93: Chapter 90 Love is Possession, it is Giving Everything_1 93: Chapter 90 Love is Possession, it is Giving Everything_1 Liang Qiaoqiao returned to her home country two days later, and Nanxi and Yang Su, among others, went to pick her up.
When Nanxi saw Qiaoqiao emerging from the fluctuating crowd, she felt an urge to break into tears.
She rushed over and buried herself in Qiaoqiaoâs arms without uttering a word, soaking Qiaoqiaoâs eyes with unshed tears.
Qiaoqiao pulled her away and said, âAlright now, did you not see I am totally fine?
There are too many people watching, those who know us will think we are devoted sisters, and those who have no idea might even assume us to be bosom buddies in love!â
For better or worse, Nanxi immediately laughed off her tears.
What in the world was that all aboutâ¦
Qiaoqiao then invited everyone to dinner, expressing that she was âindebted to everyone for surviving such a catastrophe.â
Nanxi awkwardly grinned, joining the others in their collective happiness.
After all, everyone was delighted to have Qiaoqiao back!
Qiaoqiao had drunk heavily, and was utterly intoxicated.
Nanxi had to escort her back home.
Qiaoqiao couldnât keep still on the bus ride, mumbling nonsense the entire time.
Nanxi, looking bothered, asked the bus driver to take them to Qiaoqiaoâs apartment.
It would certainly cause Qiaoqiaoâs uncle and grandmother undue worry if she was sent back to the Liang family home in such a drunken state.
With narrowed eyes, a disoriented Qiaoqiao demanded more alcohol.
She was proving to be quite a handful for Nanxi.
Despite her slender build, Qiaoqiaoâs height of 1.72 meters made her unexpectedly heavy to manage.
âCousin, could you behave yourself?
Weâre nearly there,â Nanxi sighed.
âNanxi?â Liang Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, her dreamy gaze filled with teary shimmer.
Her ruby lips gleamed enticingly, and she looked breath-takingly beautiful.
Nanxi inwardly thanked her luck that it was she who was by Qiaoqiaoâs side.
If it had been any man holding her this way, he would likely have been unable to resist the urge to kiss her.
âYes, Cousin, Iâm Nanxi, please stop fidgetingâ¦
weâre nearly there!â Nanxi replied.
But Qiaoqiao didnât seem to hear her, instead stretching out her hand to touch Nanxiâs face, and looking utterly lost, she mumbled, âNanxi, Iâm sorryâ¦
really sorry.
I didnât mean to deceive you.â
Nanxi frowned confusingly and asked, âWhat have you deceived me about?â
Qiaoqiao was momentarily taken aback, âWhat did I deceive you about?
uhm⦠What did I deceive you about?â
Then she shook her head, âNoâ¦
I canât tell you, itâs a secretâ¦
I canât tell you.â
As the words slipped out, she began to cry, clinging to Nanxiâs neck and refusing to let go.
Nanxi pondered, thinking of how Qiaoqiaoâs antics reminded her of a heartbroken lover, and how she kept spouting drunken nonsense.
She felt she knew her cousin well: Qiaoqiao was incredibly naive and hot-tempered, yet also kindhearted.
Importantly, she had always treated Nanxi exceptionally well.
Although Qiaoqiao is just her cousin, in Nanxiâs heart, she is more significant than a biological sister.
The next day, when Qiaoqiao woke up, it was around ten in the morning, and Nanxi was engrossed in writing her novel.
Nursing a slight headache, Qiaoqiao tried to go over some of the things that occurred the previous day.
The memories were hazy, but she had the nagging feeling that she had said something she shouldnât have.
She glanced at Nanxi, who appeared not to notice anything unusual.
Clearing her throat, she thought that perhaps she had been overthinking things.
âThereâs food in the kitchen, just heat it up a bit and you can eat!â Nanxi declared without looking back, fully focused on her typing.
âDieting,â Qiaoqiao said dismissively and ambled away.
Nanxi frowned and watched Qiaoqiao walk away, her figure full of inherent elegance.
âDieting, huh?
