Li Muyan pushed Gu Xin: "Move aside, I have something to say to your sister."

As soon as his hand touched Gu Xin, he tripped over his own feet and fell.

Gu Xin: "My sister has nothing to say to you!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull Gu Nian away, but she couldn't budge her.

Gu Xin looked at Gu Nian: "Sister, he's a liar, he's lying to you. Besides, it was clearly Li Shan who started the trouble, and he even stopped you. We were almost beaten by the guards of the Qu Prince's Mansion, and then he left! Sister, are you still going to listen to his excuses?"

Gu Xin used to like Li Muyan quite a bit. She thought he was smart, cheerful, and could do a lot of interesting things. He was also good to her sister.

However, he was a liar, he hurt his sister's feelings, and she disliked anyone who hurt her family!

Li Muyan lay on the ground, grabbing Gu Nian's skirt: "Niannian, I didn't. I really didn't mean to lie to you, I was scared. That time, I really didn't know Zhu Mingsheng was going to drug me. Now, Zhu Mingsheng's family is finished, they've been punished, you should be over it now! Niannian, I miss you. I thought I could control myself and not think about you, that as long as I didn't see you, everything would be fine. Today, I only wanted to confront Princess Jinghe because she hit Shan'er repeatedly. I don't know why things turned out that way. I'm scared, I'm scared to face you. I was just afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would go crazy for you. I hurt them, they won't do anything to me, but they will target you. Niannian, I don't know what to do! Niannian, don't go, let's be like before, okay? I can't live without you!"

Gu Nian's sudden heartache vanished instantly, replaced by numbness.

Gu Xin said angrily, "Li Muyan, you're so hypocritical! You say you're afraid they'll target us, but they've been targeting us all along! We're not afraid, so what are you afraid of! In the end, you think you're the most important person. You can't solve the current situation, so you just cower like a turtle, convincing yourself that it's for our own good! You..."

Gu Nian interrupted Gu Xin: "Alright, Xin Xin, let's go!"

Gu Xin was furious, but she was no match for Gu Nian's strength and was pulled away by Gu Nian.

Li Muyan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably: "Niannian, don't go..."

Gu Xin was about to say something when a gust of wind blew by, and she felt a drop of rain fall on her face. She was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and saw that it wasn't raining.

Then she saw her sister wipe away a tear.

Gu Xin got angry: "Sister! Why are you crying? Why are you crying for him! He treats you badly, why are you torturing yourself?"

Gu Nian wiped away her tears: "Yes, I know, I won't cry anymore. I won't cry anymore."

Gu Xin was so angry that she turned around and wanted to beat up Li Muyan. This guy was too bad. All the sisters were avoiding him, but he still came out and made them unhappy.

Gu Nian hugged Gu Xin, stopping her from leaving: "Xin Xin, let's go back, don't worry about him."

Gu Xin struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, and shouted, "White Robe!"

A man dressed in black came out from around the corner: "Third Miss, the sect leader is resting today. I am Bai Jiu, please give your instructions."

Gu Xin looked at Bai Jiu: "Go, beat Li Muyan up and throw him back to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Tell the people there to keep an eye on him and not let him go out and cause trouble. Otherwise, beat him every time they see him!"

Bai Jiu clasped her hands in a fist salute: "Yes, Third Miss!"

Gu Nian stared in disbelief.

Gu Xin retorted, "I'm going to hit him because he made you cry! If you're unhappy that I hit him, I'll hit him too!"

Gu Nian hugged Gu Xin tightly. After two years, her younger sister could protect her now.

Gu Xin sniffed, her heart aching, and said, "Sister, don't be sad. If he's not good, we'll definitely meet someone good. Mom and Dad and I will always be there to support you. You still have us."
