V2: Chapter 123: Your Sister Likes You!
“Mama, hug me!” Carol opened her little arms and hugged Liang Lin's neck tightly, trying to awaken her maternal love with a hug.
However, Liang Lin still wouldn't let go of Carol, repeating the same question: “Carol, do you love Mama more, or Mommy more? If you had to live with one person, who would you live with?”
Carol: “.....”
This is awful! I feel like dying. I really want to die right now and be reborn!
Carol opened her little mouth and started laughing, “Mama, Mama, kiss! Kiss me!”
Saying this, she pouted her little lips and kissed Liang Lin's cheek.
Smack!
One kiss.
Smack!
Another kiss.
Smack!
Another kiss.
Is that enough now? Using kisses to avoid the question, I've kissed her so many times, she's probably already forgotten about the question, right?
"Carol, wait a minute before kissing Mama. Answer Mama's question first."
Carol: "....."
I can't hold it in anymore, fuck this family.
Just then, Carol's smile vanished, replaced by a downturned mouth and tear-filled eyes. She opened her mouth, and then a loud cry burst from her throat.
"Waaah..."
"Waaah waaah waaah waaah waaah waaah...!"
Carol raised her little hand, wiping the tears streaming down her face, looking extremely wronged, her cries growing louder and louder. Seeing this, Liang Lin panicked.
"Oh dear, you were fine just now, you were even smiling, why are you suddenly crying?" Liang Lin frantically pulled a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her daughter's tears.
But Carol's crying didn't stop, probably because she was afraid that if she stopped crying, Liang Lin would continue to ask those tricky questions.
Helpless, Liang Lin carried Carol to her desk, where a maid had prepared candies. Liang Lin grabbed a pink one and popped it into Carol's mouth.
Regarding her fondness for sweets, it wasn't like Liang Lin, but more like Liang Di. Liang Lin had long noticed Carol's love for sweets; a small cake or a piece of candy was all it took to soothe her when she cried or fussed.
Carol, with the candy in her mouth, smacked her lips a couple of times and gradually quieted down, her crying ceasing.
"Phew~"
Liang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this was her daughter, her crying and fussing still bothered her. When Carol cried, she was like a little devil, frightening Liang Lin.
At this moment, Liang Lin realized...
"You just didn't want to answer Mama's question, did you?"
She puffed out her cheeks, frowned, and stared at her daughter in her arms. She reached out and pinched her daughter's chubby cheek hard.
"What a naughty child."
Whether she understood Liang Lin's words or Liang Lin pinched too hard and hurt Carol, the child winced, tears welling in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, alright, alright, I won't scold you anymore, I won't pinch you anymore." Liang Lin released her hand.
"Sigh~"
Watching little Carol happily eating candy on the bed, Liang Lin rested her chin on her hand and sighed silently.
“Carol, I know you really want me and you Mommy to take care of you together, but... well... it’s not something I can decide, hmm...”
Liang Lin rolled her eyes, looking at the ceiling.
“These things depend on your Mommy’s behavior. If she behaves well, I might be in a good mood and agree to take care of you with her, right? Of course, it’s all uncertain~”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Natalie finally made a move.
“I must let Miss Liang Lin know that her sister has ulterior motives for her!”
Natalie stood in front of the Langwendi mansion, clenched her fists, shook them vigorously up and down twice, looked up at the sky, and cheered herself on.
"Miss Liang Lin, Miss Natalie is here again."
Liang Lin was playing with Carol at the moment. Hearing this, she felt a little annoyed. She didn't understand why this woman kept coming to see her. She had been so cold and sarcastic, but the woman still wouldn't let it go. Could it be that she had some strange quirk, enjoying being teased and sarcastic?
"Alright, I understand."
Liang Lin sighed, lifted her skirt, and went downstairs.
She had just seen Natalie and hadn't even uttered a greeting when Natalie grabbed her arm. The woman winked mysteriously at Liang Lin.
