Shen Qingling's lips twitched uncontrollably. She had a thousand words she wanted to say, but in the end, she didn't utter a single one.
She genuinely thought Luo Shuling was a monster, terrifyingly so, arranging everything so meticulously, even calculating the formation of alliances with pinpoint accuracy.
A brief silence fell over the bedroom again.
Shen Qingling took a few deep breaths, then spoke again in a low voice, her tone carrying a helplessness she herself was unaware of:
"Actually... my situation isn't very optimistic either. My family has been hoping I'd make a mistake so they could take the opportunity to bring me down and promote those illegitimate children to take over."
Luo Shuling patted her on the back and comforted her with a smile:
"So I've been protecting you this past year. Besides, we're both under the legal marriage age yet. Before that, whatever we do is just minor mischief and won't cause any major problems."
Shen Qingling was completely speechless. Looking at Luo Shuling's confident appearance, her anxiety was replaced by a sense of powerlessness at being "completely arranged."
She took several deep breaths, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. She reached out and grabbed Luo Shuling's chest hard, her tone tinged with resentment:
"You're so infuriating!"
"Ouch!" Luo Shuling shuddered as she was grabbed, immediately curling up into a ball and giggling.
Not to be outdone, she reached out and tickled Shen Qingling.
Two stunningly beautiful young girls instantly started wrestling, their silk quilts were kicked aside, their nightgowns were torn and disheveled, and their hair gradually came loose.
High-level venting often only requires the simplest methods.
There were no arguments, only laughter and playful banter, instantly dispelling the originally heavy atmosphere.
Under the warm light, two fair-skinned, curvaceous girls rolled around together, sometimes tickling each other, sometimes tugging at each other's clothes. The scene was so beautiful and impactful that any man who saw it would probably have a nosebleed.
After quite some time, the noise from the fighting gradually subsided.
Panting heavily, Shen Qingling was pinned down by Luo Shuling, her eyes filled with resentment—really, she couldn't win an argument or a fight!
Shen Qingling slowly exhaled, nudged Luo Shuling's shoulder to stop her from pressing down on him, then suddenly raised her head and asked earnestly:
"Who do you think will end up marrying Gu Luo?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shuling climbed off her, lay back down, reached out and gently pinched Shen Qingling's flushed cheek, and said with a smile:
"Stop testing me. I'm not going to worry about this marriage certificate. We can save up some money together, buy a small island, and live together. Wouldn't that be great?"
“This is different.” Shen Qingling shook her head stubbornly, her eyes filled with a mixture of obstinacy and longing:
"What I want is to be able to be intimate with Gu Luo openly and honestly on Chinese soil, and to have an open and honest identity that is recognized by everyone."
Seeing her serious expression, Luo Shuling didn't try to persuade her any further.
She could understand this feeling. These women were all chosen ones, and although they were willing to follow Gu Luo and share him, they still had their pride and hoped to obtain a legitimate status.
Thinking of this, Luo Shuling gently patted her hand, lay back down, gazed at the snow-white ceiling, and said softly:
"To be honest, I don't know, I really don't know what the final outcome will be. But whether it's you, or Shuhe, Shuning, Xiaoman, Xuexue... as long as you can be with my brother in the end, I will sincerely wish you well."
Shen Qingling raised her hand to smooth her slightly disheveled hair, her fingertips brushing against her flushed cheeks, and asked softly:
Don't you have any thoughts on this?
Upon hearing this, Luo Shuling turned her head, smiled slightly at her, her eyes clear and honest:
“If I had any ideas, it wouldn’t be your place to interfere. From the beginning, all I wanted to do was stay by his side.”
Shen Qingling stopped talking and closed her eyes.
The bedroom fell silent again, the incense still wafting softly, and the warm light gently enveloping the two of them.
This silence lacked the subtlety of the previous one, instead conveying a deeper, unspoken understanding.
