Ling Qing placed his phone in his pocket and walked out of the bedroom.

Ling Bai was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee. He looked elegant like a little prince right out of a painting.

When Ling Qing came downstairs, Ling Bai looked up.

Four eyes met, and after a while Ling Qing felt he had really met a little White Lotus. White and tender, pure and beautiful, he really evoked one’s protective desires.

Ling Qing motioned the steward away and sat on the sofa. He asked with a smile, “Xiao Bai, why are you here?”

Ling Bai frowned, looking a little wronged and pitiful, like a pretty flower. A little charming, Ling Qing thought in his heart.

“Can’t I come over?” Ling Bai whispered, “Brother, I know you feel jealous when me and Brother Chen are together, but I don’t mean anything. I didn’t know you would marry Brother Chen and I didn’t know that his feelings for me would make you jealous. I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

As he finished saying this, he looked up at Ling Qing. “I made such a huge commotion a few nights ago and Brother Chen came to comfort me, but you didn’t come. Do you really dislike me, brother?”

What a bitch! A roaring skyward bitch!

Were you a dog in your past life?!

What kind of bitch is this!?

Ling Qing looked at the person in front of him and was annoyed at this stupid Bai who didn’t deserve his pretty face. Well, it didn’t matter. He hadn’t seen this type of low-brow little White Lotus for a long time and he was still adjusting to life here.

“You really think I don’t like you?” Gazing at him affectionately, Ling Qing gave him a bitter smile. “Xiao Bai, you and I have lived together for so many years and you still don’t understand?”

Ling Bai: ???

“What don’t I understand?” He asked, puzzled.

“I knew it, you’ve never had me in your sights.” Ling Qing sighed.

Ling Bai was stunned. Of course he had never set his sights on Ling Qing. Why should he have his sights on Ling Qing??

He doesn’t like Ling Qing and Ling Qing doesn’t like him either. If there was any mutual hatred in the world, it would be between him and Ling Qing.

Of course he couldn’t say that, he didn’t come to fight with Ling Qing today.

Thus, he retorted, aggrieved, “How can I not have you in my eyes? Older brother, I came today to get you to stop blaming me. I want to talk to you.”

“How could I blame you?” Ling Qing looked at him with affection, “No matter what you do, I won’t blame you.”

‘Bullshit! You might as well tell me that my nose isn’t my nose and my eyes aren’t my eyes’, Ling Bai cursed inwardly.

“Really? Then you’re not upset with me?”

“Of course,” Ling Qing laughed, “How could I be upset with you?”

“Then let’s have dinner together. I’ll call Brother Chen. It’ll be my treat.”

Yo, can you wait a minute?

Ling Qing smiled inwardly and put on a gentle look. He reached out and grabbed Ling Bai’s hands, coxing him, “Can’t it just be the two of us?”

Ling Bai immediately felt wronged and stood up, “Older Brother, do you still care about me and Brother Chen? It’s over now, I didn’t mean it. As you know, Brother Chen really likes me.”

Really now? I didn’t know. I’ll ask your Brother Chen another day, see if even he knows.

“Xiao Bai, you don’t understand. I did mind what was going on before, but not because of Yu Chen. It was because of you!” He said warmly.

“Because of me?”

Ling Qing nodded and held Ling Bai’s hands as he looked in his eyes with sincerity. “Didn’t you realize? The one I liked was always you!”

Ling Bai: !!!

Ling Bai: ???

Ling Bai really didn’t notice. He wasn’t very close to Ling Qing and Ling Qing never had anything good to say to him.

Like this, Ling Qing dared to say he liked him?

“Brother, don’t joke around.”

Ling Qing laughed bitterly, “I knew you didn’t have me in your eyes so you never noticed. You never noticed all the things I’ve done for you over the years!”

So painful!

My heart!

Ling Qing repeated this to himself.

Ling Bai was frightened by his expression and reminded him, “I’m your little brother.”

In harmonious socialist society, love between brothers* can never come to fruition! *blood related brothers

Nonetheless, Ling Qing was putting on a marvelous performance, “We’re not blood brothers!”

Ling Qing eyed him. “For many years I’ve known this secret so I didn’t dare to love you. I suppressed myself so much. Xiao Bai, you might not believe it, but we’re not brothers! You’re not my parents’ son!”

“What are you talking about?” Ling Bai refused to believe him, “Even if you hate me, you shouldn’t make this kind of joke!”

