Chapter 478: Chapter 479: Meeting Another Younger Sibling
Song Xiaoru couldnât possibly come up with a solution right away. After some thought, she finally sighed and said, "Itâs just as well Qingqing isnât here, letâs go see Suâer at noon. I havenât seen her for quite a few days either."
Song Xiaodong promptly agreed, then dialed Lin Suâerâs phone number.
"Hello... Ah, Brother Dongzi!" Lin Suâer must have worked a night shift yesterday, her first response was a bit groggy, but as soon as she saw Song Xiaodongâs number, she excitedly cried out.
"Were you sleeping?" Song Xiaodong asked with an involuntary tender smile on his face.
Watching Song Xiaodongâs expression, Song Xiaoru couldnât help but give a bitter smile. From that look, she could sense that Song Xiaodong was not just toying with Lin Suâer, and because it wasnât just play, that made things even more difficult.
Now she even thought, if Song Xiaodong was involved with another woman, it would be better if it were just a fling. They could just pay some money and settle it, but it was the emotional entanglements that were hardest to deal with.
"Itâs okay, Iâve slept enough. Do you need something, Brother Dongzi?" Lin Suâer immediately asked.
Song Xiaodong replied, "In that case, Iâll come over to your place now."
"Great, Iâll get right up," Lin Suâer said, her voice brimming with joy.
"I..."
"Heehee, Iâm going to wash up now, wonât chat with you for now." Lin Suâer was clearly too excited. Knowing that Song Xiaodong was coming was all that mattered to her at the moment, and she didnât bother to listen to anything else, hanging up right away.
This left Song Xiaodong somewhat bemused; he had wanted to mention that Song Xiaoru was also coming, but she had completely missed it.
Song Xiaoru laughed and said, "Letâs go, itâs fine if you didnât say it. Suâer is usually quite shy, but now I want to see how she prepares to meet you."
Song Xiaodong could only smile wryly and agree, then he and Song Xiaoru drove to Lin Suâerâs house.
Fifteen minutes later, Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru were already standing at Lin Suâerâs doorstep.
Song Xiaodong knocked on the door, and Lin Suâerâs voice came from inside: "Who is it?" She was still very cautious and didnât open the door right away.
"Itâs me," Song Xiaodong responded.
The door opened immediately and Lin Suâer appeared before Song Xiaodongâs eyes. However, upon seeing Song Xiaoru, Lin Suâerâs smiling face instantly froze, and she said in utter disbelief, "Sister Xiaoru, you... why are you here?"
Song Xiaoru smiled faintly and said, "Donât you welcome me?"
"Welcome... of course, welcome." Lin Suâer frantically fetched slippers for Song Xiaoru to wear.
Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong changed their shoes and walked in. Seeing Lin Suâer so anxious and uneasy, Song Xiaoru softly laughed and said, "Suâer, your pajamas are really pretty."
"Ah..." Lin Suâer instinctively shielded her chest with both hands, her face flushed with embarrassment. She had specifically purchased this set of pajamas, which belonged to the quite sexy, semi-transparent kind, that outlined the contour of the body and left little to the imagination. It was the kind of outfit that could easily cause a man to have a nosebleed.
Lin Suâer wasnât the type of girl who was very open, but after being with Song Xiaodong, she knew that she couldnât always be with him, so she treasured every chance to be together. She wanted to make the most out of these limited opportunities, which is why she had researched and decided to buy such a pair of blush-inducing pajamas.
Having heard that Song Xiaodong was coming today, she had bravely put them on, hoping to give him a surprise, but she hadnât expected Song Xiaoru to come as well. The fact that she noticed her pajamas made her feel both embarrassed and flustered.
She stole a glance at Song Xiaodong, wanting to get some sort of sign from him.
"Suâer, donât be scared. Dongzi already told me about you and him," Song Xiaoru said at this moment.
"Ah..." Lin Suâerâs face turned pale, and she stuttered, "Sister Xiaoru, Iâm sorry, Iâm so sorry, itâs all my fault, it was me who took the initiative, itâs not Brother Dongziâs fault."
Song Xiaoruâs heart ached, and she took Lin Suâerâs hand, leading her to sit on the couch and said, "Suâer, you silly girl, is it worth it doing what youâre doing? Dongzi is quite the playboy, to rely on him for your happiness in life... itâs really not very reliable."
Lin Suâer was still confused about Song Xiaoruâs intentions, but at least Song Xiaoruâs attitude made her relax a little. She bit her lip, looked up at Song Xiaoru, and said softly, "Sister Xiaoru, it really is voluntary on my part."
"Look how scared you are, Dongzi, tell her something, or else Suâer will keep thinking Iâm here to lay blame."
Song Xiaodong cleared his throat and said, "Suâer, donât be afraid. My sister knows about us; sheâs just here to see you. If she were really here to lay blame, it would be Qingqing who came, not my sister."
Lin Suâer finally breathed a sigh of relief but still felt quite embarrassed. She said softly, "Sister Xiaoru, if... if you have to blame someone, blame me, really, donât blame Brother Dongzi, it was I who seduced him."
Song Xiaoru gave a wry smile and said, "You silly girl, youâre always protecting him. Whatâs so good about this boy?"
Lin Suâer bit her lip and bravely whispered, "Sister Xiaoru, Brother Dongzi really is an amazing man, I really like him so much. I know itâs wrong, and itâs unfair to Sister Qingqing, but I canât control myself. Even if all I can be is Brother Dongziâs mistress for life, even if he only thinks of me occasionally, if he considers me his, Iâll be content. I truly wonât do anything to spoil his relationship with Sister Qingqing nor will I cause any trouble for Brother Dongzi, really, Sister Xiaoru, I will never take the initiative to look for Brother Dongzi."
Song Xiaoru sighed softly and said, "You really are too naive. Living like this, youâll suffer for the rest of your life."
Lin Suâer quickly responded, "Not at all, not at all, truly, right now Iâm feeling indescribably happy. Just thinking that Iâm Brother Dongziâs woman, I donât care about anything else."
Song Xiaoruâs mouth twitched, and she said, "Iâm beginning to suspect that Dongzi has given you some sort of love potion, for you to be so foolish."
Lin Suâer turned to look at Song Xiaodong, bit her lip, and said nothing.
Song Xiaoru patted the back of Lin Suâerâs hand and said, "Since youâve made up your mind, I wonât say much. If you choose to follow Dongzi, then he must take responsibility. But given the circumstances, Dongzi canât take care of you in every way. How about this: if you ever need anything, you come straight to me. Iâll help you communicate, and this way, Qingqing wonât find out, and Dongzi can still look after you. What do you think?"
Lin Suâerâs eyes widened in surprise, looking at Song Xiaoru. Does this mean that Song Xiaoru was acknowledging her position and even offering to help her?
Thatâs it for the five updates today. I recommend my good friendâs new book, âThe Ultimate Close-Combat Masterâ.
