Seeing her sister’s cold and frosty expression, Liu Mengxi shrank her neck in fear.
Five years ago, after their parents died in a car accident, Liu Yunshuang took on the roles of both elder sister and mother. One could say Liu Mengxi was completely raised by Liu Yunshuang alone.
Liu Yunshuang was known throughout Linjiang City as the Ice Queen CEO—cool, aloof, and rarely smiling. Her teachings toward Liu Mengxi were always extremely strict.
So, deep down, the little loli was genuinely afraid of her sister.
“You were with Jiang Che last night?”
Observing her sister, whose appearance was clearly different from usual, Liu Yunshuang frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, she asked in a calm but serious tone.
Her phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as she studied Liu Mengxi’s expression and glanced over her legs.
When she saw the awkward way Liu Mengxi walked and the slight feminine charm lingering in her features, Liu Yunshuang immediately guessed what had happened.
Even though she had no personal experience in such matters, her age and maturity meant she wasn’t some clueless innocent.
Besides, she had long known her sister was deeply obsessed with Jiang Che, the eldest young master of the Jiang Family—to the point of complete infatuation.
Liu Mengxi hadn’t returned all night, and her phone had been off. Liu Yunshuang only found out through the bodyguards that her dear sister had been seen entering and leaving the Yunhai Grand Hotel with Jiang Che.
Originally, Liu Yunshuang still clung to a bit of wishful thinking, but now that she saw her sister like this, her heart completely sank…
She had been busy with company affairs these past days, often working late into the night and rarely returning home. Who would’ve thought her dear sister would seize the chance and… give herself away.
Liu Yunshuang’s fair fists clenched unconsciously, her heart filled with frustration and anger.
Seeing the little cabbage she had raised for eighteen years get picked by Jiang Che just like that, it was impossible for her not to feel upset.
She didn’t actually dislike Jiang Che. After all, his reputation over the years had been excellent—clean and disciplined, never involved in any scandals like other rich second-generation heirs.
But…
Her sister had just turned eighteen! That bastard!
Her life had only just begun, and she had already given away something so important?
…
“Yes, Sister…”
“Mengxi was with Brother all night~”
“And Mengxi and Brother have already done everything~”
“Sister will definitely bless her little sister, right?”
Liu Mengxi’s watery eyes sparkled as she blinked, her tone lively and playful.
Seeing her sister not instantly explode in rage, she knew this matter still had room for negotiation.
Besides, she had already given herself away—what could her sister even do if she disagreed?
Anyway, she had completely set her heart on her brother. She would never leave him.
Knowing full well her sister would try to stop her if she had confessed beforehand, the little loli went ahead and did it first, then decided to inform after.
Liu Yunshuang: …
Liu Yunshuang rubbed her temples in annoyance, feeling extremely speechless and deeply helpless.
How could someone as shrewd as her have such a silly, naive, romance-obsessed little sister?
The easier something is to get, the less it is cherished.
Did her silly sister not even understand this basic truth?
Or had her love for Jiang Che reached the point where she no longer cared about anything else?
But her sister had just turned eighteen—did she even understand what love really meant?
Now that things had come to this, what could she do?
Although Liu Yunshuang had always been strict in her teachings, she still cared deeply for her sister.
Thankfully, Jiang Che wasn’t some arrogant playboy.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
“Until school starts, you’re staying at home. Reflect on your actions.”
“You’re not allowed to go anywhere.”
“I’ll have the bodyguards monitor you 24/7.”
Leaving behind a cold remark, Liu Yunshuang shoved aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, turned around, and went upstairs to her study to handle work.
As the CEO of the Liu Group, Liu Yunshuang had a constant mountain of documents to deal with. Her workload was massive, and she didn’t have the time to keep arguing with her sister.
She couldn’t beat her. She couldn’t scold her.
And the little girl had already grown used to her cold attitude—she wasn’t even afraid of it anymore.
This time, the only solution Liu Yunshuang could think of was to place her sister under soft house arrest, so she could calm down for a few days.
“Hmph, Sister is such a meanie~”
Liu Mengxi made a face at her sister’s back, but she accepted the punishment with no complaints.
There were only two weeks left until school started—she could wait.
Jiang Che was also a student at Linjiang University. Once school began, she would have plenty of chances to go on dates with him.
Imagining a sweet campus life with her brother, the little loli in white stockings hummed a tune and returned to her room.
…
Back in her room, following Jiang Che’s instructions, Liu Mengxi first went into the bathroom and then swallowed the Bone Cleansing Pill and the Youth-Retaining Pill.
She hadn’t understood earlier why her good brother kept emphasizing she should take the Bone Cleansing Pill in the bathroom—but now she did.
The Bone Cleansing Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth, and the effects kicked in fast. Her skin quickly began expelling layer upon layer of impurities.
After washing up and putting on a long white dress, she stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her reflection with satisfaction.
Liu Mengxi had always been confident in her appearance.
After all, back in high school, she was hailed as the cutest Campus Belle loli and had countless admirers.
Now, after taking the Youth-Retaining Pill, her skin became even more supple and radiant—so fair it seemed to glow like snow, far surpassing the effects of any high-end cosmetics.
Noticing the changes in her body, Liu Mengxi grew more and more excited.
Lying on her soft big bed, her white-stocking-clad legs swinging back and forth, she picked up her phone and started chatting with Jiang Che, eager to share the good news.
[Brother, this Youth-Retaining Pill is amazing! My skin is so much whiter now. I won’t even need makeup anymore…]
[Hehe, thank you Brother~ Mwah~]
[As long as you like it.]
[Like? Mengxi LOVES it~]
[Brother, Sister already found out about us. She grounded me and said I can’t go out until school starts.]
[That means I won’t see you for two whole weeks… Waaa.]
[It’s alright. Just two weeks—it’ll go by fast.]
[By the way, Brother, do you have more Youth-Retaining Pills?]
[If we give one to Sister, she probably won’t stop us from being together anymore…]
After typing those messages, Liu Mengxi stared nervously at her screen, waiting quietly for Jiang Che’s reply.
With something this good, the first person she thought of was her sister, Liu Yunshuang.
She really did want to use the Youth-Retaining Pill as a bargaining chip to gain her sister’s approval.
If that worked and her sister lifted the restriction, wouldn’t she be able to see her brother every day?
Maybe she could even move into his Qingteng Villa permanently.
Imagining the sweet future with Jiang Che, Liu Mengxi couldn’t help but giggle to herself.
As for whether her sister would refuse?
She never even considered that possibility.
Liu Mengxi didn’t believe her sister could resist the temptation of the Youth-Retaining Pill.
