*Painting Soul (Evil Root)*

Author: Empty Gloves (Mountain Woodcutter)

Synopsis:

There's a legend in the martial arts world about a strange painting technique—the Painting Soul. Any woman painted
will step out of the painting and live as your spouse. Qi Xinyuan never believed this legend, but one
day, a mysterious old man found him and offered to teach him his lifelong secret technique of the Painting Soul…

The young master of traditional Chinese painting, Qi Xinyuan, only discovered after encountering his first love that he already had a
fifteen-year-old daughter living in the same city. A beautiful daughter became a new
member of Qi Xinyuan's family. From then on, numerous beautiful women and overwhelming love kept Qi Xinyuan busy...

Chapter 001: The Beauty Returns

In the northern part of the Weigongcun residential area in Haidian District, Beijing, stand two tombstones. One is inscribed with
"Tomb of Baishi of Xiangtan," and the other with "Tomb of Baozhu, the Second Wife." These two seemingly simple tombstones
bear witness to the love between Hu Baozhu and the master Qi Baishi. It is said that these twelve powerful characters
were written by Li Kuchan, a renowned contemporary calligrapher and painter and one of Qi Baishi's most accomplished students, which adds to their significance.
An east-west asphalt road separates these two tombstones from the noisy world, and the two tombstones are also
surrounded by low pine trees, creating a sense of seclusion, which at least offers some comfort to this art master who preferred quiet in his lifetime
. But no one knew that less than twenty meters to the west of Master Qi's tomb lay
a hidden grave, echoing it from afar. There were no pines or cypresses planted there, no
tombstone in sight, and no one knew who lay buried beneath it.

April in Beijing was still chilly; due to the sandstorm, the sun was overcast and not particularly
bright. Pedestrians on the streets dared not open their arms to embrace the biting spring breeze; even
the most fashionable young women wore thick, flesh-colored stockings under their pretty skirts to keep warm
.

The sky during the Qingming Festival was not clear, but rather somewhat gloomy, and the master's grave was exceptionally deserted, as if
people had long forgotten this master of traditional Chinese painting. Around nine o'clock in the morning,
a silver-gray BMW slowly pulled up along the south side of the asphalt road on the north side of the residential area .
A handsome man in his thirties, wearing a gray trench coat and sunglasses, stepped out. He was carrying a bouquet of carnations. He
walked in through the narrow doorway and stopped about twenty meters west of the White Stone Tomb. He looked around,
seemingly searching for a landmark. After standing still for a minute, having determined his position, he bent down,
placed the flowers in front of him with both hands, knelt down, clasped his hands together, and slowly closed his eyes. His thick, dark
eyebrows rose from between his black-rimmed glasses, revealing a hint of barely perceptible doubt in his expression…
This man had a full forehead and a bright brow; he was the kind of person generally considered talented by physiognomists. His
flowing, slightly curled hair perfectly matched his tall but not overly robust physique,
exuding a free and artistic air. He knelt and kowtowed three times, then rose and went to Master Qi's tombstone
to glance at the master's calligraphy, weathered by years of time, before turning and leaving.
Behind him, a long, clear trail of wide, dappled footprints of a playboy's leather shoes was left on the ground, frozen by the cold and softened by the spring breeze
.
"Xin Yuan!" When the man turned around, a graceful woman stood not far to the south. Qi Xin Yuan
was taken aback. "Bai Hua?"

"You haven't forgotten my name!" The woman named Bai Hua was also in her early thirties.
Beneath her cream-colored trench coat, a pair of high-top pointed boots concealed her fair legs. The trench coat was unbuttoned, slightly
flared to the sides, revealing her full breasts, which lifted the white sweater, creating an alluring silhouette. She
was naturally beautiful, with bright eyes and delicate eyebrows. With a touch of makeup, her teeth were even whiter and her lips redder, making
her appear incredibly delicate. In Qi Xin Yuan's eyes, apart from her eyes being slightly more mature than fifteen years ago, her figure and face
had hardly changed, even appearing more delicate.

"You...aren't you in America?" An emotion that had been dormant for many years suddenly rose from the depths of his heart,
and he felt a tightness in his throat as he spoke. Even at over thirty, she was still so agitated.
Qi Xinyuan deliberately controlled his emotions to avoid losing his composure.

"I...just got back!" The woman named Bai Hua was clearly also excited. Her eyes seemed to glisten
, and her voice trembled slightly, but it wasn't because of the weather. Bai Hua, having just stepped out of the car, wouldn't
have her trench coat penetrated by the chilly spring wind, especially since her thin sweater was
made of warm cashmere.

"Where do you live?" Qi Xinyuan slowly walked back. Bai Hua stepped forward, her left arm
bending under his armpit and naturally taking his arm. Her fingers were so slender, and her full, firm
breasts, with their nipples barely visible, pressed against Qi Xinyuan's arm, allowing him
to relive the unique gentleness she possessed fifteen years ago through the thin cashmere sweater. A fresh, feminine fragrance filled the air.
Based on his experience, Qi Xinyuan judged that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"Have you come to acknowledge your ancestors or to seek inspiration from the master?" Bai Hua couldn't shake her old
temper; her humor always concealed a sharp edge that left people wanting more. Qi Xinyuan's surname and his exceptional painting
talent often led his classmates at the Central Academy of Fine Arts to jokingly call him a direct descendant of Master Qi. But standing by his grandmother's grave, he
couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Qi Xinyuan even suspected that Bai Hua already knew that his
grandmother was buried beneath his feet. He quickly changed the subject: "What brings you here? Not here for inspiration too, is it?"
Qi Xinyuan used offense as defense to cover his embarrassment. He sensed that Bai Hua had come to see him, but
they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, and hadn't had any direct contact since. If he voiced his intuition, he was afraid that
seeing her here was just a coincidence, which would make him, Qi Xinyuan, seem like he was just being presumptuous.

"Feeling insecure now? I came all this way specifically to find you! What, did you get tormented by the minister's daughter
?" Bai Hua's tone held a hint of jealousy when she mentioned the minister's daughter.

"What nonsense! How...how did you know I was here?" Qi Xinyuan was confident; besides his sister
Qi Xinyu, no one knew this secret.

"Look, fifteen years ago I installed a GPS tracking system on you. No matter where you go, I
can find you!" Bai Hua tilted her handsome face up, playfully
drawing circles on Qi Xinyuan's chest with her slender fingers. Looking down from her pointed chin, Qi Xinyuan could see her
jade-like neck, which had been marked with countless kisses from him, and the faintly visible cleavage. He wanted to ask, "How are you?"
But then he remembered a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi and couldn't help but recite it softly: "Willow of Zhangtai, willow of Zhangtai
, are you still green as you were yesterday? Even if your long branches still droop as before, they will surely be broken by another's hand!"

After reciting it, Qi Xinyuan smiled bitterly. Perhaps Liu Yuxi's heart was filled with sadness and helplessness back then,
but now, when Qi Xinyuan recited it, it had a touch of cynicism. Recalling their
passionate love affair fifteen years ago, it was merely a small practice in his own love experiment, something that could only be considered
fleeting. Unexpectedly, the poem suddenly stirred Bai Hua's emotions. She turned to face
Qi Xinyuan, tears welling in her eyes, and said emotionally, "Xinyuan, in these fifteen
years, besides work and study, I've only done one thing!" Before she could finish, tears
involuntarily rolled down her cheeks. "I missed—you—!" Bai Hua said, each word distinct.

If they weren't at the master's grave, Qi Xinyuan would have embraced Bai Hua. Her delicate, tear-streaked beauty
instantly amplified his affection for her. However, in this situation, he could only gaze at
her tearful eyes with equal emotion: "I'm sorry, I always hurt you! Perhaps, the closest people are the easiest to hurt."
These words finally made Bai Hua stop holding his earlier cynicism against him. This wasn't because of Qi Xinyuan's apology, but
because Qi Xinyuan's words made Bai Hua feel that he still considered her his dearest woman
. For a woman, this is more important than anything else, especially since she wasn't short of money.

"Actually, what hurt me more wasn't this!" Bai Hua became even more agitated, her words leaving Qi Xinyuan somewhat
stunned. He stared at her blankly.

"I paid roaming fees for that old number in the US for three years, but I never received a single call from you!
Until that phone was lost! You're so heartless!" Bai Hua now spoke of it without any hint
of blame.

"You... are you really stupid? I thought you stopped using that number a long time ago!" Qi Xinyuan was deeply
shocked. He knew Bai Hua had been driven to America by her stubborn father, but he never expected that her
heart still belonged to him.

"I'm a bit foolish, foolish enough to willingly wait for an almost impossible outcome!" Her intuition told
her that Qi Xinyuan's heart still thought of her every day, but saying it aloud would make her seem
greedy.

"You haven't...?" Qi Xinyuan hesitated, not daring to approach the topic he had abandoned for so many years.

"Do you think my heart can still hold another man?" Bai Hua's tears were about to well up.

"I think of you every day too!" Qi Xinyuan's eyes also couldn't help but moisten. Bai Hua pressed her face against
Qi Xinyuan's trench coat, letting her happy tears wet his arm, "Xinyuan, can you hug me?"

Chapter 002 The Emerging Daughter

After the gates of Haidian District Fourth Middle School opened, the children poured out all at once. Because they were all wearing the same color and
style of school uniform, it was quite difficult to distinguish their own children. Qi Xinyuan and Bai Hua stood
about forty meters away from the school gate, occasionally recalling
the appearance of the sunny girl in the photo Bai Hua had shown him, searching for their target in the crowd.

A beautiful face came into Qi Xinyuan's view. The girl was slender, about 1.68 meters tall. The
blue spring/autumn school uniform was clearly a bit too big on her, but it couldn't hide her captivating
youthful energy. Her face wasn't a typical oval shape, but she was still a beauty. Her
long ponytail at the back of her head added a touch of mischief, and her well-proportioned figure would put even celebrities to shame. Her
thumbs were tucked into the back brace straps, and her already prominent breasts stood proudly between the straps
. Qi Xinyuan suddenly felt as if she were seeing Bai Hua from over a decade ago.

"Our daughter!" Qi Xinyuan was genuinely excited, and took two steps forward, only
to be forcefully pulled back by Bai Hua.

"Calm down! She doesn't recognize us!" Bai Hua had already come once yesterday afternoon,
secretly watching her from this spot, but hadn't had the courage to go up and say a word to her daughter.

Qi Xinyuan had never imagined he would have a daughter. When Bai Hua told him about it in the car
, he was somewhat skeptical, even suspecting that Bai Hua was trying to use their relationship as leverage to
rekindle their past romance. But now, standing with Bai Hua, searching the crowd for the figure in the photo
, he suddenly realized that he was firmly gripped by a sacred feeling called fatherhood. Especially
when that beautiful girl leaped out from among those innocent faces and caught his eye, walking towards him while
staring intently at him, his heart nearly leaped into his throat.

The closer the girl got to Qi Xinyuan, the more his heart ached; his gaze couldn't leave
the face of the girl who carried his blood. So close, yet unable to acknowledge each other—for the first time, Qi Xinyuan
felt what true pain was. Whether it was because Qi Xinyuan had been watching her the whole time, or some unseen
connection between father and daughter, the girl walked past Qi Xinyuan, occasionally turning back to look
at him. Qi Xinyuan almost called out her name. His tongue was already against the back of his upper teeth, and his
mouth was ready to utter the word "Sisi." But he swallowed it back, not because...
Bai Hua was pulling him back, but he didn't have the courage. Aside from the passionate
love he shared with Bai Hua that led to the birth of Si Si, he hadn't done anything for his daughter!
Just over an hour ago, he didn't even know that in this world, and in this very city, there
was a daughter named Qi Xinyuan!

Si Si was the name Bai Hua gave her. Although Bai Hua lived abroad, she
maintained close contact with the elderly couple who had adopted the child, and she bore all the child's expenses alone. But Si Si
knew nothing of this. Aside from the maternal love she couldn't give, Bai Hua had given her everything she could.

Qi Xinyuan's gaze followed his daughter as she turned the corner; she was going to catch the bus. Just as she turned the corner
, Si Si turned back and glanced at Qi Xinyuan.

"Why are you only telling me now?" Qi Xinyuan hadn't expected to lash out at Bai Hua so fiercely.
A little over an hour ago, when Bai Hua told him she had given birth to a daughter for the Qi family, Qi Xinyuan hadn't seemed
particularly excited. Now, as the two sat together in Qi Xinyuan's car, he could no longer control himself. He
slammed his hand on the steering wheel, accidentally honking the horn, startling a
young couple in front of him who were tightly embracing. They jumped apart, and the boy, about to lash out, saw that Qi
Xinyuan seemed even more furious than him, so he suppressed his anger.

"How can I burden you with a burden I myself didn't want to carry? Am I, Bai Hua, that kind of person?" Bai
Hua couldn't help but shed tears; she completely understood Qi Xinyuan's feelings at that moment.

"A burden? How could our own daughter become a burden?" Qi Xinyuan shouted at Bai Hua, his emotions running high
.

"You can say no now, but back then it was! Especially for you! You're the son of the head of an art department
, and the grandson of a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference! Did that kind of family background allow you to have an illegitimate daughter? You should
calm down!" After a moment of agitation, Bai Hua reached out and grasped Qi Xinyuan's hand. She
didn't resent Qi Xinyuan, because the situation at the time was beyond the control of a young man not yet twenty
. For a family where the mother was a national celebrity in the arts and the grandmother a leading figure in the arts,
reputation was more important than anything else.

"I'm sorry. I just feel I owe my daughter so much!" Qi Xinyuan couldn't help but wipe his face.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, only when deeply hurt. Now he wasn't sad for himself, but felt
guilty towards his daughter, Sisi. Such a good child hadn't received any parental love for over ten years; who knew
how many times she had been scorned by her classmates? Wasn't that too cruel for a child?
He could easily imagine how many times his daughter must have dreamed of nestling in her parents' arms
like other children, but for Sisi, this was an almost unattainable luxury. At this moment, even
if he were to give up all his material wealth, he wouldn't abandon this lovely daughter.

"What are your plans for coming back this time?" Qi Xinyuan asked, sniffling.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Didn't you come back for your daughter?" Now, Qi Xinyuan felt everything else was trivial; only
his daughter mattered. He was determined to give Sisi the same happy life as other children and
pave a bright future for her.

"Sisi isn't just my daughter; I wanted to hear your opinion!" Bai Hua gently
held Qi Xinyuan's large hand. Bai Hua's concern wasn't for Qi Xinyuan, but for his wife, the minister's
daughter, Xiao Rongrong. After all, Qi Xinyuan didn't live alone; he already had a ten-year-old daughter.

"You're worried about Xiao Rongrong, aren't you?" Qi Xinyuan immediately guessed Bai Hua's thoughts.

"It's not that I'm selfish, I'm just afraid our daughter isn't well-behaved enough..." Bai Hua didn't finish her sentence
, but Qi Xinyuan already understood.

"You're overthinking it. Xiao Rongrong isn't that kind of person. She'll treat our daughter well.
Besides, now that she's in such a privileged environment, I think Sisi will cherish it. So I'm
quite confident that our daughter can get along well with Xiao Rongrong!"

"Don't be so optimistic. I gave her away as soon as she was born and went to America alone. She
never even had a drop of my milk. You're in this city, yet you don't recognize her even if you meet her face to face. Of course, it's not
your fault, but Sisi doesn't know what's going on. She can't possibly see things from our perspective back then
. Do you think she can forgive us? I really don't know if she feels longing
or hatred towards us now!"

"A momentary resentment is inevitable, but it hasn't reached the point of hatred. After all, she's still
just a child. Don't think too much about it. What child doesn't want to live with their parents? She
hasn't seen her parents for fifteen or sixteen years. If she sees them again, wouldn't she be happy?"

"Sigh! I hope so! But I hope you'll talk to Xiao Rongrong first before going to see our daughter!"

