Chapter 285
Hu Yuying, who had always been so gentle, suddenly turned serious, her aura commanding and oppressive.
“A girl bets everything, giving you her purity without asking for anything in return. What are you going to do about it?” This was Hu Yuying’s final choice for Long Aotian.
“I’ve said I want to marry you and take you home as my wife.” Long Aotian glanced at Lin Wanning before finally fixing his gaze on Hu Yuying.
Lin Wanning didn’t feel much about this answer. If she hadn’t intervened, this outcome would have been inevitable.
Moreover, her brother took all the blame that should have been hers. Wasn’t that a form of protection for her?
She felt content, truly content. At least she was willing, and at least she had once held a place in her brother’s heart...
Upon hearing this response, Hu Yuying’s already reddened eyes glistened with tears again, but she bit her lip and said, “You want to marry me and take me home as your wife. You said you would always put me first.”
“Well, in this house, you have to listen to me.”
“Now I’m going to lay down a rule: you are my man, and I am your woman. In this house, you can’t do anything without my permission.”
Then she turned to Lin Wanning. “Did you hear that?”
Lin Wanning wasn’t foolish; in fact, she was quite sharp.
What Hu Yuying meant was that she was the mistress of this house, and Lin Wanning could only play with the leftovers.
But what did it matter?
Everything she had done should have been a source of ridicule.
Her brother took all the responsibility upon himself to protect her.
It was only right for Hu Yuying to assert her claim and set the rules, after all, she was the one at fault.
So Lin Wanning nodded. “I heard you. You’re my sister, and I’ll listen to you.”
“I’m hungry.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanning quickly said, “I’ll go buy breakfast.”
“That jerk can go.” Hu Yuying didn’t look at Long Aotian, but her tone was pointedly defiant.
Suddenly called out, Long Aotian quickly got up to go buy breakfast.
As soon as he left, Hu Yuying seemed to lose all her strength in an instant.
Seeing this, Lin Wanning stepped forward and lent her body for Hu Yuying to lean on. “I’m sorry.”
Hu Yuying shook her head. What was the use of saying sorry when everything had already happened? “Let me see the video.”
Lin Wanning hesitated for a moment but still pulled up the video and handed her phone to Hu Yuying.
Watching the scenes unfold on the screen, Hu Yuying closed her eyes. “You even used handcuffs. Were you planning to steal my man all along?”
“No.” Lin Wanning lowered her gaze and spoke softly. “I never thought of stealing him from you.”
“You might not believe me, but I initially just wanted to borrow a seed from my brother and then leave.”
“Don’t blame him. You saw it yourself; I was the one flirting with him.”
Lin Wanning spoke earnestly, as if she were ready to give up everything—her studies, her love for music, everything...
When her aunt delayed, she had also thought about giving it all up, but at that time, Long Aotian had always been by her side, offering her care and warmth, even willing to give up everything for her.
Yet she had thought about leaving, leaving alone.
“Is it worth it?” Hu Yuying asked softly.
Lin Wanning smiled faintly, “It is worth it.”
“There have been two times in my life when I was the happiest.”
“The first was when I was a child, at my grandparents’ house.”
“The second was when I met you and my brother. It felt like I fell for him in an instant. While everyone else laughed at me, he stood resolutely in front of me.”
“Getting to know you and Qingxue, bathing together, chatting in a hotel room, watching videos together, cooking and eating together—it suddenly felt like home.”
“I want to hold onto this happiness, greedily wanting to keep a piece of joy that belongs to me, so everything is worth it.”
To unreservedly give her purity to someone shows she has truly recognized this man in her heart, even if such affection is deemed disgraceful...
Upon hearing Lin Wanning say, “It suddenly felt like home,” Hu Yuying’s heart stirred with complexity. She had felt that way too—when a few people were together, in a small courtyard, at a table, just talking and chatting, it felt like home.
