Qi Ming’s deep voice was laced with an unmistakable seriousness, causing Qi Miao’s heart to suddenly skip a beat.
"What’s the matter, Second Brother? Just tell ."
Qi Ming stared intently into her eyes and asked,
"Did you really have Ye Ying watch Xia Yumo only because you liked Gu Junhang? Or are you hiding sothing from ?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Miao’s heart sank. She was about to explain hurriedly, but Qi Ming cut her off and said,
"Miaomiao, you must answer truthfully, otherwise, if Big Brother finds out sothing, I really can’t help you."
His serious gaze locked onto Qi Miao’s panicked eyes, and he added, "Do I need to remind you what kind of person our big brother is?"
Thinking of Qi Xiao’s face, Qi Miao’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to tell Qi Ming the truth. Instead, with a look of sadness on her face, she countered,
"Second Brother, now everyone in the family, except for you, doesn’t believe in anymore. Now, even you doubt ?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall freely, and her gaze at Qi Ming carried a hint of accusation.
"Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved following you around, and you know the best. If I had known earlier that Xia Yumo was your real younger sister, would I have kept it a secret?"
Speaking of this, she paused for a mont, shook her head as if she understood sothing, and gave a bitter smile, "Second Brother, do you also think that I can’t let go of my identity as the Qi Family’s Young Miss, and that’s why I want to do sothing to Xia Yumo?"
She raised a hand, roughly wiping her face, looking both grief-stricken and sad, "Growing up together, is that how you see ?"
Qi Ming was struck speechless by her aggressive questioning, not knowing how to refute her. He just kept shaking his head in denial, "No, that’s not what Second Brother ans."
"Then why did you ask this question?"
What Qi Ming feared the most was Qi Miao crying in front of him. After being accused and questioned like this, his mind went blank, and his face flushed, but he remained silent.
A mont later, he finally stamred in a low voice,
"Second Brother was just curious since I’ve never heard you ntion Gu Junhang before. It was just a bit surprising to hear you say that you fell in love with him at first sight."
Qi Ming retracted his original thoughts and explained it this way.
Qi Miao knew that she could only rely on Qi Ming to stand by her side in the Qi family. She couldn’t recklessly squander his goodwill and patience. Seeing that he had backed down, she didn’t dare to continue to pursue the matter. Her eyes just rimd with red again as she said,
"It’s because I knew Gu Junhang had a girlfriend, and even if I liked him so much, I couldn’t be soone’s third wheel. Since I can’t have him, why bring it up and make myself sad?"
As she spoke, she raised a hand to wipe away her tears, her face showing a clear sadness, "But I still harbored a bit of selfishness, thinking that if they had a conflict and broke up, I might still have a chance, so I sent Ye Ying to keep an eye on them."
After finishing, she tugged at Qi Ming’s clothes hem in a wronged and apprehensive manner and whispered,
"Second Brother, believe , if I really wanted the identity of the Young Lady, I would have had Ye Ying take action against Xia Yumo long ago. How could I possibly wait until today?"
Her red eyes and pitiful look had already deceived Qi Ming, who had always stood by her side, and left him completely bewildered.