Chapter 003: My Beloved Wife is the Minister's Daughter

Zhongguancun is Zhongguancun. Besides its high-tech industry, comparable to Silicon Valley in the US, its elites
naturally wouldn't forget to use their land to increase profits. Riding the wave of technology, the real estate market here
is booming day by day. For work convenience, Qi Xinyuan's parents were very farsighted and
bought three relatively high-end residences here. One for themselves, and the other two for the twins
. However, Qi Xinyuan ultimately paid his parents for the houses, because to him, each house
was worth only the value of three of his traditional Chinese paintings. Of course, that wasn't his most valuable possession. His paintings
were often given as valuable gifts to state guests.

Although located in China's technology center, Qi Xinyuan's house has a unique, rustic charm.
The simple courtyard is enclosed by a somewhat uneven bamboo fence, with several large-crowned trees scattered haphazardly throughout
. Even the main gate is made of wood. The only modern touch is the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Because
the gate is lower than the house, the house appears to be nestled among the trees, creating a spacious and bright atmosphere.
The floor-to-ceiling windows do not detract from the pastoral atmosphere. At night, streetlights
dapple the walls and windows through the branches, while the house's light spills through the soft, pale yellow curtains
, creating a warm and inviting ambiance for passersby.

The house's owner is Xiao Rongrong. This minister's daughter isn't
famous solely because of her father's power; she was a campus beauty at Peking University. Qi Xinyuan's father, Qi Liguo, and the
minister, Xiao Ke, were close old comrades-in-arms, and both wanted their friendship to continue in the next generation,
so they addressed each other as in-laws from a young age. Xiao Rongrong had long considered Qi Xinyuan her
Prince Charming. Despite having countless suitors in university, she always ignored them, but
remained devoted to the talented Qi Xinyuan. If Qi Xinyuan and Bai Hua, who were also studying art at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, hadn't been caught
in an affair, Xiao Rongrong wouldn't have been so eager to give her virginity to Qi Xinyuan. She had originally planned to
deflower him on their wedding night, but Bai Hua's sudden appearance immediately made Xiao Rongrong feel threatened. While her
family worried about Rongrong, she secretly made an important decision—to win Qi Xinyuan
's heart, she first had to win his body! Eighteen-year-old Xiao Rongrong finally lowered her
last line of defense during their date, letting him in. She believed that the main reason Bai Hua succeeded was because she
hadn't taken over Qi Xinyuan's territory in time, allowing someone else to take advantage of the situation. Sitting on the sofa now is ten-year-old Xin Yao, her daughter. She's quietly watching TV,

clutching a teddy bear . The little girl has a long ponytail, all her hair pulled back tightly, revealing her clear forehead and making her even more beautiful. She undoubtedly inherited all the best features from her mother, Xiao Rongrong, and father, Qi Xinyuan, making her a model of eugenics. Her eyes are so innocent and bright, and her full, round face, with a slight dimple in the middle of her chin, makes her even more endearing. Xiao Rongrong is taking a shower in the bathroom. Her period just ended today, and she's eager to wash herself. She always seizes every opportunity to let Qi Xinyuan experience the happiness of being a man through her . 　　"Xin Yao, let's go upstairs to sleep?" Qi Xinyuan strokes his daughter's head, his expression somewhat strange. He can't help but imagine what his daughter with Bai Hua, Si Si, looked like when she was little. He even wondered what kind of house his daughter Sisi lived in, what kind of food she ate, and whether her adoptive parents would treat her the way he treated Xinyao. 　　Xinyao was a very well-behaved girl; as long as her father told her to go to sleep, she wouldn't stay on the most interesting TV programs. Xinyao put the teddy bear aside, hugged Qi Xinyuan's neck, kissed him on the cheek, slipped on her slippers, and went upstairs to sleep. After hearing his daughter Xinyao close the door, Qi Xinyuan got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom. Pushing open the door, a burst of hot air rushed out. Xiao Rongrong's beautiful body was enveloped in the thick steam, her long hair cascading down her chest, partially obscuring her two firm breasts. Her slender figure was full yet graceful, and her face was flushed from the hot water. Her wide, long eyes were slightly upturned beneath her slender eyebrows; though not phoenix eyes, they were still very captivating. 　　"I haven't finished showering yet, what are you doing in here?" Xiao Rongrong said coquettishly, her hands still rubbing her body . Qi Xinyuan walked over and pulled Xiao Rongrong into his arms, grinning mischievously, "I want to take a bath with you !" 　　"Get lost! Xinyao is still in the living room, she's a little devil!" Xiao Rongrong giggled and gently pushed Qi Xinyuan away, feeling his hard desire. 　　"She's already gone upstairs to sleep!" Qi Xinyuan still clung to Xiao Rongrong's naked body. 　　"That won't do, you're trying to fool me!" Xiao Rongrong pushed away the somewhat shameless Qi Xinyuan, "Go wait in bed!" 　　"Then you'd better hurry up!" Qi Xinyuan wanted more than just her body; he also had something important to discuss with her. Qi Xinyuan had learned his lesson in recent years. He knew that dealing with officials required a dinner party , but dealing with his wife required the bedroom! Xiao Rongrong's ecstatic state beneath him repeatedly fueled his sense of accomplishment. Qi Xinyuan quickly dried himself off and returned to bed to wait . He knew Xiao Rongrong wouldn't keep him waiting long; in this respect, her patience was far inferior to his . 　　Qi Xinyuan only turned on the bedside lamp, casting a dim yellow light on the room. He lay quietly, pondering the best opportunity. Qi Xinyuan should be content. Not only had he married the most beautiful girl from Peking University, but she was also the daughter of a minister, and especially so virtuous. Since their marriage, Xiao Rongrong had almost always gone along with him, even enjoying being at his beck and call during sex. Despite this, he still worried that they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement regarding their daughter, Sisi. Just then, Xiao Rongrong, wrapped in a bath towel, opened the bathroom door and came out. Her wet hair, still damp from being dried, draped over her shoulders, looking even blacker and shinier, as if coated with moisturizing mousse. The bath towel was loosely tied around her breasts, revealing her two jade-like peaks, forming a deep cleavage. This figure was the result of a price Xiao Rongrong had paid. Years ago, to maintain her figure and keep her breasts as firm as when she was a young girl, she had stopped having sex with her daughter after she had only been breastfeeding for four months. In her heart, Qi Xin was far more important than her daughter. 　　"Is Xin Yao really asleep?" Although they had been married for many years, Xiao Rongrong still felt a little shy whenever she made a move. She worried that her husband would see her as a lustful woman, when in fact, half of her desire was for her own, and the other half was to satisfy Qi Xin. 　　"I heard her close the door, how could she come down if she wasn't asleep?" Qi Xinyuan hurriedly went to hug his wife, who exuded the fresh scent of high-end shower gel. 　　"Go up and check on her, don't let her small size fool you, she's got a real charmer!" Xiao Rongrong was so worried about her daughter not sleeping because she always had to writhe and moan to her heart's content. She wanted to satisfy her husband but didn't want to ruin her saintly image in front of her daughter . Qi Xinyuan was forced by Xiao Rongrong to go upstairs. He gently pushed his daughter away...

The door was closed, the light was off, it seemed Xin Yao was already asleep, so he tiptoed back. Xiao Rongrong
was already lying under the thin blanket.

"You made me run all this way for nothing, look at you, all wilted!" Qi Xinyuan said with a hint of complaint. Xiao Rongrong, however, didn't
seem to care at all, saying, "I'm here, even if you're soft, I'll make you hard!" She pressed her body against him, wrapped her arms around Qi
Xinyuan's neck, and said softly, "You're not at ease if you don't go up and check on me!" As she spoke, she reached down and
started kneading.

"Tell me, baby, I haven't been able to get around to my period these past few days. Have you been seeing any other girls?" Xiao
Rongrong asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously. She knew that Qi Xinyuan had several female students, and they weren't exactly
beautiful. It wasn't that Xiao Rongrong lacked confidence, but rather that girls these days were too open, readily throwing themselves into
their teachers' arms. Once bitten, twice shy. Back then, Bai Hua almost snatched Qi Xinyuan away from her
, and they ended up drawing pictures together! Besides, Xiao Rongrong had already heard the rumors circulating about them a few times
. To her friend's advice, Xiao Rongrong could only offer a faint smile. She explained, "He
often teaches nude sketching to students, and he also does body painting for them, mostly girls, I know that."

"My heart is only for you, my darling, why would I look for another girl!"

"That girl who modeled for you the other day was quite nice, didn't you have any feelings for her?" That
day, Xiao Rongrong went to Qi Xinyuan's small studio to find him. He was leading several students in oil painting sketching, and in the middle
sat a very beautiful girl, completely naked. Her firm breasts and graceful curves
made Xiao Rongrong's heart flutter. Fortunately, there weren't any boys in the painting class that day, otherwise Xiao
Rongrong would have been mortified. But for Qi Xinyuan, who had been engaged in painting for many years, that kind of situation was just
commonplace.

"Hehe, back home, there are plenty of female models you haven't seen yet.
Do you think I'd fall in love with every single one I see? Besides, when have I ever been idle around you? Do you think I'm Buddha, saving all sentient beings? I do
n't have that much energy!"

Hearing Qi Xinyuan's words, Xiao Rongrong felt somewhat comforted. Indeed, whenever
Rongrong had a request, Qi Xinyuan would always fulfill it and give her a satisfactory answer, never being
careless. Taking advantage of Qi Xinyuan's words, Xiao Rongrong pulled him onto her body. Her slender
fingers, like Ru ware porcelain, caressed Qi Xinyuan's body as she said seductively, "Come on, let me check you out, see if you
're deficient!"

"How could I be? I'm still full!" At this moment, Xiao Rongrong's hand rekindled
the passion she had shared with Bai Hua in the car that morning. Before Xiao Rongrong could do anything, Qi Xinyuan took the initiative and began to attack. Xiao Rongrong
hugged Qi Xinyuan tightly with great happiness, exclaiming, "You're truly my good husband!"

Chapter 004: Being the Mother of a Rival's Daughter

After a storm of passion, Xiao Rongrong lay contentedly in Qi Xinyuan's arms, resting her head on his
strong, though not rugged, arm. She lifted her flushed face and asked Qi Xinyuan, "Was today enjoyable?" Qi Xinyuan
smoothed her slightly disheveled long hair, making her face more clearly visible, and
kissed her beautiful nose with satisfaction, saying, "It was incredibly enjoyable!" The positive feedback made Xiao Rongrong very proud.
She turned to her side, pressing her face and body against Qi Xinyuan's, and placed one leg
between his legs, softly saying, "Wait here, I'll go downstairs and get you something to eat." This had almost become Xiao Rongrong's regular
routine. After each encounter, she would proactively cook nourishing meals for Qi Xinyuan.
On one hand, she used his stamina and passion during their intense sexual activity to check if he
had been unfaithful and had damaged his health. On the other hand, she worried that the excessive intensity might be too much for him
. Therefore, she treated Qi Xinyuan like a tree, constantly uprooting him
to check his growth before replanting him, fertilizing and watering him – a very arduous task.
But she never tired of it.

"Don't bother today, I just ate, I really can't eat anymore!" Qi Xinyuan pulled
Xiao Rongrong, who was about to put on her pajamas to prepare the nourishing food, into his arms again.

"It's not about being hungry or not. You can't eat when you're hungry or drink when you're thirsty, you know
?" Xiao Rongrong said, gently stroking Qi Xinyuan's nose with her slender fingers.

"I really can't eat anymore, I... I have something to tell you!" Qi Xinyuan mustered his courage, because
this was different from anything else; it was something Xiao Rongrong had been most taboo about for years, and Qi Xinyuan was genuinely hesitant
.

"What, do you need something from me?" Xiao Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up. Seeing Qi Xinyuan's hesitant
expression, Xiao Rongrong already sensed that what Qi Xinyuan wanted this time was extraordinary. Since they
had slept in the same bed, and Xinyao was already so grown up, Qi Xinyuan had never asked Xiao Rongrong for anything, not even their intimate moments;
it was always Xiao Rongrong who begged him. How Xiao Rongrong longed for a chance for Qi Xinyuan
to ask her for something! Sometimes, Xiao Rongrong had questioned her own conscience. If Qi
Xinyuan had begged her to let him go, to let him sleep with another girl, she would have agreed. But
after all these years, Qi Xinyuan had never asked her once, not even for something big or small. This made Xiao Rongrong feel
like a failure. If Qi Xinyuan had asked her, it would have meant she was still valuable to him,
but she had only been disappointed year after year. Today, she had finally gotten her wish. How could she not be excited?

Xiao Rongrong pressed her index finger to Qi Xinyuan's lips and said tenderly, "Xinyuan, today you can
ask for anything, and Rongrong will agree to it!" She was certain that Qi Xinyuan wouldn't betray her; she
had considerable confidence in their relationship. The only reason she was worried about Qi Xinyuan was because she knew
her husband was too charming, and the young girls these days were too shameless. Besides, she knew Qi Xinyuan
wasn't one to resist temptation! A smug Xiao Rongrong leaned against Qi Xinyuan's chest, her slender
arms slipping under his armpits, her face rubbing against his. This didn't seem like Qi Xinyuan making a request.
It was as if she needed something from Qi Xinyuan.

"Maybe we should just forget it!" Qi Xinyuan suddenly stopped, not because he wanted to linger, but because
Xiao Rongrong had agreed so readily and was in such a good mood; he didn't want to upset his wife.

"What's wrong! I said I'd agree, why are you taking it back? Have you taken a fancy to some
romantic girl again?" Although Xiao Rongrong had secretly resolved that even
if Qi Xinyuan took a fancy to another girl and wanted to sleep with her, she would agree as long as he asked, she clearly
sensed that it wasn't that kind of thing now. But what could be making Qi Xinyuan so hesitant to speak to her
?

Qi Xinyuan found it difficult to answer Xiao Rongrong's joking question. Although it wasn't about taking a fancy
to another girl, it stemmed from an extramarital affair, and it had even come to fruition!

"No, I'm sorry, Rongrong, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's sleep!"

"No, if you don't tell me, neither of us can sleep tonight!" Xiao Rongrong angrily
sat up from Qi Xinyuan's lap. Qi Xinyuan wrapped the blanket around her, but Xiao Rongrong swayed, and the blanket
was thrown off, her two jade breasts swinging along with it.

Qi Xinyuan sat up as well: "I... I can't tell you about this!"

