Stepdaughter?
Xia Yehua seed to have noticed the confused look on Qiao Lian’s face and explained, “Yuanxi was brought here by Shen Liangchuan eight years ago. You might not know this, but he told then that he had fallen in love, and not long after he brought back this petite little girl. Yuanxi was only fourteen at that point in ti and I originally thought that she was his girlfriend. I was so furious, until I finally learned the truth later-”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Shen Liangchuan, who said, “Mom, have the both of you eaten breakfast yet?”
Xia Yehua answered, “We’ve eaten.” Turning her head back, she froze and said, “Where was I?”
Shen Liangchuan pointed at the sofa and said, “Sit down before you continue talking.”
The three of them sat down. Qiao Lian couldn’t help but look at Song Yuanxi.
Xia Yehua’s intent behind what she had said earlier was clear—Yuanxi was not Shen Liangchuan’s first love and... Shen Liangchuan had never looked at Song Yuanxi in that way. They had known each other for eight years. If he were in love with Song Yuanxi, they would have been together by now.
However... Qiao Lian glanced at Shen Liangchuan. Why did she feel like Xia Yehua was about to reveal so important news before she had been interrupted by Shen Liangchuan?
She looked at Song Yuanxi again. What kind of feelings did she harbor for Shen Liangchuan?
Even if she hadn’t understood love when she was young, now that she had grown up, it would be difficult for her to not be smitten with Shen Liangchuan, right?
Song Yuanxi obediently sat at Xia Yehua’s side and kept her head down. She was rubbing Xia Yehua’s shoulders with a soft and gentle voice. She seed quite shy.
Perhaps she had felt Qiao Lian looking at her, because she raised her head and glanced at Qiao Lian. When their eyes t, Yuanxi’s face imdiately beca bright red.
She shyly smiled and lowered her head again, as though she did not dare to look at her.
She was as timid as a rabbit.
As Qiao Lian thought of this, Shen Liangchuan said, “Now that you’ve graduated, what are you going to do next? Embark on further studies or start working?”
A doe-eyed Song Yuanxi t Shen Liangchuan’s gaze and imdiately retreated in fear. Her mouth was agape and she looked as though she wanted to say sothing. However, what she actually said was, “Brother, I’ll listen to you.”
Shen Liangchuan imperceptibly frowned as he noticed Song Yuanxi’s scared expression. He said in a low and gentle voice, “Yuanxi.”
When he said her na, it sounded extraordinarily pleasing.
Grievance flashed across Qiao Lian’s heart.
Then, Qiao Lian heard his advice for Yuanxi. He said, “Yuanxi, this is your life after all. I can’t make every decision for you. Can’t you tell what you wish to do?”
Song Yuanxi looked at Xia Yehua. Xia Yehua smiled and said, “Child, how many tis have I told you that you shouldn’t treat yourself as an outsider? You’re my stepdaughter, so do what you want! You can say anything.”
Song Yuanxi bit her lower lip and only answered timidly after a few minutes. “I- I wish to pursue acting.”
“No”, Shen Liangchuan rejected her suggestion without hesitation. Song Yuanxi beca so fearful that her entire body shrank and she imdiately lowered her head.
Shen Liangchuan’s anger was about to explode out of him, but it got suddenly stuck in his chest, unable to be released.
At this mont, his cell phone rang. He glanced at Song Yuanxi before walking to the balcony to take the call.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly lightened up.
Xia Yehua sighed and said, “Yuanxi, I’ve always thought that you were a timid child, but you...”
She turned and looked at Qiao Lian saying, “Xiao Qiao, help persuade her please. She’s addicted to the Internet! Most of the things that you find on the Internet are fake, so can they really be reliable?”
