The love story of a wealthy brother and sister

The week before the New Year was the Little New Year. On that day, Lin Yingci returned to China without telling anyone. She went to her grandmother’s home in Shanghai as soon as she got off the plane and sent a WeChat message to Wei Jin:

I'm back in Shanghai, at my grandmother's house.

·

Wei Jin was still in class. He was startled when he saw the WeChat message and quickly replied:

I'll be back after class.

Thinking about it, I’m still a little excited. I’m actually going to meet the legendary Lin Yingci.

At the same time, she quickly sent a WeChat message to Lin Jingran:

Your baby Xiaoci has returned to Shanghai and is living at her grandmother's house.

——She would tell Lin Jingran everything, after all, Lin Jingran had helped her a lot.

·

Lin Jingran saw the news after the meeting and felt inexplicably better.

There was also a dinner party at home in the evening, but he made the excuse that he had something to do and didn't go.

He went to the company cafeteria to eat something, bought some things, and finally drove slowly to Du Meifen and her friends' residence.

·

Yu Xiu bought a lot of vegetables and the three of them were busy in the kitchen. They were stewing chicken soup in the pot, Yu Xiu was preparing shrimps, and Lin Yingci was busy picking red amaranth.

"Do your parents not know you're back?" Du Meifen was cooking braised pork ribs in the pot. After asking this question, she went back to cutting wild rice stems.

"Yes," Lin Yingci nodded, "I will be taking a flight back to the United States the day after tomorrow at noon."

She lowered her head, her expression not looking good, and muttered softly, "I don't plan to tell them."

"That's not good," Yu Xiu looked at Lin Yingci, "If your father knew that you didn't go to see him after you came back, I'm afraid he would be sad."

Lin Yingci suddenly hesitated and murmured, "Let's see if I have time tomorrow."

She suddenly remembered something, looked up at Yu Xiu, smiled and asked, "Are you happy that your sister is back?"

"Yes," Yu Xiu also laughed, "It's all thanks to Jing Ran, he helped A Jin a lot,"

As she spoke, her face turned suspicious: "How come Jingran didn't know you were back?"

Du Meifen also pushed her reading glasses and looked at Lin Yingci: "You two... haven't reconciled yet?"

Lin Yingci was looking embarrassed when Wei Jin suddenly came in: "I'm back~"

She rushed straight into the kitchen, but was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Yingci: No wonder Lin Jingran hanged himself on a tree, this is a magical tree!

She was white and translucent, with skin as white as cream, and uncut black hair draped straight behind her. She had a very pretty oval face, long eyes and a high nose... It was difficult for Wei Jin to describe her specifically, but Lin Yingci was definitely the most beautiful person she had ever seen since she was a child.

"Hello," she stood beside Lin Yingci and helped her pick vegetables.

"Hello," Lin Yingci also smiled and suddenly looked at her grandmother, "It feels like meeting someone online."

"We were always chatting through the screen before," Wei Jin smiled and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't know you were so beautiful in person."

She paused and looked at Yu Xiu. "She's so beautiful in the photos, but when I see her in person I realize she's not photogenic."

Lin Yingci smiled and said, "You are also very beautiful."

"You two are both beautiful," Yu Xiu smiled and looked at Du Meifen, "your grandmother was also a great beauty when she was young, and your grandfather was still a village grass,"

"Then we have good genes," Wei Jin smiled and looked at Lin Yingci again, "I have a studio here, would you like to take me to see it?"

"Okay," Lin Yingci stood up and went to wash her hands again. Du Meifen was right next to her and couldn't help but ask again, "How are you and Jing Ran doing?"

"It's fine, grandma." Lin Yingci glanced at her, "Don't worry about it."

After that, she followed Wei Jin upstairs. The small attic was full of scraps of cloth, a sewing machine, a large ironing machine, and large hangers full of all kinds of skirts. Lin Yingci couldn't help but touch a lace tube top dress: "Did you make this?"

Wei Jin nodded: "I studied fine arts, but my dream is to be a fashion designer and create my own dress brand."

Lin Yingci nodded: "Very good."

"I signed up for the National Designer Competition in October and have passed the preliminary round. The final will be in March," she handed her a pile of sketchbooks, "These are all my sketches."

Lin Yingci flipped through the books one by one. On the white paper were all the various skirts she had drawn with pencils, with notes on the color, fabric, and craftsmanship.

"You are very talented," Lin Yingci looked at her, "Tell me when you really want to do it, and I will invest."

"Really?" Wei Jin was overjoyed and took her hand. "You are so kind."

Lin Yingci also took her hand, and the two of them shook hands. Suddenly, Wei Jin said, "Lin Jingran will be here later. You have to be mentally prepared."

Lin Yingci's face changed slightly. Just as she was about to ask something, Wei Jin took the lead and said, "I'm sorry, I said that."

