"Yueyue, didn’t you cry because you remembered... that night?" Bai Jixuan asked Bai Meiyue who frowned and shook her head. Why would she suddenly cry because of that night? She might be eighteen years old this year, but she was an old soul.
She was already a mother, so why would she cry over something so silly? Lei Qian had treated her with respect and he had never done anything that could possibly scare her. So, her crying because she remembered that night was simply foolish.
When Bai Jixuan saw Bai Meiyue shake her head, he looked at his sister with a complicated look in his eyes. She didn’t cry because of that night, so why did she cry?
"Yueyue—"
"I am a bit tired, second brother." Bai Meiyue knew what her second brother wanted to ask her but she had no answer to his questions after all. What was she supposed to say to him? She couldn’t tell him the truth nor did she want to lie.
"Bai Meiyue, you—"
When Bai Meiyue heard Bai Jixuan raising his voice, she flinched. Seeing this, Bai Zhan pushed Bai Jixuan behind him and said to him, "Alright, there is no need to lose your temper with Yueyue." he then turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her, "You too, Yueyue. Don’t forget that we only want what’s right for you. We are not your enemies, so you can tell us what is bothering you."
Hearing the concern in the voice of her brother, Bai Meiyue’s eyes turned red. She nodded and hummed in response. She knew that Bai Zhan was only looking out for her. After all, as the eldest of the three siblings, he was used to taking care of her and Bai Jixuan.
"I will, brother."
Seeing that Bai Meiyue had agreed, Bai Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his sister was willing to trust him and Bai Jixuan, it was enough. He raised his hand and rubbed her head before turning around and walking out of the room.
"But—" Bai Jixuan raised his head, looking at his brother in confusion. However, before he could say anything, Bai Jixuan dragged him out of the room.
"Hey, I wanted to—"
What he wanted to do Bai Meiyue didn’t get a chance to find out, as her second brother was already pulled away by Bai Zhan.
She then turned to look at Lei Qian and remarked, "Why are you here?"
Shouldn’t he leave now that the matter was over?
"Why did you cry?"
"I think he was both wrong and right." fгeewebnovёl.com
