<h4>Chapter 555: Chapter 554: The Chime of Midnight (4)</h4>


    The slender figure turned around slowly, revealing that breathtakingly beautiful face. Her long, ck hair cascaded down, and her white dress fluttered, as graceful and magnificent as ever.


    She lifted her gaze, offering Ling Chuxia a slight smile, her voice tender and pleasant, "Xiaxia."


    That smile, that voice, as if nothing had ever happened between them, those cold looks and harsh words, and even that p had all ceased to exist.


    Ling Chuxia’s eyes warmed, and her heart couldn’t help but sour; even her voice was tinged with a hint of a choke, "Sister."


    She had thought that from that day on, her elder sister would never forgive her, that she would never see her again. Yet, unexpectedly, her sister hade to find her and smiled at her with that same gentleness as before.


    She couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to grasp Ling Yunshu’s hand, but ultimately, she hesitated to reach out, her voice hoarse, "Sister, why did youe? Have you... have you forgiven me?"


    Thatst question, her voice was even lower.


    Ling Yunshu looked at Ling Chuxia, a sh of darkness crossing the depths of her eyes quickly, but she maintained a gentle expression on her face, and spoke lightly, "If I hadn’t forgiven you, I wouldn’t havee to find you today."


    "Sister..." Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but look up at Ling Yunshu, herrge eyes shimmering.


    "What happened that day, I shouldn’t have med you. After all, it was Shi Che himself who got drunk and mistook you for me, which led to what happened. It’s just that at that moment, I was really... blinded by anger. Xiaxia, speaking of forgiveness, can you forgive your sister?"


    Ling Yunshu’s words were earnest, each one striking Ling Chuxia’s heart. How could she have med her sister? In such a situation, no woman could have remained calm.


    She choked up, unable to utter a word, just shaking her head vigorously.


    Finally, Ling Yunshu seemed to rx, smiling gently, "I wanted toe find you before, but I didn’t know how to face you. Xiaxia, I’m sorry. Did it hurt when I hit you that day?"


    As she spoke, her hand couldn’t help but touch Ling Chuxia’s face, while Ling Chuxia continued shaking her head, tears sliding down uncontrobly.


    Ling Yunshu watched her, her own eyes slightly reddening, and slowly reached out her hand to pull Ling Chuxia into her embrace.


    -


    Ling Chuxia let Ling Yunshu sit on the sofa and turned to pour a ss of water for her in the kitchen, cing it in front of her. Then she sat down.


    Ling Yunshu picked up the ss of water and took a small sip before putting it down. Then she turned to look at Ling Chuxia, but her gaze lingered on her for a moment too long.


    Ling Chuxia felt puzzled and followed her sister’s line of sight, only then realizing that she had been wearing Shi Che’s clothes all along, having forgotten to return them.


    The color drained from Ling Chuxia’s face, and she immediately took off the jacket. Clutching it tightly in her hands, she opened her mouth, intending to exin something to Ling Yunshu, but after opening her mouth, she was at a loss for how to begin.


    However, Ling Yunshu slowly looked away, her lips curving slightly, her voice still as faint as ever, "I know you’ve been with Shi Che these past days."


    Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, herrge eyes blinking, her lips trembling slightly, "Sister, I... "


    "Xiaxia, don’t be nervous, I don’t me you." Ling Yunshu cut her off directly, her voice still gentle, "I didn’te today to interrogate you, but rather... "