Seeing that Qi Xinyuan was finally softening, Xiao Rongrong perked up again. She nestled into Qi Xinyuan's arms,
even more gently than before: "Xinyuan, we've been married for so many years, have I ever stopped you from doing anything?
Why do you still look at me like that? Ever since what happened between you and Bai Hua, I feel like you've... drifted away from me! You're
no longer the Xinyuan I used to know!" Xiao Rongrong wasn't lying. Ever since the affair between Bai Hua and him spread

throughout the two universities and even beyond , Qi Xinyuan had always felt guilty towards Xiao Rongrong. He loved her very much, but he just couldn't get rid of Bai Hua from his heart. Both women were practically his first love, and he could only let each woman occupy half of his heart. 　　"I love you, Rongrong. But..." Qi Xinyuan hesitated, which made Xiao Rongrong even more anxious. 　　"Didn't I tell you? Just say what you want to say, I'm not refusing!" 　　"I want... to bring my daughter over." Qi Xinyuan finally mustered the courage to speak his mind. He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. 　　"Isn't our daughter at home? You..." Xiao Rongrong immediately realized that the daughter Qi Xinyuan was referring to wasn't Xin Yao. 　　"I mean Sisi." Qi Xinyuan said hesitantly. 　　"Who's Sisi?" Xiao Rongrong's anger flared immediately. Although Qi Xinyuan had given her ample mental preparation, she was still somewhat surprised. 　　"Bai Hua's." Qi Xinyuan's voice was soft. 　　"What? You... you already have a daughter? And now she's brought your child back from America? She... isn't she going to stop?" Xiao Rongrong was clearly furious, and her voice rose involuntarily. 　　"Be quiet! Xinyao is asleep!" Qi Xinyuan paused and continued, "Sisi has always lived in this city, raised by an elderly couple." Qi Xinyuan tried his best to appeal to Xiao Rongrong's feelings about Sisi's current situation. 　　"You sent her away?" Xiao Rongrong got up from Qi Xinyuan, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes. She had never been so angry before. She had always maintained this family with warmth and affection. She loved her daughter and her husband, and she didn't want anyone to disturb her warm home. But today, she felt that her daughter, Bai Hua, was no longer tolerable. 　　"I only found out today. I had no idea about this at all. I ran into Bai Hua today; she just came back from America." 　　"Did you go to see that child together today?" Xiao Rongrong wiped away her tears, her voice regaining its calmness. But her heart was still pounding. 　　"But... I haven't dared to let Sisi know yet. I don't even know if she acknowledges me as her father!" Qi Xinyuan deliberately omitted the word "we," not wanting to provoke her further. 　　Xiao Rongrong suddenly felt sorry for Qi Xinyuan, who didn't even dare to acknowledge his own daughter. They had lived in the same city for over ten years, yet they were like strangers. 　　"She should be in middle school by now, right?" Xiao Rongrong calculated the timeline of Qi Xinyuan's relationship with Bai Hua. 　　"She's already in her final year of middle school." Qi Xinyuan felt a sense of comfort and pride, perhaps because Xiao Rongrong 's tone had softened, or perhaps because he realized his daughter was already fifteen. This suddenly appearing daughter seemed to have given him many surprises. 　　"Then... does she know who her biological parents are?" Xiao Rongrong's mind began to make new plans . 　　"No, she hasn't even met them." 　　Today's events seemed to be exactly what Xiao Rongrong had been fearing and anticipating for years. She always felt that her relationship with that woman named Bai Hua wasn't over yet, and that something else would happen. Today it finally happened, and she felt relieved. 　　"I agree to bring you and Bai Hua's daughter over!" Xiao Rongrong said calmly. Although Qi Xinyuan had boasted to Bai Hua that he could persuade Xiao Rongrong, he never expected her to change her mind so readily. 　　"You...you're not just saying this out of anger, are you?" Qi Xinyuan asked, somewhat incredulous. 　　"Do I look like I'm saying this out of anger? However, I have one condition!" 　　Chapter 005 Peeping 　　Hearing that Xiao Rongrong had agreed to bring his and Bai Hua's daughter, Sisi, home was a great comfort to Qi Xinyuan. He hadn't misjudged her; Xiao Rongrong was definitely not the kind of narrow-minded woman. Although he could sense that Xiao Rongrong was jealous of Bai Hua, who was not around and had almost disappeared, this was perfectly normal; what woman doesn't get jealous? However, the fact that she had set a condition for him left Qi Xinyuan completely bewildered, because he knew that Xiao Rongrong was not a...

A person in distress wouldn't kick someone when they're down. So he said frankly, "What are
your conditions? You won't ask me to do it twice in one night, will you?" Seeing that Rongrong's expression wasn't bad, Qi Xinyuan
started acting obedient in front of her again.

"I'm talking to you about serious matters! She can come, but she has to call me 'Mom,' and make her think she's our daughter!"

"This..." Although it was just a matter of a sentence, Qi Xinyuan felt that it was too unfair to Bai Hua
. "Will Bai Hua agree?"

"I only have this one condition. Whether you can persuade Bai Hua is your business. I'm not being unreasonable, am I
?" Xiao Rongrong asked, looking at Qi Xinyuan's face. Qi Xinyuan thought to himself, you've already taken someone else's daughter away
, and you say it's not unreasonable! But Xiao Rongrong had already done enough, after all, Sisi wasn't
her biological daughter.

"You...don't you already have a daughter?" Qi Xinyuan meant that he should offer Bai Hua some comfort;
otherwise, it would be like snatching her daughter away from her.

"What? You feel sorry for her?" Xiao Rongrong continued to observe Qi Xinyuan's expression.

"No, I'm just...thinking about Sisi!"

"I'm thinking about Sisi too. Since she doesn't know who her biological mother is, why can't I be her biological mother? Did you bring the child here just so she could see that I separated
her biological father and mother? I don't want to be a third party in Sisi's eyes. The real third party is Bai Hua, not me, Xiao Rongrong!" 　　She said it was for Sisi, but Qi Xinyuan could tell that her words were ultimately for her own benefit, yet it was undeniable . 　　"Nobody called you a third party. That happened years ago, why bring it up again?" 　　"Besides, isn't it good that I gave Sisi a complete family? If Sisi were to acknowledge Bai Hua, could she do that? She must have known long ago that the elderly couple weren't her biological parents. How could she not miss her biological parents? If it were me, I definitely would." 　　"Aren't you afraid...she'll hate you?" Qi Xinyuan suddenly thought of this. 　　"Are you talking about Bai Hua or Sisi? If it's Bai Hua, then I don't care. But if it's Sisi, what about you? If she believes we're her biological parents, then we'll both have to face this problem . Damn it, I've been made to take the blame for her again! Who do I owe this to?" Xiao Rongrong couldn't help but shed tears of grievance. 　　“Kind people always suffer some injustices. You don’t owe anyone anything, I owe you!” Qi Xinyuan embraced Xiao Rongrong’s smooth body, comforting her with caresses and gently kissing the corner of her eye. He knew very well that Xiao Rongrong’s ability to tolerate Sisi and willingly take the blame for Bai Hua’s abandonment was enough to prove that she loved him. She did all this entirely for Qi Xinyuan. “Thank you!” Qi Xinyuan said excitedly. 　　“For you, I’m willing! As long as you don’t go back to that woman!” Xiao Rongrong finally spoke her heart. 　　“I love you for ten thousand years, plus one more hour!” 　　“Get lost!” The two rolled around on the bed again. 　　… 　　In the morning, Xiao Rongrong got up early, saying she was going out to buy breakfast. But she went to a small toy store and stood there until eight o’clock before they opened. 　　“Do you have binoculars here?” Xiao Rongrong asked. 　　"Yes." 　　"I'll buy one for my child!" She pointed to a smaller one in the window. "Let me see this one." She waited anxiously for the shop owner to slowly take it out of the window. 　　Xiao Rongrong held the binoculars to her eyes and looked outside. The vision was a bit blurry. 　　"I can't see this one clearly. Do you have any better ones?" 　　"Here! This one, but it's a bit expensive!" the shop owner said. 　　Xiao Rongrong grabbed it, tried it again, and was very satisfied. 　　"How much?" 　　"One hundred and ninety-eight!" 　　Xiao Rongrong took out about two hundred yuan, threw it on the counter, picked up the binoculars, and ran. 　　"Here's your change!" the shop owner shouted from inside. 　　"Keep the change!" Xiao Rongrong hurriedly turned and rushed back, worried that Qi Xinyuan would skip dinner to see Bai Hua. 　　The shopkeeper, still uneasy, picked up the two hundred-yuan bills and examined them carefully for a while, muttering, "Strange woman!" 　　... 　　"Xiao Rongrong is really something else, I have to admire her! Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a living saint, giving Sisi a complete family. Actually, I saw through it long ago, she's just afraid I'll take you away from her! Am I right?" Sitting in Qi Xinyuan's car, after a frenzy, Qi Xinyuan told Bai Hua about the result of his discussion with Xiao Rongrong. Bai Hua was an extremely perceptive woman, and she immediately understood Xiao Rongrong's true intentions. 　　"I don't deny that she has ulterior motives in this regard, it's just that you're always so attractive to men!" Qi Xinyuan always wanted to find something to reduce Bai Hua's hostility towards Xiao Rongrong. Now, in his opinion, Xiao Rongrong's approach might be the only feasible one, and he had to get Bai Hua to accept this condition, even though it was a bit harsh for her. 　　"Sigh, what can I do? I owe people, I owe my daughter, I owe Xiao Rongrong, and don't you know I owe you too?" Bai Hua turned her face away dejectedly, tears welling in her eyes. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, saying, "She's my own daughter, but she can't call me 'Mom,' she has to acknowledge my rival as her mother!" She bit her lip, forcing back her tears. 　　"One day, I'll make her acknowledge you!" Qi Xinyuan said confidently. 　　"You won't wait until I'm dead to say that at my grave, will you?" Bai Hua used her unique humor to release her inner bitterness. She seemed to still feel the pain of giving birth to Sisi. "However, I regret giving birth to Sisi even more now. At least, she makes others more afraid of me! I've added an important bargaining chip to my position!"

"Even without Sisi, I will still love you!" Qi Xinyuan said sincerely. She
was so captivating back in college, and now, she seemed even more irresistible to him. Her voluptuousness, her persistence, her
wisdom—these were qualities unmatched by most women. She was so alluring to men, yet so
steadfast in her love. Qi Xinyuan held her tightly, breathing in her breath, his blood rushing to his head again.
His lips slowly pressed against her red lips, Bai Hua's flowing black breasts trembling behind him.

Xiao Rongrong had been following Qi Xinyuan, but she was stopped by a red light. It took her a lot of
effort to finally spot Qi Xinyuan's car. At this moment, Xiao Rongrong was sitting in a car some distance away,
observing Qi Xinyuan's car through binoculars. When she saw Qi Xinyuan's lips approach Bai Hua's face
, she almost held her breath. Once Qi Xinyuan's lips were pressed against Bai Hua's and wouldn't separate, Xiao Rongrong
angrily took off the binoculars and turned her face away. But she couldn't resist looking, so she put the
two-hundred-yuan binoculars back up to her eyes. Qi Xinyuan's lips slid from Bai Hua's neck to her slender
neck, and a large hand was kneading her full breasts.

Xiao Rongrong gritted her teeth in anger. Luckily, she hadn't seen the beginning, or she would have been furious
!

"Qi Xinyuan! You heartless bastard!" Xiao Rongrong cursed from the car, throwing the
binoculars aside and refusing to look at the infuriating scene. But she couldn't control herself; her eyes
still drifted towards Qi Xinyuan's car. She saw Bai Hua emerge from the car, the gentle spring breeze
ruffling her beautiful hair. Even from afar, Xiao Rongrong could sense the captivating charm this woman possessed
. Her heart leaped again. She was now somewhat glad she had recognized Sisi, her rival's daughter; otherwise
, this woman would surely have snatched Qi Xinyuan away from her! She had to admit from the bottom of her heart that if it
were a one-on-one fight, she was no match for this woman!

Chapter 006 First Encounter

After seeing Bai Hua get into her car, Xiao Rongrong drove to her workplace—the district environmental protection department.
She was now the director of the department, and her car was, of course, the department's vehicle. This beautiful department head usually
arrived and left work on time, but her unusually late arrival today sparked speculation among her employees, who began giving
her strange looks. This made her uncomfortable, but she pretended everything was fine, trying to
project confidence and a smile. Before she could even settle into her seat, her secretary entered and said, "Department Head, a
lady outside is looking for you. She says she's your friend."

"Let her in!" Xiao Rongrong seemed to have a premonition about who this woman claiming to be her friend was. She
straightened her appearance, sat up straight in her executive chair, and waited for the woman to enter. The secretary left briefly
and then returned, pushing open the door. Entering was Bai Hua, the very woman she had just met with her husband, Qi Xinyuan, and who had been seen kissing
and hugging in the car. Her recently calmed emotions surged again, but she immediately reminded herself
to remain calm. She mentally told herself to pretend she hadn't seen anything, and besides, they already had a child
; what difference did a kiss make?

"Please come in!" Xiao Rongrong couldn't believe how calm she had suddenly become
, even displaying a touch of enthusiasm for a guest. She calmly looked at her beautiful rival,
suddenly no longer so afraid.

After the secretary closed the door and left, Xiao Rongrong gave a strange laugh and said, "Sit down!" She
felt quite good about herself, considering herself a rather elegant woman, especially in this situation.

Seeing Xiao Rongrong's attitude, Bai Hua felt as if she already knew her, but according to her recollection,
the two had never met before or after the incident.

"Let me introduce myself..." Bai Hua said with a smile as she sat down on the sofa. Her
trench coat was already unbuttoned; she was a woman who liked to show off her personality. A light blue cashmere sweater peeked out from under the trench coat
, revealing that she was a very voluptuous woman with a slender figure and fair skin—clearly
not the effect of makeup, but natural beauty.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Sisi's mother, right?" Xiao Rongrong stood up from her chair and
poured Bai Hua a glass of water. She deliberately avoided mentioning Bai Hua's name, wanting to remind her that her tolerance and generosity
were entirely for the sake of the child. If it weren't for their equally good figures, Xiao Rongrong wouldn't have dared to stand up in front of such a woman
.

"In that case, I don't need to introduce you! Hehe." Bai Hua was also seeing this
woman for the first time, the one who had taken her beloved first love from her. To her surprise, she really hadn't expected Qi Xinyuan to marry such
a beautiful heiress. When Xiao Rongrong turned back to her seat, displaying her
status as the hostess, Bai Hua naturally saw Xiao Rongrong's full and rounded, alluring buttocks under the thin woolen coat.
She finally understood how Qi Xinyuan, this charming and talented man who didn't care about social status, had fallen for Xiao Rongrong
. Xiao Rongrong was dressed impeccably in a suit, the small lapels of her jacket neither revealing nor concealing anything, but
her ample bosom was something most women her age could not possess. Based on individual attributes alone, Bai Hua felt
she could match her, but considering Xiao Rongrong's extraordinary family background, Bai Hua felt inferior.
The arrogance on Xiao Rongrong's face was a direct result of her privileged upbringing, without a trace of deliberate
affectation. In comparison, Bai Hua felt inferior.

"Xin Yuan has already told me, I don't know if he's told you what I meant?" Xiao Rongrong's composure
surprised Bai Hua even more. She could tell that Xiao Rongrong wasn't the petty type.
She wouldn't use an innocent child as a tool for revenge, especially since Xiao Rongrong was currently
in control; Xiao Rongrong was the defender, and she was the attacker!

"I agree!" Bai Hua readily agreed, trying to show her confidence. "However,
I have a condition." That's just Bai Hua's temperament; even when asking for help, she would never speak softly or gently, her expression
remaining as cold as ever.

“Go on,” Xiao Rongrong said, feeling as if she were listening to a subordinate’s report. A sense of
superiority welled up inside her, but she didn’t show it; after all, she wasn’t a shallow woman.

“I need to be able to see my daughter anytime!” Bai Hua’s tone was firm and unyielding.

“Sure!” Xiao Rongrong’s quick reply surprised Bai Hua even more. She had thought Xiao Rongrong would make some more
difficult demands. “If this is your only request, my door is always open for you,
even when I’m not home.”

“Why are you doing this to me?” Bai Hua didn’t want to express her gratitude; she hadn’t fully figured out
what Xiao Rongrong was up to.

“Because I love Qi Xinyuan, I don’t deny the feelings between you two,” she smiled bitterly. “Do you
think we women have a better way to stop our men from having feelings for another woman?”

These words made Bai Hua mentally switch places with Xiao Rongrong. If she, Bai Hua,
had married Qi Xinyuan, she believed Xiao Rongrong would have been an insurmountable rival. Suddenly
, Bai Hua seemed to understand many things, and a sense of clarity washed over her. She felt that this seemingly
docile Xiao Rongrong possessed the mind of a philosopher; it seemed her title as the most beautiful girl at Peking University was well-
deserved. A woman’s mere beauty isn’t scary; what’s scary is when she has a compelling mind behind her beauty.
Bai Hua suddenly remembered a saying—“The highest good is like water, the softest thing is the strongest.” This saying
perfectly described the woman before her.

Xiao Rongrong didn't stop her speech. Twirling a pen in her hand, she continued, "We
're both women, it's easier for us to communicate. I never expect Xinyuan to erase you from his heart; I know
he can't. But as long as you don't embarrass me, I won't get angry. Also, please rest assured, Sisi is like my daughter
; I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance. Since I love Xinyuan, I will love his child too!"

