son, don't mess around

How to make kites and willows live in harmony is a century-old problem!
Although they are half-sisters, they are not familiar with each other, have never lived together, and have no emotional foundation.

In fact, the biggest connection between the two stems from Lin Jiangnian himself. And the conflict also originates from Lin Jiangnian.

This makes things complicated and contradictory.

On one hand, the two share an inextricable blood relationship. On the other hand, they are each other's only family in this world.

Therefore, both Zhiyuan and Liusu deliberately maintained a tacit understanding, preserving a blood relationship that neither of them wanted to mention.

On the other hand, both women have extremely close relationships with Lin Jiangnian... and this naturally becomes the biggest conflict between the two women.

Half-sisters, sharing the same father but different mothers, both fall in love with the same man!
As expected, it's a melodramatic plot.

However, both Zhiyuan and Liusu are extremely proud and opinionated women, especially Liusu, who naturally cannot accept this.

So she kept running away.

From Linjiang City to Chujiang City, and now to the capital, she has been deliberately avoiding it. Her last departure was probably also due to her desire not to get involved in the complicated relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan.

These factors have led to their current awkward situation and relationship.

Although, through subtle influence, the two have gradually begun to accept each other's identities.

Especially Zhiyuan, who had specifically mentioned to Lin Jiangnian that she was concerned about Liu Su's safety. She even suggested that Lin Jiangnian bring Liu Su back to the Prince Lin's residence.

Clearly, she had accepted Liu Su as her sister.

However, Lin Jiangnian's presence made it impossible for the relationship between the two sisters to be eased.

Just like tonight, the two of them were extremely conflicted.

They should be inseparable sisters, but when they meet, they always seem to be competing with each other, both openly and subtly. Yet, in private, they actually care for each other.

Previously, when Liu Su wanted to take Lin Jiangnian away, Zhiyuan unusually spoke up to stop her, and even showed a very rare strong attitude.

She seemed determined to go up against Liu Su, as if she would attack if she dared to take her man away.

But after Liu Su left, she suddenly asked Lin Jiangnian to go find Liu Su...

This is so contradictory!

What kind of nonsense is this?

Lin Jiangnian could vaguely guess what Zhiyuan was thinking and knew what was troubling her. But when he tentatively suggested the idea of ​​'sisterly affection,' Zhiyuan rejected it without hesitation.

I don't think about it!

dream!

……

In the dead of night, Lin Jiangnian stood outside the door, looking at the tightly closed door and the howling cold wind outside the courtyard, and sighed repeatedly.

As expected, I was kicked out.

Clearly, his suggestion had crossed Zhiyuan's line. In fact, Lin Jiangnian had only tentatively brought it up, and before it even had a chance to develop, Zhiyuan had ruthlessly nipped it in the bud.

They were instantly killed the moment they showed their faces!
The kite resisted more than expected.

Upon further reflection, Lin Jiangnian understood.

Zhiyuan was no ordinary woman; she had her own pride and her own bottom line. Although her bottom line kept decreasing with Lin Jiangnian's excessive demands.

But given her personality, it might not be so easy for her to accept her half-sisters in the short term.

And so, Lin Jiangnian was kicked out by Zhiyuan, who was angry and had a stern face, to stand out in the cold wind.

It has to be said that it would be a disgrace for the Crown Prince of Lin to be kicked out of the house by his own personal maid and exposed to the cold wind.

However, Lin Jiangnian wasn't angry.

The reason Zhiyuan so forcefully kicked him out was because his suggestion had angered her, and she didn't want to talk to him anymore. But besides that, she probably also didn't want to put Lin Jiangnian in a difficult position.

That silly girl appears aloof and usually doesn't say anything, but she is actually very perceptive.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply.

Silly girl!

……

The side courtyard of the Jiang residence, separated by only one wall.

Liu Su, dressed in a long red dress, pushed open the door and entered the room, a biting wind rushing in. She lit a candle on the table, its dim light illuminating the surroundings.

As the cold wind swept in, the lights flickered, and in the stillness of the night, a sense of loneliness and desolation spread.

Liu Su looked quietly at the familiar furnishings around her, feeling somewhat dazed.

She was familiar with this place; she had stayed at the Jiang residence for a period of time a year ago when she was injured, and she had stayed in this very room at that time.

