Chapter 188

Page Forty-Four Siblings or Sisters

Called “little sister,” Ling Xiaojie frowned and leaned against the door.

“Have you heard? You’re Lin Ziyè’s fiancée?”

“I am. What of it?” Xiàlù raised an eyebrow in response.

“Marriage into the Lin family isn’t a good choice. You two are also political marriages, right?”

This was a hostile warning.

“Even if it’s arranged by the family, Ziye and I have mutual affection. You don’t need to worry about that… But are you and Ziye really twins?”

“Lingmeng said I would know when we meet.”

“You’ll know just by meeting… huh?”

Xiàlù’s questioning eyes glanced at me. I knew she was seeking an explanation.

I knocked on the door and smiled, saying, “Xiàlù little sister, let us in first. Just seeing the current Lin Ziyè will surely shock Senior Shàojié! I guarantee it!”

She still stared at me, her gaze somewhat strange.

“Your tone changed after talking to Lingmeng. How come?”

Hmm? Tone?

What should Cherry Sauce’s tone be like?

I still smiled and said, “Oh, don’t mind such details. I just went out for some fresh air, and my head feels much clearer now, so I’m a bit light-headed.”

Xiàlù pouted.

“I think you were more intellectual and clever before… Did the cold wind make you stupid?”

What was this punk girl saying? Was she implying I was stupider than Cherry Sauce?

—“Well, you can’t deny it. After all, in terms of personality, I am indeed calmer.”—

Just as things were at a stalemate, a male voice came from inside the room.

“Let them in. It’s not like they’re here to pick up the bride. There’s no need to block the door like this.”

Xiàlù finally stepped aside… wait, a male voice?

Looking at the layout of the dark room, it seemed to be a living room, quite different from the bright music store outside. The dark-patterned wool carpet and the exquisitely decorated antique furniture gave it a classical, luxurious Victorian style. Although it matched Xiàlù’s status as a young lady, it clashed completely with her raven-black punk outfit.

Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed was a gentleman in casual suit.

Hmm, it’s Lin Ziyè… how did he revert back? !

—”When I came out to meet you, she hadn’t reverted yet.”—

Although Ling Xiaoyè resembles Líng Xīmí, Lin Ziyè bears no resemblance to her. Since there’s no resemblance, there’s no way to tell immediately, so…

“—You said she (he) is my sister (brother)?”

“—…”

“—I should be the older sister (brother), right?!”

Oh, there’s definitely a twin-like feeling in their synchronized speech.

I intervened to calm them down, “If you two are really twins, then it depends on who was born first! But no one here knows, right? In the end, you’ll have to confront your father. So sit down and talk. Ziye, can you transform and show Senior Shàojié?”

“Lingmeng~ do you want me to…”

The arrogant young master put down his crossed legs and looked at Ling Xiaojie, raising Xiao Jun’s chin and asking, “…transform in front of these strangers?”

“Not strangers, she is your sister.”

I reminded him, “Your transformed appearance is more convincing. You look very much like your mother, right?”

Ling Xiaojie listened silently, saying nothing. Her relaxed posture highlighted her composure.

—”She must have doubts, but asking now would expose her lack of information and lead to unfavorable talks later. Even if it’s bluffing, she has to act like she has everything under control.”—

Because she didn’t trust the current Lin Ziyè, she couldn’t ask questions without hesitation. Lin Ziyè also had a haughty attitude. So it turns out their competition had already begun…

Wait, wasn’t today’s arrangement supposed to be for them to recognize each other?

Why does it feel like a negotiation?

“If it’s Lingmeng’s request… there’s no other way. I was hoping to avoid revealing secrets by reverting.”

Lin Ziyè rubbed the steel ring on his right ring finger.

—”Here comes the mysterious girl A’s spell… but still can’t track it backwards.”—

Cherry Sauce sensed our mother’s magical power again. I could only watch as Lin Ziyè transformed into a radiant beauty.

—”Our mother’s magic power is kiwi-flavored.”—

I didn’t ask you about that kind of information!

Ling Xiaojie, witnessing the transformation for the first time, struggled to hide her complex emotions. When the white light dissipated, her pupils dilated in shock.

“Oh, this!”

“How do you explain this? If he isn’t Líng Xīmí’s child, how could he have such a face?”

The flower shirt under the casual suit was stretched tight by Ling Xiaoyè’s chest, but the high-quality buttons resisted valiantly.

She bent over and stood up, saying, “My chest feels tight. I’ll go change clothes.”

There was no partition or changing room in the dark room. Ling Xiaoyè simply started undressing at the corner. Lǐn Huā pressed her palm against my head, using inexplicable strength to turn my head away from sight.

“The chairman forbids looking.”

While Ling Xiaoyè changed clothes, Ling Xiaojie leaned over and asked, “Did you do it? Miss Málìwēi said you have special abilities. Is turning men into women one of them?”

I thought for a moment and replied, “Although I do have this ability, unfortunately, it wasn’t me this time… Do you remember the person I asked you to investigate?”

Ling Xiaojie exclaimed, “Is it the mysterious girl A?!”

“Yes, Lin Ziyè met a fortune-teller on the pedestrian street, and that fortune-teller gave him a ring that switches gender.”

“This is like the beginning of a transformation novel?”

“That fortune-teller is the one we’re looking for. So helping you this time, I have my own plans.”

Ling Xiaoyè is undoubtedly Líng Xīmí’s child. That face is irrefutable evidence. Ling Xiaojie couldn’t deny this and fell into thought.

Xiàlù asked, “Is your birth certificate genuine, Ling Xiaojie?”

This provoked Ling Xiaojie’s dissatisfaction.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Compared to the face, isn’t a forged birth certificate less convincing? Everyone knows Lingmeng is warm-hearted, but you might have taken advantage of her kindness…”

“Do you think I forged the birth certificate to curry favor? What’s the point of such an obvious lie?”

Actually, besides being twins, there’s another possibility.

Assuming the birth certificate is fake, although Líng Xīmí couldn’t give birth to two children in a short time, Lín Yùhuáng, as a successful man, could potentially cause two women to become pregnant around the same time…

Perhaps, Ling Xiaojie is indeed a love child?
