Chapter 1979: Miserable Fiancée vs. Daughter of a Wealthy Family (Part 14)
To be honest, although there is a trace of flattery in Chang Fei’s words, most of what he said is true.
He always feels that, after a few days without seeing this sister, she seems to have become much more beautiful.
It really is the case.
These days, Gu Shengyin drips a drop of Spiritual Spring Water into her drinking water every day, and also uses some during bathing. You can’t see it right away, but after a few days, there are indeed noticeable changes on her body.
For example, her already young and fair skin has become more delicate and radiant, and some small imperfections that were previously unnoticed have completely disappeared.
Her complexion is much better than before.
From Chang Fei’s perspective at this moment, he feels that Chang Jiujiu, standing there in front of him, seems to be glowing all over.
He already knew his sister was good-looking, but for the first time, he realized that Chang Jiujiu turned out to be so beautiful.
A hint of obsession flashed in Chang Fei’s eyes, and his expression became increasingly tender and soft.
He looked at Gu Shengyin gently and said, "Sister Jiu, I heard there’s a flower forest with wonderful scenery outside town. Would you like to accompany your brother to admire it?"
Gu Shengyin frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable as if Chang Fei’s gaze was glued to her.
He’s still not giving up!
Gu Shengyin took a step back and said, "The sun is a bit strong outside, I’m in no mood to go out. Why don’t you find some friends who share your interests instead?"
That’s a rejection.
Chang Fei’s face turned cold upon hearing this.
But his tone remained soft as he said, "That’s right, girls as beautiful and delicate as Sister Jiu shouldn’t get sunburned."
Gu Shengyin’s face dropped.
She understood then, Chang Fei really hadn’t given up.
Are these words something a brother should say to his sister?
She said solemnly, "Brother, as a scholar, you should know the difference between men and women. Such words are inappropriate to say to your sister."
Seeing her face flushed with anger, her expression as cold as frost, yet with another captivating demeanor, Chang Fei grew even more enamored.
He said, "Sister Jiu, can’t you see your brother’s sincere heart? What I feel for you has never been sibling affection. You were meant to be my..."
"Shut up!" Gu Shengyin interrupted sharply.
She never expected Chang Fei to be so bold, actually speaking such words directly.
She angrily said, "Is it because you failed the exams and lost your mind, that you say such absurd things? Now that father has adopted you, you are a legitimate member of the Chang Family. How can you say such nonsensical things to your own sister?"
That said, she turned to leave.
Chang Fei suddenly realized his impulsiveness, and instinctively chased after her, wanting to hold Gu Shengyin back.
He hadn’t expected that despite looking frail, Chang Jiujiu moved quickly.
Panic-stricken, he hurriedly ran up to try to grab her.
Gu Shengyin’s sharp eyes spotted the pool at the edge of the corridor.
Her pace suddenly slowed, as if exhausted—Chang Fei seized the opportunity and grabbed her sleeve.
Then Gu Shengyin gave a sharp tug, without any visible movement on her part, yet Chang Fei felt a tremendous force strike a spot on his waist, causing his body to slacken and be dragged backward by momentum.
The icy pool water engulfed his entire being.
