Chapter 1256: Chapter 1245: Deep Sisterly Bond
“You little rascal, you’re really pushing your luck.”
Xu Ruolan smiled as she tickled her, laughing with mock annoyance.
For a moment, the two sisters started playing around, filling the room with joy.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan couldn’t witness such a beautiful scene, which was truly a pity.
After a long while, they both tired out and lay on the bed, ready to sleep.
Xu Xiaoqing quickly fell asleep and even began to snore lightly.
Xu Ruolan lay facing her, looking at Xu Xiaoqing’s delicate face and snow-white skin, and suddenly felt worried.
“Ah, fate is truly unpredictable. Someone is taking my Ning Fan, and I never thought it would be my own sister. I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse.”
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, watching the moonlight shine through the floor-to-ceiling window and lost in deep thought.
With a loud ‘snap’.
Xu Xiaoqing didn’t sleep well, swinging her arm over and resting it on Xu Ruolan’s shoulder, snuggling up to her.
“Sis, you smell so good.”
Murmuring softly, Xu Xiaoqing quickly drifted back into dreamland, snoring lightly and curling up like a young beast.
Xu Ruolan held her tightly, stroking her hair, and sighed deeply, “We’re close as sisters, yet we’re not biological sisters. I hope a man won’t come between us.”
She thought for a long time, feeling sleepy, and finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep too.
Nothing more was said through the night.
The next morning, Xu Ruolan woke up with dark circles under her eyes from staying up too late.
She noticed it while washing up and forcibly covered it with foundation and eye cream.
When she and a bouncy Xu Xiaoqing arrived at the kitchen, they found Ning Fan wearing an apron, cooking breakfast.
This was rather unusual, and Xu Xiaoqing looked as if she’d seen something spectacular, happily running to Ning Fan’s side, resting her hand on his shoulder, turning him around to take a serious look, her face filled with surprise.
“Huh, why do you have panda eyes?”
Xu Ruolan also turned to look, only to find Ning Fan had dark circles even heavier than her own.
Since she had a substantial relationship with Ning Fan, she was suddenly worried, went over, took Ning Fan’s hand, and asked with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t sleep well last night?”
“Ruolan, aren’t you ignoring me?”
Ning Fan’s smile had a hint of grievance, his expression vivid and real.
“You’re annoying. When Xiaoqing throws a little tantrum, you tolerate it, but when I blow off some steam occasionally, you torture yourself like this?”
After spending last night with Xu Xiaoqing, Xu Ruolan had adjusted her mood and realized that Ning Fan hadn’t done anything wrong.
It’s just that women are women, even if they aren’t right, they can still argue their case, which is the beauty’s advantage.
Ning Fan chuckled along, looking at Xu Ruolan’s delicate face, and exclaimed, “Ruolan, why is your foundation so thick today, though it still looks pretty.”
Next, he wanted to touch it but was swatted away by Xu Ruolan, who teased, “What are you doing? Xiaoqing is watching.”
“If you two want to flirt, I won’t be the third wheel. I’ll go wait for breakfast.”
Xu Xiaoqing smiled gently, walked out of the kitchen, and sat back on the sofa in the dining room.
Neither of them noticed the tears glistening at the corner of her eye, on the brink of falling.
What girl doesn’t dream of love?
What girl isn’t deeply passionate?
Just because Ning Fan is her brother-in-law, Xu Xiaoqing often has to hide her feelings.
After all, she’s the second young lady of the Xu Family. Even though she’s not as cultured and sensible as her sister, she tends to be a bit more boisterous.
But she understands morals and would never cross the line.
Xu Xiaoqing concealed her feelings well, so much so that she wasn’t discovered while spending time with her sister last night.
What she didn’t know is that women have a strong sixth sense, and Xu Ruolan has already discovered this, which is the real reason for her outburst last night.
Soon, Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan entered the dining room carrying breakfast.
They placed a glass of milk, bread, sushi, eggs, and other breakfast items in front of Xu Xiaoqing.
Xu Xiaoqing immediately beamed, displaying her cheerful side, took a bite of sushi, and praised, “Truly a Divine Doctor, not only skilled in medicine but exceptional in the kitchen and bedroom too. Amazing!”
“Hey, you little tease!”
Ning Fan gave her a flick on the forehead and started eating himself.
Xu Xiaoqing rubbed her head and complained, “Sis, did you see that? He’s bullying me, and I’ve never started the fight.”
“Alright, I know.”
Xu Ruolan cleared her throat, hiding her conflicting feelings, and said loudly, “You both should eat properly. Don’t talk. Have you ever heard of the saying ‘silent when soaked, don’t speak when eating’?”
“Hmph, Sister, you’re siding with him. Got your husband and forgot about your sister, huh? Fine, I’ll expose your secret.”
Then she leaned toward Ning Fan and whispered mysteriously, “Brother-in-law, do you know why Sister’s foundation is so thick? It’s because she has panda eyes too, just like you. Truly a natural match.”
“Ah, you little rascal!”
Xu Ruolan’s face darkened, her lips twitching, wishing she could seal Xu Xiaoqing’s mouth to stop her nonsense.
But Ning Fan shamelessly replied, “I knew it, even if Ruolan is angry, she’s inwardly guilty, otherwise she wouldn’t have tossed and turned, sleeplessly longing, just like me.”
Then he continued to pretend to be contemplative, “We’re truly meant for each other.”
“Vain!”
Xu Ruolan shot him a glance and stopped talking, focusing on her breakfast.
Xu Xiaoqing took the opportunity to chime in, “Sister, I need to tell you something. Next week, I want Ning Fan’s help.”
What’s this?
You want help? How?
Xu Ruolan’s face turned pale and asked in confusion, “You go to school every day, he goes to work every day. How will he have time for you?”
“Sis, you’re so stingy. Next week, our school is organizing a trip, but I’m constantly surrounded by bees and butterflies. It’s so annoying, but since they’re classmates, I can’t say anything harsh. So I want Ning Fan to be my personal bodyguard and protector of flowers. Whoever dares to approach me will have Ning Fan beat them to a pulp, to relieve my anger.”
Xu Xiaoqing spoke while eating breakfast, oblivious to Xu Ruolan’s flickering gaze.
Ning Fan felt the pain in his foot growing sharper beneath the table.
He didn’t need to guess, it was Xu Ruolan stomping on it with her high heel.
Ning Fan pulled his foot back, and Xu Ruolan finally stopped.
Ning Fan pouted and forced a smile, “Xiaoqing, I suddenly remembered I might have other plans next week. If I go on a trip with you, it might delay important matters and affect my life.”
