Chapter 426 - 425: Wait for Me (1)
"Sister, I’m going to leave now." Ling Chuxia spoke, then turned to leave; however, Ling Yunshu’s voice paused, then rose again, "Xiaxia, he and I are getting engaged."
Ling Chuxia rooted in place, her dark eyes suddenly contracted as she instinctively looked at Ling Yunshu.
He, whom Ling Yunshu did not specify, was unmistakably Shi Che.
Ling Chuxia’s throat felt as if it had been clutched by a large hand, squeezing so tightly that she struggled to breathe. Her lips trembled and she opened her mouth several times before she could speak, "You ... you’re getting engaged?"
"Mm." Ling Yunshu nodded slowly, her eyes and eyebrows tinged with a shade of happiness.
Ling Chuxia stood frozen on the spot, her heart plummeting into the abyss. She had thought that the scene she had witnessed just now was painful enough, but now ... this was truly heart-wrenching.
Her hands, hanging at her sides, slowly grasped the corners of her own clothes, tightening her grip bit by bit, enabling her to mask her current emotions.
She forced a smile and looked at Ling Yunshu, pushing herself to speak word by word, "Then ... con ... congratulations to you both."
"Thank you." Ling Yunshu smiled sweetly, her expression filled with happiness.
Still, Ling Chuxia could not stop a trace of moisture from emerging in her eyes. She didn’t dare let Ling Yunshu see and suddenly lowered her gaze.
But soon, Ling Yunshu as if reminded of something, her smile slightly faded, and she looked at Ling Chuxia with a somewhat solemn expression, hesitating a bit before saying, "Xiaxia, what ... what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing Ling Yunshu’s hesitant question, Ling Chuxia felt an ominous premonition unexpectedly surfacing in her heart. Suppressing the anxiety within, she lifted her eyes to look at Ling Yunshu and truthfully replied, "I don’t know yet."
