Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1008 - Chapter 1008 Chapter 1007 In Control

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: In Control Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: In Control Zhuanzhuan heard her say this and hurriedly gestured a tiny bit with her little finger, saying pleasingly, “Just a tiny bit, you wouldn’t notice it unless you look closely.”

“You’re getting better at flattering people!”

Nan Fei first took out some biscuits and a drink from her bag, and after opening them, the sisters ate and chatted.

“Are you doing well in school? How are you getting along with your classmates?” Nan Fei asked.

“Pretty well!” Zhuanzhuan took a sip of her drink before carelessly saying, “Sister, don’t you trust me? I’m sure I can get along very well with my classmates.”

Nan Fei nodded; indeed, whether in her past life or this one, Zhuanzhuan never seemed to worry about this aspect.

That was also the main reason she felt at ease allowing Zhuanzhuan to study in the Imperial City.

“That’s good, I don’t have much time, and I won’t be able to take care of you in the future, so you have to take good care of yourself,” Nan Fei said with a meaningful glance at Zhuanzhuan.

She had made a decision last night; even though there was no evidence now, since there were doubts, she couldn’t care for her wholeheartedly and trust her as she had before.

In this lifetime, her trust was limited. She wouldn’t be as naive as before, believing whatever others said.

Being deceived and still helping the deceiver count their gains.

Nan Fei thought weakly, if she withdrew a bit of her trust, she would be more cautious. They say, harbor no ill intentions but never let down your guard, right?

But no matter how much she tried to numb herself, when it came down to suspecting her sister, whom she had invested the most in, she felt a suffocating pain in her chest.

Nan Fei hardly dared to think, but she forced herself to consider it.

“Sister, are you okay? Why do I feel like you’re not in a good mood today?” Zhuanzhuan asked doubtfully. “Is it because of Huo Beijiang?”

The name Huo Beijiang, coming from Zhuanzhuan’s mouth, startled Nan Fei, compressing all her thoughts at that moment.

“Of course not! Why would you bring him up?” Nan Fei quickly regained her composure, subtly probing.

“I just feel like you’ve been paying more and more attention to Huo Beijiang lately, so I was curious,” Zhuanzhuan said straightforwardly, looking intently at Nan Fei. “So… are you still with Huo Beijiang?”

Nan Fei pursed her lips, her heart growing colder, “What do you mean by ‘together’?” Her tone was now a bit more forceful.

Zhuanzhuan was startled, and a meaningful dark light flashed in her lowered eyes.

It seemed her guess was right; her sister hadn’t heeded her advice to break up with Huo Beijiang. Not only had they not broken up, but their relationship had also improved.

What should she do?

She had made it so clear, why was her sister still so stubborn? Such a headache!

“Zhuanzhuan, I don’t understand what you mean, can you clarify?” Nan Fei pressed on the topic.

The more you care about someone, the harder it becomes to stand not being openly together with them. She used to control her feelings, keeping them hidden, but now she couldn’t manage that at all.

She didn’t want her marriage to be under Zhuanzhuan’s control.

Yes, that’s control.

She hadn’t thought of this term before; she had just been accommodating Zhuanzhuan, but now that she thought about it, it wasn’t accommodation–it was control.

Nan Fei’s expression cooled markedly; nobody could stand being controlled by others.

“You like Huo Beijiang, and Huo Beijiang likes you too. You still maintain a romantic relationship!” Zhuanzhuan appeared more anxious, clutching her hands tightly, and asked in a low voice, “Sister, are you angry?”
