian Zixin showed no sign of relief. She unexpectedly grasped Lian Mengzhus hand, her tone unintentionally tense. Sis, what if the mistake I make harms you? Would you still forgive

Zixin, whats going on with you? Lian Mengzhu looked at her tightly held wrist, expressing confusion. Youre acting so strangely today. What did you do? Tell me, and Ill listen.

Its nothing. Lian Zixin released her grip, forcing a smile. I just feel like sometimes I act without considering the consequences. I might inadvertently do something that hurts you. Im afraid youll be angry with me for that.

Zixin, youre overthinking it. Lian Mengzhu smiled and shook her head. As you said, its unintentional. I might get upset, but I wont hold it against you forever. After all, were sisters!

Instead of easing, Lian Zixins mood grew heavier after hearing Lian Mengzhus words.

Sis, Im a bit tired. I want to rest for a while, Lian Zixin said. Probably because I didnt sleep well last night, I feel quite dazed now.

Then rest up! Lian Mengzhu responded with concern. After you wake up, Ill have someone bring you some supplements. Your body is quite weak, and you need proper nourishment.

Once outside the room, Lian Mengzhus doubts persisted, if not intensified. The recent conversation confirmed that Zixin harbored a secret, likely connected to her. However, Zixins reluctance to share was evident. Even as her sister, Lian Mengzhu couldnt force her to reveal it.

Outside the door, Lian Mengzhu was filled with uncertainty, while inside the room, Lian Zixins mood remained far from settled.

She lay silently on the bed, unable to find sleep. Claiming to want to rest earlier was merely an excuse. She didnt want Lian Mengzhu to keep probing, fearing she might inadvertently spill the beans..
