Chapter 297 The Jealousy Jar Overturned
Lin Qianqian slowly turned around, her back to Murong Yi. She raised her hand and gently covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Tears welled up uncontrollably, slipping through her fingers and dripping onto the ground, leaving a small, dark stain. She tried her best to suppress her sobs, but the emotions surging in her chest were like a raging tide, impossible to hold back. Finally, a sob escaped her throat.
Hearing the suppressed yet sorrowful sobs, Murong Yi's heart clenched. He immediately stood up, strode to Lin Qianqian's side, gently placed his hands on her shoulders, and leaned down slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and anxiety: "Qianqian, don't cry." His voice softened unconsciously, almost pleading, "From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say, and I'll believe whatever you do!"
Lin Qianqian stiffened and slowly turned her head. Her eyes were red and swollen, tears welling up in them, her gaze filled with both grievance and surprise, as if she couldn't believe what Murong Yi had said.
Their eyes met, and the air around them seemed to stand still. Murong Yi's deep affection and determination were conveyed to Lin Qianqian without reservation, as if she were silently proclaiming her promise.
Suddenly, Lin Qianqian's lips curled up slightly, and she burst out laughing. Her smile was still tinged with wet tears, making her look somewhat disheveled, yet incredibly touching.
Murong Yi looked at her and smiled, her eyes full of doting affection.
The next second, the two embraced tightly again, as if trying to merge into each other's very bones. At this moment, a thousand words were transformed into this silent embrace.
Xiaodie, who had been watching from a distance, suddenly brightened up when she saw what was happening here. A radiant smile spread across her face, and she ran towards them with light and eager steps, her hair flying wildly in the wind.
Running up to her, slightly out of breath, with a playful and expectant look on her face, she said, "Miss, are you willing to come back to the manor with me?"
At this moment, Xiao Yichen held a plain paper fan, gently swaying it as he slowly followed behind her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian reacted as if she had been electrocuted, a look of panic flashing across her face. She immediately struggled to break free from Murong Yi's grasp.
She tilted her head slightly, trying to appear calm, her eyes feigning indifference, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her inner turmoil.
Seeing her like this, Murong's eyes were filled with joy and doting, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
Upon hearing Xiaodie's words, Lin Qianqian glared at her fiercely, frowned, and helplessly pouted, saying, "You brat!"
Seeing her like this, Xiaodie was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she found it extremely amusing.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly, and burst out laughing. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face, making her look very playful.
Murong Yi was looking at Lin Qianqian with great joy when she inadvertently caught sight of Xiao Yichen in front of her.
In an instant, his brows furrowed involuntarily, a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, and he felt a sour taste in his mouth, as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned.
Lin Qianqian looked at Xiao Yichen somewhat awkwardly, scratched her head with a slightly clumsy gesture, her hair was messed up by her fingers, and a blush rose on her face as she said, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I lied to you. Actually, I'm a girl!"
Xiao Yichen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and he chuckled as he said, "Heh, actually, I saw it a long time ago!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's eyes widened instantly in surprise, her mouth slightly agape in an "O" shape. She then asked urgently, "Ah? You knew all along! How did you figure it out? Did I not look like a man?" As she spoke, she subconsciously looked herself up and down, as if trying to find a flaw.
Xiao Die, standing to the side, also looked on with curiosity, her eyes sparkling. She leaned closer, tilting her head to one side, eagerly awaiting Xiao Yichen's answer.
Xiao Yichen gently waved the fan in his hand and said slowly, "Although you are very handsome in appearance and try your best to imitate a man in your words and deeds, when you smile, your eyebrows and eyes are full of a woman's gentleness and tenderness. The expression that you reveal unintentionally cannot be hidden no matter what. Also, when you walk, your steps are light and delicate, which is completely different from the bold strides of men."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's face flushed with embarrassment and frustration. She muttered under her breath, "I thought I had hidden it quite well."
Then, Lin Qianqian and Xiao Yichen chatted and laughed, having a very pleasant conversation.
Lin Qianqian was frequently amused by Xiao Yichen's words, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Xiao Yichen, on the other hand, wore a smile, sometimes speaking eloquently, sometimes listening patiently, displaying an elegant demeanor.
But their cheerful conversation felt like thorns piercing Murong Yi's heart. Murong Yi stood to the side, her face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, her hands unconsciously clenching at her sides.
