Jin Xueli passed by the place where Jin Ke’er was staying and watched her sister furiously smash everything around her to pieces.
“What, here to laugh at me?”
When Jin Ke’er saw Jin Xueli, flames of anger instantly ignited in her eyes.
Her fingers dug hard into the armrests of her wheelchair, her fingertips turning pale.
She glared at Jin Xueli furiously, her chest heaving violently. A sickly flush spread across her pale face, and her teeth ground together with an audible grating sound.
“No, I was just a little worried about you, Sister.”
“Heh, worried?
Hearing those words come from your mouth is truly a rare sight.”
Jin Ke’er sneered. Jin Xueli looked at Jin Ke’er’s disheveled appearance and suddenly felt that the person before her looked a bit pathetic.
And a bit pitiable too.
She couldn’t help but think of the person who had driven a sports car to pick up Su Li tonight.
That person carried a calm and steady aura, as if nothing in the world could trouble her.
Compared to her sister, a personality like that seemed more suited to being the leader of a family.
But Jin Xueli also knew she shouldn’t be too harsh on Jin Ke’er.
After all, a lazy dog like herself still had to live under the protection of someone like Jin Ke’er.
If Jin Ke’er couldn’t hold on, no one in the Jin Family could stabilize their current foundation, and her own dream of living a comfortable, carefree life like now would naturally be impossible.
Jin Ke’er noticed Jin Xueli’s gaze landing on her disabled legs, and instantly felt a mix of shame and fury.
She pounded the armrest of her wheelchair violently and said in an angry tone:
“Had enough looking?”
Jin Xueli’s faint, almost imperceptible look of pity gnawed at her pride like a venomous snake, making her want to lunge forward and tear that face apart.
“Sister, take care of yourself.”
With that, Jin Xueli rose and departed.
She paid no further attention to Jin Ke’er, letting the other woman hurl nearby objects in her direction without the slightest concern.
Moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the room. Silver light flowed like water over the leather sofa and marble tea table, casting dappled shadows on the Persian carpet.
The crystal chandelier refracted tiny fragments of starlight, interweaving with the neon lights outside the window into a hazy, dreamlike glow.
Su Li followed Bai Huizi’s orders and carried her down from the wheelchair.
Unlike Jin Ke’er’s somewhat thin legs from sitting in a wheelchair for so long, Bai Huizi’s legs were full and soft.
When Su Li lifted her, her fingers sank right into the flesh, and squeezing them felt very pleasant.
Su Li carried Bai Huizi back into the room and placed her on the soft large bed.
But Bai Huizi tightly wrapped her arms around Su Li’s neck, and as Su Li moved to set her down, she pulled Su Li down with her. Their figures overlapped on the plush bed.
“Sister has been waiting for this moment for a very long time.”
Bai Huizi held Su Li’s neck and said with utter seriousness.
Her small nose gently sniffed near Su Li’s lips, and only after confirming that Su Li had rinsed her mouth clean did she slowly lean in to kiss her.
Then she firmly sealed Su Li’s mouth with her own.
Su Li did not resist Bai Huizi’s advances.
From the moment she had arrived here, she had prepared herself thoroughly.
Bai Huizi looked at her with tender eyes, a trace of misty moisture mingled within her gaze.
She had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.
For some reason, during the time she had been away from Su Li, every night Bai Huizi lay in bed, and Su Li’s figure would always appear in her dreams.
She suddenly began to wonder.
If she had met Su Li when she was a child, what kind of scene would it have been?
It would have been something very happy, wouldn’t it?
If only she could have met Su Li earlier.
They could have done so many interesting things together.
Su Li could have followed behind her, acting as her little sidekick.
That way, whatever orders she gave, Su Li would obediently comply.
She wouldn’t have to face so many things that disgusted her, nor so many people she loathed.
They could have grown up together.
And with Su Li by her side, even if her mother never cast a glance her way, she could still find a center of gravity.
She could place her focus on Su Li instead of striving for a mother’s love that could never exist.
With Su Li’s personality, she would probably have been the same even as a child, right?
The current Su Li would obediently listen for the sake of a few tens of thousands of yuan.
Then what about a young Su Li? Would she follow orders for a few yuan or a delicate piece of candy?
Bai Huizi’s slender fingers gently stroked Su Li’s face.
She could sense that the young Su Li probably wasn’t much different from the Su Li of now.
Both of them would have been equally well-behaved.
Equally obedient and cooperative.
And if she wasn’t obedient, that was fine too.
As a child, she had more money than other children.
She could obtain things that other children could never possess in their entire lives.
She could give Su Li so, so much money.
“Su Li…”
Bai Huizi softly murmured Su Li’s name, her voice trembling slightly.
If life could be lived over again, she would definitely have Su Li firmly tied to her side from childhood.
Su Li looked at her with a calm expression, no significant emotional fluctuations on her face.
“I’m here.”
Feeling the moist sensation on her lips.
Su Li still replied to Bai Huizi mechanically.
She knew what responses would make Bai Huizi feel more comfortable.
Even though Bai Huizi appeared extremely dominant in front of outsiders, this time, it was not Bai Huizi who led everything.
Su Li knew that no matter how forceful Bai Huizi was before others, at this very moment she was like a little girl.
Allowing herself to be guided, and this was exactly what Bai Huizi liked about her.
She knew what to do to make Bai Huizi happy.
Su Li also knew what to do to make Bai Huizi slowly sink deeper and deeper.
Time quietly slipped away.
The light in the room gradually dimmed.
Pristine moonlight shone through the window into the room.
“Hug~”
Bai Huizi released the hand that was holding Su Li’s, opened her arms wide, and pouted coaxingly.
Only when Su Li nestled into her embrace did she tightly hold Su Li close.
After hugging for just a moment, Bai Huizi shifted to snuggle against Su Li’s chest, then curled up in her arms.
Her cheek pressed against Su Li’s warm neck, and her breathing gradually steadied.
The faint scent of Su Li’s body completely relaxed her taut nerves.
Her fingertips unconsciously clutched at the hem of Su Li’s clothes, as if that could lock this sense of security firmly in place.
Moonlight spilled in from outside the window. Listening to Su Li’s even heartbeat, she finally sank into a dreamless sleep.
From beginning to end, Su Li’s expression never changed.
She treated it like completing a difficult task.
But since things had proceeded as she had predicted, she was quite satisfied.
At least the evening’s earnings hadn’t been delayed because of Jin Ke’er’s situation.
She still had other work to do tomorrow, after all.
She gently smoothed Bai Huizi’s hair and slowly drifted off into dreamland herself.
