"Mmhm~Xuan, faster!"
"Baby, don't rush. I'm about to..."
The woman's coquettish moans and the husky whispers of a man, coupled with bouts of suggestive panting, were emanating from the room. Although the voices sounded somewhat different from usual, Ji Yunxi still managed to recognize them — they belonged to her own elder sister and her fiancé, Xiao Lingxuan.
What were her sister and Lingxuan doing in the room?!
With a light touch, the door swayingly opened up.
The scene within the room slowly revealed itself to Ji Yunxi's sight. She gazed at the entangled duo on the bed, her mouth agape, yet she failed to utter a single word. Her mind went blank; the scene she just witnessed was too shocking and overwhelming, it had left her utterly bewildered, momentarily forgetting all possible reactions.
It was only after both individuals finished did they notice Ji Yunxi standing at the doorway. The man immediately got up from the woman's body. His naked form, marked with remnants of their shared intimacy, seemed particularly stinging to Ji Yunxi’s eyes — a painful reminder of their betrayal.
Her palm slowly clenched into a fist; her body slightly shuddered out of utmost anger.
Surprise dashed across Xiao Lingxuan's handsome face before devolving into panic. He quickly grabbed his robe and put it on.
"Yunxi, why are you here? Let me explain!" Xiao Lingxuan hurriedly approached the door, intending to grasp Ji Yunxi's hand.
Ji Yunxi violently shook him off, "Don't touch me! Why am I here? Hah~ Otherwise, how would I know that my fiancé and my dearest sister are sleeping together! An explanation? Xiao Lingxuan, what do you want to explain to me? How did you guys get into my bed shamelessly?!” The venomous words poured out freely, mirroring her utter disdain for their actions.
"Yunxi, don't say things unpleasantly.” Ji Shiran, fully dressed now, emerged from the room; her fair arm wrapped around Xiao Lingxuan’s, she opened her mouth to calmly say, “Now that you’ve seen everything, we don't wish to keep this from you. Lingxuan wants to marry me. In a few days, he will propose to our family to break off the engagement. It's better for you to know early to reduce the pain. I'm doing this for your good."
"For my good? Ji Shiran, you can even say such words. You really have no self-respect.” The statement made Ji Yunxi laugh in disbelief.
“You!” Seeing herself losing in their verbal spar, Ji Shiran twisted her face towards Xiao Lingxuan, “Lingxuan, say something!”
Xiao Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally managed to murmur, “Yunxi, I...I only see you as a sister. The engagement was my grandfather's decision and I couldn't go against it. I've always loved Shiran, so please, don't say such hurtful things. I can only apologize... you will find——”
"Splat!"
A loud slap landed on Ji Shiran's face, leaving a red mark on her fair complexion. As Ji Yunxi was about to slap Xiao Lingxuan, Ji Shiran suddenly stepped in front of him.
Ji Yunxi was stunned, looking at his hand in surprise, but he didn't regret it at all.
Every decision was attributed to Grandpa. If it really was Grandpa Xiao's idea, why didn't he explain it to him three years ago? He played with her for three whole years, and after getting engaged, he told her that he loved her sister.
It was just too much!
"Ji Shiran, Xiao Lingxuan—I curse you both to never find happiness in this life! As long as I live, I will show you what it's like to wish you were dead!" Saying this, she punctuated every word, as if choking on her own sobs.
Then, without paying any heed to their reactions, she turned around, eager to get away from them as quickly as possible.
