Chapter 123: Chapter 86: Jiangg Ning’s Front Completely Collapses, Jiangg Yao’s Total Victory

The night was deep and silent.

In the silent room, Jiangg Ning swiped down her phone screen, swipe after swipe. She was pressing so hard her fingertips were turning a faint blue.

Overall, the affectionate tone of Yaoyao and Chen Yuan’s chat history was far beyond what Jiangg Ning had imagined. They were a couple in the throes of new love, after all. The clinginess, the childishly sweet nothings—it was enough to make anyone blush while reading.

Jiangg Ning bit her lip, scrolling on with disgust. For the moment, she didn’t understand why her sister was showing her this.

’Is she showing off?’

But then, she realized something wasn’t quite right.

Setting aside the fact that the explicit content was hard to look at…

The crucial part was when she scrolled to December 20th.

To her astonishment, the chat history didn’t start on that day. In fact, the frequency of their chats noticeably dropped off starting from the 20th. Scrolling back further, there were even *more* messages!

’What is this?’

In an instant, Jiangg Ning’s mind went blank.

She looked up, her expression utterly shocked, and met the eyes of Jiangg Yao, who was sitting at the vanity. Her sister was staring back at her just as intently.

She lowered her head again.

Jiangg Ning’s expression immediately turned serious. Her brows knitted together as she meticulously scrolled through the chat history.

Everything Chen Yuan and Jiangg Yao had talked about over the past few days now unfolded before her eyes.

The hidden secrets, the budding romance of a young girl’s heart… The unspoken crushes, the “I like you” spoken so simply and cautiously at the last moment, despite mustering every ounce of courage.

It was like a sharp sword.

It pierced straight through Jiangg Ning’s heart without mercy.

She felt suffocated, an agonizing pain clenching her heart.

…

“I’m coming to pick you up, little master. Wait for me.”

“Stuck in traffic, I might be a little late. I’m just so excited to see you, I can’t stand the wait…”

“I had so much fun today! Mwah~ I’m home.”

…

“This puppy looks like you.”

“Okay, fine, *I’m* the puppy… Look, the puppy’s wagging her tail. Come and pet me.”

“Sending a voice message of me barking is a little too embarrassing… Okay, just one bark, and I’m deleting it right after you listen.”

“Hmph.”

…

“Such a gentleman (thumbs up)”

“Getting caught in the rain together is so romantic! I’m normally scared of thunderstorms, but I feel so safe with you.”

“Hugging, kissing, and cuddling by the bus stop. Another memory to add to the list. Making a note of it.”

“Master, do you like my stockings? (blushing)”

…

“I was just scrolling through videos and saw tons of guys in the comments saying they like looking at feet!”

“Such perverts!”

“Huh? There are really guys who like having girls put their feet in their mouths??? Is that for real?”

“Speaking of which, you were staring at my feet last time I was at your place. Don’t tell me…”

“Want to have a taste?”

…

“Chen Yuan, I’m so looking forward to our future.”

“As long as you’re by my side, I feel so happy. All my worries just melt away.”

“You love me, right…?”

“Quick, say it! I want to hear it in a voice message!”

…

Jiangg Ning stared at the messages Jiangg Yao had sent and the replies from Chen Yuan, the man she had feelings for.

It was all so warm and happy. So sweet… it was hard to look at. So sweet, she almost didn’t have the courage to read on.

The furrow in Jiangg Ning’s lovely brow deepened, and her vision began to blur.

Until she scrolled all the way to the very first message: “You are now friends.” Then, in a daze, she looked up.

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

“You went to find Chen Yuan that day?”

“Yes, Sister. You thought I had moved on. But actually, after thinking it over, I decided to be the one to apologize… Chen Yuan was angry, but he forgave me. And so, we got back together.”

“So… *that’s* why you stopped shutting yourself in at home and started going out?”

“More or less. Chen Yuan was part of the reason. But I’m also grateful for how you took care of me, Sister. I’m sorry for hiding it from you… Sis.”

The atmosphere plummeted, growing so cold it felt like it could freeze solid.

Now that she knew the truth, Jiangg Ning’s mind was in turmoil. Her sister had been hiding this from her for so long!

All those nights Jiangg Yao had been tossing and turning…

It turned out to be guilt from all the lying.

When she went to Mingzhu City, she had no idea that Chen Yuan and Jiangg Yao were being all lovey-dovey, their relationship passionate and intense.

While she was at work, she was completely unaware that Chen Yuan and Jiangg Yao were holding hands, hugging, kissing, and dreaming of their beautiful future together.

And when she realized she liked Chen Yuan and was planning to confess… *that’s* why Jiangg Yao had tried so hard to stop her.

With the whole truth laid bare before her, Jiangg Ning understood everything.

“Does Chen Yuan know?” She put down the phone, her lips so pale they were drained of all color.

“He doesn’t know. Why do you think he’s been so nice to you? I didn’t want you to confess because I was afraid it would come to this,” Jiangg Yao said, glancing at her sister’s expression. She abruptly turned her head, steeled herself, and added coldly, “The only reason Chen Yuan didn’t reject your advances is because he loves *me*. Do you get it now?”

The moment the words left her mouth.

Jiangg Ning stumbled back several steps in shock, her eyes instantly filling with pained disbelief. No matter how rational she normally was, she couldn’t control herself now.

Jiangg Yao knew her sister all too well. The closer you are to someone, the better you know their weaknesses.

She knew that saying this would make Jiangg Ning’s defenses crumble completely.

And without a doubt, once her sister’s defenses were down, she would be incredibly vulnerable. With that, Jiangg Yao would win this fight effortlessly.