From a woman’s perspective, she could empathize with Lin Wanning.
But from another angle, she felt Lin Wanning didn’t deserve sympathy.
“You just heard it. Long Aotian said he wants to marry me and take me home as his wife.” He had resolutely chosen her without a hint of hesitation.
“I don’t want any title.” Lin Wanning knew how important Hu Yuying was in Long Aotian’s heart and had never intended to compete with her.
“Then what should you call me now?”
“Sister, good sister.” Lin Wanning said, gently hugging Hu Yuying.
“I haven’t forgiven you yet.”
“Then punish me. I’m willing to accept any punishment from you, sister.”
In the next moment, Lin Wanning’s body stiffened, and she felt a wave of tingling sensation wash over her.
Watching Hu Yuying’s hand knead her little cutie, her body suddenly felt strange.
As Hu Yuying’s mischievous hand moved downward...
Lin Wanning couldn’t help but shiver. “Good sister...”
“You promised to let me punish you however I want.”
Lin Wanning bit her lip tightly and nodded gently.
“Your body is so sensitive, isn’t it?”
Lin Wanning closed her eyes, her cool little face brushing against Hu Yuying’s neck as she kissed it. “Sister, you meant for me to hear that outside, didn’t you?”
Feeling Lin Wanning’s kisses on her neck, Hu Yuying couldn’t help but twist her neck. “I thought I would be really angry, but in fact, I’m calmer than I imagined. I’ve even thought about how to punish you.”
“I don’t know what’s come over me. Maybe it’s because the first time I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity...”
Lin Wanning gently nibbled on Hu Yuying’s earlobe. “I felt that way too, so familiar. I instinctively wanted to get close to you and Qingxue. I thought I was the only one who felt that way...”

Chapter 348: You Keep Bullying Me, You Can’t Keep Doing This
“But don’t get too ahead of yourself. I’m Long Aotian’s first woman, and all the rules in this house must be followed by you.”
On this point, Hu Yuying was very serious.
“Even though you’ve given yourself to Long Aotian, but...”
Before Hu Yuying could finish her sentence, Lin Wanning interjected, “I know. If I don’t behave, you’ll kick me out.”
“Not just in this house; at any time, you’re my good sister.”
At this point, she looked earnestly at Hu Yuying. “Thank you for still being willing to forgive someone as despicable as me.”
“I’m not forgiving you. I still need to settle the score with you for threatening Long Aotian!”
“What I forgive is Long Aotian’s honesty and his suffering.”
“You know how important he is to me.”
“He always wants to do everything perfectly, but he faltered when it came to you.”
The events had unfolded clearly through the video Lin Wanning recorded.
Long Aotian didn’t want to hurt anyone. Although he tried to take all the blame upon himself, he inadvertently hurt Lin Wanning.
His reluctance, his affection, his choice, his helplessness, his suffering, and his ultimate confession were all laid bare before her.
What had happened had happened; discussing right and wrong was meaningless now. So she wasn’t accepting Lin Wanning; she was accepting everything about Long Aotian.
After this incident, her relationship with Long Aotian would deepen.
At the same time, she would occupy a more significant place in his heart.
No matter what little schemes Lin Wanning had, they would all fall short against her being the primary focus.
And as a girl who had lost her purity, how much scorn and injustice would she face in the future? Although Lin Wanning claimed to be willing, Long Aotian would still bear part of the responsibility.
She could give up everything for Long Aotian, even willing to sacrifice all dignity and face to be a hidden mistress. Just these two points were enough to show how much she truly liked him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
Though the events had already transpired, there had to be a sequence of precedence. As the elder sister, she naturally had to establish her own rules.
As her words fell, Hu Yuying looked toward the door. “Aren’t you coming in?”
Hearing this, Long Aotian pushed the door open and entered.
He had returned long ago but didn’t want to interrupt Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning’s conversation.
He placed the breakfast he had brought on the table.