Bai Hua, who had been on guard and even waiting for Xiao Rongrong to erupt in anger, suddenly felt she had been too tense
. A duel between masters seemed to require no guns, not even the slightest hint of gunpowder.
She was almost moved by this woman, her eyes welling up with tears. Not wanting to hide it, she took out
a tissue from her bag and shyly wiped away the tears. After more than ten years of ups and downs, this was the first time she had been moved by someone,
especially by her rival in love. What was wrong with her today? She laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I wonder what kind of relationship would be most appropriate for me to meet my daughter?" Bai Hua's
tone was entirely consultative, as if they had never been enemies but rather close friends.

"Aren't you Xin Yuan's classmate?" Xiao Rongrong's quick reply suggested it was pre-arranged for Bai Hua.

"Oh—" Bai Hua seemed to have completely forgotten her relationship with Qi Xin Yuan; for years,
the only thing she remembered was their romantic relationship! "I'm sorry, I may have hurt you before
, but I hope it won't affect your child." Bai Hua's "before" naturally included
the passionate encounter with Qi Xin Yuan in the car just now. Her sincerity was undeniable, as she wanted to
exchange Xiao Rongrong's care for Si Si for care for Xiao Rongrong's daughter.

"It's okay, we've never argued in front of the child, she doesn't know anything about it." In fact,
Xiao Rongrong and Qi Xin Yuan had never argued in front of their child, nor had they ever quarreled behind her back.
A single glance was enough for the two to understand each other's feelings.

"Here, this is the child's address. When I pick her up, I... can't show my face. I know the child
's resentment towards her birth mother might be directed at you. I think you must have already considered this. And I, the real mother,
will have to live in anonymity!" Bai Hua's words were tinged with sadness.

"You haven't met Xin Yuan yet, have you?" Xiao Rongrong asked tentatively.

Bai Hua's face flushed slightly. She avoided answering directly, but smiled and said, "I think it's best for you!" She neither
said she had met him nor denied it. She felt that saying she had would hurt Xiao Rongrong's feelings, which would be
too much of a lie; but saying she hadn't met him, she couldn't bear to lie to her.

When Bai Hua came out of the director's office, Xiao Rongrong made a point of shaking her hand.
She wanted her subordinates to see that this woman was her friend, not her rival. This wasn't entirely
because she felt guilty. Everyone in the Environmental Protection Department knew that Director Xiao had a very accomplished painter husband. If
a beautiful woman suddenly appeared, people would generally assume that was the reason. Some with vivid imaginations might even
think that Director Xiao had gotten into some trouble outside, causing his wife to come knocking on their door. Therefore, Xiao
Rongrong had to put on a show.

Chapter 007 Daughter Sisi Qi

Xinyuan's car turned through several alleys before finally finding the address on Bai Hua's note. It was called
an alley because the street was very narrow; if there was another car in front, it would have to turn back, otherwise
no one could pass. The buildings in this area were undoubtedly from the 1980s. Slogans on the walls were still
faintly visible, mottled and worn. At first glance, the row of buildings looked like children who hadn't washed their faces after coming out of a lime kiln
.

"Is this it?" Xiao Rongrong leaned closer, somewhat disbelieving, and carefully examined
the note in Qi Xinyuan's hand. The strong, vigorous cursive script was Bai Hua's handwriting, but the characters were clear. This was the first floor, and
there was a courtyard with several flowering trees that hadn't yet sprouted buds, visible through the courtyard wall. One of them was a magnolia,
which Bai Hua had told him about.

"Yes, this is it!"

"You've been here before?" After asking, Xiao Rongrong felt she had asked too many questions
. She turned her face away, no longer waiting for Qi Xinyuan's answer. Qi Xinyuan checked the doorplate again, and after confirming it was correct, decisively rang the doorbell.

After a series of cheerful footsteps, a crisp "Coming!" followed, and then the door opened. It was Sisi.
She was wearing a completely different plaid dress from that day, with snow-white cotton socks encasing her slender legs,
and a beautiful bow tied around her neck. Her pert breasts proved her well-developed figure. Her face was like...
Seeing Qi Xinyuan standing before her, she was somewhat surprised. His flowing long hair and
distinctive eyes had left a deep impression on her that day after school; even years later, she could still recognize him.
Her eyes swept back and forth between Qi Xinyuan and Xiao Rongrong's faces, her mind racing to think of any of her classmates
who resembled these two parents most. She guessed that one of her classmates' parents must have come to subtly inquire about their
child's situation at school. She ultimately couldn't think of anyone, and smiled apologetically, saying, "Excuse me,
who are you...?"

Hearing her own daughter ask such a question caused Qi Xinyuan a pang of pain, and she almost couldn't help but
tear up.

"Oh, no, I'm here to see your father. Are they... both home?" After a wave of pain and embarrassment,
Qi Xinyuan looked around.

Hearing that it wasn't a classmate's parent, and obviously not looking for her, Sisi was somewhat disappointed. However, this
man she had met once before had left a good impression on her. After all, she was in her own home, and that slight disappointment
quickly faded from her youthful face, replaced by a bright smile.

"Yes, come in," she said, then turned around and called out, "Dad—someone's looking for you!"
Sisi's voice was incredibly sweet; if she weren't his daughter, Qi Xinyuan would have mentally given her a lot more
credit. But his daughter's cry of "Dad" made Qi Xinyuan's heart tremble. Xiao Rongrong noticed
Qi Xinyuan's expression and felt a pang of pity. Today, besides a few boxes of wine, Qi Xinyuan hadn't brought anything else.
He felt that no amount of material possessions could express the old man's gratitude for raising his daughter. Bai Hua had told him that she
planned to give the old man some money as a token of gratitude, and had already given him some, amounting to tens of thousands of yuan. Knowing they couldn't raise
the child, the couple ultimately agreed to Bai Hua's request to return her daughter for the sake of the child's happiness.
Beforehand, Bai Hua had arranged everything perfectly with the old man; otherwise, Qi Xinyuan wouldn't have come knocking.
Qi Xinyuan also wanted to give the old man some money, but felt it inappropriate in front of his daughter, so he decided to do it later.

After Qi Xinyuan and Xiao Rongrong went inside, Sisi's adoptive parents came out. The
elderly couple showed neither surprise nor enthusiasm at their arrival, which Sisi found strange, but she was still very welcoming,
calling them "Auntie" and "Uncle." Ever since meeting them at the school gate that day, Sisi had felt an innate
closeness to Qi Xinyuan. She couldn't describe the feeling, only that this man was very kind, while she
felt nothing for Xiao Rongrong.

"My name is Qi Xinyuan..."

Qi Xinyuan was about to introduce himself when the old man slowly interrupted him with a single sentence: "I know!" The old man's
eyes immediately reddened, and his wife also wept beside him. The inexplicable sadness of the elderly couple left Sisi somewhat
bewildered. She quietly retreated into the house, leaning against the doorframe to listen to the conversation outside.

"I...we are so grateful for your nurturing of Sisi..." Qi Xinyuan had barely uttered a word when the old
man immediately raised a hand to stop him. Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to stop. The old man was already weeping uncontrollably
. How could they not be heartbroken that their daughter, whom they had raised for fifteen years, was to be given away? Not to mention the
immense hardship of caring for her through countless difficult times, the deep bond of love and support they had shared over those fifteen years
could not be expressed with a mere word of thanks! Faced with this scene, Qi Xinyuan and Xiao Rongrong, though somewhat expecting it, were powerless to do anything.
At this moment, Sisi, hiding outside, seemed to understand the young couple's identity: they were her biological
parents! Just as Xiao Rongrong and Qi Xinyuan were at their wits' end, Sisi stepped forward. Her previous
sweetness and enthusiasm vanished, replaced by a cold expression. "Who are you? What right do you have to bully us? Get out!"

"Sisi, these are your biological parents!" Sisi's adoptive mother then burst into tears.

Facing Sisi, Qi Xinyuan simply lowered his head, saying nothing.

"My biological parents? Where were you fifteen years ago? Where have you been these past fifteen years? I
don't have parents like you!" Sisi stared at Qi Xinyuan and Xiao Rongrong, her anger uncontrollable. She then knelt
down, hugged her adoptive father, and cried, "Dad, Mom, I don't recognize anyone but you!" Her
small body trembled in her adoptive father's arms, her sobs heartbreaking. Countless times she had dreamt of seeing her
birth parents, longing to live a happy, carefree life like other children. Yet,
she often felt a burning resentment towards the parents who had given birth to her and then abandoned her. She couldn't understand why her parents could be
so cruel, giving away her own flesh and blood! She
had woken from these dreams countless times with tears streaming down her face. But today, when she finally saw her birth parents, she suddenly realized how
incredibly precious her adoptive parents were. Although she had known from a young age that her parents had found her, they had never mistreated
her, treating her even better than their own biological daughter. The image of her riding on her father's shoulders as a child was vivid in
her mind.

As Sisi burst into tears, the old man wiped away his cloudy tears and said, "Child
, I have completed my mission. You should return to your biological parents. I know you are a
good child, reluctant to leave us, and we are reluctant to leave you either. But, all these years, they have always missed you,
haven't they? Your food, clothes, and all your school expenses were paid for by your biological parents."

"I don't care! I'll give them back—I only want you! Waaah—waaah—" Sisi cried, almost
hoarsely, "They abandoned me a long time ago, why are they bothering us again today—waaah—waaah
—you bastards! Go away! I never want to see you again—" Sisi suddenly stood up, tears streaming down her face,
grabbed the wine Qi Xinyuan had brought, and threw it into the yard!

Chapter 008 Twin Siblings

Qi Xinyuan lay reclining on the large sofa with his eyes closed. The weak rays of the setting sun pierced through the glass and shone
on the wall opposite him. Beside him, a woman with a certain air of confidence and a touch of coolness leaned against him. The woman
wore tight-fitting, wide-legged jeans, and a plain white silk floral shirt was loosely tucked into the beltless pants
. The buttons of the shirt were stretched slightly open by her full breasts, vaguely revealing her unadorned,
jade-like skin.

This wasn't Qi Xinyuan's home; the house belonged to his twin sister, Qi Xinyu.
The woman leaning against Qi Xinyuan was Qi Xinyu. Perhaps it was because she was too beautiful, or perhaps because her demeanor was too elegant—
as the saying goes, highbrow tastes are often unappealing—this sister, who had been in the world less than half a year older than Qi Xinyuan, was still single.
She had a seemingly unrelated identity—the owner of a small auto repair shop.
After graduating with a master's degree in business administration, she bought a nearly bankrupt business. After her restructuring,
the repair shop miraculously revived within six months and became increasingly prosperous. Despite being
the owner, she rarely went to the shop. Her managers were all carefully
selected—technically skilled, good at management, and, most importantly, responsible and willing
to follow her without trying to outsmart her. She was incredibly ruthless; she even sent her friends to test her employees.
Some didn't even understand what was happening before she disciplined them. She told her friends, "If you want them to
fix cars properly, I have to discipline them first." Initially, one of them caused trouble and
was glared at for several minutes with that look that both captivated and instilled awe in men. "Anyone willing to work for me should act
like they're working for me, otherwise, I'll make sure they die!" This was the only
thing she said to that subordinate when they spoke to him alone. That guy is now a middle manager in the factory, working very hard because Qi Xinyu hasn't fired him. So far,
she hasn't fired a single employee, nor has she increased staff, so the factory always seems to be packed with customers. The more
this happens, the more she insists on maintaining high quality control. Because her reward system is so incredibly tempting,
the workers are constantly finding ways to increase efficiency. In a year, Qi Xinyu actually earned nearly two million.

Qi Xinyu was somewhat peculiar. Whenever she went shopping or out to eat, she would always invite her
younger brother, who was only a dozen minutes younger than her, along. Dressed fashionably, she would link arms with her brother, Qi Xinyuan, like a couple. She
would even openly tell Xiao Rongrong, "Rongrong, don't be jealous! I'm doing this to prevent those lecherous men
from getting their hands on me!"

Although Xiao Rongrong couldn't openly express her jealousy,
she felt uncomfortable every time she saw Qi Xinyu's alluring body pressed tightly against Qi Xinyuan. She thought, "Those who know understand you're siblings,
but those who don't might think I, Xiao Rongrong, have lost control of my husband." What Xiao Rongrong found
even more unsettling was that Qi Xinyu would often abandon her own large house and instead come to her brother's place to sleep. She wouldn't
share a bed with her little niece, saying she was a restless sleeper and afraid of suffocating Xin Yao, so
she often chased Qi Xinyuan to Xin Yao's bed. She herself slept in the same bed as her sister-in-law, Xiao Rongrong, ruining many of Xiao Rongrong's plans.
Having no other choice, Xiao Rongrong had to set up a separate bed for Qi Xinyu in another room. However, Qi
Xinyu always found excuses not to sleep in her own bed, preferring to sleep with Xiao Rongrong. If Qi Xinyu came
, that bed became Qi Xinyuan's sleeping place.

"Don't leave today, stay with your sister! Okay?" Qi Xinyu said softly, her fair hand
resting on Qi Xinyuan's chest, slipping inside his shirt.

"I'm not in the mood!" Qi Xinyuan's eyes remained closed, looking troubled.

"What's troubling you? I've never seen you like this before. Did you and Rongrong have a fight
?"

"No." "

Then what's wrong?"

Qi Xinyuan sat up abruptly, sighing, "Sigh—"

"What happened?" Qi Xinyu was startled.

Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to tell her the whole story about Sisi.

"Your fertility treatment is so effective, it worked on the first try? I'm truly impressed!"
After hearing the whole story, Qi Xinyu, unlike Qi Xinyuan, didn't seem so serious. Instead, she said confidently, "Leave it
to me! Give me Sisi's photo and address. " "

I remember the address, but the photo is still at home."

"Why don't you have it with you! " "

My daughter is already in my heart!"

"Then just draw one for me!" Qi Xinyu immediately got up and grabbed her sketching paper and pencils. Sometimes,
when Xinyuan was free, she would call him over to draw nude sketches for her, so she actually kept some paper and pencils at home. Qi Xinyu believed
her younger brother's drawing would be even more lifelike than the photograph.

She placed the drawing board on her brother's lap, and Qi Xinyuan, with his eyes slightly closed for less than half a minute, immediately
picked up his brush and quickly sketched a portrait.

"Isn't this Bai Hua?" Qi Xinyu exclaimed in surprise, taking the sketch Qi Xinyuan had just finished.

"Her daughter, of course she looks like her!"

"She seems even more delicate than Bai Hua!"

"Are you so confident this is your masterpiece?" Qi Xinyu said mischievously.

"Look at her eyes, don't they look like yours? When I first saw her, I thought she was almost like you when
you were little, just not as mischievous."

"Who's mischievous!" Qi Xinyu pouted and playfully rubbed against Qi Xinyuan. Her two breasts
trembled gently on her chest. Qi Xinyuan reached out and patted Qi Xinyu's back. The two looked at the portrait together.
Because of their meeting at Sisi's adoptive parents' house, Qi Xinyuan unconsciously added
a subtle resentment to Sisi's eyes. He felt this was the real Sisi; the first time he saw her at the school gate,
that was only her sunny side. Her heart must be filled with pain. Abandonment by one's biological parents is the most damaging thing to a child's
heart, and Qi Xinyuan could fully imagine that. No matter how vicious Sisi said to him
, he wouldn't think it was excessive; on the contrary, it would make his heart ache.

"You can't lose my daughter!"

"Would I sell her for you?"

"No, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach an agreement with her, and things will get even worse! I won't be able to handle it!"
Qi Xinyuan said anxiously. He desperately wanted his daughter Sisi back by his side, but now
he had no choice but to wait!

"You still don't trust your sister? When have you ever messed things up? It seems like all your attention
is on your daughter now! No wonder you haven't come for days!" Qi Xinyu said with a hint of reproach.

"I came to see you, didn't I?"

"I had to call you! By the way, the bed Rongrong bought me is finally coming in handy
! I gave it to Sisi. But if she doesn't want to deal with her stepmother's attitude, let her come stay with me.
I'm her aunt, I won't have any ill intentions towards her, don't worry!"

