Lu Qing stood not far away and watched. He could not help but smile.
Looking at Lu Ning at this moment, he suddenly felt an unbearable sensation in his chest.
She must’ve been such a carefree little princess before.
Dressed in a noble evening gown as she shuttled through various banquets— this seems to be how she should be.
It must be distressing, to have fallen from the sky to the ground…
‘Neither did she want to be mistaken for someone else’s baby the moment she was born. ‘
Lu Jingzhi’s words suddenly flashed through his mind.
That’s right, she probably didn’t want this either. It’s not her fault.
Lin Ci did not like crowded occasions. She had to socialize and greet many people, and had to greet them out of courtesy, regardless of whether she was familiar with them or not.
Sometimes, when she turned around, she would see Lu Ning smiling at her from not far away. She suddenly felt like she had returned to the past.
In the past, she would also attend the Lù family’s banquets. At that time, she was in Lu Ning’s position; she watched her socialize with everyone, and she did it with ease and politeness. Back then, she did not yet have to face these things, and felt that Lu Ning did these very easily. However, it was only after she was in such a position did she realize how tiring these formalities were.
It was not merely physically exhausting, but also mentally so. There were those that she did not want to say hello to, but she had to shake hands with
them out of courtesy.
This really isn’t something a human can do!
When she could finally rest, she walked over and realized that Lu Ning was not there. Lu Qing and Lu Jingzhi were sitting on the sofa, looking at her. Lu Qing handed her a glass of fruit juice. “Little Ning asked me to give it to you.”
Without waiting for Lin Ci to speak, Lu Qing had said this directly. Lin Ci did not say anything else, took it, and sat beside Lu Jingzhi.
There was silence all around.
Lu Jingzhi could feel the awkwardness in the air.
“Brother, I want some pudding.”
Lu Qing stood up. “I’ll get it for you.”
Seeing him walk away, Lin Ci heaved a sigh of relief. “Brat, well done. It’s suffocating with your brother here.”
Lu Jingzhi turned to look at Lin Ci. “Sister Ci, don’t you like my brother?”
Lin Ci was equally straightforward. “Nope.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. “Sometimes, I don’t like my brother either, but he actually has his good moments. He’s been improving lately.”
Lin Ci looked at Lu Jingzhi with an inscrutable expression. “Not that I can tell.”
Lu Qing stood in front of the long table. Someone in front of him whispered something, but he heard it as he was close.
“Sigh, don’t you think she’s stupid? She’s clearly inferior to Lu Ning in every way, yet she still won’t toss Lu Ning away.”
“Isn’t that so? Why doesn’t she take a look at how she looks when they’re standing side by side?”
“That’s right.” The two of them smirked. “I don’t know if she’s really stupid or if she’s been bewitched by Lu Ning, but she’s just acting as a foil for others.
Those who don’t know better might think that it’s Lu Ning’s birthday.”
“Indeed. She’s dressed in red, yet she’s not even half as eye-catching as Lu
Ning.”
Lu Qing did not intend to listen, but after listening in for a while, he understood that they were gossiping about Lin Ci.
He suddenly looked up at the two women gossiping behind her back.
“People certainly love to project themselves on others.”
With that) he turned around and left.
The two women looked at each other strangely.
“Must be nuts.”
Lu Qing walked back and handed the pudding to Lu Jingzhi. He turned to look at Lin Ci and suddenly said, “I think you’re very beautiful today.”
Lin Ci was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
After a long time, she replied dubiously, “Thanks?”
In the corridor beside the washroom, two people were engaged in a passionate battle..
