"Fei'er..."
Xiangli Fei clicked her tongue in disgust and replied "Don't call me that... I knew you killed Fumin's mother. but I never knew that you actually slept with other men."
Her face contoured and she uttered, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and distress "Just thinking about this making me sick."
Hearing her words, Xiangli Zhai stood up and tried to speak, "You also don't believe in your mother, Fei'er? Your own mother and you believe some random woman's words?"
Anger seeped in Xiangli Fei's heart upon hearing this and she revoked "Random woman? Fumin is my little sister..."
"I-i have always wanted to get along with her, but because of you... I never got the chance to..."
"It was all because of you... you ruined my life."
Xiangli Zhi's eyes trembled and even more tears scorched down her cheeks hearing her daughter's harsh words.
'No...'
Nevertheless, she felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, and she instinctively clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging into her palm.
The frustration boiled over as she directed her ire towards Xiangli Fei, her voice laced with a mix of bitterness and disappointment.
"It was all because of you, Fei'er... if only you had won in that match."
"None of this would have happened."
H-Huh? Xiangli Fei was taken aback by her twisted kind of logic and muttered "Have you gone crazy? What the hell are you saying?"
Xiangli Zhi shook her head vehemently and pointed her finger at Xiangli Fei "No, no, no, No, ... it was all because of you. because of you.. all of this happened."
She took two steps forward and slapped Xiangli Fei "How dare you talk to your mother like that?"
H-Huh? Xiangli Fei was totally confused about her mother's behavior "What?"
"If only you had won... none of this would have happened."
Xiangli Fei's gaze squinted and she replied "Don't blame your slutiness on me..."
*slap* Xiangli Zhi again delivered a powerful slap on her daughter's face and spoke "Is that how you talk to your mother? Have you forgotten about your beatings?"
Hearing this, Xiangli Fei's eyes shrunk and the past beating when she was a child resurfaced in her mind "M-Mother?"
Xiangli Zhi reached out and grabbed her ear pulling it "Urghhh, Mom..."
She twisted her ear making it bright red and Xiangli Zhi uttered "Don't forget that I am your mother..."
Raising an eyebrow, she asked "Ever since you got a wife, you completely forgot about your Big Sister..."
Zhang Yuan smiled dryly upon hearing this and replied with a soft smile "How can I ever forget my Big Sister...?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fumin rolled her eyes "Yeah, yeah... you stopped coming to my room and spent all of your time with Xia."
She rolled on the bed and lay beside him as a soft mutter escaped her lips "Yuan..."
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and reached out grasping her waist as he pulled her closer, hugging her in his cozy arms.
Zhang Fumin's hands found themselves around his neck as she nestled against him, and buried her face into the soft fabric of his shirt, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her cheek.
With a teasing glint in his eyes, he asked "Seems like you missed me."
Zhang Fumin pulled back her hand and gave a punch to his stomach "of course, you bastard..."
Feeling her punch, Zhang Yuan chuckled and pulled her even closer, patting her head "Well sorry for making you feel alone."
"You better be..."
Her gaze trembled as she could feel her little brother slowly drifting away from her and she hated this feeling.
She doesn't mind him having other women, she just wants him to spend some time with her and show some attention to her.
At this time, she remembered something and spoke "By the way, Yuan.. tomorrow is Hang Bao festival..."
"Oh... it was tomorrow..." Zhang Yuan uttered, his fingers playing and twirling her luscious black hair.
"Yeah... it is a festival which makes our wishes come true... haha."
Zhang Yuan looked down at her face and his gaze softened "I see..."
Her hands around his neck tightened and Zhang Yuan also drew her closer, their bodies merging into one as the warmth radiating from each of them began to blend, seeping into their skin and enveloping them in a comforting heat.
Instinctively, she entwined her legs with him and Zhang Yuan also reciprocated twirling his legs with her.
Zhang Fumin's eyes fluttered open as a rush of happiness washed over her heart for just being in her arms and she finally realized her own feelings.
'I love you... Yuan...'
With that, she closed her eyes drifting to sleep in her lover's embrace.
