Chapter 16: 016 Outburst of Anger

“How can you just accept this fate?” Liu Qian'er’s willow brows furrowed in distress as she continued, “He redeemed you, yes, but how can you let yourself be wasted like this? You are still just a young girl; you have a long road ahead of you!”

Xia Ye lowered her head in silence. After spending these past few days together, she believed that Young Master Leng was a good man.

Looking at the Xia Ye before her, Liu Qian'er finally erupted. “Is the way he treats you considered good? Are you really that easily satisfied? Do you truly want to follow him like this?” She admitted that Leng Zhehan was handsome and wealthy. In the twenty-first century, he would have been a standard tycoon, the object of pursuit for many women. But isn't a woman's lifelong hope simply to find someone who treats her well, pampers her, loves her, and cherishes her?

“Young Mistress!” Han Yu stepped forward and pulled at Liu Qian'er’s sleeve. This was the first time she had seen Liu Qian'er reveal her innermost emotions; in Han Yu's eyes, Liu Qian'er had always been calm and composed. At Han Yu's call, the agitated Liu Qian'er quickly calmed down. She glanced at Leng Zhehan, then at Han Yu, and finally shifted her gaze to Xia Ye. “I am sorry, Miss Xia Ye, I shouldn't have meddled in your affairs. I hope you can find happiness!” Immediately after, she turned to Han Yu and said softly, “Let's go!”

After walking nearly twenty paces, Liu Qian'er slowly came to a halt. She slowly raised her hand, waved it in the air, and shouted loudly, “Leng Zhehan, I am leaving Miss Xia Ye in your hands! You must treat her well, otherwise, I will not let you off!”

Leng Zhehan did not respond. He stood quietly, watching Liu Qian'er as she gradually drifted away, his heart feeling somewhat complicated. He had seen the sincerity in her eyes and felt the sincerity in her heart. He had never met such a person before, nor had he ever believed that such a kind-hearted person existed in this world.

“Young Master Leng!” Seeing that Liu Qian'er had left, Xia Ye softly called out to the contemplating Leng Zhehan.

Leng Zhehan's thoughts were pulled back by Xia Ye. Looking at her, he said indifferently, “Let's go.”

Liu Qian'er kept her head down, jogging all the way.

She was extremely furious in her heart. She shouldn't have meddled in other people's business in the first place, and in the end, she had only made herself unhappy. What was she doing this for? She swore: she would never meddle in anyone's business again!

A handsome man stood smiling in front of Liu Qian'er. Only after she approached did he call out in a low voice, “Qian'er!”

Hearing the voice, Liu Qian'er quickly looked up, surprised. “Brother, why are you here?”

Liu Hongwen smiled slightly. “I originally intended to enter the palace to visit you.” In truth, ever since he saw Liu Qian'er that day, he had been startled; he simply could not associate the old her with the current her. Now, her speech and conduct were clearly those of a lady from a prestigious family, making him want to see his sister from time to time. After a pause, he continued, “I didn't expect to run into you just as I left the Prince's Mansion!”

“Qian'er was just about to go home to see Brother and our parents.” Liu Qian'er smiled as she stepped forward to take Liu Hongwen's arm, speaking slowly, “Thank you for your help yesterday, Brother. You kept Qian'er from losing face!”

Liu Hongwen pulled a long face and said, “Qian'er, I am your brother, why must you thank me?”

“Alright, Qian'er understands!” Liu Qian'er let go of his hand and made a gesture of obedience, smiling, “Thank you, Brother!”

Liu Hongwen was stunned. Was this playful little girl before him truly his sister? Compared to before, the current her was much more lovable, giving one an impulse to protect her.
