Chapter 286
Just like before, he opened it up in front of the little girl, his feelings a tangled mess.
He had heard everything Ah Ying said; it was because of him that she had made such a compromise.
“What are you going to do with all this in front of me? What will Wan Ning eat?”
Long Ao Tian glanced at Hu Yu Ying, then at Lin Wan Ning, who was looking down in silence. “Didn’t you say that at home, everything should revolve around you?”
Hu Yu Ying looked at the confused and helpless Long Ge and couldn’t help but laugh. “So it’s only at home that I’m in charge?”
“No, I’m always at your service.”
Lin Wan Ning looked at her brother, who was as wheezy as someone with bronchitis, then at Hu Yu Ying, whose eyes sparkled with laughter as they met hers. She said softly, “Ah Ying has accepted me.”
“From now on, she’s my sister. I’ll listen to her. If you make her angry, I won’t pay any attention to you anymore.”
Her home no longer had a place for her.
If she could have a home here, she would be willing to do anything.
In the past, she felt like someone who could only be seen in the shadows, but now that Ah Ying accepted her, she could at least see a glimmer of light.
Though she still faced awkwardness, deep down, she had come to prioritize Ah Ying.
After breakfast, Lin Wan Ning received a video call from Li Qing Xue.
To avoid any awkwardness, she informed Hu Yu Ying and then left.
As soon as Lin Wan Ning left, Long Ao Tian stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Hu Yu Ying. “You really don’t have to do this.”
Hu Yu Ying tried to break free from Long Ao Tian’s embrace, but after struggling a couple of times and realizing he was holding her tighter, she gave up. “Do you think I want this?”
“Wan Ning’s family doesn’t care about her, and you’ve taken away her innocence. What do you expect her to do alone?”
“I’m sorry.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yu Ying couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. “You just bully me. You can’t keep doing this.”
“Do you have any idea how much it hurts me inside?”
“I know, I know.” Long Ao Tian looked at the little girl whose eyes were red and who was softly sobbing, feeling a pang of heartache. “If you’re hurting, you can hit me or yell at me, but please don’t leave me.”
“How many times have you been with Wan Ning?”
“Last week, and this Wednesday and Friday.”
Hearing this, Hu Yu Ying punched Long Ao Tian’s chest twice. “Now you have two women by your side. Aren’t you happy?”
“You have no idea how conflicted and scared I am,” Long Ao Tian said honestly. “I really just want you.”
“I don’t believe you. Wan Ning has seen more videos than I have and knows more. Isn’t she more experienced? If you really only want me, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“I was scared, scared you would leave me, so I didn’t dare to tell you. But I realized I can’t keep hiding it from you.”
“Aren’t you afraid that after telling me, I might still leave you?” Hu Yu Ying’s tone softened.
“I am afraid, but I really can’t keep it from you. The guilt I feel is worse than death.”
“But I don’t know what to do. The only solution I can think of is to be honest with you.”
“At that moment, I thought, as long as you don’t leave me, I’m willing to do anything. Hu Yu Ying, I can’t live without you.”
“I know I’m being unreasonable, but I can’t let go. I won’t allow you to leave. If you hate me or resent me, I’ll accept it. I just can’t bear to be apart from you…”
Once, he was the domineering older brother who taught her, helped her, and took care of her. Now, he was holding her waist, saying he couldn’t live without her.
Everything felt like a dream. It turned out that falling in love with someone could make even Long Ge feel humble.
But wasn’t he also her one and only, her everything?
Just as Hu Yu Ying said, she had never forgiven Lin Wan Ning; she had always forgiven her Long Ge.
A man who had done something wrong, not thinking about how to hide it, but wanting to confess to her.
He didn’t push all the blame onto Lin Wan Ning because she took the initiative; instead, he took all the responsibility upon himself.
This kind-hearted person, if he chose to hide things from her, she would always unconditionally believe in him...

**Chapter 349: Rather than being difficult, it’s better to just join in.**
Li Qing Xue woke up and found no one around.