"What? Rongrong is pretending to be Sisi's biological mother! Sisi can't know about this,
and don't tell her about Bai Hua either. I almost forgot to tell you!"

"Why is Rongrong doing this? Isn't she clearly taking the blame for Bai Hua abandoning her daughter?" Qi
Xinyu was utterly bewildered.

"She has her reasons, she's not stupid!"

Chapter 009 Winning Over the Niece

Qi Xinyu was bored anyway, and now that her younger brother told her that she actually had a
niece several years older than Xinyao, she was overjoyed, as if she had suddenly given birth to a daughter. After seeing the
painting Qi Xinyuan had drawn, Qi Xinyu took a liking to this niece. So, as afternoon school was about to end, Qi Xinyu
arrived early at the gate of the Fourth Middle School to pick up Sisi. She was very confident in herself. She believed that blood is thicker than
water; Sisi might not be able to get rid of her resentment towards her biological parents for a while, but she wouldn't have any complaints about her as her aunt.
Perhaps she could take Sisi home.

As the students poured out, Qi Xinyu kept looking towards the school gate. Her eyes were sharp
, and she immediately locked onto Sisi from the crowd.

"Sisi—" Qi Xinyu was moved the moment she saw Sisi, as if she were
seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for years. Sisi's face was just like a little white birch tree; how could she not recognize her? Actually, to others
, Sisi looked more like Qi Xinyu, but she herself didn't think so.

Hearing someone call, Sisi looked in Qi Xinyu's direction, but didn't find any woman she recognized.
At first, she thought it was her birth mother, Xiao Rongrong, again. She continued walking forward. Just then, a few mischievous
students were backing up in front of Sisi, singing, "Children without parents are like grass—"
Sisi was angry but helpless, because they hadn't explicitly pointed at her. All of this
was seen by Qi Xinyu, who was waiting for Sisi. She stormed over, her face hard. She pointed at the boys and yelled, "Sing again? Sing again and
I'll beat you to death!" The boy was genuinely frightened and quickly turned around; the group ran away together. Just
then, Sisi walked up to her.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Before Qi Xinyu could even turn around, Sisi expressed her gratitude from behind.

"Sisi!" Qi Xinyu immediately changed her expression. She thought her fierce look earlier must have
frightened Sisi. Qi Xinyu smiled sheepishly at Sisi; she didn't want people to think she was a haggard old woman.

"How do you know my name?" This seemingly unfamiliar woman actually called out her name
; it seemed that the one who called her earlier was her. Sisi was somewhat confused.

"You're my niece, of course I know your name!" Qi Xinyu acted like an old acquaintance in front of Sisi
, which made Sisi even more bewildered.

"But I... don't know you!"

"Look carefully, who am I?" The tall Qi Xinyu swayed in front of Sisi. Sisi looked
her up and down for a while, slowly feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't remember.

"I...I really don't know you, Auntie."

"You can't call me Auntie!"

"Then what should I call you?" Sisi was a little flustered.

"Who do I look like?"

"I'm sorry, I really haven't seen an auntie who looks like you." Unable to remember for a moment, Sisi felt a little
embarrassed.

"What about men? Have you ever seen a man who looks similar to me?" Qi Xinyu and Qi Xinyuan were twins
, so their appearances were naturally similar. Qi Xinyu kept prompting her. She seemed to see her younger
self in Sisi, and the more she looked, the more she liked her.

From Qi Xinyu's eyes, Sisi finally realized that she resembled someone, a man—her
biological father, Qi Xinyuan. After making this conclusion, Sisi suddenly changed her expression and looked away.

"What's wrong, Sisi? Do you remember now?" Qi Xinyu had already guessed that Sisi must be angry with her
father again.

"I'm sorry, I have to go home." Sisi's eyes were filled with glistening tears. Since
she wasn't called "Auntie," the beautiful woman standing before her must be her aunt. Her aunt's eyes
were undoubtedly warm and kind, yet, even in that warm and kind gaze, Sisi's heart naturally
stirred with resentment and longing for her other two closest relatives.

"Sisi, now you know, right? I'm your aunt, your own aunt!"

Sisi's eyes were brimming with tears, her large, bright eyes glistening with tears, and she didn't say a word.

"I know you hate them, but now… they're heartbroken too, and your aunt feels bad too
." As she spoke, Qi Xinyu couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears streamed down her face.

"Sisi, good child, you can hate them, you can go away from them, but you can't disown me
as your aunt, can you?" Qi Xinyu reached out and gently stroked Sisi's shoulders, looking at her youthful
and pretty face. Sisi slowly turned her head to look at this aunt who resembled her so much, and her heart softened.
Seeing the change in Sisi's eyes, Qi Xinyu felt greatly comforted. She finally smiled with relief, but
tears still welled up in her eyes—tears of happiness, though.

"Sisi, can you promise your aunt something?" Qi Xinyu, taller than Sisi, bent down slightly
, asking face-to-face, "Come visit your aunt today, just for a little while. Your aunt will immediately
drive you home!"

Sisi glanced at the black Audi behind Qi Xinyu, her heart hesitating. Although she had never met this woman before...
They had never met before, but from the moment Sisi saw her, she felt an instant connection. Qi Xinyu
wasn't exactly a gentle woman, but she shared a deep, unbreakable bond with Sisi—a blood tie that
made them feel like old friends.

"If I go back late, my parents will be unhappy! They'll be worried sick!" Actually, she was more
worried about what would happen if her adoptive parents found out she was at her biological aunt's house. They would be heartbroken.
After all, they had raised her for fifteen years. Although they hadn't objected to her returning to her biological parents, and
had even encouraged her to go back, she could see the pain in their hearts. Fifteen-year-old Sisi was a very sensible child
.

Qi Xinyu, however, had other thoughts. It was their first meeting, and Sisi might not trust this
aunt she had never met before. She hoped Sisi wouldn't mistake her for a child trafficker. "How about I call your adoptive
parents now and tell them?"

"Maybe I shouldn't!"

"So Sisi agrees? Oh, my dear Sisi!" Qi Xinyu excitedly hugged Sisi tightly
.

Upon arriving at Qi Xinyu's house, the exquisite exterior of the small villa and the elegant furnishings
deeply moved Sisi. Every time she looked out the bus window on her way to school and saw those nice houses, she
had dreamed of one day making a lot of money and getting one for her parents who raised her. But hearing
about the astronomical housing prices, Sisi felt despair. However, stepping into her aunt's house,
that imbalance in her heart rekindled her resentment towards her biological parents.

"Don't be shy, your aunt lives alone! A bachelor!" Qi Xinyu said without hesitation.

Sisi thought, if her aunt lives in such a big house by herself, what must her biological parents' house be like!
She really wanted to go and see!

"Auntie's door is always open for Sisi. Just let Auntie know whenever you want to come
." Qi Xinyu handed Sisi a peeled apple. Sisi hesitated, but Qi Xinyu
said coquettishly, "Hmm! Auntie has never peeled an apple for any other child before, you're the first!" She was telling
the truth; even Xinyao hadn't been treated this way.

Sisi ate the apple, marveling at the luxury of Qi Xinyu's home. If her aunt's house was heaven
, her adoptive parents' home was hell. But emotionally, she couldn't bear to leave the
poor family that had raised her for fifteen years. Although Bai Hua had been sending money to her family all these years, the old folks were reluctant to spend it, saving it
all for Sisi's university education. The old folks were frugal, and their experience told them that life was unpredictable ; no one could guarantee that Bai Hua's money would flow in continuously. Therefore, Sisi couldn't compare
materially to other children her age. 　　"I have to go!" Sisi quickly finished the apple and stood up immediately. She was genuinely worried that her adoptive parents would find out and hurt their feelings. 　　Qi Xinyu didn't dare to insist she stay. She was already grateful that Sisi had stayed for even a short while, and she knew that once it happened, it would happen again and again; sooner or later, this niece would return to the Qi family! Qi Xinyu quickly took out a sum of money from her wallet, about five or six hundred yuan, and forced it into Sisi's schoolbag. 　　"I don't want it!" Sisi wasn't a greedy child who would be easily swayed by money. She turned away, preventing Qi Xinyu from putting the money in. 　　"If you keep doing this, Auntie will be angry! This is your allowance from Auntie. Auntie owes you a lot more. Take it!" Sisi finally stopped being coy and obediently let Qi Xinyu put the money into her schoolbag. Qi Xinyu then took out two keys and a business card. "These are Auntie's keys and phone number." 　　Sisi hesitated, not taking them. 　　"Here, take it. Sometimes Auntie might not be home, you should at least call her, right?" Sisi slowly took the business card and keys. Then she turned to leave. 　　"Sisi, did you forget something?" Qi Xinyu asked, looking at Sisi's face. 　　"No, I only brought a backpack with me!" 　　"Think again!" Qi Xinyu stared expectantly into Sisi's eyes. 　　"It seems like I really didn't. I..." 　　"Silly girl! You haven't called me Auntie yet!" 　　Sisi's face flushed red. Actually, several times Qi Xinyu's kindness and enthusiasm almost made her call out , but Qi Xinyu was always busy talking and didn't give her the chance. She was planning to call her when she got out of her car. "Auntie!" After calling out, Sisi rushed into Qi Xinyu's arms, and the two hugged each other 　　tightly . The scene was both warm and sad. 　　"Alright, my beautiful girl, don't chapped your face! Go wash your face." Seeing the tears on Sisi's face , Qi Xinyu led Sisi into her bathroom. She took Sisi's schoolbag from her and leaned against the bathroom door frame, watching Sisi wash her face. She then gestured towards her cosmetics shelf, but Sisi shook her head. "I've never used that stuff. It's sticky and uncomfortable." 　　"You brat! You haven't used any cosmetics and your skin is still so pretty, it makes your auntie so envious!" She pinched Sisi's soft cheeks. "Auntie really wants to bite you!" 　　Chapter 010 A Gift in Return 　　After taking Sisi home, Qi Xinyu drove directly to her younger brother Qi Xinyuan's door. She wanted to report her work achievements to her brother; Sisi had already been won over. Because of her excitement, she walked very fast after getting out of the car, and this time she almost had her skirt snagged by the wooden door again. Qi Xinyu was very dissatisfied with Qi Xinyuan's wooden door design. Every time she came, she had to be careful, otherwise, the extremely irregular wood would tear her clothes. 　　"Xinyuan, shouldn't you change that lousy wooden door? It's happened so many times! Scratching my clothes is a small matter, but what if it ruins my leg? I'd like to see how you compensate me!" Qi Xinyu launched an attack on Qi Xinyuan as soon as she sat down. 　　"What, did it scratch your clothes again? You're something else! If you were wearing jeans, you'd be fine! Why did you have to wear a skirt?" Qi Xinyuan moved aside, and Qi Xinyu sat down next to him.

"What's wrong with wearing a skirt? A woman who doesn't wear a skirt is timid! Lacking confidence! I like wearing skirts.
Wearing jeans all day is like having no clothes at all, how shabby! Look at Xinyao, she's wearing a skirt too, isn't
she beautiful!" After Qi Xinyu came in, Xinyao quietly watched TV. This aunt came almost every day,
so it wasn't a novelty anymore. Xinyao even got annoyed by her sometimes because she not only stole her snacks but also sometimes argued with her about
her father, preventing her from playing with her father on Sundays like other children. Therefore, Xinyao
considered Qi Xinyu an enemy and always ignored her when she came.

Qi Xinyu picked up a segment of orange from the coffee table and ate it, her excessive excitement making her thirsty. "That's mine!"
Xinyao shouted as soon as Qi Xinyu took a bite.

"You eat that segment!" Qi Xinyu grabbed another segment and shoved it at Xinyao. Xinyao reluctantly
held the other segment in her hand but didn't eat it, glaring at her aunt's face.

"Xinyuan, I have good news for you!" Qi Xinyu turned to Xinyuan and said.

"What is it?"

"We'll talk outside later!" Qi Xinyu ate fruit heartily, too busy to talk. Just then, Xiao Rongrong
came out of the kitchen.

"Sister's here!" Xiao Rongrong was wearing an apron, but she still looked beautiful. The apron accentuated her
full breasts.

"Um! Rongrong, can I borrow Xinyuan for a bit later? You don't mind, right?"

"I haven't eaten yet!" Every time Qi Xinyu asked Xinyuan out, she would tell Xiao Rongrong, but she always
just borrowed him. However, she had a good habit of returning him on time.

"We'll just grab something to eat! You guys eat, okay?"

Although Xiao Rongrong was reluctant, she couldn't say it out loud, after all, they were siblings.

"So annoying!" Xinyao suddenly said.

"Who are you talking about, Xinyao?" Qi Xinyu turned around in surprise and asked. Xinyao, her face fixed on the television, said
, "I'm talking about that woman on TV!" With that, Xinyao got off the sofa, slipped on her slippers, and headed towards the dining room,
not letting her aunt, Qi Xinyu, eat.

"Why don't you eat something before you go out? The food outside isn't hygienic!"

"You guys eat, we're leaving now." Qi Xinyu pulled Qi Xinyuan and headed outside.

"I haven't changed my clothes yet."

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you in the car!" Qi Xinyu rushed out again.

As soon as Qi Xinyuan got into the car, Qi Xinyu couldn't contain her excitement.

"Your daughter's all taken care of by your sister!"

"How so?"

"Sisi! She's already acknowledged me as her aunt, and she even took my keys. How are you planning to repay her
?"

"Really?" Qi Xinyuan was even more excited. He really hadn't expected his twin sister to be so
capable, getting things done so quickly. "That's wonderful!"

"Don't just say 'wonderful'! You haven't even told me how you're going to repay me yet!"

Qi Xinyuan pulled out a bank card from his pocket, with tens of thousands of yuan on it.

"Tonight, I'll spend those tens of thousands!"

"Tch! So vulgar! So incredibly vulgar! Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?"

"Then how much do you want?" Qi Xinyuan thought his sister was going to take this opportunity to squeeze some money out of him. If the amount was too large
, he'd probably have to discuss it with Rongrong.

"I want you to stay with me until dawn, how about it?" Qi Xinyu glanced at her brother's troubled expression. "Silly
boy, look how scared you are! It's like Rongrong has cast a spell on you!"

"No, lately... I... I'm a little tired," Qi Xinyuan said weakly. He hadn't
been close to Xinyu for a while, but lately, because of Sisi's matter, Qi Xinyuan felt guilty towards Rongrong.
He was truly torn.

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, but I'll keep track of this, and you'll have to pay it back with interest later
." Qi Xinyu turned her head and looked at Qi Xinyuan affectionately. She understood her brother's situation at this stage.
She thought that Bai Hua, who had just returned from America, wouldn't let him off easily. So she decided to sleep in Rongrong's bed again tonight
. At this time, she believed that Rongrong and Bai Hua would be frantically
taking advantage of her brother. Only she truly cared about her brother!

"Where are we going?"

"You have to spend a little money, right? Just buy me some clothes to tide me over, so you won't feel bad
. Something cheap will do. Don't spend more than ten thousand yuan!"

"That's ruthless!"

"Why are you feeling the pinch? Don't forget how much I've done for you! How much do you earn for each painting you make
?"

"If I painted one every day, would I still be worth anything?"

"If you're still reluctant, then let's lower the price again, how about six thousand?" After getting out of the car, Qi Xinyu took Qi Xinyuan's arm again
, pressing her full breasts tightly against him.

“Since it’s for my sister, it has to be something classy. I can’t just settle for anything! If I wear it out and
people know I bought it for me, I’ll be embarrassed.”

Qi Xinyu pressed herself against Qi Xinyuan, her fluffy sweater and the
soft, rounded skin beneath it sending a wave of happiness through Qi Xinyuan. They were used to it;
neither of them cared about what others thought.

