Qiu ihui was supposed to et Liu Nuan at a cafe and when she arrived there, her hands clenched at the sight of the person sitting with Liu Nuan.
"Huihui! Here!" Liu Nuan called out to Qiu ihui who walked over with a not so pleased look on her face.
"Is she leaving or should I leave?" were Qiu ihui's first words to Liu Nuan as she pointed at the other person.
Liu Nuan's expressions turned awkward when she glanced at her best friend, Qiu ihui, and her sister-in-law, Zhou Liqiu. "Huihui, can she stay?"
"Then I should leave," said Liu Nuan as she turned to leave.
"Sister ihui," Zhou Liqiu stood up and called out to Qiu ihui. "You don't have to ruin your plans just because of . I'll leave, you stay."
"Then please," Qiu ihui indicated clearly for her to get away from her sight.
"I'll see you later, Sister Nuan," said Zhou Liqiu and Liu Nuan nodded her head.
When she left the cafe, Liu Nuan turned to Qiu ihui, "Did you have to do that? Whatever happened back then was between Dylan and her. Why are you reacting so harshly with her?"
"I don't care about what happened. But I do care about the fact that my brother cried for the first ti on the day they broke up."
Liu Nuan's brows quirked up in shock, "Are you serious? Dylan can also cry?"
"Shocking, right?" began Qiu ihui as she took a seat beside her and went on, "I think you are more than aware of how my brother is. Hedi was called the lucky boy, the mont he was born. He had always been carefree and happy because everyone pampered him like a kid. And they still do even though he is so old now. The boy who never cried was actually broken by her. How am I supposed to forgive her that easily?"
Liu Nuan shook her head as she called for the waiter and said, "You are still very protective of your brother."
"I might be the worst sister but I still love him very much," replied Qiu ihui sincerely. Indeed, Dylan was just as dear to her as he was to everyone around him. She just never let him see that. She ordered a Latte for herself and looked around aimlessly.
"By the way, I was really surprised and happy to hear that you are finally listening to your heart and marrying Brother Xiaoli." Qiu ihui could literally see Liu Nuan's excitent on her face. But seeing how Qiu ihui was silent, she frowned, "Please tell that you're marrying him because of your love for him and not for another reason!"
"What if I have another reason?" retorted Qiu ihui making Liu Nuan's eyes widen.
"You have got to be kidding with !" Liu Nuan was frustrated now. "I'm warning you! If you hurt him this ti, I'm not letting you go that easily even if you're my best friend. I will take a stand for my cousin brother this ti around."
Qiu ihui took her latte from the waiter and said in amusent, "Your cousin brother? Just how many tis have you got the chance to even et that cousin brother of yours?"
"Hey, just because Uncle Zin hates my mother doesn't an we are not blood-related. Even if Uncle Zin denies the relationship, how can he deny the blood we share? At the end of the day, mom is still his sister. Real sister!"
Qiu ihui shook her head at Liu Nuan's explanation. She really didn't know why Liu Nuan cared so much about her Uncle Zin's family even though their families have bad blood for decades. Even more amusing was seeing how Liu Nuan would always speak in favor of Xin Xiaoli no matter what occasion it was.
"But on a serious note, can you please stop this? Don't be stubborn again. You have already suffered enough because of your stubbornness. If you had chosen to follow your heart back then, Brother Xiaoli and you'd have had a very happy married life right now," said Liu Nuan as she looked at Qiu ihui worriedly. "I don't want you to hurt yourself again."
"Just like you have a happy married life?" questioned Qiu ihui as she stared right into her eyes.
Liu Nuan avoided her eyes as she replied with a fake smile, "Even though my married life is very happy, I believe yours would have been even better."
Qiu ihui squinted her eyes at her, "Can you stop lying to ? I'm not that dumb to not realize that you're not happy." Liu Nuan bit her lip while Qiu ihui went on, "Back then, I also warned you. Don't insist on marrying Jinhai, he doesn't love you. But you said, your love would be enough for the both of you. And you'll make him fall for you."
Liu Nuan's shoulders slumped down as her smile vanished, "I was at the delusional stage of love. I thought my love could conquer anything. Do you know his ex-girlfriend said to at my wedding, 'Your tricks can catch him in this cage you called marriage but love is transparent? Tricks can get you a person, not his heart.'" She laughed in irony. "I so hated her back then and knowing that she never hated , makes even madder. I took everything she had and yet she said to my face, that she doesn't hate ."
Qiu ihui's expressions changed as she was reminded of Ying. She also said she doesn't hate her. She never did. How? Why? After everything she did to her, just how could she not hate her? Was that really just a pretense as she always thought or was that the real Yan Ying as everyone claid?
Just what was this mystery nad Yan Ying that made her feel insecure for life. She always felt threatened by her presence. Whether it was with her family or love, the threat nad Yan Ying was present everywhere. But now if she thinks about it, in fact, Yan Ying was never between her and her relations. It was her own insecurities that she blad on Yan Ying and made her suffer in every way possible.
