Chapter 856 - Hardly Had Any Appetite

It would have been better to leave things unsaid. Now that Wang Xiangyun had been triggered, she wept even louder and more terribly than before.

She only stopped when she got tired, her cries reduced to silent sobs.

After giving in to her emotions, Wang Xiangyun’s suppressed feelings were significantly lifted.

“Get some glutinous porridge for her,” Wang Xixuan instructed Little Tian.

He cared for his only sister very much. How could she have been away for a little shorter than a month and come home thinner and weaker than before?

What pains had she suffered to fall into such a state? Why had she chosen to torture herself by refusing food? Wang Xixuan wanted desperately to get to the bottom of this, but he would let her have her fill first.

“Little Tian, don’t go.” Wang Xiangyun shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”

She did not feel like eating. In fact, she hardly had any appetite.

Wang Xixuan urged Little Tian to carry on with her work and not heed the young lady.

Naturally, Little Tian quickly slipped into the kitchen. She and Wang Xixuan shared the same thoughts. Whatever happens, food comes first!

No one should go hungry!

The brother and sister were the only ones left in the room. Wang Xixuan spoke softly. “Yun Er, come home with me. Mum and Dad miss you. They worry about you.”

“No, I don’t want to!” Wang Xiangyun exclaimed emotionally.

How could she go home like this?

If she did, she would only break her parents’ hearts, and she did not want that.

Wang Xixuan furrowed his brows but continued to try to persuade her patiently. “Yun Er, why not? It’s not a family without you. We can’t call it that. Please talk to me. Share with me your troubles. I can help you solve them.”

“Then can you convince Brother Ming to marry me? Can you make him fall in love with me, just like I have for him? Can you do this for me, Brother?”

Some time along their conversation, Wang Xiangyun’s eyes began to water once more, as she begged her brother.

“…”

For a while, Wang Xixuan was unable to respond to her plea. What could he say to her?

Dongfang Ming had clearly stated his position on the matter. Moreover, one could lead a horse to water, but one could not force it to drink. In the end, his sister would suffer the most.

Wang Xiangyun completely lost it when her brother failed to respond in time. She screamed loudly at him, “You’re a liar! A fraud! And you say you can help me solve my problems? You’re just cheating me! You cheater!”

Wang Xixuan felt a pang of pain as he looked at the lackluster appearence in his sister’s eyes, despite her ferocity at the moment. He became more desperate to find out what exactly had happened to her in the time she was away. What could have possibly changed the girl’s cheerful, energetic, gentle nature and allowed a testy, anxious, and aggressive person to take her place?

“Say something! Why aren’t you saying anything?” Wang Xiangyun kept hitting him, her eyes full of anger. “Don’t give me promises you don’t intend to keep! You’re a liar! A big, fat liar!”

“Yun Er, don’t be like this! Brother Dongfang, he… he only thinks of you as a sister, why must you do this to yourself?” Wang Xixuan sighed.

“Get out, you! Get out! I don’t want to see you! I don’t want to see anyone!”

Wang Xiangyun did not listen to him. She forced her only brother out of her room, tears flowing non-stop.

Seeing her in such a delicate, emotional state, Wang Xixuan did not want to challenge her anger. He voluntarily stepped out of the room and stood by the door.

He was about to speak when Wang Xiangyun slammed the door shut with a bang!
