Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Do You Love Him? (12)

This "he" naturally referred to Shi Che.

Although Ji Xinxin’s question was phrased as an inquiry, her tone was affirmative. As she spoke, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck right beside Ling Chuxia’s ear. She widened her eyes in shock, staring fixedly at Ji Xinxin and denying subconsciously, "Xinxin, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You just need to answer me, love or not love," Ji Xinxin’s words were forceful and impossible to ignore.

Ling Chuxia opened her mouth, ready to say she didn’t love him. Shi Che was her elder sister’s beloved, and he also loved her elder sister. How could she possibly love the man her sister loved?

But why couldn’t she now speak the clear answer she had in mind? The words seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to be voiced.

Ji Xinxin slowly smiled and sighed lightly, "A bystander is always clear-minded while the person involved is confused. Xiaxia, you’ve already fallen for Shi Che."

This sentence, like a second thunderclap, exploded before her eyes, leaving her mind blank. Instinctively, she shook her head and forced the words caught in her throat out, "No! I don’t love him!"

He belonged to her elder sister; she wouldn’t love him, nor could she love him.

Ji Xinxin did not refute Ling Chuxia’s obviously insincere denial, but curved her lips and spoke lazily, "Xiaxia, a woman willing to bear a child for a man is definitely not a mere impulse, nor for any other purpose. The only possibility is that this woman loves this man."

"You try so hard to conceive, is it really, as you think, entirely because you want to hold onto your position? Is there really not a bit of willing consent? Not a bit of desire to carry a child that is yours and Shi Che’s?"

"Xiaxia, human emotions are not something you can control at will. After so many years of being together day and night, can you truly have no feelings for Shi Che? Solely for your sister? If that were the case, you wouldn’t have been hurt by his words last time, and you wouldn’t have run away from home!"

"Of course, if you’re unwilling to face your own feelings, I won’t force you. But while you can deceive me and others, can you really deceive yourself?"

Ji Xinxin cast a glance at Ling Chuxia, who sat there in a daze with a vacant expression. Narrowing her eyes slightly, she continued, "Now, I have two suggestions for you. The first is, if you see clearly that you do love Shi Che, then go and confess your feelings to him. No matter the outcome, at least you will have accounted for your emotions. The second is, if you feel that you truly don’t love Shi Che and it’s all for your sister, then go find Mrs. Shi. She has been yearning for a child for so long; if you are pregnant, she will surely protect you, and you can calmly wait for your sister. Just remember, once you go to Mrs. Shi, there might never be any possibility between you and Shi Che in this lifetime."

"Xiaxia, sometimes in life, you have to learn to be selfish."

-

All night long, Ji Xinxin’s words reverberated in her mind, and no matter how much she tried to ignore or forget them, she couldn’t get rid of them.

Especially that sentence, "Xiaxia, you’ve already fallen for Shi Che," echoed in her ears like a curse, one she could not escape from.

Overwhelmed, Ling Chuxia abruptly covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, murmuring in denial, "No, I don’t love him, don’t love him, not at all."
