Chapter 121: Big Sister and Little Brother!

"Waahhhh! Yuan, i am so happy... wahaha."

Hugging Zhang Yuan in her arms, Zhang Fumin rolled on the bed and Zhang Yuan played along with her chuckling.

"Big Sister..."

"Seems like you are so happy..."

"I am..."

Zhang Fumin moved, pushing him onto the mattress, and got on top of him, sitting on his torso.

Zhang Fumin's heart raced as she gazed down at Zhang Yuan, her body still pressed close to his, sitting on top of him.

She could feel the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath her, and the softness of his golden eyes, the warmth of his touch—everything made her heart flutter.

"Yuan..." she whispered again, her voice laced with affection.

Her fingers playfully ruffled his hair, and for a moment, she was simply lost in the sensation of touching him.

She had always seen him as her cute, dependable little brother, but at this moment, the depth of her emotions surged to the surface.

The way he had grown more emotional, and how he now carried a power she had never imagined—yet to her, he was still her sweet little brother, the one who had always been by her side.

"No matter, who you are... what kind of omnibeing you are... you are still my cute little brother, okay? remember that..." she said, trying to keep her tone playful, but the softness in her voice betrayed her true emotions.

Zhang Yuan smiled, oblivious to the storm of emotions brewing in her heart, and placed his hands gently on her waist. "Of course, Big Sister..." he said warmly.

With a chuckle, she leaned forward, placing a sweet kiss on his forehead.

H-Huh? Zhang Yuan was taken aback by her sudden kiss and gazed into her eyes which are overwhelming with affection for him.

An incredible feeling of happiness rushed through his heart, the warmth of her lips still lingering on his forehead.

She gently pulled back the kiss, her face hovering an inch above his face, glancing into his golden eyes as she muttered in a soft tone "I... love you, Yuan."

Zhang Yuan who was new to this whole emotion was flustered by her sudden confession and was dumbfounded.

Zhang Fumin's heart raced as she finally confessed her feelings to him and was nervous as her eyes wandered around and she couldn't look into his eyes in embarrassment.

'I said it, I said it, I said it... uhhh, Yuan, what will he think? I just said that in the heat of the moment because I was so happy.'

However, Zhang Yuan just chuckled and hugged her, pulling her close to him "I also love you, Big Sister..."

E-Eh? Big Sister?

She was startled, but seeing him chuckle, her gaze trembled as she finally realized 'So... he doesn't look at me in that... way?'

A pang of pain seeped through her heart and she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her chest tightened with the weight of her unrequited feelings.

She had been so happy, thinking that maybe, just maybe, he felt the same way. But now, she knew that wasn't the case.

She hastily buried her face on his shoulder so as not to show him her crying face.

Smiling, Zhang Yuan hugged her back.

He seemed unaware of the full weight of her feelings. For him, it was a sweet, sibling gesture, but for her, it felt like so much more.

Zhang Fumin's voice was muffled against his shoulder, her tears soaking into his shirt. "You... bastard..." she whispered through her tears.

Zhang Yuan blinked, confused by the sudden change in her demeanor. He chuckled awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood, though his heart felt heavy seeing her like this.

"Are you still mad that I didn't tell you about my powers from the start?" he asked, trying to make sense of what was happening.

She nodded against his shoulder, not lifting her head. "Y-Yeah... you blockhead," she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.

Zhang Yuan smiled, but it was tinged with guilt. He gently stroked her back, trying to comfort her, though he didn't fully understand the depth of her pain. "I'm sorry... I really am."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Fumin sighed and decided to sleep as she moved her body to a comfortable position.

"Good night, Little brother..."

"En... good night."

...

In the morning, Zhang Ming was sitting in the garden with a cup of tea in her hand as she glanced at the golden sun high in the sky.

Xiangli Fei is also beside her, drinking her tea in a subtle silence.

With a light cough, Xiangli Fei muttered "I am sorry... uh- Aunt Ming for what my mother did to you."

Zhang Ming gave a slight nod and uttered "Don't worry about that anymore. Now that I am alive... it is more than enough for me."

"My lovely daughter is with me and wonderful people are around her. So I am happy..."

"i am sure, my daughter suffered these years without me. So I have decided to stay the rest of my life with her and watch her grow.,"

Hearing this, Xiangli Fei's eyes softened and she smiled "I see..."

Zhang Ming let out a sigh, "I know you also suffered from Zhi. She never allowed you to mingle with the children of other Queen in the Empire right?"

Xiangli Fei took a sip of her tea and nodded her head "Yeah... that's why I ran away from home. I just don't want to live there..."

"And Brother Yuan is kind enough to accept me."

Zhang Ming couldn't help but chuckle "Little girl, you decided to run away with a man considering him as your brother?"

A quick blush painted Xiangli Fei's cheeks hearing this "P-Please don't tease me."

"What about you? Don't you want to go back to my father...?"

Zhang Ming shook her head "No, it's not like I truly loved him in the first place. I know he is a good man, but it was a political marriage."

"As I said, for now... I just want to be with my daughter to compensate for the years I was not with her."

At this time, Ning Xia walked out of the house with a teacup in her hand and Zhang Ming asked "Where are Min'er and Little Brother?"

"They have went to say their good byes to Aunty Shen."
