"Xiaxia, are you okay?"
Ling Yunshu seed startled and quickly reached out, lightly patting Ling Chuxia’s back. Ling Chuxia coughed profusely for a while before catching her breath, shook her head, indicating she was fine.
The worry in Ling Yunshu’s eyes faded, leaving only helplessness, "Look at you, claiming to be mature, yet you can even choke on water!"
Ling Chuxia didn’t know how to explain her choking incident, so she simply lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Ling Yunshu pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the water from Ling Chuxia’s mouth, with gentleness in her movents and care in her gaze.
Her elder sister treated her with the sa gentleness and kindness as she had three years ago.
Yet, upon hearing her elder sister say she was about to divorce Shi Che, a sense of aversion and reluctance flashed through her heart, even subconsciously trying to escape.
Imdiately, intense guilt and self-bla spread quickly within her. How could she feel this way about her elder sister?
Originally, she held this place for her elder sister; now that her elder sister was back, shouldn’t she rightfully divorce Shi Che and let her sister and Shi Che be happily reunited?
How could she feel aversion and reluctance?
Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip hard, wanting to answer her elder sister, to say yes, she would soon divorce Shi Che and return her position, but when she opened her mouth, the words stuck in her throat, unable to co out.
Instead, the thoughts that had been disturbing her for the past few days surfaced again in her mind.
"Xiaxia, you have fallen in love with Shi Che!"
"Xiaxia, you can fool others, but can you fool yourself?"
"Xiaxia, people need to learn to be selfish occasionally in life!"
Ling Chuxia’s face turned pale suddenly. In front of her sister, such selfish thoughts erged. She shook her head vigorously, trying to suppress those ideas, but the more she resisted, the more overwhelming they beca, echoing in her ears repeatedly.
Ling Yunshu, while wiping the corner of her lips, saw her complexion pale gradually and her gaze beco distant. Ling Yunshu’s brows furrowed with concern at Ling Chuxia’s discomfort and she asked softly, "Xiaxia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ling Chuxia seed not to hear her words and remained trapped within her own consciousness. Ling Yunshu, seeing the worry erge in Chuxia’s eyes, couldn’t help but push her gently, raising her voice, "Xiaxia, are you okay?"
The sound of Ling Yunshu’s voice seed to break through the fog, pulling Ling Chuxia back to reality. She stared blankly for a mont, her gaze gradually clearing up, and as she looked up, she t Ling Yunshu’s worried eyes. Ling Chuxia’s heart felt like it was seized by a large hand, the discomfort extre.
She was now having a hard ti facing her elder sister. She took a deep breath, restraining the tremor in her voice, and quickly said, "Sister, I just rembered I have sothing to do, I can’t stay with you today. You must be tired from the flight, you should rest. I will co to see you again tomorrow."
Without waiting for Ling Yunshu’s response, she grabbed her bag and quickly left the room.
Ling Yunshu watched Ling Chuxia’s hurried departure, confusion flashed in her eyes at first. Then, as if realizing sothing, her expression deepened, her hands slowly clenched into fists.
She had thought the divorce would go smoothly, but now it seed... things were not as simple as she had imagined.
