Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Although Xi Xian repeatedly reminded herself that her legitimate sister was not even her biological sister, and that she was taking advantage of her position to do overbearing and tormenting things, that there was nothing to pity…… but yet she couldn’t help but think of her, and complex and unspeakable feelings would inevitably swarm into the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, although in this life she believed that it was unlikely to be the same as in the past life, Xi Xian also didn’t dare to avoid her question yet again, not answering, or being capricious.
Xi Xian lifted her head and looked at her legitimate sister with her head inclined, as she shyly said in a small voice: “I indeed can’t bear to leave sister, if I can see you more in the future, Xi Xian will feel a lot more cheerful in her heart.”
Her legitimate sister looked at Xi Xian’s docile and obedient look, and slowly but firmly said: “Being cheerful is good.”
Xi Xian noticed that her legitimate sister had a tired look on her face, and her complexion was pale and sickly, as if she had been injured or had fallen ill. Remembering her sister’s illness in her past life, she whispered, “Sister, you have to take care of your health, you don’t have to worry about everything for me, you should also think about yourself.”
“In the end, one person is unable to worry about two people’s lives.”
Xi Xian was just showing concern as rules dictated, but her legitimate sister pinched her cheek and took her head into her arms, in an intimate pose. For an instant, a calming sandalwood fragrance, coming from the bead strings on her legitimate sister’s wrist when she moved, entered her nose. It was as if a thought passed by her mind, so fast that Xi Xian couldn’t catch the trace of it.
A moment after, while Xi Xian was in a daze, her legitimate sister brought her back. As she was walking out with her long legs, with a flat tone, she leisurely said: “It’s nothing, I just wanted …… to see you a bit more.”
There were no more words to say between them, her legitimate sister very quickly stepped on the shadows of the night as she left, while Xi Xian watched the back of her legitimate sister, slowly tilting her head, starting to have doubts in her mind.
If she still couldn’t feel it, then she was really stupid.
Her legitimate sister definitely was not a simple person, Xi Xian did not know whether her intuition was accurate or not, but she understood that her legitimate sister and the legitimate sister in her mind, were in fact two different people. She was not as vicious and mean, but she was hiding an even deeper, unfathomable heart.
If she hadn’t reflected on her conduct, and continued to use what she thought was a secret in a vain attempt to seek benefits for herself, it would have been too easy for Xi Heng to deal with her.
Xi Xian was frightened by her own thoughts, she did not know where her intuition was coming from, but just before, when she leaned into her legitimate sister’s arms for a moment, it felt as if she had smelled something dangerous and familiar, that was being deeply suppressed, that was the smell of a person of the highest power.
It was not obvious, Xi Xian did not know where that feeling coming from the depth of her soul was coming from, but she just knew, her legitimate sister was not a simple person at all.
It seemed that in the future she would have to be careful around her, it was best that she acts good and obedient. Xi Xian bit her lips, a little unhappy.
Xi Xian went back to the old matriarch’s courtyard.
In fact, it couldn’t be said that the old lady and she knew each other, they had just been getting to know each other for this past month, but were not really familiar. Née Zhou was from a famous family, she was very adept at talking and get things done, so she naturally treated Xi Xian very warmly and amiably, making Xi Xian not feel so anxious anymore.
It was only now that she suddenly realized that people like the old lady, who had lived all her life in the backyard of the residence, even without being reborn, were much more stronger than her.
Because the old lady walked all this way to the present by relying on herself, she went through many storms and obstacles, that sharpened her ability to get things done.
And Xi Xian, even though she was reborn, was still using petty tricks and being capricious, and she had many more bad habits, formed during her past life, of being arrogant and conceited.
If she was like the old lady in her past life, she would have gotten married very early on and would have become the matriarch of a family, spending her life carefully planning, socializing with people, and calculating her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law. She might not have been very bad at it.
But her path was different, almost like she had been so spoiled she became brainless, like a koi fish raised in warm water, all day long, she was foolishly wagging her tail to swim back and forth, too lazy to even jump to eat the baits.
Xi Xian suddenly started to feel a little depressed, she held her cheeks, not knowing what to say.
One day, as she was sitting opposite the old lady, having a pastry, she said carefully, “Grandma, I always feel that compared to you, my wisdom is really insignificant, I’m not as competent as I would like to be in many things, it feels as if anyone can see right through me with just one glance.”
Xi Xian was eating a rose pastry and tasting the warm and sweet rose jam on the tip of her tongue, full of aroma. Her watery red full lips and cheeks were stained with crumbs from the pastry, while she was still immersed in her distress, with her eyes lowered, “Could you teach me and take me to see more people and affairs, I’m very afraid to make a fool of myself.”
The old lady wiped her beautiful cat-like face and sighed gently: “If you don’t understand, it’s also good, people with good fortune don’t have to learn these.”
