"Sister, are you here to laugh at me? But it doesn't matter. I married a prince, and you married a mere general. You will never be able to surpass me, ever!"
"I'm fed up with your pretentious attitude. I don't like you at all, and neither do my father and mother."
"Even if you have a pretty face, you are just a tool for marriage."
Su Chaoge stared at Su Jinge with resentment. She no longer wanted to hide it. Lin Xi was about to go to the battlefield. Rong Jingyuan said that he would not come back. In that case, there was no need to maintain a superficial relationship with Su Jinge.
What she hated the most was the huge difference in their appearances. Su Jinge didn't have to do anything to win other people's love. She didn't want to see Su Jinge's face at all.
It would be better if this face no longer existed.
Su Chaoge was influenced by her father, the emperor, and her mother, the empress, since she was a child. She knew clearly that Su Jinge would eventually marry into a foreign alliance, so she never took her seriously. However, because she wanted a good reputation, she pretended to be a good sister.
Su Jinge couldn't stand Su Chaoge's hateful expression towards her and finally fled.
After coming back, she sat quietly in front of the window, gazing into the distance, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the days she spent with Su Chaoge.
Every detail and every word appeared clearly in her mind, as if it happened yesterday.
Those moments that she once regarded as a beautiful life now seem so ironic and ridiculous. It turns out that all this was just a carefully choreographed drama, but she naively believed it.
If Su Chaoge had been as cold and distant to her as his father and mother, perhaps she would have felt better, but it was precisely because she had given him warmth and care that she had expectations of him that made the betrayal at this moment even more cruel.
The corners of Su Jinge's mouth rose slightly, revealing a bitter smile. She turned her head and leaned on Lin Xi's arms, feeling his body temperature and breath. The familiar smell made her feel a little comforted, but the pain in her heart still could not be calmed. A crystal tear slid down her cheek, dripping silently.
She sighed inwardly, she should have understood long ago that some things can't be forced. However, she longed for family affection so much that she desperately wanted to grasp that illusory happiness.
Now, reality has dealt her a heavy blow.
Seeing her condition, Lin Xi touched Su Jinge's head with some heartache.
"Jin Ge, go to bed and rest for a while, okay?"
Su Jinge did not answer him. She lay in Lin Xi's arms and said something in a very soft voice. In this quiet room, it was loud enough for Lin Xi to hear clearly.
"Lin Xi, will you always be by my side?"
Su Jinge pinched the corner of Lin Xi's clothes, her eyes full of pain. Now she was like a broken doll and needed someone to fill the hurt she had suffered.
Lin Xi nodded eagerly, holding her in his arms, his voice gentle, "Of course, I will always be with you. Lin Xi will always be with Su Jinge."
After hearing this, Su Jinge was silent for a long time. Could she believe what Lin Xi said?
She looked up at the pair of tender eyes above her, and said in a rush of emotion, "Can you kiss me?"
Lin Xi was a little surprised, but saw Su Jinge's red eyes and nervous eyes.
Without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her, one hand around the slender waist of the person in his arms, and the other hand on Su Jinge's back. The kiss was light and slow, and it made Su Jinge feel at ease.