Qi Xinyu didn’t find anything she liked among the dazzling array of clothes in the mall. She certainly didn’t need more clothes, but she thoroughly
enjoyed shopping with her brother. They had been browsing for almost an hour, still not
finding anything she liked. Finally, Qi Xinyu’s eyes settled on a pink lingerie set. It wasn’t
expensive, only a few hundred yuan.

“I want that one!” Qi Xinyu said, pointing to the one on the mannequin.

"Isn't it too cheap?"

"I don't care, as long as it looks good!" Qi Xinyu said coquettishly, like a little sister.

The sales assistant chose a size for Qi Xinyu based on her figure. Qi Xinyu took the dress into the fitting room.
After a short while, Qi Xinyu spoke up: "Xinyuan, come in for a moment!"

The fitting room in that mall was larger than those in ordinary malls. When Qi Xinyuan entered, Qi Xinyu had already taken off
her outer clothes, wearing only a bra. She had her back to Qi Xinyuan: "Loosen that clasp a little more! It's too
tight!"

Standing behind her, Qi Xinyuan's eyes were slightly blurred by her fair back. It had been many days since he had seen
his sister's body like this, and Qi Xinyuan's blood suddenly rushed to his head.

"What's wrong? Hurry up!" Qi Xinyu urged.

Qi Xinyuan's fingers trembled slightly when they touched his sister's skin. Her armpits were even whiter, like snow. The bra
straps were very thin, constricting her elastic armpits, revealing a patch of skin even more alluring than snow
. Qi Xinyuan first unhooked his sister's bra, but instead of immediately fastening it to a looser clasp
, he slowly slipped his hands under her armpits and placed them on Qi Xinyu
's breasts.

"You bad boy! I asked you for help, and you're taking advantage of me!"

"I want to help you take this off; it'll look better that way!" As he spoke, Qi Xinyuan's
hands began to roam freely over Qi Xinyu's chest.

Chapter 011: It was my sister who pinched

me, it doesn't hurt. Qi Xinyuan and his sister Qi Xinyu were quite tired from shopping. Qi Xinyu
leaned wearily against Qi Xinyuan. She looked at her brother pitifully, "Xinyuan, I can't walk anymore!
My stomach is growling! Let's find a place to eat! It's my treat!"

Qi Xinyu didn't even want to drive anymore, handing the steering wheel to her brother. No one
was allowed to touch her car. Xiao Rongrong couldn't drive. But it was different for her younger brother.

The car stopped at a dim sum restaurant. Qi Xinyuan knew that his sister never
ate at places with lots of meat and fish to maintain her figure. After getting out of the car, Qi Xinyu still clung to her brother's arm like a lover,
leaning against him. The two didn't go to a private room, but instead went into a room with window lattices and
sat down. This was all about the atmosphere, so despite the exorbitant prices of the dim sum, the place was quite
popular. Qi Xinyuan and his sister's private room was at the very end, where they could see everything on the street
without even looking up. Similarly, pedestrians or passengers on the street
could easily catch a glimpse of the flirtatious young couples. To others, Qi Xinyuan and Qi
Xinyu weren't siblings, but a genuine couple in love, their intimacy
making others envious. Especially since their appearances and heights were so perfectly matched, their striking resemblance made
people think they were a couple, never suspecting they were siblings.
This was exactly the effect Qi Xinyu wanted; after all, the intimacy between sister and brother wasn't illegal, nobody could interfere, and no one could gossip.
Therefore, whether or not they ran into acquaintances, she never had any reservations.

Although he wasn't short of money, Qi Xinyuan was never extravagant or wasteful when it came to food; he even managed
to buy only what he could eat. Qi Xinyuan only ordered two plates of pastries and a plate of cashews to go.
Qi Xinyu, who was conscious of her figure, rarely drank beverages, so she ordered a pot of tea and placed it in the middle, and also ordered a separate
bottle of mineral water with a straw for her sister.

After the waiter left, Qi Xinyu lazily leaned on the table, the neat edge of which perfectly framed her breasts
, supporting her high, firm peaks. The siblings sat facing each other, Qi Xinyu's hands
under the table, showing no interest in reaching for the snacks.

"Weren't you starving? Why aren't you eating?" Qi Xinyuan had already stuffed a snack into his mouth; he
was also feeling hungry.

"I want you to give me some!" The older sister was actually acting coquettishly in front of her younger brother. But for Qi Xinyu
, this was commonplace. Even in front of Xiao Rongrong, she would occasionally act this way,
making Xiao Rongrong jealous but unable to express it. Xinyao, who had always disliked her aunt, often showed
extreme resentment, but Qi Xinyu didn't care. Sometimes she would even deliberately tease Xinyao, forcing Xiao Rongrong
to coax Qi Xinyu.

"You're shameless arguing with a child!" Xiao Rongrong often said to her, half-jokingly and half-seriously. But later, Qi Xinyu continued to
do as she pleased, showing no change.

"So lazy!" Qi Xinyuan said, picking up a piece of pastry with two fingers and bringing it to Qi Xinyu's lips. Qi
Xinyu didn't even lean forward; she simply opened her mouth slightly to accept the pastry from her younger brother.
After eating three pieces, she gestured towards the bottled water next to Qi Xinyuan. Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to bring the water
to her lips again. She opened her mouth again, took two sips through the straw, and then spat it out.

"I want more!" Qi Xinyu said coquettishly, looking at Qi Xinyuan as he brought the pastry to her lips. But this
time, she not only swallowed the pastry but also one of Qi Xinyuan's fingers. Qi Xinyuan nervously looked away,
afraid someone would see. But Qi Xinyu didn't care whether others saw or not and started sucking on Qi Xinyuan's finger.

"Girls will get fat if they eat meat!" Qi Xinyuan scolded. He blushed and tried to pull his finger back, but Qi Xinyuan
held it firmly in her mouth, smiling foolishly at him. At the same time, Qi Xinyuan felt her tongue
licking the tip of his finger. It tickled him. The finger was so full in Qi Xinyuan's mouth that she was practically drooling
before she finally released it. Seeing Qi Xinyuan nervously looking around, Qi Xinyuan chuckled and said, "
What are you looking at?"

"I'm a famous painter, many people know me!" Qi Xinyuan whispered.

"What famous painter? Isn't it just leading girls around painting women's bodies all day? I'm a CEO!"

"That's art! Can you call that art?"

"Yes, it becomes art in your hands. If it were someone else, they'd be arrested as a pervert
!"

"That's because they've done something wrong!" Qi Xinyuan continued eating his snack.

"But wouldn't that become performance art when you people do it?"

"Heh, that's true. Only I could draw a nude portrait of you, sister. Could anyone else do it?"

"How many girls have you drawn nude portraits of? Are any as pretty as you, sister?"

"If I told you I have a prettier girl than you, you'd kill me!"

Qi Xinyu glared at Qi Xinyuan, but secretly took off her shoes under the table and slipped her foot onto his thigh
. Qi Xinyuan assumed she was just teasing him. Unexpectedly, she took advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and pinched his thigh with her toes
, causing him to wince in pain but dare not cry out.

"Still angry with me?" Qi Xinyu said coquettishly, secretly applying pressure.

"I won't, good sister, please forgive me, someone's watching!" Qi Xinyuan's eyes darted
behind Qi Xinyu.

Qi Xinyu slowly released her foot, but didn't immediately pull it back. "My feet are tired, give me
a massage!" Qi Xinyu said, both coquettish and commanding. Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to reach under and grasp Qi Xinyu's
foot that was resting on his thigh, and began to massage it. Just as Qi Xinyu was about to
close her eyes and enjoy the massage after Qi Xinyuan had given her a couple of squeezes, he started tickling her feet,
making her quickly pull her feet away.

"You wait, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back! By the way, tell me, how much did you sell that peony painting for
?"

"Why are you asking about this now? You're not after my money, are you?"

"Silly girl! You think I need your little bit of money? I want to know how much Da Tou made!"

Da Tou, whom Qi Xinyu was referring to, was a high school classmate who didn't have a proper job but had gotten into antiques
. Later, through Qi Xinyu's connections, he started selling Qi Xinyuan's paintings. At first, Qi Xinyu was just
helping her classmate out, but unexpectedly, he became increasingly wealthy. She even heard that this middleman
was making more money selling a single painting by Qi Xinyuan than Qi Xinyuan himself, which made her quite resentful.

"He must have sold me at least ten paintings, I know which one you're talking about!" Qi Xinyuan,
without even washing his hands, picked up a snack with the same hands he'd used to massage his sister's feet.

"I'm talking about the one I gave him last week."

Qi Xinyuan recalled briefly, "I think it was 200,000." He mentioned 200,000 as
casually as if it were 20 yuan. Because that wasn't even his most expensive painting; it was one of the lower-priced ones. "Right, it was 200,000
. I told him it couldn't be less than 300,000 because that painting used special techniques, but that
guy said the person who wanted to buy it suddenly had an accident and couldn't raise the money. To show that person
he had control over the painting, he sold it for 200,000!"

"You're such a silly brother! Do you know how much he sold it for?"

"How much?" Qi Xinyuan asked, not really caring.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand! That guy actually pocketed fifteen thousand from one of your paintings, that's really ruthless!"

"He can't work for free, can he? We just finished the painting and that's it, besides, he's your classmate
, why should I be so petty?"

"Thank goodness you didn't sell yourself!" Qi Xinyu said coquettishly, popping a cashew into Qi Xinyuan
's mouth. "Hurry up and eat something, I think you've lost your mind!" Qi Xinyuan just smiled nonchalantly.

Qi Xinyu's claim that Da Tou got fifteen thousand from one painting wasn't unfounded; it was something Da Tou
had told one of Qi Xinyu's close friends.

After leaving the small restaurant, the two returned to Qi Xinyuan's house. Xin Yao and Xiao Rongrong were still sitting in the living room
watching TV. Actually, Xiao Rongrong was waiting for Xinyuan; she couldn't sleep until she saw him return.

"Daddy's home!" Xin Yao ran over happily and was picked up by her father, hugging his neck and kissing him
. But ten-year-old Xin Yao accidentally kicked Qi Xin Yuan's thigh.

"Ouch!" Qi Xin Yuan cried out softly, because the spot Xin Yao had kicked was
the same spot where his older sister Xin Yu had twisted his foot.

"What happened?" Xiao Rong Rong heard Xin Yuan's cry and quickly stood up to ask what had happened.

"It's nothing, my darling daughter just kissed my cheek and it hurt!" Qi Xin Yuan quickly covered up.

After Xin Yao went upstairs, Xiao Rong Rong went to make the bed, while Qi Xin Yu went to the bathroom.

"Xin Yuan, come here for a moment." Qi Xin Yu called to Qi Xin Yuan from the bathroom, and Qi Xin Yuan responded and
went in.

Qi Xin Yu was standing in front of him. She didn't do anything, just looked at Xin Yuan and asked, "Did I hurt you
?"

"It's nothing!"

"Let me see!"

"It's nothing, sister!" Qi Xin Yuan was afraid that Xiao Rong Rong would see him, so he quickly backed away to leave.

"Let me see!" Qi Xinyu's gaze and tone brooked no refusal. Qi Xinyuan had no choice but to close the door,
loosen his belt, and pull down his pants.

There was a bright red patch on Qi Xinyuan's thigh!

Qi Xinyu stroked the small red patch, saying with concern, "It's my fault! Does it still hurt?"

"I pinched it, it doesn't hurt!"

Chapter 012 Big Head and the Cauldron

Qi Xinyu sat in a coffee shop, one leg propped up on another chair, looking very casual,
not at all like a CEO. Opposite her sat a burly man
with an exceptionally large head. The man was about the same age as Qi Xinyu, with slicked-back hair and a pair of small, clever eyes. He held
a cigarette between his fingers, and on his ring finger was a large diamond ring, the diamond sparkling brilliantly under the ceiling light
.

"Big Head, you've made quite a bit from my brother these past six months, haven't you?" Qi Xinyu stretched out her slender fingers
, fiddling with her diamond ring on her other finger. "Look at that thing on your hand, it's
much bigger than mine!"

"Hehe, I didn't make much, just enough for a good cigarette!" The man called Big Head chuckled slyly
, quickly pulling his hand away.

"Afraid of me?" Qi Xinyu glanced at Big Head across from her, then her gaze fell on her
beautiful hands.

"Hehe, Sister Xinyu's hands are so beautiful!"

"Too bad I'm not worthy of wearing such a big diamond ring!" "

Sister Xinyu, all you do is play the poor card. What are you, a big boss, doing playing the poor card in front of a beggar like me!"

"Even beggars wear such huge diamond rings. Looks like I'm not even as good as a beggar! Sigh,
what kind of world is this!"

"Heh heh, stop pretending. Sister Xinyu has really made a fortune these past two years. That repair shop alone is enough to make you famous,
yet you're making fun of me!"

"Looks like you can't make much money off my brother's paintings alone. I thought you only got rich because of him
. Forget it, I'll talk to my brother and tell him not to bother with that. I'll find
someone else!"

"No! Sister Xinyu! Even if it doesn't make much, there's still some profit, right? If Sister Xinyu cuts off
my livelihood, then…won't I starve?" In his haste, Da Tou reached out his hand
, but Qi Xinyu immediately pulled it back. Da Tou gave an awkward laugh.

“I only asked you to sell paintings for my brother because you were struggling financially. Since there’s not much profit to be made, how
could I possibly let you run errands for free?”

“Hehe, Sister Xinyu, we’re practically family. Besides, Brother Xinyuan and I have known each other for a long time. Even if I run errands for free, how could I have a single complaint?” Saying this, Datou reluctantly took the large diamond ring off
his finger and carefully presented it to Qi Xinyu, smiling broadly. “ I was in a rush today and wasn’t prepared. Actually, I should have thanked Sister Xinyu earlier. Please accept this as a small token of my gratitude !” 　　“A gentleman loves money, but he earns it honestly. How could I just take your things? You should keep them.” Qi Xinyu only glanced at the diamond ring Datou offered and continued to play with her slender fingers. "Besides, it's on your wrist, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to wear it." 　　Da Tou felt awkward taking it back, but Qi Xinyu didn't seem inclined to accept it, leaving him in a difficult position. 　　"If Da Tou insists on expressing his gratitude, then it wouldn't be right for me to refuse again. How about this: you give me a commission of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan from the money you've earned selling paintings for my brother over the past six months! Any more than that, and we wouldn't be brothers!" 　　Da Tou felt like he had an egg stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it down, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Because if he didn't agree to Qi Xinyu's conditions, it was clear she was trying to cut off his source of income. But to suddenly hand over 100,000 , or even 80,000, to this woman was truly painful. If it were any other woman, Da Tou probably wouldn't even bat an eye, because that amount of money could easily buy him a very nice woman to sleep with for years. That much money would at least make a sound if thrown into water, but once it was put into this woman's mouth, it wouldn't even make a sound ! After years of dealing with this woman, he had absolutely no hope for her; he couldn't even imagine pinching her butt ! 　　Seeing that Da Tou hadn't reacted for a while, Qi Xinyu raised her eyes and asked with a smile, "That diamond ring on your hand... it's not fake, is it?" At this point, Qi Xinyu could see that Da Tou's forehead was covered in sweat. She knew she was trying to squeeze money out of this tightwad, but she was confident she would get something out of him. 　　"Sister Xinyu, don't be angry. It's not that I'm stingy, but right now, I really don't have the money." 　　"Looks like you haven't earned that much, have you?" Qi Xinyu said coldly. 　　"I do have money, but...I have an urgent need!" 　　"What urgent need?" This suddenly piqued Qi Xinyu's interest. 　　Da Tou chuckled and said, "This...it's not easy to tell you!" 　　"Since it's not easy to tell me, then forget it!" With that, Qi Xinyu stood up from her chair and left. 　　"No...I'll tell you, okay?" 　　Qi Xinyu sat back down. 　　"To be honest, Sister Xinyu, this matter is...scary!" Da Tou's small eyes became even more alert, cautiously glancing elsewhere. 　　"What's so mysterious about it? It's not about weapons, is it?" Da Tou's mysteriousness piqued Xinyu's interest even more. 　　"Only you, Sister Xinyu, I really can't tell anyone else." 　　Hearing Da Tou's words, Qi Xinyu was overjoyed. "Stop being so friendly, just tell me!" 　　But Da Tou deliberately kept her in suspense, taking another cigarette from the pack on the table and slowly lighting it. 　　Xinyu turned her face away impatiently; she despised Da Tou's smug, pretentious manner. 　　“A close friend of mine has a treasure! After he told me about it, I consulted some experts, and it’s incredibly valuable! I let him keep it, but I can’t raise the money right now!” 　　“What is it?” 　　“A bronze cauldron! From the Spring and Autumn Period!” 　　“How much?” 　　“He wants to sell it for 1.5 to 1.6 million! But the price I inquired about is no less than 2 million! Sell it to me for 800,000!” 　　“That much cheaper?” Qi Xinyu clearly didn’t believe Da Tou would have such a close friend. 　　“A close friend!” Da Tou said arrogantly. 　　“Just a little money and you’re worried?” 　　“To be honest, there’s still a small shortfall!” Da Tou held up two fingers. 　　"Isn't it iron? You can owe your friend 200,000 now, and then make up the difference once you sell it, right?" 　　"It's not like that. My friend is short of money too, isn't he? He runs such a big business; how can he manage without some cash on hand?" 　　"So how do you plan to cover this shortfall?" 　　"Hehe, if I hadn't run into Sister Xinyu today, I really wouldn't have dared to ask you for this! You 've already helped me so much, and I haven't even repaid you by borrowing money from you again, hehe, that's too much!" Big Head 's small eyes darted around, and he continued, "But, I can't just use someone's money for free. I want to share the profits with my partners. I don't want to let people who have nothing to do with me take all the benefits, do I?" 　　"You mean if I invest 200,000, you'll give me a quarter of the profits?" 　　"Of course, after all, I can't do this business alone!" 　　"And if it really sells for two million, you'll have to give me 300,000?"

