Chapter 1262: Her Love, Must Be Open and Aboveboard

Chi Rong discovered the palm print.

She did not expect that the slap she had delivered would still leave a mark, and she immediately felt a pang of heartache.

Bai Yufei was also stealing glances at Chi Rong.

Discovering that her mother was feeling heartache, Bai Yufei knew that her bitter-meat ploy had taken effect!

In her heart, she was still blaming her mother.

She even wanted to ignore her mother.

But Bai Yufei wanted too badly to know to what extent they had talked with Xu Xiaoxiao.

So, upon discovering that her mother's heart had softened, Bai Yufei began to play the victim: "My cheek hurts so much, I don't even dare to eat anything."

"Then eat a little less; it would be strange if you still had a big appetite after committing such a grave mistake."

Although Chi Rong felt heartache.

She still remembered why she had taken action.

So she did not yield.

And this reaction from her mother made Bai Yufei's eyes widen.

She looked at her mother in disbelief.

It was during this eye contact that Bai Yufei discovered her mother's expression...

Was very complicated.

Her brows were also tightly furrowed, as if she had a lot to say.

This made Bai Yufei's heart skip a beat.

She no longer had the heart to bicker with her mother, and gripping Chi Rong's arm, she asked anxiously: "You met Xu Xiaoxiao, didn't you? What did she say?!"

"She said she would drop the pursuit of responsibility against you."

Bai Yufei was stunned once again.

She did not expect that the matter would be resolved so easily!

As Bai Yufei slowly came back to her senses, a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth bit by bit.

But Chi Rong spoke up again at this moment: "Xu Xiaoxiao... also let us listen to something."

In an instant, Bai Yufei's smile froze on her lips!

The next second, she asked with a stiff expression: "What... did she let you listen to?"

Chi Rong felt embarrassed to describe the content she had heard.

She just stared at Bai Yufei with a look of worry.

Then she tentatively asked: "Tell Mom the truth, do you really... like Yiyan?"

Bai Yufei only felt a "boom" sound in her head!

Her reason had completely vanished!!

The next instant, Bai Yufei became flustered.

She even stammered: "Mom, listen to me... I... he... it's not like that..."

Chi Rong did not urge her, just sitting there quietly.

She was waiting for Bai Yufei to calm down.

Finally, Bai Yufei did indeed calm down.

But she no longer intended to keep up the pretense, and burning her bridges, she said: "I do like him!"

This answer made Chi Rong close her eyes.

Before this, she had still hoped that there must be a misunderstanding.

Her daughter... would not like her son...

Yet now, the fantasy was shattered.

Chi Rong had to face reality!

Bai Yufei was also watching her mother's reaction.

Discovering her mother's look of inability to accept it, Bai Yufei lost her temper and opened her mouth to question: "Qin Yiyan and I have no blood relationship, so why can't I like him!?"

"Because you grew up together, and Yiyan only treats you as a younger sister!"

"Then change that! Starting from today, I can stop being his younger sister; I want to fight for his heart!"

"Nonsense!"

Bai Yufei did not feel that she was talking nonsense.

On the contrary, she felt that she was very brave!

She even said to Chi Rong: "You always say I'm talking nonsense, but why can't you consider things from my perspective? I have liked him for so many years, always keeping it silently in the bottom of my heart; how miserable I have been!"

"Since you feel miserable, why not let yourself go?"

"Because I can't do it!"

Bai Yufei had also struggled and felt lost.

At her most painful moments, she had even thought of death!

Thinking of the bitterness she had experienced over these years, Bai Yufei could not help but let her tears fall.

But fortunately, Bai Yufei had already found the path she should persist in following!

Even if questioned by her family, she could still say righteously:

"If Brother lived happily, I would bless him, but look at what has happened since Liu Xin'ai married into our family!? I will not allow such an outstanding person to endure such a marriage!"

Bai Yufei lifted her chin, looking upright and forthright.

Chi Rong sighed: "Why haven't you understood one thing? No one forced Yiyan; he married Xin'ai because he was willing. Even when they have disputes, he has never thought of letting go. What does that explain? It explains that Yiyan, he likes Xin'ai!"

Chi Rong was speaking the truth.

Yet it was a truth that Bai Yufei refused to accept.

She turned her head away and retorted stubbornly, "They aren't suited for each other at all! Since they aren't compatible, they should break up immediately and cut their losses!"

"If Xin'ai isn't suitable for Yiyan, are you?"

"Of course, I understand him!"

"No, you don't understand him at all, and you don't understand what Yiyan will do once he finds out about this!"

Her mother's words seemed to be hinting at something.

Bai Yufei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother... knows too?"

"Yes, he knows. But he doesn't fully believe it yet. If you are willing to hide your feelings and find another excuse..."

"I don't want to hide! I'm sick of being evasive; I want my feelings to be open and aboveboard!"

Chi Rong had good intentions, still wanting to maintain this crumbling family.

But Bai Yufei had already lost her mind.

She simply could not listen to anyone else's advice!

She even clenched her fists and said, "If I can't be Qin Yiyan's woman, I would rather be a stranger to him!"

This slogan was shouted very loudly, but Chi Rong wore a look of pain.

She asked, "So, you haven't considered the feelings of your father and me at all?"

"Sorry, I can't consider that much, but I am your daughter, and that will never change!"

Bai Yufei's apology was very stiff.

It sounded insincere the moment it was spoken.

Moreover, it could be seen from her choices that she did not care in the slightest what her parents might think.

This chilled Chi Rong's heart.

Chi Rong closed her eyes, suddenly feeling very tired.

When she opened her eyes again, she said in a flat tone, "As long as you don't regret it."

Of course Bai Yufei would not regret it!

She even felt that this day had come too late!

And... she couldn't wait to see Qin Yiyan!

Chi Rong saw Bai Yufei's impatience and said, "Don't be in a rush, he will come to find you in a while, you should now..."

She had originally wanted to persuade Bai Yufei to reconsider.

But things had reached this point; even if Chi Rong wore her tongue out, nothing would change.

So Chi Rong said no more; she sighed and left Bai Yufei's room.

Once Chi Rong left, Bai Yufei became excited instead.

She had hoped for so many years, and finally, the day had come when she could express her feelings!

This day was too important, and Bai Yufei wanted to dress up a bit.

But time was tight, so Bai Yufei could only apply some lipstick to add a bit of color to her complexion.

Just as she finished applying it in the mirror, she heard a knock at the door.

Bai Yufei became nervous all at once!

She smoothed her hair again before turning around, her voice crisp: "Come in."

The man outside the door pushed it open and entered.

Bai Yufei looked nervously at Qin Yiyan as he walked over slowly, her heart beating very fast!

When the man she loved walked up to her, Bai Yufei lowered her head and called out shyly and timidly, "Yiyan..."

This delicate voice was filled with affection.

Yet it made Qin Yiyan frown.

Jiang Baobao's expression turned ugly in an instant; she gritted her teeth and turned to walk out.
