The hairpin seemed so familiar to Luo Li.
âAh... it looks like Xiao Qingâs hairpin.â
Luo Li suddenly recalled Feng Ruqing telling her that she had a pair of hairpins that were capable of condensing spiritual qi. Hence, Feng Ruqing always wore it wherever she went. It was a pity that someone had stolen one of them. Hence, she only had one of them left.
Seeing the hairpin in Qin Chenâs hand, Luo Liâs eyes lit up with joy. She quickly rushed over to stop Qin Chen.
âIâve seen this before...â Luo Liâs eyes lit up as she pointed at the hairpin in Qin Chenâs hand.
Qin Chen paused and tightened his grip on the hairpin. He stared at Luo Li.
âCome with me, or you will regret it!â Luo Li said earnestly as she stared solemnly at Qin Chen.
âAlright,â Qin Chen answered after pondering for a while.
Hearing Qin Chenâs answer, Luo Li was thrilled. She could finally do something for Feng Ruqing.
***
As soon as Qin Feiâer and her servant, Liu Xia, stepped out of the garden, they bumped into Qin Chen who was walking toward the manorâs gate with Luo Li.
As the people in the Qin family cared about their reputation so much, they had never restricted Qin Chen to do anything he wished. Hence, if Qin Chen wanted to leave the Qin family, simply no one would stop him.
âYoung Lady Qin, it is no wonder that he dares to ignore you. Heâs actually in touch with the manor lady of the Luo family. Young Lady Qin, donât worry about him anymore. The Qin family has always been treating him so well and has never failed to provide him with food and drink. However, he has never appreciated it.â Liu Xia sneered.
âHow long Qinâer and Luo Li have been together?â Qin Feiâer was lost in thought. As she did not pay attention to Liu Xiaâs words, she did not stop her.
Just as Qin Feiâer regained her focus, she could clearly see an unprecedented emotion creeping into Qin Chenâs cold eyes, but she could not tell whether it was agitation or... excitement.
âDid you see... the emotion on Qinâerâs face just now?â Qin Feiâer clenched her fists, tightly. An oppressive feeling grew in her heart.
Qin Chen had always been cold and had never really shown any emotions on his face, let alone smile. Hence, Qin Feiâer did not care how Qin Yue treated her as she knew that Qin Chen had been treating everyone the same way. But now, Qin Chen had proved her wrong.
âYoung Lady Qin...â Startled, Liu Xia turned to look at Qin Chen.
âItâs not something bad for Qinâer to have feelings and desires. At least, he wonât treat me coldly anymore. However, why... since he actually has other emotions, why is he treating me so coldly all this while?â Qin Feiâer lowered her eyes, the corner of her lips curved into a bitter smile.
âIâm his sister. As Father and Mother donât like him, Iâm his dearest person in the world! Why does Qin Chen treat me like this...â Qin Feiâer could hardly stand upright. Her lips were trembling and tears streamed down her face.
Qin Feiâer was Qin Chenâs dearest person in the world, yet he was so close to Luo Li and did not even allow Qin Feiâer to walk near him.
Qin Feiâer had never seen Qin Chen get so close to Luo Li before. Although Qin Feiâer knew that both Qin Chen and she would marry someone else, she could not accept the fact that Qin Chen was treating another lady better than his own sister.