The room was very clean, and it was clear that the maids in the manor had been keeping it spotless for the past year. All the furnishings were neat and tidy, and the room looked brand new. You could move in immediately with just your bags.

However, for some reason, she always felt that the room was a bit cold, colder than a year ago.

At the same time, there was an indescribable discomfort.

Even though she closed the door to block out the cold wind, she still felt empty all around.

It's cold in a way I can't quite describe!

It's strange. Given her level of internal energy, ordinary cold winds should have little effect on her. Yet, for some reason, the chill is particularly intense tonight.

Liu Su lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then smiled wryly.

When did she become so pretentious?
She turned and sat down at the table, rubbing her temples. A hint of weariness appeared on her usually aloof face.

That once stunning red dress now appeared even more lonely and desolate against the backdrop of the silent atmosphere.

She glanced out the window; the shadows of the trees swayed. She gave a self-deprecating laugh and sighed softly.

It's late at night, time to rest.

She murmured to herself, but for some reason, she wasn't very sleepy tonight.

Logically, she should be exhausted from months of traveling. But for some reason, she just can't sleep tonight.

When I close my eyes, the image that comes to mind is the noise I heard outside the room door not long ago.

Did I really ruin his plans?
Thinking of this, a playful glint appeared in Liu Su's eyes. But quickly, that playful smile vanished.

Instead, a feeling of irritability welled up from within.

Can't tell.

It made it hard for her to calm down; it was as if some emotion was being suppressed in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She couldn't help but glance down at her chest; being too big was definitely not a good thing.

It was too heavy and became a burden.

After sitting there in a daze for a while, Liu Su finally came back to her senses. She took one last look out the window, listening to the sounds outside through the paper window, and the look of loneliness in her eyes became even more obvious.

Then, she gave another self-deprecating bitter smile.

She then got up, went behind the screen, took out clean bedding from the wardrobe next to her, and made the bed.

The room was spotless, tidied by the maid, and fully equipped with all necessary items. Liu Su's movements were swift and efficient; once everything was finished, she was ready to turn off the lights and go to bed.

An untimely knock sounded at the door.

"Su'er!"

Inside the room, Liu Su suddenly stopped what she was doing. She looked up at the door, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But the next second, as if realizing something, she vanished quickly. Her expression returned to normal, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes, as if the emotions from just moments before had completely disappeared.

That cool and elegant face regained its coolness, and her tone became indifferent and cold.

"Is something wrong?"

Outside the door, Lin Jiangnian heard a cold tone coming from inside the room. So, she's angry?
"Have."

"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." Liu Su's tone in the room was devoid of any emotion, extremely cold.

Good grief, did they just repeat what Paper Kite said to him verbatim?

"I have something very important to tell you tonight."

Lin Jiangnian naturally couldn't leave, so he immediately spoke up, then quickly added, "I'm coming in, aren't I?"

Before Liu Su could refuse, Lin Jiangnian pushed open the door and entered.

As expected, the door was not locked from the inside.

Lin Jiang, young and easy, pushed open the door and entered the room, then closed it.

The room was neat yet empty, and a chill seemed to hang in the air. In the dim light, Lin Jiangnian saw a figure in blood-red robes behind the screen.

She stepped out from behind the screen, staring at him expressionlessly.

Liu Su, whom I was looking at, was cold, exuding an aloof and unapproachable elegance. Her delicate and refined face had lively features and a touch of bewitching charm.

As a holy maiden of the Heavenly God Sect, Liu Su had picked up many of the sect's habits. This made Lin Jiangnian always feel that she possessed a certain mystique whenever he saw her.

Her long red dress only amplifies this sense of mystery.

Every time Lin Jiangnian saw her, he couldn't help but want to get closer to her, to peel back her clothes... to see what secrets were inside.

This aloof and elegant aura often makes him unable to resist, generating extremely strong impulses and thoughts.

At this moment, this thought grew stronger.

Liu Su stood quietly by the screen, arms crossed, watching Lin Jiangnian. Her long red dress accentuated her slender and graceful figure, making her appear extremely tall. Her beautiful legs, hidden beneath the hem of the red dress, were faintly visible, as were her alluring and slender waist and the curves of her breasts formed by her hands pressing together, all of which perfectly showcased her bewitching charm.

Her extremely cold yet imposing aura further elevated her charisma to its peak.