Hu Yu Ying must have gone home to find Long Ao Tian, but where did Lin Wan Ning go?
After finishing the breakfast left on the table, Li Qing Xue called Lin Wan Ning.
When the call connected, Lin Wan Ning simply said there was something at school, but it was all sorted out, and she would be back to find her soon.
After tidying up, Li Qing Xue went to check out of the room.
About ten minutes later, she saw Lin Wan Ning walking toward her.
With her tall figure and fair skin, she stood out in the crowd.
“Wan Ning, I woke up and couldn’t find you guys. I thought you’d been kidnapped!” Li Qing Xue joked as she handed Lin Wan Ning a drink.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she froze.
She noticed Lin Wan Ning’s eyes were red, as if she had just been crying, and her playful mood vanished. She quickly grabbed Wan Ning’s hand. “What’s wrong? Who bullied you?”
Lin Wan Ning shook her head. “No one bullied me.”
“Liar! If no one bullied you, why are you crying? Your eyes are all puffy.”
“It’s not that anyone bullied me.” As she spoke, her voice began to tremble with emotion. “I’m happy, really happy. I’m just so excited inside…”
She truly hadn’t expected that Hu Yu Ying would choose to forgive her and try to accept her.
Because in her eyes, what she had done didn’t deserve sympathy.
But, but Hu Yu Ying had asked her to call her sister.
Her family was alive, yet in her heart, they felt dead.
Some people she had only known for a few months could treat her like family.
Her heart was filled with overwhelming excitement.
Li Qing Xue had no idea what had happened, so she just comforted her softly.
Lin Wan Ning was the strongest girl she had seen besides Hu Yu Ying, yet now she was crying like a child.
After sniffing a few times, she took a couple of gulps from the drink in Li Qing Xue’s hand, then continued to sniffle.
This series of actions left Li Qing Xue both amused and exasperated.
At least from her behavior, Wan Ning didn’t seem like someone who had been bullied.
“Alright, stop crying. You’ll look bad if you keep it up.” Li Qing Xue gently consoled her.
“I know, but I just can’t control myself.” Lin Wan Ning wiped her tear-streaked face, forcing herself to stop crying, but despite her best efforts, she still let out a few sobs.
Li Qing Xue stayed with her, waiting for her emotions to settle before gently hugging her.
“I’m okay now, thank you,” Lin Wan Ning said, taking a deep breath. Her mood had clearly brightened.
“You really scared me just now.”
Suddenly bursting into tears had left her at a loss...
“Can I ask what happened?”
Seeing the eager look on Li Qing Xue’s face, Lin Wan Ning chuckled, wiping her nose. “I’m not telling you.”
“Hey, Lin Wan Ning, you just about gave me a heart attack, and now you won’t tell me? Are we still good friends?” Li Qing Xue protested.
But seeing Wan Ning’s mood improve made her genuinely happy.
However, what should she do about the situation with Wan Ning and Long Ao Tian?
Sigh~~
She sighed inwardly; sometimes knowing too much could be quite troublesome.
It seemed necessary to invite Long Ao Tian out for a serious talk.
At that time, she could step on his face and make him grovel, which would also serve as a good lesson for Long Ao Tian on behalf of Ah Ying.
Since it was all about being difficult, it might as well be fun.
Thinking about becoming a woman herself and experiencing the joy that Hu Yu Ying and Lin Wan Ning spoke of, she felt a surge of excitement.
Once Lin Wan Ning had adjusted her emotions, she noticed Li Qing Xue standing there in a daze and poked her on the head. “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing!” Li Qing Xue replied with a sly smile, looking at the oblivious Wan Ning, who still didn’t realize she had discovered her secret. So silly.
Seeing the mischievous smile on Li Qing Xue’s face, Lin Wan Ning frowned slightly. With that kind of smile, she knew Li Qing Xue was up to no good.
“You’re smiling so wickedly. What bad idea are you cooking up?”
Li Qing Xue deliberately teased her. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
