Chapter 54: Leng Zhiqing Hidden Feelings
Both of them continued to watch the dark sky outside, lost in their own thoughts. However, Leng Zhiqing will occasionally glance at Aria with a suspicious gaze, as if she suspected that Aria was not being truthful with her.
It was clear to Leng Zhiqing that there was something that had happened between Aria and Chen Tian that she was unwilling to reveal. Leng Zhiqing pondered whether to confront Aria or simply let it go.
Regardless of her choice, she was certain that something had taken place, as evidenced by Aria's unusual behavior, particularly after Chen Tian had taken Emilia to his room the day before.
Yes, She was aware of it as she saw Chen Tian take Emilia's hand and lead her upstairs to his room. As she observed her sister's reaction that day, she could comprehend the depth of her feelings at that time since she herself had experienced a similar feeling.
That feeling was called jealousy.
She believed that Chen Tian belonged to her and only her, but now it seems that bitch Emilia has taken him away from her, which makes Leng Zhiqing feel angry. Leng Zhiqing is now faced with a difficult decision on how to handle the situation.
Leng Zhiqing, Chen Tian's sister, was well acquainted with Emilia, who had even visited their house occasionally.
Despite this, the two women never got along. Whenever they were in the same room, they clashed like fire and water.
There was even a time when Chen Tian inquired about their strained relationship, and Leng Zhiqing would often respond with a cold snort, simply stating that she did not like Emilia without giving a clear reason for her hatred.
However, the truth was that Leng Zhiqing didn't hate Emilia; she was just frustrated with her. She always noticed how Emilia looked at Chen Tian with eyes filled with adoration and love, and it made her uncomfortable.
Despite her own negative feelings towards Emilia, Leng Zhiqing acknowledged that Emilia's affection for Chen Tian was genuine. However, she couldn't bring herself to accept it.
Now that she has discovered another problem, Leng Zhiqing is uncertain about what to do. If her previous assumption was correct, she doesn't know how to react to it.
Leng Zhiqing glanced at Aria, and this time, Aria couldn't help but notice her gaze.
Seeing her sister's troubled expression, Aria asked, 'Is something wrong?'
Leng Zhiqing took a deep breath before shaking her head and responding, 'No, nothing. I was just thinking about... Tian.'
Aria's expression became complex and curious as she asked, "Tian? What made you think of him?' She spoke in a composed and calm tone, trying to conceal her emotions.
After a brief hesitation, Leng Zhiqing expressed her thoughts. "Yesterday, I saw him leading Emilia to his room while holding her hand."
Leng Zhinqing aimed to achieve her objective by closely observing Aria's reaction to this information. She hoped to detect any subtle changes in Aria's demeanor, tone, or expression that might reveal her true feelings.
She was curious, did her sister has any feeling for Chen Tian?
She hoped to gauge whether Aria had any feelings towards him or not.
Arias took a deep breath before responding, her expression remaining unchanged. "I see. Well, Tian is free to do as he pleases. It's not my place to judge his actions," she said.
Leng Zhiqing detected no hint of jealousy or hurt in Aria's tone, leading her to conclude that Aria did not have any romantic feelings towards Tian.
'Maybe I was wrong,' Leng Zhiqing thought to herself. She believed that her initial suspicion was unfounded, and Aria's response suggested that she did not have any romantic feelings for Chen Tian.
"Y-You're right," Leng Zhiqing responded, feeling relieved that her sister did not harbor any romantic feelings for Tian. She was unsure of how to react if Aria had feelings for Chen Tian.
Nevertheless, Leng Zhiqing acknowledged that she couldn't harbor the same hatred towards Aria as she does towards Emilia.
While she may have had doubts previously, now that she has confirmed that Aria does not harbor any romantic feelings towards Tian, she feels a sense of relief.
Although she felt angry when Chen Tian took Emilia to his room, she recognized that she did not have the right to interfere in their relationship.
Despite her jealousy, Leng Zhiqing tried to push aside her emotions and focus on her sister.
She tried to concentrate on Aria, but it was harder than she anticipated. Her mind kept wandering back to the image of Chen Tian and Emilia entering his room.
She couldn't shake off the feelings of anger and jealousy that consumed her. Despite her efforts, Leng Zhiqing found herself struggling to push aside her emotions.
She couldn't comprehend why...
Chen Tian had been avoiding Emilia for such a long time. He always had that lack of interest in Emilia.
She was puzzled as to why he had taken Emilia to his room and why they had not emerged for the night already.
'Could it be possible that they were too engrossed in playing games and lost track of time?' Emilia thought as her mind raced with various possibilities.
"Sis, let's go. You have school today, and you don't want you to be late," Aria said, interrupting Emilia's deep thoughts.
"Let me finish breakfast quickly before we leave. I also have some work at the company, which is why I will leave with you," Aria added.
Emilia nodded and followed her sister out of the room. She was still preoccupied with thoughts about Chen Tian.
As they left, Aria took a quick glance towards Chen Tian's room without Leng Zhiqing noticing. If Leng Zhiqing had seen her sister's expression, she would have been shocked, as it was filled with sadness and disappointment.
Aria did her best to conceal her emotions, but in reality, she was feeling heartbroken after seeing Chen Tian taking Emilia to his room. To make matters worse, they had not come out of the room yet.