"Besides the initial investment of two hundred thousand! Of course, even brothers need to keep clear accounts; we need to draw up a contract beforehand
!"

"Can I see that treasure?"

"It's a business deal between the two of us, of course you have to see it. I'm afraid I'll misjudge it!"

"Aren't you quite an expert?"

"Hehe, I can handle small-scale stuff, but I can't handle those big stuff!"

"Then when will I give you the money?"

"Sister Xinyu is such a straightforward person, aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?"

"If you dare to rip me off, I'll kill you!"

"Do I have the guts? Besides, even if I were to rip you off, I wouldn't dare, would I?"

"You know what's good for you! Tell me, when do you want the money?" Qi Xinyu also wanted to get something for nothing, to reap the rewards without sowing.
She thought that was the higher level of making money.

"Money, of course, the faster the better, otherwise
the boss won't be able to wait. If a good buyer comes along, they might have already made their move!"

"But, like I said, I need to see that thing. I don't act until I see the profit!"

"Of course!"

Qi Xinyu had just come out of the coffee shop when her phone rang. Because the bronze ding from the Spring and Autumn Period that Da Tou had been thinking about occupied her mind, she could n't immediately recall whose number was
on her phone . She decided to answer it first, pressing the answer button and putting the phone to her ear as she walked towards her car. 　　Chapter 013 White Mother Chu Jingru 　　Qi Xinyuan's car drove through a path decorated with neatly trimmed holly strips on both sides and turned into a garden-style residential community. This community could be considered one of the oldest in Beijing's modern architecture, with a thick pine tree in the courtyard bearing witness to the history of this small courtyard. 　　This is Bai Hua's home. Bai Hua's father, Bai Yunsheng, was originally a person who loved to paint insects, fish, birds, and animals. However, for the sake of technological innovation in the factory, as the factory director, he actually transformed those irregular curves into extremely regular straight lines or arcs. His heyday was when he became the largest shareholder of that small machinery factory and a locally well-known entrepreneur. But just as his fame grew proportionally with his ego, news of his daughter engaging in such an affair with a classmate in the art studio almost made this father, who had once been incredibly proud of his daughter's admission to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, lose all face. He even publicly declared that he was severing ties with his daughter and forbade Bai Hua from ever setting foot in the house again. Left with no other choice, Bai Hua requested to go abroad. The poor father used almost all of his savings from the past few years to send his daughter to the United States. His longing for his daughter and his increasingly severe depression led this pioneer of reform and opening up to eventually take his own life after becoming increasingly emaciated. Now, only her mother, Chu Jingru, and daughter, Bai Hua, remain in this family. 　　Qi Xinyuan knew nothing of this, and for a long time, he didn't even know where Bai Hua had gone. 　　Qi Xinyuan got out of the car, carrying many gifts, and went upstairs somewhat nervously. He hesitated for a long time before finally ringing the doorbell. After the crisp ring, Qi Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the charming and surprised face that appeared before him. He hadn't called Bai Hua before coming. 　　The only reason Qi Xinyuan dared to come today was because Bai Hua had left a message, "Come visit me sometime!" To Qi Xinyuan, it seemed that the obstacles from years ago no longer existed. But the fact that a top student from the Central Academy of Fine Arts had given up her studies remained a deep-seated regret for Qi Xinyuan. If he hadn't seen Bai Hua appear before him now, still radiant with happiness , he would have felt guilty for the rest of his life. 　　The door opened, and standing before Qi Xinyuan was a woman who was clearly older than Bai Hua! He guessed that this must be Bai Hua's mother. 　　"Hello, Auntie!" 　　"You are...?" The woman had already opened the door. She seemed to guess who it was, but wasn't sure, because her daughter, Bai Hua, had mentioned to her mother a couple of days ago that someone might come in the next few days. Her daughter was over thirty and still single, which naturally worried her; she hoped her daughter would find someone soon. 　　"I'm Bai Hua's... friend." Qi Xinyuan was now very hesitant to use the word "classmate" in front of Bai Hua's family. 　　Although the woman was noticeably older than Bai Hua, it was clear she was well-maintained; her delicate skin and beautiful figure made one suspect she was Bai Hua's older sister. 　　"Come in quickly." 　　"Bai Hua isn't home?" 　　"She went out. I'm home alone!" After Qi Xinyuan sat down, Bai Hua's mother made tea for him. She used her slender, white fingers to hold the white porcelain cup and pushed it in front of Qi Xinyuan; her fingers were the same color as the cup. As she bent down, her neckline drooped, and Qi Xinyuan's eyes easily caught sight of her full, snowy breasts and the deep cleavage. Qi Xinyuan's heart skipped a beat . He quickly looked away, otherwise, he was certain he would let his mind wander again. 　　"Drink some water, child. I still don't know how to address you!" Bai Hua's mother, Chu Jingru, smiled gently , a pair of shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. 　　"Call me Xinyuan!" Qi Xinyuan was afraid that his surname would trigger her memories of that unpleasant past. 　　"Oh—" Chu Jingru leaned back on the sofa, her breasts becoming even more prominent, the two dark dots faintly visible atop her prominent breasts beneath her casual clothes. Just then, Qi Xinyuan's phone beeped with a text message. 　　He didn't move; he felt it was impolite to read a text message in his host's house. 　　"You seem to be on the phone, answer it, it's alright." 　　Qi Xinyuan smiled apologetically, took out his phone and saw it was Xinyu calling. 　　"Coming right away!" 　　Qi Xinyuan casually put his phone away and smiled at Chu Jingru, "It's nothing!" 　　While the two were chatting, if Chu Jingru wasn't looking at Qi Xinyuan, his gaze would definitely fall on her face or body. From any angle, Bai Hua's mother was undeniably beautiful.

He was a member of the women's group. If Qi Xinyu hadn't texted him, he would have stayed, listening to her
voice, occasionally admiring her high, firm breasts, and her captivating eyes—all
very pleasant things.

"Auntie, I have to go," Qi Xinyuan said, standing up.

"Okay, I'll tell Bai Hua when she gets back."

"Okay, I'll call her too."

Qi Xinyuan reluctantly left the Bai family home and drove directly to Qi Xinyu's place. He didn't think much of it,
only assuming his twin sister must be lonely at home alone. Because it was late,
he planned to let Xiao Rongrong know if Qi Xinyu invited him to stay for dinner, and he was already thinking of
a suitable excuse.

Qi Xinyuan used his key to open Qi Xinyu's door. As soon as he entered, he heard
clanging sounds from Qi Xinyu's kitchen. Without even glancing at the living room, he went straight to the kitchen. He quietly moved
behind Qi Xinyu, and because of the faint sound of the range hood, Qi Xinyu didn't notice. Qi Xinyuan suddenly
wrapped his arms around his sister's waist from behind.

"You scared me to death!" Qi Xinyu turned around abruptly. Their faces were facing each other. Qi Xinyu was wearing
an apron, and her chest was quite high, so she had to spread her arms and lean back, gesturing towards the living room.

"Who?" Qi Xinyuan still had his arms around his sister's waist.

"Your daughter!"

"You're lying to me?" Qi Xinyuan was a little incredulous. His large hand actually moved up a bit.

"No, it really is Sisi there! Go and see!" Qi Xinyu said coquettishly. Qi Xinyuan

released Qi Xinyu and walked into the living room. A little girl with a ponytail was sitting there watching
TV. Just looking at her background, Qi Xinyuan's heart skipped a beat. Something he never dared to believe
was actually happening before his eyes! He rubbed his hands together, feeling lost, and went to Sisi's side. Sisi did
n't seem to see him. Actually, Sisi had already seen him when he came in and walked towards the kitchen, which is why she turned
around.

"Sisi..." Qi Xinyuan called out somewhat hesitantly, but Sisi kept her eyes fixed on the TV
screen, as if she hadn't heard or seen him. Qi Xinyuan didn't feel embarrassed, but rather a pang of heartache.
However, her coming to Xinyu's place filled him with unexpected joy. Like a afraid of startling this adorable little bird,
Qi Xinyuan didn't dare call out again, but instead sat down beside Sisi and silently watched TV.

"Sisi, come on, dinner's ready—" Qi Xinyu called out to the living room as she brought the food to the dining room.

"Coming—Auntie!" Sisi quickly sat up from the sofa and ran towards the dining room, her long ponytail
swinging behind her back, almost reaching her waist.

"Did you call your dad?" Qi Xinyu asked softly as she set out the chopsticks.

"No!" Sisi plopped down in a chair and picked up her chopsticks to eat!

"Are you still angry with your father?" Xinyu said coquettishly, then called out to the living room, "Xinyuan, come and eat!"

Qi Xinyuan slowly walked over and sat down next to Sisi, looking like a child who had done something wrong
. Qi Xinyu handed him a pair of chopsticks and gave him a wink. Qi Xinyuan understood and put
some food from his bowl into Sisi's bowl. Sisi didn't refuse; this silent fatherly love
began to melt the ice in her young heart. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face. Helpless, Qi Xinyuan
quickly grabbed a napkin from the table and handed it to Sisi. Sisi didn't take it, so Qi Xinyuan boldly
began to wipe away his daughter's tears. But wiping only made Sisi's tears flow like a broken string of pearls
. She sobbed, her small chest heaving.

Both Qi Xinyu and Qi Xinyuan were speechless. Sisi suddenly burst into tears and threw
herself into Qi Xinyuan's arms. Sisi felt like a leaf that had been drifting for a long time, finally finding its roots. She hugged Qi Xinyuan tightly and
sobbed.

Chapter 014 Such Punishment

Qi Xinyu dropped Sisi off at her adoptive parents' house. She stopped the car when she was quite a distance away.

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Sisi kissed Qi Xinyu in the car before she even got out. Qi Xinyu immediately
laughed as if she were drunk.

"Slow down, don't be afraid, Auntie will be here watching you come home." Qi Xinyu turned the car lights on brightly
, shining them all the way to her door. If she weren't worried about her adoptive parents' suspicions, Qi Xinyu would definitely have taken her to the mall
to buy some more clothes, but now, she couldn't spend money on her. Qi Xinyu watched Sisi enter the courtyard
before backing the car out. At this time, she guessed that Xinyuan must still be there. So she quickly
turned back. Sure enough, Qi Xinyuan was cleaning in her bathroom.

"Why use mine when you have your own!" Qi Xinyu glanced at Qi Xinyuan as he came out wrapped in a bath towel and said
.

"How did you trick her into coming here?" Qi Xinyuan had been curious about this.

"You're really rude. No wonder Sisi didn't want to see you. She wanted to come herself.
She suddenly called me this afternoon and said she missed me." Qi Xinyu sat on the sofa, leaning back with her
long legs draped over the armrest. Qi Xinyuan stood opposite her, drying his wet
hair with a towel. His hair was longer than some women's. As he moved his head, the bulge under the bath towel
swayed.

"Didn't you use any tricks?" Qi Xinyuan asked skeptically, walking over to the sofa and sitting down
next to Qi Xinyu.

"To keep her adoptive parents from finding out, she even made up a perfectly plausible excuse to stay for dinner."

"What excuse?"

"She said a classmate invited her to dinner for their birthday, and she specifically asked her adoptive father for ten yuan, saying it was to buy a
small souvenir for them."

"That's clever! How did a little kid learn such bad habits after just one interaction with you!"

"Don't praise me! Whose child is she?"

"It should be related to both of us!"

"She's not my biological daughter! By the way, haven't you seen Bai Hua these past few days?"

"Jealous?"

"Pfft! If she comes, I'll be jealous to death!"

"I was at her house when you texted me!"

"I knew you two would rekindle your romance! Be careful Xiao Rongrong finds out!"

"I didn't see her, only her mother was home."

"She must be a very beautiful woman, right?"

"Of course!"

"She didn't offer you a place to stay?" Qi Xinyu chuckled, her breasts
trembling under her shirt.

"Well, I should come here first! I thought you were going to offer me a place to stay!"

"Dream on!" Qi Xinyu's beautiful eyes fluttered with her long eyelashes. Qi Xinyuan let his wet hair
fall onto Qi Xinyu's chest, a few drops landing right on her protruding peaks.

"You bad boy!" Qi Xinyu pushed Xinyuan away with both hands, but Xinyuan still shamelessly
teased her with his long hair, and she pinched his bare thigh with one hand.

"Ouch—" Qi Xinyuan cried out, and Xinyu quickly let go. She bent over to look, and
the bruise from the last time she twisted her breasts hadn't disappeared yet. Qi Xinyu hurriedly started rubbing it.

"Where did you rub it! No! A little higher!" Qi Xinyuan stared at his sister's constantly swaying
chest.

"You little pervert, where are you looking!" Qi Xinyu's hand indeed moved up a bit and then twisted, her
phoenix eyes fixed on Xinyuan's eyes. "Do you want me to rub here?" Qi Xinyu's slender fingers slipped
under Qi Xinyuan's bath towel and pinched his penis, forcefully prying it open. Qi Xinyuan
had already been lustful at the sight of his sister's heaving breasts, and now, as she rubbed his legs, her body swayed, causing her two jade
peaks to sway, and through the tight buttons of her shirt, a few patches of snow-white skin were visible, clearly
indicating that she wasn't wearing anything. Whenever Qi Xinyuan was alone with her, she was always like this, her jade peaks
trembling with great elasticity, already arousing Qi Xinyuan's desire. Now, with his sister's slender hand
holding it like this, his manhood became even more restless, hardening and bulging in Qi Xinyu's palm.

"Oh my—sister's hands are so nice!" Qi Xinyuan stared greedily at Qi Xinyu, unable to get enough of her. Qi
Xinyu, her eyes hazy with intoxication, looked at him, her slender, delicate fingers lingering on Qi Xinyuan's penis. She
never rushed to let her brother enter her body. She always played with him until he was itching like an
ant on a hot pan before she would give in.

"Tell me, do you like Sisi now because of Baihua, or do you like Baihua because of Sisi
?" Qi Xinyu didn't stop her actions, staring at Qi Xinyuan as she asked.

"This sounds like a tongue twister! And the meaning is almost the same whether you turn it around or not!"

