V2: Chapter 124: Am I Angry? I was Just Pretending
"Miss Liang Lin, I know you're shocked and can't believe it, but please believe me, I'm not joking with you, and I'm not lying."
Natalie said earnestly, "If you really can't accept it, I can go with you to verify it. Then you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not."
Seeing that Natalie was about to say something more...
"Wait, wait, wait, wait." Liang Lin pulled her hand away from Natalie's. "You, how did you find out about this?"
Looking at the shocked Liang Lin, Natalie sighed, looking at her with immense sympathy.
Sure enough, no normal person could accept the fact that their sister liked them! It's normal to be hard to accept right away; at this time, it's time to make a good impression.
"It's obvious, Miss Liang Lin."
Natalie began to speak eloquently.
“From the way she looked at you, to the special care she gave you, it wasn’t the behavior of a younger sister towards an older sister… it was more like the behavior of a lover, someone you like.”
Natalie suddenly looked at Liang Lin with a particularly adoring gaze.
“That look, including those actions, I understand them very well, because…”
She trailed off, leaving other with endless room for interpretation.
“Uh…”
Liang Lin felt a sudden surge of anger.
Liang Di’s behavior was indeed very obvious; it was no wonder people noticed. Anyone with a little observation could see it.
Damn it!
She’d drag that white-haired girl over and give her a good talking-to, so she’d be more restrained in the future!
“Miss Liang Lin, if you don’t believe me, I can take you to verify…”
“No need.”
Liang Lin didn’t want outsiders to know about this. After all, she and Liang Di were nominally sisters, and it wouldn’t sound good if word got out. The idea of two women having an affair is outrageous enough, let alone being nominal sisters. If word gets out, they'll become the talk of the town.
“Miss Natalie…” Liang Lin said slowly, “I hope you won’t go around spreading this kind of thing. Liang Di and I are, after all, sisters in name only. Although we’re not related by blood, if outsiders hear about it, they’ll gossip behind our backs.”
After saying this, she paused, her eyes filled with warning as she looked at Natalie.
“I think, Miss Natalie, you should know these things better than I do, right? This isn’t just about my reputation, but also about the reputation of the Langwendi family. You know, we nobles have always been very concerned about our reputation.”
Natalie met the other’s slightly emotional gaze, and a sudden chill ran down her spine. Her scalp began to tingle, and she felt a silent threat in the other’s eyes, as if she would be killed if she told anyone.
Killing her wasn’t the likely outcome, but if Natalie really said she would, Liang Lin would show her the true strength of a fist.
“Miss Liang, Miss Liang Lin, don’t worry, of course I won’t tell anyone about this.” Natalie’s smile was somewhat unnatural. She had a feeling it wasn’t her imagination; Liang Lin’s words were a threat.
“It’s good that you won’t tell anyone.”
Liang Lin withdrew her threatening gaze. “As for taking me to verify anything, that’s completely unnecessary.”
“…Huh?”
Natalie asked, puzzled.
Liang Lin had seemed quite shocked just now, so why was it unnecessary now?
“Miss Liang Lin, you…”
“I think this kind of thing.... Miss Natalie, my sister and I have a very good relationship. You’re overthinking it, aren’t you?”
Liang Lin’s threatening gaze returned.
“Miss Natalie, I can easily say that you’re spreading rumors about my sister, and that you want to ruin her reputation.”
Natalie choked.
Liang Lin’s gaze was cold, devoid of any emotion, even carrying a hint of disgust.
Sure enough, Liang Lin still don’t believe me.
However, Natalie expressed her understanding. Liang Di was her sister, and it was normal to feel angry if someone said her sister had romantic feelings for her.
Sigh…
Natalie, however, became even more determined. She clenched her fists, placed them on her chest, and looked at Liang Lin with unwavering eyes.
“Miss Liang Lin, don’t worry!”
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
Liang Lin: “???”
She scratched the back of her head, her brows furrowing deeper.
What the hell? Why is she talking so incoherently?
It’s completely baffling. She didn’t like this woman before, and now she likes her even less.
Liang Lin muttered to herself for a while, cursing, before going to find Liang Di.
Bang!
“Hey!”
Liang Lin kicked open the door to Liang Di’s study without knocking, storming into the room. She raised both hands high and slammed them heavily on the table.
Clatter!
The teacup on the table shook, spilling some tea.
"W-what's wrong? Sister Liang Lin?"
Liang Di was working when Liang Lin's sudden outburst startled her, making her jump to her feet. She became timid and hesitant, blinking like a helpless little rabbit.
"Liang Di, I'm telling you, don't go too far out there!" Liang Lin's words were abrupt and cryptic; who could understand what she was saying?
Sure enough, Liang Di didn't understand. Her mind went blank for a moment, then she racked her brains trying to recall what mistakes she had made recently. But after thinking for a long time, her brain was practically overheating, and she couldn't find a single trace of wrongdoing.
Helpless, she had no choice but to ask her.
"Sister Liang Lin, what did I do wrong?" Liang Di asked in a very soft voice.
After asking that question, she realized it wasn't appropriate and quickly added, "I... I... I'm really quite stupid. I don't know what I did wrong, but...but as long as you tell me, Sister Liang Lin, I'll definitely change! I'm not the kind of person who doesn't correct their mistakes. As long as it makes Sister Liang Lin happy, I... I... I'm willing to do anything! Yes! Everything is for Sister Liang Lin's happiness!"
Her words were incoherent.
For a moment, Liang Lin was speechless.
Liang Di looked so adorable, flustered and helpless, her two big, bright blue eyes still wet, like a little deer.
"..."
She felt a strange sense of guilt.
Liang Di's appearance always made Liang Lin feel that being harsh with her was a terrible, heinous crime. Thinking this way, she instantly lost her anger.
But!
But in order to prevent her from being too conspicuous in public, I have to continue pretending to be angry!
"Ahem!"
Liang Lin coughed twice forcefully, her dazed expression turning serious once more, but her next words sounded like she was teasing the other person.
"Don't you know what you did wrong?"
"No, I don't know..." Liang Di became even more nervous, her small hands twisting tightly together, staring expectantly at the villainous young lady in front of her.
