Chapter 67: Our Xiaomi Is More and More Beautiful
Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko
Suddenly, Lin Xiaomi smiled beautifully.
She was so stupid!
Why did she disfigure herself?
Why did she want to hurt herself after all those people hurt her?
Lin Xin’er didn’t want to see Lin Xiaomi live happily, but Lin Xiaomi decided to be happy. anyway
Making her married to another man? No worries! They wouldn’t force her to register for marriage today, would they?
As long as she didn’t get married, she might come up with a method to solve the problems.
However, she wouldn’t admit defeat and surrender to fate!
In the corridor, Lin Qingtian leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets and twisted his head sideways to look when hearing the sounds. When he met Lin Xiaomi’s eyes, there was a smile on his handsome face.
In her eyes, Lin Qingtian was like an elder brother and was nicer to her than Lin Xin’er.
When did she see him last time? It was about a year ago.
“Brother, you’re back!” Lin Xiaomi never addressed Lin Xin’er as an elder sister but indeed treated Lin Qingtian as her elder brother these years.
With a tender look, Lin Qingtian stood upright, way higher than her.
“Cried?” He looked at her with a trace of love hidden in his brows.
Hearing this, she lowered her head to touch the corners of her eyes. Having applied makeup, she couldn’t see the marks of her tears, but he spotted it.
She shrugged casually.
“How long will you stay? Will you leave after the engagement party?” He had been dispatched to run the overseas companies and couldn’t get back if there were no special orders.
“No. I’ll stay longer at home this time and probably won’t leave.”
“Really?” cried her in surprise. “That’s great! You must be busy since you just get back. I’ll invite you dinner after you’re free.”
Hearing this, he asked with brows cocked, “Oh, our Xiaomi has become a reporter and started making money. Now, you can even invite me to a rich meal?”
He looked at her with a wicked smile, which made her feel shy. “Yes, yes, I start making money. Mr. Lin, could you grace me with your presence?”
He helplessly shook his head, fixed his affectionate eyes on her, and stroked her hairs with his hands. “Our Xiaomi is more and more beautiful.”
It was the first time that someone had praised her like that. She felt somewhat shy.
At the moment, he took a delicate brocade box out of his pocket and gave it to her. “This year’s birthday present.”
She felt warm, opened it after taking it, and saw a very beautifully dazzling diamond necklace inside.
How many years this had been?
Each year he would prepare a birthday present for her and gave it to her in person.
During those past years when Leng Yihuang didn’t celebrate her birthday, the present sent by Lin Qingtian was the only warmth for her.
“Thank you, brother.” She used her fingertips to rub the dazzling diamonds and asked with her tongue stuck out at him, “Is it too expensive?”
He shook his head with a smile.
“Wow, what a lovely necklace!” Lin Xin’er stood on the end of the corridor before their notice and walked toward them elegantly.
With the smile frozen on her face, Lin Xiaomi closed the brocade box and put it aside.
After glancing at Lin Qingtian, Lin Xin’er asked with ulterior motives, “Brother, I’m your biological little sister, am I? You can’t play favorites! Each year you prepare a present for Xiaomi, but where is mine?”
Lin Xin’er stretched out her hands and twisted her head sideways mischievously like a naughty little girl.
However, they knew how evil Lin Xin’er was behind her smile.
Having muddled in the business circle for many years, Lin Qingtian said with a faint smile, “As the only legitimate daughter of the Lin family, you always get what you want. You still need my present?”
Lin Xin’er smiled. “Whether I need it or not is my call, but giving me or not is your matter.”
Lin Xiaomi speechlessly looked at Lin Xin’er and wanted to refute back but was stopped by Lin Qingtian.
“Point taken. Tell me what you want!” Like a gentle master, Lin Qingtian easily refuted back.
Lin Xin’er, of course, didn’t like his present and only wanted to make him suffer.
Then, Lin Xin’er turned around and smiled at Lin Xiaomi unkindly. “Your fiance is coming soon. Aunt asks you to go downstairs and teaches you some rules.”
Each time Lin Xin’er smiled, Lin Xiaomi would feel nauseating, for Lin Xiaomi was like a viper that teased you with her kind disguise but would bite you when you didn’t pay attention to her.
Lin Xiaomi suddenly smiled when seeing this gloating face of Lin Xin’er that wore heavy makeup to strip the youthfulness fitting her age of her.
The smile made Lin Xin’er feel disdainful, so she instantly asked with a poker face, “Why are you smiling?”
For some reason, Lin Xiaomi suddenly understood Lin Xin’er at that moment.
“Lin Xin’er, do you know how pathetic you’re?”
Lin Xin’er asked with coldness filling her brows, “What do you mean?”
“I mean what I said. Lin Xin’er, I show my mercy at you. You’ve become mentally twisted because of your illness. You take the pleasures in torturing others to show your superiority. But, deep down, you’re very inferior. You’re jealous of me who is young, pretty, and healthy. You spare no efforts to snatch things from me, but let me tell you you can’t grab everything from me.”
Lin Xiaomi then approached Lin Xin’er and whispered in her ears, “No matter how hard you try, Lin Hai won’t have a look at you, because he’s learned of your true color. He is a clean freak. The more he looks at you, the more he feels disgusting.”
With her expression changed dramatically, Lin Xin’er shivered in anger and lifted her hand to slap Lin Xiaomi but was seized by Lin Qingtian.
He still looked gentle. “The education you’ve received since childhood should have taught you it’s wrong to slap someone.”
Lin Xin’er’s chest was ups and downs fiercely, and her lips turned a little purple, which showed that she was quite furious.
Lin Xin’er shook off his hand and said coldly at Lin Xiaomi, “Let’s see whether I can snatch him away or not.”
Lin Xiaomi looked at Lin Xin’er like she was a clown and then walked past her.
Seeing the ashen face of Lin Xin’er, Lin Xiaomi finally understood why Lin Xin’er loved torturing people, for torturing really made people happy.
Having been with Leng Yihuang longer, she became “evil”, too.
