Chapter 1122 - 1118: Treated Like Air (Part 1)
An Ran’s heart seemed to tighten slightly.Last night, her brother didn’t come home, nor did he contact her...
An Ran couldn’t sleep, only drifting off into a hazy sleep in the middle of the night.
Her heart was all knotted up, like tangled yarn getting messier.
An Ran clenched her fists, "This has nothing to do with you."
"How could it not be my business?" Lin Wanqing said triumphantly, "Because yesterday, Chi Cheng spent the whole day with me."
It was like a bolt from the blue.
An Ran stood there in shock, her head filled with Lin Wanqing’s words.
Yesterday, her brother was with Lin Wanqing.
He was with Lin Wanqing...
An Ran snapped back to reality, "Trying to sow discord, huh? I won’t believe a word you say, and I hope that every curse you just spewed against my mother rebounds back on you!"
With that, An Ran bypassed Lin Wanqing and left swiftly.
Lin Wanqing smirked derisively, leaning against the wall, watching An Ran’s departing figure.
An Ran, An Ran, you think you can compete with me for Chi Cheng?
Ridiculous.
-
An Ran walked out of the hospital lost in thought, wandering aimlessly forward.
Her mind was a blur.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong to make her brother suddenly act this way again.
Moreover, he had actually spent the whole day with Lin Wanqing yesterday.
Anger...
For the first time, An Ran was this angry.
When she got home, Chi Cheng was already back, at some unknown point in time.
The clothes he wore were different from yesterday’s.
She didn’t know if he had changed after coming home, or if he had changed outside before returning.
She really wanted to ask him.
Chi Cheng elegantly took a sip of coffee, glimpsing the little girl at the door out of the corner of his eye, but his gaze didn’t follow her.
Instead, he turned back to nonchalantly flipping through the documents in his hand.
An Ran parted her lips, but her thoughts were stuck in her throat, because he hadn’t spoken to her first.
Cold war.
For the first time, An Ran realized this term.
She silently changed into slippers, walked past Chi Cheng, and took a bottle of milk from the fridge.
The atmosphere was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
An Ran sniffled, clutching the milk tightly as she went upstairs.
It was quiet behind her.
Click.
The bedroom door closed, and An Ran’s nose suddenly stung.
She had gotten used to her brother always looking at her with a smile.
Upon finding out that Chi Cheng approached her to spite their mother, although An Ran couldn’t accept it, she gradually realized that even though Chi Cheng often said things to provoke her, he still treated her well like before.
But now—
It all changed suddenly.
He would never smile at her like before again; when he saw her, he treated her like air...
Acting indifferent was the harshest revenge.
Mealtime came quickly.
An Ran and Chi Cheng sat across from each other like they used to.
The only difference was Chi Cheng didn’t speak to her first.
Since he didn’t speak, An Ran couldn’t bring herself to either.
The atmosphere continued to be tense.
Finally, An Ran couldn’t bear the chilling atmosphere that seemed to freeze a person into ice.
She slapped her chopsticks on the bowl and got up to leave.
The servant saw An Ran had barely touched her food and quickly called out, "Miss An Ran? Where are you going?"
But unfortunately, An Ran had already run out.
Outside, it was very cold, with ice and snow stretching far and wide.
It had snowed yesterday, and it looked like it would snow again.
