“No.” Lian Zixin’s voice immediately rose, tinged with a hint of panic. However, upon noticing the peculiar look Lian Mengzhu shot her way, she swiftly controlled her emotions, wearing a masked smile on her face. “Sis, what’s on your mind? Let’s not talk about anything else. The age gap between me and Miss Ye is so significant; how could there be any connection!”

Lian Mengzhu’s gaze remained fixed on Lian Zixin, allowing her to detect something awry. She squinted suspiciously and asked, “Zixin, your behavior today is truly peculiar. It seems your emotions have been off since you laid eyes on that bracelet. What’s going on?”

She knew her sister, enabling her to sense that Zixin’s actions today were exceptionally strange. There must be a secret she wasn’t privy to.

“I’m perfectly fine,” Lian Zixin promptly denied, her tone assertive. “Sister, don’t overthink it. And if there were truly something wrong, how could I not tell you?”

Lian Mengzhu furrowed her brow, not entirely convinced by Lian Zixin’s words. Yet, she could discern that Zixin had no intention of revealing the truth. Continuing the conversation would likely prove futile.

“Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t press you.” Lian Mengzhu sighed. “But, if there’s something, remember to tell me. I’m your sister, and regardless of what happens, I’ll protect you.”

Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, a glint of emotion flashed in Lian Zixin’s eyes. She gazed at Lian Mengzhu and suddenly asked, “Sis, if in the future, you discover I’ve done something wrong, would you forgive me?”

“What are you talking about!” Lian Mengzhu gently patted Lian Zixin’s hand, smiling. “From childhood to now, I’ve never held any of the absurd things you’ve done against you. You’re my only sister. Even if you genuinely make a mistake, do you think l t d sever ties with you?”

Despite Lian Mengzhu’s reassuring words, Lian Zixin showed no sign of relief. She unexpectedly grasped Lian Mengzhu’s hand, her tone unintentionally tense. “Sis, what if the mistake I make harms you? Would you still forgive

“Zixin, what’s going on with you?” Lian Mengzhu looked at her tightly held wrist, expressing confusion. “You’re acting so strangely today. What did you do? Tell me, and I’ll listen.’

“It’s nothing.” Lian Zixin released her grip, forcing a smile. “I just feel like sometimes I act without considering the consequences. I might inadvertently do something that hurts you. I’m afraid you’ll be angry with me for that.”

“Zixin, you’re overthinking it.” Lian Mengzhu smiled and shook her head. “As you said, it’s unintentional. I might get upset, but I won’t hold it against you forever. After all, we’re sisters!”

Instead of easing, Lian Zixin’s mood grew heavier after hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words.

“Sis, I’m a bit tired. I want to rest for a while,” Lian Zixin said. “Probably because I didn’t sleep well last night, I feel quite dazed now.”

“Then rest up!” Lian Mengzhu responded with concern. “After you wake up, I’ll have someone bring you some supplements. Your body is quite weak, and you need proper nourishment.”

Once outside the room, Lian Mengzhu’s doubts persisted, if not intensified. The recent conversation confirmed that Zixin harbored a secret, likely connected to her. However, Zixin’s reluctance to share was evident. Even as her sister, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t force her to reveal it.

Outside the door, Lian Mengzhu was filled with uncertainty, while inside the room, Lian Zixin’s mood remained far from settled.

She lay silently on the bed, unable to find sleep. Claiming to want to rest earlier was merely an excuse. She didn’t want Lian Mengzhu to keep probing, fearing she might inadvertently spill the beans..