If she diets any more, she might just sprout wings and fly,â Nanxi mumbled to herself.
At noon, they both went to the Liang family home.
The return of Qiaoqiao made Liang Youquan quite jubilant.
He prepared a wide array of dishes, but the old womanâs gaze wandered between her granddaughter and her grandniece, finally settling on Qiaoqiao.
âQiaoqiao, youâre 27 this year,â she commented.
âWhen are you going to bring a nice young man home to make grandma happy?â
âCough!â Liang Qiaoqiao, who was in the middle of eating, choked on her food.
Addressing the elderly lady, she said, âGrandma, Iâm not in a hurry.
I want to stay by your side for a few more years!â
The old lady wasnât pleased at hearing this.
âYouâre 27 and not in a hurry?
Do you really want to wait until youâre 30â¦â
After speaking, she sighed, âQiaoqiao, Iâm not pressuring you, but you really canât wait any longer because of your age.
When I was your age, I had already married your grandfather when I was 13â¦â
Liang Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, knowing her grandmother was about to bring up her own marriage at the age of 13 once again.
She wasnât annoyed, she just felt sorry for her grandmother.
Even at this age, she was still worried about her!
After dinner, Liang Qiaoqiao needed to drop by the club.
Nanxi was going with her, so Liang Qiaoqiao drove her there.
In the car, Nanxi asked Liang Qiaoqiao, âCousin, honestly, I think your standards are too high.
Men are all more or less the same, just find someone you donât dislike!â
Liang Qiaoqiao glanced at her, âFrom what youâre saying, it seems like you donât have deep feelings for Li Weihuan either.
At most, you donât dislike him, right?â
Nanxi frowned, âThatâs not it!â
Liang Qiaoqiao insisted, âThen tell me, what exactly are your feelings for Li Weihuan?â
Nanxi didnât answer.
Liang Qiaoqiao took one hand off the steering wheel and waved Nanxi over.
Nanxi leaned closer, and Liang Qiaoqiao whispered, âNanxi, tell me the truth, have you and Li Weihuan everâ¦you know!â
You know?
Nanxi was stunned and confused, âWhich one?â
Liang Qiaoqiao was frustrated, âDo I bloody well have to spell it out?
Make love!
What else could it be?â
Makeâ¦love!!!
âCough, cough, coughâ¦â Nanxi touched her chest, her face turning red.
She protested, âCousin, where is your mind at?
How could that be possible!â
Liang Qiaoqiaoâs smile deepened, âSo that means you havenât?â
Nanxi bit her lip, her face turning even redder.
Liang Qiaoqiao said, âNanxi, youâve known Li Weihuan for seven years and been in a relationship for six of them.
You havenât done that kind of thing yet, have you considered why?â
Why?
Nanxiâs eyebrows flickered.
What could be the reason?
âNanxi, I must admit, you and Weihuan have a good relationship.
You really like him, you rely on him, youâre grateful to him.
But maybe all these feelings havenât developed into love.â
âWhen you like someone, you enjoy their company and hope that feeling lasts forever.
But when you love someone, you not only want to be with themâyou want to be part of them, understand them, become one with them.
You have a strong desire to possess them, hoping they will always be yours, only yoursâ¦â
As Liang Qiaoqiao said this, she sighed, âNanxi, I didnât really want to say this, but Iâve observed your relationship with Li Weihuan over the years.
I think he treats you well, cherishes you, loves you as if youâre the only thing in his life.
But honestly, I donât believe your relationship will work out because youâre not suitable for each otherâ¦â
Liang Qiaoqiao looked at Nanxi again, and said, âNanxi, youâre a smart girl.
I believe you understand what I mean!
Youâre my cousin, but in my heart, youâre like my sister.
I hope youâre happier than anyone else.
So please, donât force yourself!â
Nanxi was silent.
She didnât know what to say, because she couldnât refute â sheâs thought many times that she and Li Weihuan werenât suitable for each otherâ¦
The kind of man Nanxi had always been hoping for in her heart was actually not at all like Li Weihuanâ¦
ââ
So, what kind of man is Nanxi looking for?
