Shangguan Yiting felt a sharp pain, unexpectedly struck at her sore spot by Shangguan Shaoyi. She could not maintain her pride, and unwilling tears slowly fell, her throat struggling to produce a sound, as if mixed with blood, "Fine, you are ruthless. Our Shangguan Family members are truly one more ruthless than the other!"
Shangguan Shaoyi softened his tone, his eyes as dark as ink and unfathomable. He supported Shangguan Yiting, "Although today's words were intense, there is something I really want you to consider."
Shangguan Yiting snorted coldly and asked, "What is it?"
He gently patted her shoulder, "It's been so long since this happened; it's time to let go."
The courtyard was tranquil, with the sweet fragrance of fruits and a beautiful woman by his side, making for a pleasant mood.
"Have you finished talking with Miss Shangguan?" Cheng Mo Su saw Shangguan Shaoyi coming over and hurriedly poured him a cup of tea. Unlike Shangguan Shaoyi's deep cunning, she could not see through the outcome and quietly waited for him to tell her. However, Shangguan Shaoyi took his time, slowly sipping his tea, glancing around at the scenery before turning his gaze back to her without intending to speak.
Even someone as composed as Cheng Mo Su felt a bit anxious. With delicate hands half-pushing and half-pulling, she urged, "Hurry up and say it! You know I'm anxious; why are you teasing me like this? It's really boring."
"I find it very interesting," he said while ruffling Cheng Mo Su's soft hair, unable to hide his smile. "Don't worry; she won't make things difficult for you anymore."
"Really?" Cheng Mo Su couldn't help but feel surprised. "Miss Shangguan is exceptionally strong-willed; how could she change her attitude? What did you say to her?"
"Some... things that shouldn't be said." His gaze darkened, and his voice became heavier.
"What kind of things? Please don't let it hurt your sibling bond because of me." Cheng Mo Su's small face turned red with anxiety, tears welling in her eyes. "I really... caused trouble between you and Miss Shangguan..."
"Don't say that." Shangguan Shaoyi's expression turned serious. "She and I are bound by blood; our bond won't be damaged by past events. I just wanted her to understand what heartache feels like so that she can empathize and stop bullying you."
"She didn't bully me." But as soon as she said that, she recalled how distant Shangguan Yiting had been lately, causing her eyes to redden slightly.
Shangguan Shaoyi quickly held her hand and said, "I apologize on her behalf. Don't worry; it won't happen again."
His expression was extremely serious as he raised his hand to help her tidy up the loose strands of hair. She looked up at him, her face flushed, and the corners of her lips finally revealed a faint smile, pure and elegant. She nodded and replied softly, slowly getting up. Shangguan Shaoyi asked, "Are you going back to your room to rest?"
"No," she gently shook her head and smiled lightly. "I want to check on my sister; I always feel guilty." Seeing that Shangguan Shaoyi was about to follow her, she quickly added, "You mustn't come with me; this is the hardest time for my sister. I need to talk to her privately."
He looked at her with indulgence and said, "I understand what you mean. This is her most vulnerable moment; you should go and win her over now."
Cheng Mo Su paused for a moment and said with a hint of annoyance, "You really twist everything into something else. Although I don't know what you said to her, it certainly wasn't anything good because of me. I feel guilty in my heart, and besides, we are about to become one family soon; I should care about this."
"Mo Su..."
"Shaoyi, I may not be able to help with the big matters, but let me help share these things that are within my ability."
A faint knocking sound came from outside the door, soft and weak; if one didn't listen closely, they wouldn't hear it clearly. Shangguan Yiting was momentarily stunned but naturally knew who was knocking. She responded, "Please come in."
Cheng Mo Su pushed the door open and entered. The room, not particularly warm, inexplicably carried a sense of stuffiness. Shangguan Yiting sat quietly on one side, a purple round fan waving in the air. She glanced at Cheng Mo Su and exhaled softly like orchids, "Please sit down. Did you come at this time to see how disheveled I look?"
Cheng Mo Su smiled lightly; the soft yellow light fell on her bright eyes, making her seem almost transparent. She sat gracefully and smiled slightly, "Don't treat everyone like yourself."
Shangguan Yiting was first taken aback and then smiled, "When did you learn to insult others?"
"Being with you for so long naturally teaches me," she replied with a light smile that carried a subtle fragrance.
Shangguan Yiting lowered her eyes, memories of her previous interactions with Cheng Mo Su flashing through her mind repeatedly. She couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it; he has threatened me like this; what else can I do?"
"Sister, I don't know what happened between you two, but Shaoyi has never forgotten the bond between you as siblings."
"You can rest assured, I know all of this." Shangguan Yiting raised her eyes to look at Cheng Mo Su. Cheng Mo Su's smile was as beautiful as if she were living in a world apart, seemingly not belonging to the same realm as them. She suddenly realized and laughed, "Mo Su, you usually don’t fight or compete, yet somehow you’ve taken all the benefits."
Cheng Mo Su felt a bit confused and looked at her with doubt. She set aside the round fan, reached out to straighten the standing collar of her light pink Qipao, and smiled, "Yu Qiao competed with you and ended up losing her life. I competed with you and almost hurt our relationship. You did nothing, appearing completely detached, yet you gained everything you wanted."
She forced a smile; everyone had their struggles behind them. If Shangguan Yiting understood it this way, then let her understand it that way.
"I've realized that women shouldn't be too strong-willed. Like you, isn't it good? Naturally, there will be people who love you to protect you, whether it's my brother or that Mr. Xiao, they both prioritize you."
Cheng Mo Su quietly looked at her, warmth flowing in her gaze. After she finished speaking, she finally spoke up, "Sister, have you thought about what you really want?"
"I..." Shangguan Yiting was taken aback for a moment and pondered for a while. "I want the Shangguan Family to conquer the world."
"No, what I’m asking is about you personally, not your Shangguan Family. Please separate yourself from the Shangguan Family; as an independent individual, what do you want?" She asked quietly, her voice gentle but leaving Shangguan Yiting stumped. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't come up with an answer.
After a long silence, Shangguan Yiting countered, "What about you?"
Cheng Mo Su smiled lightly, appearing relaxed. "It's simple; as you can see, I just want to be with Shaoyi."
"So that's why you can disregard the consequences and so resolutely leave your home," Shangguan Yiting said thoughtfully. Her gaze met Cheng Mo Su's bright eyes, and she smiled slightly. "He really didn't misjudge."
