It felt like an eternity.
Bai Ruoxue finally spoke.
"And you? Do you still have feelings for him?"
Bai Qingci nodded, "Hmph. I was the one who asked first."
"Okay. I have always had a crush on him."
"From the first time I met him, he felt different from everyone else, just like any other man I knew."
"The more I got to know him, the stronger the feeling I got from him became, and the deeper my affection for him grew."
Bai Ruoxue sighed.
“You… understand. This is possible.”
"Chen... is a very restrained man when it comes to relationships."
"Chen has had many beautiful women around him, but over the years, the only ones who have been able to enter his heart, besides his wife Su Ruochu, are the big star Wen Wan."
"Qingci, think it through, or keep waiting."
"It's very possible that there will be some gains, but the deeper the love, the deeper the hurt."
Bai Qingci turned her head and looked at her sister's beautiful profile.
In the darkness, the moonlight made Bai Ruoxue's face seem to glow.
"Sis, what about you? Are you really giving up?"
"It's not easy to meet a man you truly love in this lifetime. Are you really going to give up so easily?"
Bai Ruoxue smiled and said, "To be honest, in the past, I would definitely have gone all out."
“We have status, background, and ability. Most importantly, our figure and looks are second to none. So, I am confident that I can compete with any woman around Chen.”
"But since the Bai family incident, I've been alone abroad for the past few years, and I've suddenly realized that a person's life isn't just about living on emotions; there are many more important things for me to do."
Hearing this, Bai Qingci felt a pang of heartache and gently took her sister's hand.
"Sister, you're carrying too much pressure. We are women first and foremost. A woman's life isn't complete without a deeply unforgettable love."
Bai Ruoxue smiled and took her younger sister's little hand.
"If we speak frankly, we might not even be able to remain friends in this lifetime."
"If we were to speak frankly, at least we could remain friends like we are now, with nothing to say to each other."
"Qingci, you know, I know, Chen Ji knows... but I don't think this relationship is going well."
"Given Chen's personality, he might marry another woman in his lifetime."
Bai Qingci muttered softly, "I didn't plan to marry him either. It's just... it's just..."
Bai Qingci muttered something for a while, and finally murmured something with a hint of satisfaction.
Where exactly did we lose?
"Sis, to be honest, I'm actually friends with Su Ruochu now. From my observation, I've found that Su Ruochu is a very kind, optimistic, and innocent girl."
"She doesn't have big ambitions or any particularly strong abilities; she just wants to live a peaceful and simple life."
"She is indeed a good girl to live a good life with, but I still can't understand why Chen is so devoted to her?"
Bai Ruoxue chuckled and said, "He even knows the little princess of the European royal family, which means that what really attracts Chen Qi to Su Ruochu is not her figure, face, or background."
"Perhaps this is a case of one thing subduing another. Su Ruochu must possess some quality that attracts Chen Qi."
Bai Qingci sighed.
"Actually, the more I interacted with Su Ruochu and the better our relationship became, the more I realized that it was possible for me to be with Chen Qi in this lifetime."
"I like this kind of thing, and I can't control it, so I can only keep it secretly in my heart, just like you, sister."
Bai Ruoxue gave a soft hum.
"You can learn from me. If I take control of the Bai family in the future, I'll be very busy. You, on the other hand, can meet someone who truly loves you, and then get married and have children..."
Bai Qingci interrupted her older sister directly.
"Do you think that's possible? Is it even possible for us to fall in love with other men?"
Bai Ruoxue remained silent.
Indeed, the more they interacted with Chen, the deeper their understanding of him became.
The more she became infatuated with this man, the more fascinated she became.
It's almost impossible for me to fall in love with another man in this lifetime.
...
Chen hasn't slept.
He guarded the bedroom, waiting for news to come from outside.
He was worried that the second branch of the Bai family might take a risk, since the security force they brought this time was much larger. If the other party really took the risk, they might be in danger.
Good. Bai Yaowu hasn't gone completely insane yet.
A peaceful night.
Around 1:00 AM, Chen received a report from Zhang Shun outside.
I got up, turned on the light, prepared to go to the bathroom to use the toilet, and then lay down to rest for a while.
After coming out of the restroom, Chen stretched his slightly sore arms.
As a result, when he stretched out his arms halfway, he suddenly froze in place.
In the kitchen across the street, a beautiful woman named No, wearing a white sheer nightgown, was drinking water, holding a water glass in one hand and a glass pitcher in the other.
Neither of them expected this to happen.
Their eyes met.
Chen was stunned.
Bai Ruoxue's nightgown was only a thin layer.
Under the lamplight, her graceful figure was faintly visible through the thin gauze.
It's simply the most fatal temptation for a grown man.
Bai Ruoxue also didn't expect to run into Chen Kun at the restroom at this time.
Their eyes met, and Bai Ruoxue noticed Chen's gaze. Her body stiffened slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
She naturally understood that the nightgown she was wearing was somewhat transparent.
Actually, this nightgown belongs to my younger sister; Bai Ruoxue didn't bring any luggage with her when she came back this time.
When Bai Qingci got the clothes for Zigan, she jokingly said, "You'd better be careful. Don't let Chen see you wearing these clothes. Otherwise, you'll be at a huge loss."
Bai Ruoxue was both ashamed and angry. At this moment, she felt her whole body getting hot and tingly.
It felt like being completely naked, with Chen seeing everything. A strange sense of shame welled up inside me.
"you……"
"I'm going to the restroom."
Chen hurriedly offered an explanation.
Bai Ruoxue said in a low voice, "I'm a little thirsty, I'll get up and have some water."
Chen finally realized what was happening and quickly looked away.
"Um... well, I'm sorry to bother you while you were drinking water, I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, Chen turned around and hurriedly went back to his bedroom.
Bai Ruoxue stared blankly at this scene, and finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.
It turns out that someone was even more nervous than he was.
The longer I get to know Chen, the more I realize he's a very interesting man.
Bai Ruoxue didn't rush back. Instead, she took her water glass, sat on the sofa, and slowly finished the glass of water before getting up and going back to her room.
Worried about waking her younger sister, she didn't turn on the light. Instead, she tiptoed to the bedside, lifted the blanket, and quietly tucked herself inside.
"call."
Bai Ruoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sensing that her younger sister lying next to her was still asleep, Bai Ruoxue murmured softly.
"You've ruined me today. I said I wanted to wear it, but you insisted I wear it."
"This nightgown is so see-through, does he even know if he saw it or not?"
"Look at the look in his eyes just now, he was almost scared to death."
"They must have seen 깊."
Bai Ruoxue muttered a few words, then, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, lifted the blanket to cover her head.
At the same moment, there was a spot behind and next to her.
Chen, who had just lain down to rest...
Suddenly, I opened my eyes.
