Do You Want to Move?

"Big Sister, this might just be a rumor spread by Bai Jun. Please don't be too agitated."

Without a doubt, Chi Qing was currently furious. Even if it didn't show on her face, it was clear from the dangerous aura radiating from her. As someone who had followed Chi Qing since childhood, Lu Weilai, though surprised by the twisted relationship between the two, had never forgotten how Chi Qing used to treat Bai Lin.

All kinds of punishment, years of cold neglect, and complete disregard—Lu Weilai had witnessed it all clearly. Although the relationship between Bai Lin and Chi Qing was much better now, it did not mean Chi Qing would unconditionally accept another betrayal.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Weilai's first thought was also that Bai Lin had been unfaithful to Chi Qing. But as for Bai Lin's feelings, she would rather die than not protect Chi Qing completely. Lu Weilai realized she had overthought; anyone in the world might hurt Chi Qing, but she believed Bai Lin absolutely never would.

"Do you have anything to explain?"

Perhaps thanks to Lu Weilai's persuasion, Chi Qing finally stopped staring at Bai Lin. She instinctively reached into her pocket for a pack of cigarettes, only to grasp empty air. Only then did she remember that because she didn't want Bai Lin to inhale secondhand smoke, she had quit smoking long ago. Realizing this now, she found habits to be truly terrifying things.

"I have nothing to say."

Watching Chi Qing's small movement, a flash of joy appeared in Bai Lin's eyes. She spoke up. Although her attitude and tone might anger the other, every word she said was the truth. She didn't know Bai Jun was holding a birthday party, let alone a so-called engagement ceremony.

In reality, her relationship with Bai Jun was, at most, a few meetings and conversations—barely more than strangers. Years ago, after leaving Chi Qing to go to Bai Jun's place, her impression of him changed drastically upon their first meeting. In her imagination, Bai Jun's appearance should have been wretched—a man who acted with cruel and ruthless methods. However, the Bai Jun before her was a refined and gentle man, completely unlike a man in his sixties.

Over the past five years, the number of times they met could be counted on one hand. Normally, if he needed her to do something, he would send a messenger, and she would carry it out. Now, having returned to Chi Qing's side, even though she had been gone for over a year, Bai Jun remained completely quiet. If he had forgotten her existence, why would he suddenly host such a grand banquet and even arrange her engagement to Bai Xi?

"What? By saying that, do you mean it's fake news? Bai Lin, let me tell you, speaking up is better than staying silent. Can't you see that Little Qingqing is furious?"

Bai Lin answered, but Chi Qing didn't reply. It was actually Su Aoning who took a step forward to ask. Hearing this, Bai Lin looked at Chi Qing sitting beside her. Her complexion was clearly not good. After a moment, she spoke again. "I didn't know about this, and I am not a traitor."

Bai Lin still spoke very little, using concise sentences to state her position. However, such ambiguity without proof made it hard for Su Aoning to believe her. She toyed with the ring on her finger, looking at Bai Lin with growing suspicion.

"Su Aoning, retract your hostility. I believe her."

Chi Qing suddenly spoke just as Su Aoning was about to stand up, interrupting her movement to draw her gun. Hearing this, Su Aoning still didn't stop. She stood up, looking down at Bai Lin and Chi Qing from above.

Under the light, the two women's faces were exceptionally clear. Their similar features didn't make them look like mother and daughter, but rather like sisters. Meeting Chi Qing's warning gaze, Su Aoning shrugged helplessly and sat back down.

"You two are family. I can't win against you, and I'm too lazy to fight. Chi Qing, I don't know what method she used on you, but I hope you remember that nothing in this world is permanent. There are no eternal friends, let alone eternal lovers or family. I can understand why you trust Bai Lin, but so-called trust shouldn't be blind listening and blind seeing. I advise you to take good care of yourself. As for the specific details of the mission, I'll find a time to discuss them with you. Su Su, let's go."

With that, Su Aoning wanted to take Su Su, who had just finished brewing coffee, and leave. Seeing her bring out the tray, Su Aoning's previously dark face instantly bloomed like a flower. Not caring whether the coffee was hot or cold, she gulped it down in one breath, deliberately waving the empty cup in front of Chi Qing before finally leaving. Looking at Su Aoning's childish behavior, then at the remaining coffee that hadn't been brought out yet, Su Su sighed helplessly.

"Weilai, stay here tonight. Bai Lin, follow me upstairs."

After seeing Su Aoning off, Chi Qing didn't stay downstairs either. She stood up and walked upstairs. Seeing her walk away, Bai Lin nodded to Lu Weilai and followed her up. During the climb, she noticed Chi Qing was walking very fast, so fast that she could barely keep up.