"Miss Liang Lin, I have something very important to tell you."
"Wh.... what is it?" Liang Lin was bewildered.
Why is it all so mysterious right after we met?
However, seeing Natalie's tense expression, Liang Lin also became nervous.
Could it be that something really important? Had she discovered something important and was going to give it to me?
Natalie glanced around, noticing the maids present. She winked at Liang Lin twice, then shook her head. "It's not suitable here. There are too many people, and too many people will talk. What I'm about to say... well, it wouldn't be good if others heard it."
Oh?
Could it really be some secret unknown to others? Is it some very important confidentiality?
Liang Lin also became serious. "Since it's important, I'll go call Liang Di."
Natalie's hand trembled, and she immediately gripped Liang Lin's arm even tighter.
"No, no, no, you can't call her." Natalie shook her head vigorously.
"Why?"
Liang Lin wanted to explain that Liang Di wasn't an outsider.
"Because this matter is related to Miss Liang Di!" Natalie exclaimed excitedly, raising her voice slightly. Realizing that no one was paying attention, she immediately covered her mouth, glancing left and right before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Related to Liang Di?
Liang Lin became even more nervous.
Could Natalie have discovered Liang Di's secret of being a monster?
That would be a huge problem. She had to immediately inform Liang Di and have her use a memory-erasing magic. This kind of thing couldn't be known by outsiders.
"Miss Liang Lin, come with me for a moment. Let's talk somewhere where no one is around."
Liang Lin hesitated for a second, then nodded in agreement.
It wouldn't hurt to listen.
If she really had discovered that Liang Di was a monster, she could immediately tell Liang Di and use magic directly; there wouldn't be any danger or loss.
"Then come with me."
Liang Lin led Natalie to her study, opening the door to find it filled with classical books and expensive antique vases.
"There's no one else here, you can speak now."
After confirming no one was eavesdropping, Natalie gently closed the door.
"Miss Liang Lin, what I'm about to tell you might be hard to believe, but it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can investigate, and you'll find that what I'm saying is indeed true."
To be honest, Natalie was somewhat uncertain before telling this story.
What if Liang Lin didn't believe her? No normal person would believe a younger sister liking her older sister, right? Especially since the other person was the main character in the story; even if it were true, no one would want to accept it.
Liang Lin was confused by what she was saying, and her brows furrowed even deeper, almost locking together.
"It's alright, just tell me first. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? If it's really similar to what I think, then of course I'll believe you."
Liang Lin felt the other person was being a bit long-winded; after all this time, not a single useful word had been uttered.
"Alright then… Miss Liang Lin, what I'm about to say might have some impact on your life, but if I don't tell you, I'll worry about your future…"
Liang Lin struggled to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. She let out a heavy sigh; her temper was already on the verge of exploding. She really couldn't stand people who dawdled.
If you have something to say, just say it already! Why waste time and emotions by stammering and beating around the bush?
"Just tell me already, Miss Natalie. If you don't tell me soon, I'm leaving."
Liang Lin really didn't want to stay any longer; if she did, she figured she'd want to overturn the table in front of her.
"Okay."
Natalie finally stopped dawdling. She stared at Liang Lin with a determined look.
"Miss Liang Lin, I've discovered that your sister, Liang Di, might... like you!"
The room suddenly fell silent. Liang Lin's eyes widened slowly, and she gasped.
Damn, how did she find out?
But then again, Liang Di's feelings for her have always been very obvious. It's normal for others to find out.
No, I'll have to scold Liang Di later and tell her to tone it down in public. She can cause a ruckus at home, but not outside. It'll ruin her reputation, after all, we're sisters.
Natalie had been observing Liang Lin's expression. She saw shock on Liang Lin's face.
Ah... this is something Miss Liang Lin didn't expect. I wonder if she'll believe me.
Natalie grasped Liang Lin's hand, which was raised to her chest.