Lin Yingci took a deep breath, smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Can't you two sit down and talk about your problem?"

Wei Jin pulled her to sit on the sofa next to him and said earnestly:

"He really likes you very much,"

Lin Yingci didn't know what to say, and was afraid that if she told her, she would turn around and talk to Lin Jingran, so she said:

"You know, he and I are brother and sister, we—"

"You are still speaking such official language to me," Wei Jin interrupted her, somewhat dissatisfied, "Let me ask you, if he gets into an accident tomorrow, what will you do?"

Lin Yingci frowned: "What?"

"Isn't there a saying that you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?"

Wei Jin reminded again,

"People are right in front of us, so we should cherish them."

Lin Yingci fell into deep thought.

·

"Jingran is here," Du Meifen's voice suddenly came from downstairs. The two ran to the balcony and saw Du Meifen personally running to the door to greet them. Lin Jingran was carrying a lot of things, and Yu Xiu took several of them. The three of them walked into the house together.

Lin Jingran looked up at them proudly and smiled at Lin Yingci.

·

Every time she saw him, Lin Yingci was sure in her heart that she loved him, but because she cared about him too much, she could not accept the slightest betrayal.

·

"Come sit here, Jingran," Du Meifen asked Lin Jingran to sit next to Lin Yingci.

"it is good,"

Lin Jingran sat down next to her naturally, looked at her with a smile on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

Lin Yingci turned her head slightly to look at him, thought for a moment and said, "I was just planning to tell you,"

"Really?" Lin Jingran didn't believe it.

"If you two have anything to say, just talk about it," Du Meifen said with a smile, and then looked at Yu Xiu, who was putting the soup brought from the kitchen in the middle of the dining table and shouted, "Let's eat."

"Grandma and my mom must have worked hard to make so many dishes," Wei Jin said with a smile.

"Eat more," Yu Xiu looked at her, then at Lin Yingci, picked up a chicken leg and put it in Lin Yingci's bowl, her eyes a little distressed: "You should eat more too, you've lost weight."

·

After dinner, Xiaoci and Weijin also helped clean up. Lin Jingran suddenly approached Lin Yingci and asked, "Want to go out for a walk?"

The voice was not loud, but Du Meifen heard it. She quickly agreed: "Yes, you two should go out for a walk. It's not easy for you to see each other."

Lin Yingci smiled and glanced at her grandmother, then nodded: "Okay."

Wei Jin looked at their backs as they walked out one after another, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. She couldn't get this man anyway, so matching him with her sister was the best option.

·

It was a bit cold in the winter in Shanghai. Two people walked side by side along the river.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" He always looked at her from time to time.

"I'll be back at noon the day after tomorrow," she said, but she didn't look at him, just staring ahead.

"Have you read the WeChat message I sent you?" he couldn't help but ask.

She nodded: "I saw it"

"Then you..." He looked at her again, "Do you have any...feelings?"

He struggled to find a word.

"What do you think?" She said in a light tone, "You have plenty of beautiful girls around you. If it's not her, there are others."

Lin Jingran was secretly happy, at least he heard what she really thought.

"You know I wouldn't," he suddenly stood in front of her, blocking her way, "The photo you saw was also because I was in a very messy mood at that time," he thought for a moment and explained, "but nothing really happened, not that day, and not afterwards."

Lin Yingci also raised her head slightly and looked at him - his ardent gaze made her lose her thoughts a little, not knowing what to say. Lin Jingran suddenly took her hand and placed it on the sweater inside his coat - at the position of his heart, she could feel his strong heartbeat,

"Please check my conscience," Lin Jingran couldn't help but laugh, "I'll tell you, okay?"

Lin Yingci couldn't help but smile. She wanted to reach back her hand but was held down by Lin Jingran: "I only have you, the past, present and future."

The atmosphere became solemn, but Lin Yingci suddenly pulled back her hand and muttered, "Where did you learn that?"

"I just thought of it," Lin Jingran said helplessly, "You still don't believe me?"

"I believe you," Lin Yingci bravely met his gaze, "but I'm very confused right now."

"It's okay," Lin Jingran comforted softly, "You have plenty of time to sort it out slowly."

——The words "there is plenty of time" hurt Lin Yingci, and she suddenly thought of what Wei Jin had just said.

She couldn't help but put her arms around Lin Jingran's waist and rested her chin on his shoulder. Lin Jingran was flattered and hugged her the next second with an unconcealable smile on his face.

·

At night, Lin Yingci was staying at her grandmother's house. Lin Jingran sent her a WeChat message, in which he wrote down everything he had not said that night:

Letting you feel my heartbeat is not to swear, but to tell you that this heart beats for you.

Later he sent another message:

Love you, good night.