With great difficulty, they reached the room. Before Bai Lin could catch her breath, she was pinned against the door by Chi Qing. Her back collided with the hard door, making a dull thud. Her bones ached from the impact. Bai Lin couldn't rub it or move; she could only let Chi Qing pin her there.

"Now that it's just you and me, tell me the truth."

Chi Qing's voice was even colder than before. The room was pitch black without the lights on, and only the moonlight allowed her to see the other's expression. Bai Lin saw that in Chi Qing's eyes, besides anger, there was also anxiety.

"Qing, I don't understand what you mean."

Although her heart ached seeing Chi Qing like this, Bai Lin truly didn't know what she had to explain.

"Bai Lin, even now you refuse to speak? Tell me, whose side are you actually on? What exactly is your relationship with that Bai Xi?!"

When she spoke again, Chi Qing's voice was much louder. Being questioned like this, Bai Lin felt a sense of loss and sorrow from the lack of trust. She understood that a lack of trust was simply because the love wasn't deep enough.

"Everything I said is the truth, because I have nothing to explain, nor do I need to explain."

*Qing, do you know? My explanation doesn't matter; what matters is whether you truly believe me in your heart.*

"Fine, go take a bath."

The conversation ended abruptly. Seeing Chi Qing open the bathroom door, she pushed her inside. Though puzzled, Bai Lin complied. She turned on the shower and took a proper bath. It wasn't until she finished that she realized Chi Qing had told her to bathe but hadn't prepared any clothes for her to change into.

Left with no choice, Bai Lin had to open the door, wanting to ask Chi Qing for help. However, as soon as she opened it, she found the other sitting on the sofa, staring at her while drinking a glass of wine. Chi Qing currently exuded an inviolable aura. Bai Lin understood that tonight's conversation had made her truly uncomfortable, and she had angered her again.

"Qing... I..."

"Just walk out."

Bai Lin hesitated for a long time, wanting to ask Chi Qing to fetch her clothes. However, before she could finish, Chi Qing cut her off. For a lover, such a request wasn't too much, but for the reserved Bai Lin, this was something she had never done. Looking at Chi Qing's eyes, which were slightly dazed from the wine, Bai Lin had no choice. She covered her chest and private parts with her hands and slowly stepped out.

Because of the hot bath, the entire bathroom was filled with steam. As Bai Lin pushed open the door, the steam swirled around her body, creating an almost dreamlike feeling. Her long black hair was soaking wet and dripping, and her usual cold and clear aura was dyed with a flush of red, revealing a hint of timidity due to her embarrassment.

Her slender neck, bearing water droplets and her own hickeys, was extremely alluring. Her collarbones were sharply defined, beautifully sculpted with a captivating curve. Lowering her gaze, there was her chest, which she was blocking with her hands, and her long, straight, beautiful thighs.

Thinking of how she had pinned this very body beneath her last night, entering again and again, making her bloom, Chi Qing licked her dry lips, drained the rest of her wine, and dropped the glass onto the carpet.

"Come here."

Leaning against the sofa, Chi Qing commanded Bai Lin. Hearing this, the latter hesitated slightly but did not refuse, obediently walking over. This situation made Bai Lin involuntarily recall the night she was completely taken by Chi Qing. Back then, the other also had a cold face, and she herself had been completely naked.

Her relationship with Chi Qing had never been equal.

"Qing..."

"Sit on it yourself."

"What?"

Hearing this, Bai Lin's calm tone finally showed a ripple. She looked at Chi Qing in shock as the latter raised her middle and index fingers, never expecting Chi Qing to say such a thing. However, Chi Qing's resolute determination was completely visible to Bai Lin.

Chi Qing wasn't joking; she truly wanted her to do this. Bai Lin didn't know what Chi Qing was thinking, or how she had suddenly become like this. She glanced at the half-empty wine bottle, then at the posture that suggested Chi Qing wouldn't retract her hand if she didn't comply. Bai Lin clenched her fists, then immediately let go. Right after, she dropped her hands, knelt directly on the sofa, took Chi Qing's hand, aimed it at her body, and slowly lowered her hips.

As soon as their bodies connected, it was so tight that even one finger was a struggle, let alone two fingers without any foreplay. The friction of entry made her sweat from the pain, but Bai Lin still refused to stop, completely swallowing Chi Qing's two fingers inside. Seeing Chi Qing stunned, Bai Lin took a deep breath, leaned closer, and used her tongue to lick the other's earlobe.

"Qing... do you want to move?"
