Chapter 27 (1/2)

Still Have Not Made Her Yours?

Meanwhile, at the Xing family, Wu Minxia said with a thunderous face, “Let’s eat first. We can’t all wait for her.”

Xing Linlin hesitated before taking the cake out from the fridge. “Aunt, I baked this—your favorite matcha flavor.”

Wu Minxia’s expression immediately softened. Her fondness for Xing Linlin grew further. “Wonderful. Linlin, you’re the best.”

Xing Linlin pursed her lips and smiled, shifting her gaze from Cheng Xingyang to Xing Zewu. Xing Zewu was melancholic, but he still showed a tinge of tenderness when he met Xing Linlin’s eyes.

A while later, the sound of a car—Xing Shu’s—emanated from outside the door. When Xing Shu entered with the cake and saw them happily chatting at the dining table, she immediately felt redundant.

“Dad, Mom, Big Brother,” Xing Shu called out, ignoring Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin. When she saw the cake on the table, she handed her cake to the nanny who was beside her. “Put it in the fridge.”

The nanny had worked in the Xing family for more than a decade and was very perceptive. She loosened her grip and the cake—that Xing Shu had labored over for four hours—fell to the ground with a thud.

Xing Shu darted a glare at the nanny. Disdain flashed across the nanny’s eyes, but she pretended to be guilty. “Miss, I’m sorry. This cake must have cost a lot of money. I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Before Xing Shu could speak, Wu Minxia jumped on her. “So what if you spent a lot of money? Is it as sincere as Linlin’s handmade cake? Linlin even specially chose my favorite Matcha flavor. What about you? You were still dawdling when I asked you to come home. You don’t even know to greet your own sister and fiancé when you enter the house. Where have all your years of upbringing gone to?” Xing Shu had been so obedient in the past. However, when Wu Minxia thought of Xing Linlin’s diary, she felt that it might all have been an act previously; and Xing Shu did not even bother to pretend anymore now.

Xing Shu suspired. She was like an outsider in this family. She would only be a detestation if she stayed; she should leave. However, Xing Shu did not leave. Instead, she chose a seat and sat down. “Mom, Happy Birthday. There’s a double celebration in the Xing family today.”

Wu Minxia’s face was glacial. She was irate at the sight of Xing Shu. However, Xing Shu’s next words stupefied Wu Minxia.

Xing Shu looked at Xing Zewu and said, “Brother, shouldn’t you put your relationship with Linlin into action? I saw the two of you kissing three years ago. Don’t tell me you still have not made her yours after three years?”