At this moment, in the stillness of the night, Lin Jiangnian quietly admired the graceful figure before him, his heart filled with countless emotions.

As the first woman in his life, Liu Su held an extremely important place in his heart.

It was her plan that forced Lin Jiangnian to return to the Prince Lin's residence by mistake. And during those early days at the Prince Lin's residence, when he was walking on thin ice, it was this Saintess Liu who stayed by his side day and night.

In a sense, the two had established a very deep bond long ago.

Therefore, even though the woman had a cold and aloof demeanor, it did not deter Lin Jiangnian. He walked into the room on his own, looked around, and chuckled to himself, "The maids in the manor haven't been lazy; they've kept it quite clean."

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian walked closer to the screen until he stopped in front of Liu Su. Looking at the face so close to him, so cold and beautiful that one wanted to kiss it, Lin Jiangnian couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Upon noticing this, a hint of annoyance flashed in Liu Su's eyes.

How dare he laugh?
"What are you here for?"

Liu Su remained expressionless.

"I was worried you wouldn't sleep well at night, so I came to check on you."

"Ah!"

Liu Su responded with a cold laugh, her gaze falling on the room behind him, then lingering on him, her expression suggestive: "What? She'd be willing to let you come to find me?"

"You're making it sound like Paper Kite is some kind of stingy person."

"If she isn't, then am I?"

"Of course you aren't either."

"No, I am."

Liu Su said expressionlessly, "I've always been a very stingy person."

"You've known me for a while now!"

“In my eyes, you are definitely not the kind of petty woman,” Lin Jiangnian immediately said.

But Liu Su merely glanced at him and said indifferently, "So in your eyes, I'm the kind of magnanimous woman who can accept you flirting with other women and even sleeping together in bed with them without any problem?"

Can't we just have a pleasant chat anymore?
Lin Jiangnian sighed; this woman was clearly looking for trouble.

"Absolutely not."

Lin Jiangnian vehemently denied it.

"What were you doing with Paper Kite in the room earlier?"

Liu Su posed a pointed question, then sneered, "Don't tell me you two took off your clothes in the room and didn't do anything?"

This question left Lin Jiangnian at a loss for words.

He sighed, "You might not believe it, but I really haven't had a chance to do it yet..."

"Heh, so it really was me who ruined your plans?"

Liu Su's face was full of cold smiles.

Seeing her rather 'harsh' expression, Lin Jiangnian sighed, stepped forward, took her hand, and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"No."

Liu Su forcefully shook off his hand.

Lin Jiangnian reached out again, but Liu Su simply hid her hand behind her back, took a step back, and glared at him: "What are you doing?!"

"Come and admit your mistake."

Liu Su scrutinized him, then sneered, "What mistake are you admitting?"

"do not know."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her with deep eyes and gentle eyes: "However, if you are unhappy, then it must be my problem."

"Of course I should admit my mistake."

These words gave Liu Su goosebumps all over.
"Shut up!"

This guy's sudden gentle expression caught Liu Su off guard.

Feeling both ashamed and angry, she couldn't bear to listen to such 'disgusting' sweet talk.

However, Lin Jiangnian's sudden apology somewhat eased the anger that had just been stirred up in her heart.

“It is unacceptable for a mere woman to accept an apology from His Highness the Crown Prince of Lin.”

The Holy Maiden Liu continued to speak in a sarcastic tone.

Lin Jiangnian ignored the woman's nonsense. Even after so long, she was still as stubborn as ever.

But it's just a facade.

As for whether it's really hard or not, Lin Jiangnian has tasted it and found that it's not hard at all inside; on the contrary, it's very tender and soft.

Lin Jiangnian pulled her along again, comforting her as they sat down at the table next to the screen.

Looking at the familiar and beautiful face before him, Lin Jiangnian was filled with emotion and felt a pang of heartache: "You've lost weight."

After not seeing her for several months, Liu Su looked noticeably haggard and no longer had her former charm. It was clear that she had been very tired lately.

Upon hearing this, Liu Su, unusually, did not refute it. She turned her head slightly and ignored what the guy said.

A strange emotion welled up inside me.

Surprisingly, they didn't say a word.

Where have you been these past few months?

Lin Jiangnian asked in a soft voice about her whereabouts over the past few months: "I heard that you returned to the headquarters of the Heavenly God Sect?"

"You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"
