Chapter 58

“Err…” As Qian Tao did not know who this young girl was, she did not know how to respond.

Suddenly, the girl’s eyes twinkled and she flashed a grin, its intention for which nobody could guess. She threw the few bags in her hands onto the ground and walked towards Qian Tao.

She sat opposite Qian Tao and stared at her with her alert amber eyes, “You’d better tell me, what’s your relationship with the owner of this house? Why are you here?”

The girl’s eyes were clear and through her eyes, Qian Tao could feel a familiar aura. Where did it come from?

No matter what, with a guilty conscience, she did not reply.

The girl with that aura…couldn’t be Li Hengzhi’s girlfriend, could she?

She looked young. Had she come of age?

Qian Tao frowned and thought to herself, ‘I’ll wait for Li Hengzhi to return and settle this himself. If I were to say something wrong and affect their relationship, how could I be responsible for that?’

The girl narrowed her eyes and her tone became a threatening one, “If you don’t tell, do you believe I’ll…”

“Nianxin!”

Her words were interrupted by a magnetic voice.

Li Hengzhi walked down the staircase, frowning. With his aura, nobody dared to act without constraint.

The girl called Nianxin immediately switched her expression and with a big grin, ran towards him. “Brother…”

Eh?

Qian Tao blinked.

Older brother?

She was not his girlfriend but his little sister?

Ah…she suddenly recalled where that familiar aura came from.

As she was his sister, her aura was very similar to that of her brother when she was serious about something. She had probably been unconsciously influenced by her brother.

Li Nianxin, who wanted a hug, stretched out her arms, but was stopped by Li Hengzhi. His long fingers tugged on Li Nianxin’s forehead but his expression was still tense. “How old are you now, to still dash like this?”

“Hey!” Li Nianxin stepped backwards. Leaning on the staircase railing, she smiled slyly. “Brother, who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before? You’ve brought her home, could she be…”

Qian Tao saw that Li Hengzhi had not changed and when he returned, his hands were empty. He could probably neither locate Ji Xuan nor find any suitable clothing for her.

“Your sister-in-law.”

Qian Tao did not expect Li Hengzhi to give a reply similar to the one which he had given to Ji Xuan. He had announced her identity in such a simple and crude manner.

“Sis-in-law!” The flame of nosiness had been ignited in Li Nianxin’s eyes and she ran down the staircase and crouched in front of Qian Tao. “So, you are the legendary sister-in-law of mine? When I asked you just now, why didn’t you reply? I saw that you had a guilty conscience and thought you were the little mistress that my brother had brought home! I was ready to show my dominance.”

True enough, Li Nianxin was totally different from how she had been just a while ago.

After knowing she was the proper sister-in-law, her attitude changed immediately.

“I heard from my uncle that the elder daughter of the Qian family is beautiful, radiant, and likeable. Today, I attended the wedding just to see you. Why didn’t you attend?”

“Ah?” Li Nianxin was overly warm and Qian Tao was not used to it.

This girl’s warmth and her brother’s coldness was such a striking contrast…

Could siblings of the same mother have such differences?

“Oh…” Li Nianxin suddenly understood and smiled slyly, “Brother, no wonder you left early. You went to look for my sis-in-law! How romantic, walking in the rain together!”

Li Hengzhi went to the wedding?

Left early…because of her?
