Seeing how icy and cold her older sister looked, Liu Mengxi fearfully shrank her neck.
Five years ago, after their parents died in a car accident, Liu Yunshuang had directly taken on the roles of both elder sister and mother. Liu Mengxi could be said to have been raised single-handedly by her sister, Liu Yunshuang.
Liu Yunshuang was Linjiang City's renowned ice-cold CEO—aloof, proud, and rarely smiling. She had always been exceptionally strict in teaching Liu Mengxi.
As a result, the little girl was terrified of her sister from the bottom of her heart.
"Were you with Jiang Che last night?"
Looking over the younger sister before her, who was clearly different from usual, Liu Yunshuang's eyelashes furrowed slightly. After a long silence, she slowly asked the question.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze swept back and forth over Liu Mengxi's brows and legs.
Seeing Liu Mengxi's strange walking posture and the faint feminine charm between her brows, Liu Yunshuang had roughly guessed what had happened.
Though she had never experienced such things herself, her age and experience were there. She was no Silly Sweet who knew nothing.
Besides, she had long known that her sister was exceptionally obsessed with Jiang Che, the Jiang Family's Young Master, nearly to the point of being unable to pull herself free.
Liu Mengxi had not returned home all night, and her phone had been switched off. It was only from the bodyguards that she learned her good sister had entered and left Yunhai Grand Hotel with Jiang Che.
Liu Yunshuang had initially still harbored a few lucky hopes, but seeing her sister like this now, the heart that had been hanging in the air finally sank completely...
The company's affairs had been busy these past few days. She often worked overtime until late at night and rarely went home. She never expected her good sister to seize this chance and completely give herself away...
Liu Yunshuang unconsciously clenched her delicate fists, feeling both stifled and furious.
Watching the little cabbage she had raised for eighteen years get handed over to Jiang Che so cheaply, one could imagine her mood.
Liu Yunshuang did not dislike Jiang Che. After all, his reputation in their circle had been excellent over the years. He kept himself clean and had never been involved in scandals like those other rich second-generation heirs.
But...
Her sister had only just turned eighteen, damn it!
Her wonderful life had only just begun, and she had already handed over something so important?
"Yes, Sister..."
"Mengxi was with Brother all night last night~"
"And Mengxi and Brother have already become one~"
"Sister will definitely bless your little sister, right?"
Liu Mengxi's bright, watery eyes darted around as she blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke sweetly.
Seeing that her sister had not immediately exploded, she knew there was still room to negotiate.
Besides, she had already given herself to him. What could her sister do even if she disagreed?
In any case, she had completely made up her mind about Brother in this life. She would never leave him!
She had known long ago that her sister would definitely stop her from giving herself away, which was why the little girl had acted first and explained later.
Liu Yunshuang: ...
Liu Yunshuang irritably rubbed the space between her brows, utterly speechless and deeply troubled.
How could someone as shrewd as her have such a Silly Sweet Love Brain of a younger sister?
The more easily something was obtained, the less it would be cherished.
Did her silly little sister not even understand such a simple and common truth?
Or had her love for Jiang Che already become enough to make her disregard everything?
But her sister had only just turned eighteen. Did she really understand what love was?
Now that things had come to this, what else could she do?
Though she had always been strict in teaching Liu Mengxi, Liu Yunshuang loved her sister dearly.
Fortunately, Jiang Che was not some frivolous, womanizing Young Master.
Otherwise, she truly would have nowhere to cry...
"Until school starts, stay at home and behave yourself. Reflect on what you've done."
"You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"I'll have bodyguards watch you around the clock."
After coldly leaving those words behind, Liu Yunshuang temporarily put aside the mess of thoughts in her mind, turned around, and went upstairs to the study to deal with work.
As the president of the entire Liu Group, Liu Yunshuang had endless documents to handle and countless tasks every day. She did not have much time to argue with her sister.
She could neither hit her nor scold her.
Moreover, the little girl had become somewhat immune to her current cold attitude and was not afraid at all.
The only method Liu Yunshuang could think of now was to temporarily confine the little girl and let her calm down for a few days.
"Hmph, Sister is such a bad person~"
Liu Mengxi made a face at Liu Yunshuang's retreating back and happily accepted the punishment.
There were only half a month left until school started, so she could naturally wait.
Jiang Che was also a student at Linjiang University. She would have plenty of chances to go on dates with Brother then.
Imagining the wonderful campus life ahead, the little girl in white stockings hummed a tune as she returned to her room.
After returning to her room, Liu Mengxi followed Jiang Che's instructions and went to the bathroom first before swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Youth Preserving Pill.
Liu Mengxi had not understood before why her good Brother kept stressing that she should take the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the bathroom, but now she understood.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth. As its effects began to take hold, layers of grime quickly emerged across her skin.
After washing up, she put on a white dress and stood before the full-length mirror. Looking at her face and figure in the mirror, Liu Mengxi was satisfied no matter how she looked.
Liu Mengxi had always been extremely confident in her appearance.
After all, she had been called the most beautiful Campus Belle in high school, with countless admirers pursuing her.
After taking the Youth Preserving Pill, her skin had been nourished, becoming even fairer and more delicate—radiant and lustrous, crystalline as snow. Its effects were incomparably better than even those high-end cosmetics!
After noticing the changes in herself, Liu Mengxi became incredibly excited.
Lying on her soft bed and swinging her legs in white stockings, she began chatting with Jiang Che on her phone, impatient to share the good news with him.
[Brother, this Youth Preserving Pill is truly magical. My skin is so much whiter than before. I won't need any cosmetics in the future...] [Hehe, thank you, Brother. Mwah~] [I'm glad you like it.] [I like it. Mengxi likes it so much~] [Brother, Sister already knows about us. She grounded me and won't let me leave until school starts.] [I won't get to see Brother for another half a month, sob sob sob.] [It's fine. Half a month is nothing. It'll pass quickly.] [By the way, Brother, do you still have pills like the Youth Preserving Pill?] [If we give Sister a Youth Preserving Pill, she probably won't stop us from being together...]
After typing those words, Liu Mengxi nervously stared at her phone screen and quietly waited for Jiang Che's reply.
The Youth Preserving Pill's effects were so miraculous that it could be called an unparalleled treasure. A single pill was already priceless and impossible to obtain even with a fortune. Liu Mengxi knew her request was somewhat excessive, but she could not help asking outright.
With something this good, the first person she naturally thought of was her sister, Liu Yunshuang.
Moreover, she truly wanted to use the Youth Preserving Pill as a bargaining chip in exchange for her sister's approval.
Once her sister was happy and lifted her confinement, would she not be able to see Brother every day?
Perhaps she might even get the chance to move into Brother's Qingteng Villa and stay there long-term.
Imagining the wonderful future life she would share with Jiang Che, Liu Mengxi could not help grinning foolishly.
As for whether her sister would refuse?
She had never considered it at all.
Liu Mengxi did not believe her sister could resist the temptation of the Youth Preserving Pill.