"Of course it's different, one is the goal, the other is the means!"

"But this doesn't seem to affect my feelings for you, sister, does it?"

"Isn't it because I brought you your daughter? Aren't you happy today?" Qi Xinyu let go of his hands,
straightened his towel, and said seriously.

"Happy, of course I'm happy, I've never been this happy before." With a mixture of gratitude and affection, Qi Xinyuan
hugged his sister Qi Xinyu tightly. His long, wet hair brushed against Qi Xinyu's face, making her feel
a little ticklish. She raised her hand and used her slender, fair fingers to brush the hair that had fallen across her face to one side.

"Even though Sisi didn't call you 'Dad' today, I could tell she has deep feelings for you
. Look at her crying in your arms, it was both heartbreaking and enviable!"

"Hehe, what's there to envy?"

"Well, what do you think? I really wish I could be Sisi all of a sudden, and cry my heart out in your arms, cry until the world turns upside down
, cry my guts out!"

"Don't say that, you don't have anything sad going on, how could you cry like that!"

"That's why I envy her." "

Anyway, Sisi's back, and you deserve some credit for that, I have to thank you properly!" "

How are you going to thank me? Just a set of underwear that costs less than three hundred yuan?"

"I'll stay here with you until dawn!"

"Then how are you going to explain this to Rongrong? I don't want you kneeling on the washboard when you get home, I feel sorry for you
!"

"We don't have a washboard at home!"

"How does Rongrong usually punish people? Tell me so I can see for myself!" Qi Xinyu asked curiously,
leaning forward and hooking her arms around Qi Xinyuan's neck. Her breath was sweet and her panting slightly made Qi Xinyuan
feel a little tipsy.

"She...she always makes me kneel between her legs and tortures my lips and tongue!"

"My poor little brother, you've really had a hard life! How could she be so cruel!" Qi Xinyu lovingly
stroked Qi Xinyuan's face. Suddenly, a phone rang, startling Qi Xinyu. "Is Rongrong
calling you back?"

"No, I told her I have a class reunion tonight, a rare get-together, it might last until dawn,
so I didn't want her to wait for me." As he spoke, Qi Xinyuan took out his phone. It was Bai Hua.

"Are you free now?" Bai Hua asked on the phone.

"Yes, go ahead."

"Where are you? Can I see you?"

"I..." Qi Xinyuan hesitated. Qi Xinyu snatched the phone away.

"Is this Bai Hua? I'm Xin Yu, Xin Yuan's older sister. Xin Yuan is with me!"

Chapter 015 If you still consider me your sister, then stay here tonight.

"How could you let her come here?" Qi Xin Yuan was a little upset with his sister for making such a decision. He had finally
managed to get a day off from Xiao Rongrong, and if Bai Hua came along today, everything would be ruined.

"What's wrong with that? I'm your sister, so of course she has to call me sister too. Can't I let my former sister-in-law
come over for a visit?" Qi Xin Yu put the phone away and handed it back to Xin Yuan.

"If she comes, can I... still... stay here? Aren't you just being ridiculous?"

"Do you really want her to stay here one night? Looks like you're really not going to give up? You'd better
think this through, there's still Xiao Rongrong over there. Besides, do you really want to
rekindle your old flame right under my nose?"

"..." Qi Xinyuan hesitated. The call had already been made, and everything was beyond repair,
so Qi Xinyuan quickly grabbed his clothes and put them on. Qi Xinyu, however, was undressing as she walked towards her bathroom.
After a few steps, she threw her white shirt into Qi Xinyuan's arms. Turning back,
her ample breasts suddenly trembled, dazzling Qi Xinyuan's eyes. Qi Xinyuan brought the shirt to his nose
and sniffed it. The shirt had a unique fragrance that could make a man's soul melt. Qi Xinyuan felt that this
twin sister was becoming increasingly unbelievable. He covered his face with his sister's shirt and lay stiffly on
the sofa.

The doorbell rang, snapping Qi Xinyuan out of his reverie. He realized it must be Bai Hua
. He quickly moved his sister's shirt aside and got up to open the door for her. Bai Hua wore a short, knitted
dress; the two open panels at the chest not only couldn't conceal her ample bosom but also accentuated her femininity. The dress hugged her
waist perfectly, creating a smooth curve between her slender waist and shapely hips.
Her long, flowing hair seemed to proclaim that she was still single.

"May I come in?" Bai Hua's politeness masked her excitement. This was the second time she had seen Qi
Xinyuan's sister. When they were still in school, Qi Xinyu had visited her brother at the school, and at that
time, Qi Xinyuan was drawing Bai Hua's portrait. So, they must have remembered each other. In fact, that
visit had left a very deep impression on Qi Xinyu. Even when Qi Xinyu saw
the portrait her brother had drawn of Sisi, she could immediately recognize how much Sisi resembled her mother.

"Come in!" Qi Xinyuan stepped aside to let Bai Hua enter, close to him. Bai Hua didn't
see the woman on the phone, so she naturally looked around the house.

"Where's your sister?" Having not seen Qi Xinyu in the living room, she assumed she had gone outside
, and immediately felt grateful to her sister. Because if Qi Xinyu had
made room for her and Qi Xinyuan to be alone, it undoubtedly meant that Qi Xinyu's heart still leaned towards
her feelings.

"My sister is taking a shower."

Before Bai Hua even sat down, her heart suddenly sank! She didn't think she was being presumptuous, but she felt that her
sister was heartless.

"Did you go to Sisi's house?" Bai Hua wanted to get straight to the point, and even in front of Qi Xinyuan,
she didn't want to show any desire to spend time alone with him. Her heart yearned for it,
but her pride made her desperately hide it.

"Yes, I went. The child isn't quite there yet, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait!"

This all seemed to be within Bai Hua's expectations. An abandoned child couldn't possibly be without
resentment towards her biological parents. Sisi's pride was probably even stronger than Bai Hua's. Although she had never spent time with her,
Bai Hua could sense this from Sisi's eyes. So, hearing Qi Xinyuan say that Sisi hadn't accepted them yet, she
wasn't surprised at all.

"The day Sisi arrives at your house, I... will be nothing!" For some reason
, Bai Hua suddenly felt tears welling up. She tilted her head back, widening her eyes, as if trying to hold back the tears
. Qi Xinyuan held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be pessimistic. No matter what, you're still her mother,
and no one can change that!"

Bai Hua smiled bitterly, "So what? I endured ten months of humiliation to give birth to her, but I can't even
hear her call me 'Mom'!" Bai Hua shook her head, looking very distressed.

"If you can't stand it, I can talk to Xiao Rongrong again."

"Forget it. You have to reap what you sow. Xiao Rongrong has already done a
good job. Making her the mother of her rival's child is really difficult for her!"

The bathroom door opened, and Qi Xinyu, wrapped in a white bath towel,
walked towards the living room while smoothing her hair with her hand. She was a very casual person, and even when she had guests, she wouldn't be too formal. Of course,
she could only be like that with people she allowed to come. The pristine white bath towel was almost as white as her skin, only her
skin was even more delicate. The towel, tightly bound to her breasts, pressed her two jade-like peaks together so tightly that
there wasn't even a slit.

"This is Bai Hua," Qi Xinyuan introduced.

"Sister," Bai Hua quickly stood up and greeted her respectfully.

"Please sit down," Qi Xinyu smiled at Bai Hua, gesturing for her to sit, while she herself sat
down on a chair nearby, her two snow-white legs crossed. However, the bath towel covered a large portion of her legs,
revealing nothing but suggestive details.

"We've met before, haven't we? I think it was in your art studio?" Qi Xinyu tried to make
the atmosphere in the room more relaxed.

"Yes, sister, your memory is amazing! You remember things so clearly from so many years ago!"

"Exquisite people are always easy to remember!" Qi Xinyu smiled, bending down to take a cigarette from the pack on the coffee table
and lighting it. She rarely smoked, but after each shower, she felt a strong urge
to smoke. Her slender fingers held the long cigarette, exhaling smoke with elegance and leisure.

Qi Xinyu's praise made Bai Hua's face flush. She smiled shyly, "If someone like me,
unwanted by anyone, is considered exquisite, then what level must I be, sister?"

"Hehe, I'm unwanted too!" Whether to avoid making Bai Hua feel lonely or to try and
get closer to her, Qi Xinyu deliberately placed herself in the "unwanted" category.

"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean it. I was really talking about myself!" Bai Hua never expected that
when she was talking about herself, she would accidentally include the person she wanted to flatter. Now her face turned even redder, and she
felt a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, that's just how my sister is, she talks a lot, no holds barred."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, my sister isn't like that. But, on the surface, it seems like nobody wants us, but
actually, the men in this world are just too low-class. We can't settle for anyone else." Qi Xinyu
puffed out smoke rings, one inside the other, feeling quite pleased with herself. Her red lips as she exhaled the smoke rings easily
evoked certain thoughts in Qi Xinyuan.

Bai Hua, seeing Qi Xinyu wrapped in a bath towel, felt she seemed eager to go to sleep, so she
stood up to say goodbye.

"I have to go, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"It's alright, if you still consider me your sister, stay here tonight! You two chat, I'm going
to sleep first!" With that, Qi Xinyu smiled at Bai Hua, stood up, and walked towards her bedroom. Her full, shapely
buttocks swayed with each step, extremely alluring…

Chapter 016 Still Staying

Qi Xinyu's tone, both warm and irresistible, made Bai Hua
somewhat conflicted. She looked up at Qi Xinyuan, hoping to find the answer in his eyes.

"If my sister wants you to stay, then stay. Otherwise, she'll think you don't respect her as your sister!" Qi
Xinyuan certainly hoped Bai Hua would stay and spend the night with him, but without Qi Xinyu's permission, he wouldn't
make the decision on his own. Besides, his sister was also a woman; this was the first time a younger brother had allowed such a beautiful woman to stay at her place
. It seems the older sister still has feelings for Bai Hua, perhaps because she gave birth to the
obedient Si Si, making Qi Xinyu grateful to her? Actually, Qi Xinyuan isn't entirely clear about his
somewhat strange twin sister's thoughts either.

For Bai Hua, Qi Xinyuan is practically her only lifeline as a woman. Since their first
encounter, she hasn't been able to imagine another man. In her heart,
no other man can make her as infatuated and ecstatic as Qi Xinyuan. Even knowing
he's married and has children, she's still so devoted to him. She's been living overseas
for so many years, and although Qi Xinyuan has offered her almost no comfort, she can't let him go. Sometimes
she even wonders if she's being too pathetic, but there's nothing she can do; other men can't evoke
any feelings in her. This is precisely the reason she's remained chaste for Qi Xinyuan for over a decade. Having
waited for him for so many years, she didn't mind waiting a few more days. Once Sisi's matter was settled, she believed she would
have another chance to see Xinyuan alone. Besides, they had already shared a passionate encounter the moment they met, and now they were at his
sister's house. This strange, single woman made her a little scared.

"I'd better go back. My mom will worry about me!" Bai Hua said, offering a weak reason.

"You've been alone in America for over ten years and you've managed. She won't lose sleep just because you're here, will she
? If you ask me, your mom can only sleep if you stay." Qi Xinyuan leaned closer, his lips almost touching
Bai Hua's ear, his breath making her yearn for him. Qi Xinyuan was right.
She was over thirty and still single; of course, her mother was worried. She had long hoped her daughter would get married
. If she went out on a date and didn't come back, it meant she was staying at a man's house or going somewhere to have fun—
which was exactly what her mother hoped for. She had only been back a few days when her mother repeatedly urged her
to stay in a hotel, just to make her mother happy. Now, finally, she had a chance.
Even if she didn't sleep in the same bed as Qi Xinyuan, it would still be considered spending the night with a man, which would give her more confidence in front of her mother.

"Your sister, she..." Bai Hua was still wary of Qi Xinyu. The arrogance and willfulness on her face made Bai Hua feel
that this woman seemed even more difficult to deal with than Xiao Rongrong, and not easy to mess with.

"Didn't you see her sour face? She'll be unhappy if you leave. That's just how she is. If you
don't appreciate her kindness, you'll become her enemy!" Qi Xinyuan threatened Bai Hua. He knew that, whether
for Sisi or for herself, Qi Xinyu was a crucial force that Bai Hua had to win over.

"Where will I sleep?" Bai Hua asked, giving Qi Xinyuan a reproachful look.

"The house is so big, you don't have to worry about where you sleep. We're husband and wife, of course we have to sleep in the same bed!"
Qi Xinyuan smiled and pulled Bai Hua into his arms.

"No, your sister will see!" Bai Hua hurriedly pulled away from Qi Xinyuan's embrace.

"You were calling me 'sister' so sweetly just now, and now you're calling me 'your sister'?" Qi Xinyuan's
words made Bai Hua's face burn. Even she herself felt a little petty. She stopped struggling
and buried her face in Qi Xinyuan's chest.

"If you don't go back, won't your wife hold a grudge?" Bai Hua was worried about Xiao Rongrong on one hand, and on the other
hand, she didn't want Qi Xinyuan to be caught in the middle. Now Bai Hua felt a little guilty, she was even afraid that if Qi Xinyuan
went elsewhere and fooled around with other women, Xiao Rongrong would suspect her. If it weren't for Sisi,
she wouldn't care so much. But for her daughter's happiness, she could only compromise.

"Who cares about her? As long as I can be with you, I'll risk everything!" Qi Xinyuan deliberately wanted to test Bai Hua.

Bai Hua suddenly sat up from Qi Xinyuan's lap, her voice serious. "I don't want to break up your family! You
should go back quickly. It's not that I'm afraid of your wife, but after seeing her that day, I felt she was truly a good woman,
someone you should cherish. If I've already hurt her, it was absolutely unintentional, because I didn't
know about your previous relationship. But now, I can't hurt her a second time!" Bai Hua was speaking from the heart.
She had promised Xiao Rongrong, right there in Xiao Rongrong's office. Although they hadn't sworn an oath, their conversation
seemed to have clearly defined their respective spheres of influence. If Bai Hua couldn't keep her promise, she couldn't
guarantee her daughter's happiness.

"You made a promise to her?" Qi Xinyuan couldn't help but ask. Bai Hua shook her head, concealing her bewilderment.

"Then why? You came all this way back just for your daughter, Sisi. Haven't you thought about yourself at all
?" Qi Xinyuan asked, puzzled. He felt that even without Sisi, he would still love Bai Hua as always
.

Bai Hua suddenly frowned, her eyes brimming with tears. "What good would it do if I considered it? Can I control
everything on my own? The person I love is already married. What am I supposed to do?" Bai Hua
bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, feeling deeply wronged.

"I believe marriage can't stop our love. When we made our vows in the art studio,
we weren't married yet. Did you just want to get a certificate to prove our marital relationship?"
Qi Xinyuan was also agitated; his hands trembled slightly. But he suddenly realized he shouldn't have been angry with Bai Hua.
She was the one who had been hurt the most over the years, so he changed his tone and apologized. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been
angry with you. Go wash up and go to sleep. You have to believe me, I will always love you!" Qi Xinyuan leaned in and
kissed Bai Hua's fair face, all the way to her eyelashes.

"Look, with these tears, you've really become a beautiful woman with tears streaming down your face!" Qi Xinyuan
said playfully, turning away and looking at Bai Hua's face. Bai Hua chuckled.

"Does your sister hate it when others use her bathroom?"

"I use her bathroom too!"

"You're her brother, of course it's different!"

"You're her sister-in-law, if you don't want to use it, there's a room too."

"Then I'll go to the room!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll sneak up on you while you're showering?"

"Don't even think about it! I'll lock the door tight! I'll leave you, you little pervert, hanging out here anxiously!" Bai
Hua gave Qi Xinyuan's nose a sharp smack. Her body jerked, and her breasts
bounced restlessly beneath her thin shirt.

"Don't forget, you have to wash everything I use spotlessly!"

"Get lost!" Bai Hua shyly twisted her body, but Qi Xinyuan scooped her up and carried her to a
room.