Ling Qing expressed with sorrow, “How could I make a joke out of this. For so many years I’ve kept this secret. I didn’t want to tell you.”

“Then why do you have to say it now!”

“Because I love you,” Ling Qing said emotionally, “But you never loved me!”

As he said this, Ling Qing failed to control his strength and pinched Ling Bai’s hands.

Ling Bai frowned immediately. “Oww.”

Ling Qing quickly released his hands, rubbing them. “It’s my fault. I got too excited.”

Ling Bai couldn’t accept this brother of his, who had always been so cold to him, and pulled his hand back. “You’re being weird. I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I’m leaving.”

Knowing that he was panicking, Ling Qing continued his one-man play. “You’re leaving? See, I knew it. You have not even a speck of emotion for me.”

“You shut up!” Ling Bai didn’t want to listen to him. “Brother, we live in a peaceful socialist society. Peaceful. You’re not allowed to say these things. Do you understand?”

Ling Qing calmly returned, “Xiao Bai, do you know why I was so anxious to marry Yu Chen? It wasn’t that I liked him, but because if I married him I could leave. Now, whether by blood or by law, I have no relation to you. Therefore, I am free to like you.”

Ling Bai was shocked. “I don’t believe this.”

“Then go home and take a paternity test to see if I’m speaking the truth.”

Ling Qing reached out and touched his face. “Relax, even if your parents don’t want you, I want you. I can divorce to be with you at any time.”

Ling Bai unwittingly shivered. He glanced at Ling Qing and felt lost in unfamiliarity. Then, he stood up and quickly fled from the Yu home.

When Ling Qing saw that he had left, he collapsed on the sofa in laughter. This was truly a White Lotus who had never tempered the storms before. How could he be a match for him?

Either way, he wasn’t lying. Ling Bai truly wasn’t the child of the Ling family.

Well, whenever in the presence of scum there would be a disturbance. One of these was directed at the original owner, whose mother suspected that the original owner was not her blood-related son.

The reason for this was simple. Shortly after the original owner was born, Ling Mu* took him out to play but lost him when she wasn’t paying attention. Later, Ling Fu* brought him back. *Mu means mother and Fu means father

However, ever since that incident, Ling Mu had harbored suspicions that the child that had been brought back was not her own child.

Ling Fu had no knowledge of Ling Mu’s inner turmoil and Ling Mu herself didn’t want to confirm her suspicions. By the time Ling Bai was born, these doubts had turned into a complex.

Ling Mu was so sure that Ling Bai was her child, that she poured all her love unto him, neglecting Ling Qing. However, the one who wasn’t her son was Ling Bai. It was a nurse who accidentally swapped the babies.

This led to Ling Qing’s heartbreak in the first third of the book as he believed he wasn’t his mother’s son. After this third of the book, there was a plot twist and it was unveiled that Ling Bai was not part of the Ling family. At that time, Ling Bai almost commit suicide.

Ling Qing shook his head and poured himself a cup of coffee. The drama revolving around rich families was really theatrical.

It’s just, the little White Lotus had attempted suicide a few days ago, so he shouldn’t try to commit suicide again, right? The frequency of attempts would be too high so he probably wouldn’t.

Drinking his cup of coffee, Ling Qing noticed the steward standing in the distance, as if he was monitoring him.

“Want a cup of coffee?” he asked.

“No, thank you.” The steward replied respectfully.

“Then, you…”

The steward looked at him inconspicuously. “I came over to find something. I definitely didn’t hear you talking to your brother or hear you say how you didn’t love the Young Master, or how you want to divorce him and marry your younger brother who is your one true love.”

Ling Qing: …

This master and servant were really worthy of each other, always speaking so enigmatically.

The author has something to say:

Ling Qing: Surprise, surprise, are you not surprised?

Ling Qing: He’s not the only one who likes you. It’s too boring if he’s the only one, both of us like you together! Isn’t it exciting?~~ Aren’t you happy? You’re so charming~

Ling Bai: You shut up!

Ling Bai cried and quit the group chat.

[Madam’s Small Theater]

Steward: Young Master, the Madam has been chatting with your White Moonlight for the past 30 minutes.

Yu Chen: Is he making a fuss yet?

Steward: No, the Madam pouring his heart out to your White Moonlight, saying that he’s his one true love and that you’re just a stepping stone.

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen: !!!

Yu Chen’s mouth was filled with blood.
