"This!" Liu Shuangshuang looked at the thing in her hand in disbelief.
"This is a gift for helping me treat my team member!" Jiang Yuan seemed indifferent, as if the gift was insignificant.
Liu Shuangshuang gripped the object in her hand tightly, and finally said with deep gratitude, "Jiang Yuan, thank you!"
"What about mine!" Liu Zhaodi stretched out her hand to Jiang Yuan. She refused to believe that if he could give her older sister such an expensive gift, what he gave her could be anything less.
"You?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow at Liu Zhaodi, then grinned mischievously, "You forgot to prepare!"
"Now that I'm reminding you, are you getting ready?" Liu Zhaodi pouted unhappily.
"I've already forgotten about it, so let's just forget about it!" Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"How could you do this!" Liu Zhaodi was almost crying with anger. She had not only gone through life and death with him all the way, but she hadn't even taken any spoils of war. Now he couldn't even be bothered to prepare a gift for her.
"Sister Shuangshuang, let me take you to see my injured teammates!"
Seeing Liu Zhaodi's expression, Jiang Yuan felt even more inclined to tease her, so he ignored her completely.
Liu Shuangshuang glanced at her second sister, wanting to say something, but after seeing Jiang Yuan's ambiguous smile, she chose to remain silent.
"Alright then, I'll go check on the injured person first to make sure I can treat them accurately!" Liu Shuangshuang nodded.
"Are you going?" Jiang Yuan asked Liu Zhaodi deliberately.
"Hmph!" Liu Zhaodi stomped hard on Jiang Yuan's foot, then turned around with the little dumpling in her arms: "Little dumpling, let's go, I don't want to see scum!"
"Are you crazy? Why did you step on me for no reason!" Jiang Yuan cursed, but Liu Zhaodi had already walked away angrily.
"Zhao Di has always been straightforward, Young Master Jiang, please don't mind!" Liu Shuang explained to Liu Zhao Di with a smile in her eyes.
Jiang Yuan chuckled and shook his head slightly, saying, "I can see that. Let's go over there then!"
After walking for a short while, Liu Shuangshuang asked cautiously, "Young Master Jiang deliberately sent Zhaodi away, surely you have something to say to me!"
"Sister Shuangshuang is indeed intelligent and kind-hearted!" Jiang Yuan praised.
"Please speak freely, young master!"
After organizing his thoughts, Jiang Yuan said earnestly, "I already explained to Sister Shuangshuang last time that Zhao Di and I are just ordinary friends!"
Liu Shuangshuang nodded, which was also why she didn't call Jiang Yuan her brother-in-law.
“Actually, I don’t know when I gave Liu Zhaodi the illusion that we could be together, so if she misunderstands, I think I need to apologize to her. At the same time, I also hope that Sister Shuangshuang can subtly persuade her,” Jiang Yuan said sincerely.
"What should I advise her about?" Liu Shuangshuang didn't quite understand Jiang Yuan's subtle expression, but since it concerned her second sister's lifelong happiness, she had to be careful.
"I advise her to stay away from me! Although I've been taking her around a lot lately, my purpose is obvious: I'm just using her. Whether it's for transactions or training trips, it's all about making things easier!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
"So, you really don't like her at all?" Liu Shuangshuang hesitated for a long time before asking.
Upon hearing the question, Jiang Yuan briefly recalled the scene of the two of them at the bottom of the lake, but immediately shook his head in denial, saying, "There's no doubt about that. I have absolutely no romantic feelings for her! And she will never be the one I love!"
Snap!
The storage ring fell and hit the floor tiles with a crisp clanging sound.
"Zhao Di, why are you back!" Liu Shuangshuang was startled by the voice and turned around to find Liu Zhao Di standing behind her as if she had lost her soul.
Liu Zhaodi trembled, and she pointed to the storage ring on the ground and stammered, "I...I'll get something for Jiang Yuan."
"Did you forget something?" Liu Shuangshuang noticed the change in Liu Zhaodi's expression and felt the heartache she felt as her older sister.
Liu Zhaodi bit her lip and squatted down. After picking up the storage ring, she stood up and smiled, "Chen Xinghuai has joined the Liu family, and he is willing to give up 150,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. We agreed on this before, so I plan to give you 80,000!"
"for you!"
Liu Zhaodi practically ran over and shoved the storage ring into Jiang Yuan's hand, then forced a smile and ran away.
"Silly sister, a forced smile is worse than tears!" Liu Shuangshuang sighed deeply, and Liu Zhaodi's sadness was practically written all over her face.
"That's fine too!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
Liu Shuangshuang turned her head to look at Jiang Yuan and asked curiously, "You knew she was coming, so you deliberately told me these things?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Zhaodi is a very persistent girl. She won't give up unless I say these words to her!"
"So, you chose to tell her this way?" A hint of worry appeared on Liu Shuangshuang's face.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow. I believe she'll adjust herself while I'm gone. After all, she's so outstanding, she shouldn't be hung up on me!" Jiang Yuan said and continued walking forward.
"Let's go see my teammates!"
...
Has he left?
Inside a side hall that had been converted into a covenant base, Liu Zhaodi, her face etched with worry, sat with her chin in her hand in front of Liu Shuangshuang.
"They've been missing since early this morning, they must have left!" Liu Shuangshuang nodded.
“He even took the little dumpling away, he definitely doesn’t want to have anything to do with me anymore!” Liu Zhaodi muttered, puffing out her cheeks.
Liu Shuangshuang sighed helplessly, "Zhaodi, you weren't like this before!"
“Yes, I wasn’t like this before! The Liu Zhaodi of the past never gave up, never admitted defeat, but look at me now, all she does is sit here complaining, all she does is…”
