Chapter 11 - An Ugly Duckling

  "Sis, she's been drinking. I'll carry her back to her room first. Could you bring me a basin of warm water?" I said to Chen Siting, who looked worried, as I held Qin Xinmei in my arms.

  As I spoke, I carried her upstairs. Her slender, delicate body in my arms was very light, probably weighing only a little over 100 pounds.

  But when I got to her room, I couldn't open the door. Then I remembered that I had left Qin Xinmei's little white LV bag in the car. Her room key was inside, and I forgot to bring it up.

  I had no choice but to stand at the door with Qin Xinmei in my arms. When Chen Siting brought up a basin of warm water, I said, "Sister, I can't open the door. Do you have a key?"

  "Yes, wait a moment." Chen Siting said as she ran back to her room, grabbed the key, opened the door, and turned on the light in one smooth motion.

  I gently placed the drunken and sleeping Qin Xinmei on the bed, and used my hand to tidy up a few stray strands of hair on her fair forehead. Then I sat on the bed, supporting her weak and powerless body, and removed her black hair clip. Her long black hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down her shoulders and back, smooth and silky, with a faint fragrance.

  Chen Siting stood aside watching me busy myself, wanting to help but unable to. Her eyes darted around, her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't.

  Then I took off Qin Xinmei's high heels, revealing her small, fair feet. I looked at the perfect queen on the bed, her small mouth breathing softly and her face flushed, but I felt no desire whatsoever.

  "Sis, I'll wipe her face. Later, you can help her take off her dress and change into pajamas so she'll be more comfortable sleeping." I said to Chen Siting. After wiping Qin Xinmei's face, I left the room, closed the door behind me, and leaned against the wall by the door.

  I stood there for about ten minutes, and heard complete silence in the room. Then I went back to my room, lay on the bed, and thought about everything that had happened that day, including having sex with Nalan Xi who had taken aphrodisiacs. When I left, her eyes seemed to want to devour me. Fortunately, I never had any contact with her again.

  Then I suddenly remembered something. Today, Qin Xinmei said that she had called my sister, Inina, who is not related to me by blood... I wonder what they talked about.

  I quickly grabbed my phone to call my sister Inina Ellie, who was thousands of miles away, to ask her how she was doing. When I checked my phone, I was shocked to find that there were over 30 unanswered calls, all from Inina Ellie, my adoptive father, and my adoptive mother.

  "What happened?" I wondered, and quickly dialed my sister Inina Allie's number.

  Immediately, I heard Inina Allie's anxious and angry voice on the other end of the phone: "Kyle, what's wrong with you today? Why didn't you answer your sister's calls? Why is your phone in a strange woman's hands? Did you get a girlfriend? You think you've grown wings after going to China? Fine, you don't need to explain. Book your flight back to the US tomorrow, no, book your flight to France. I'm in France right now."

  "Sister, no, I'm fine. I have some things to take care of in China, so I won't be going back to the US or France for now. I'll go back after I've taken care of things." I was speechless at Inina Ellie's string of words and didn't explain anything.

  "Kyle, what could possibly happen to you in China? You're not listening to your sister anymore, are you? I'm worried about you, and Father and Mother are worried about you too. Can you understand how we feel?" Inina Allie's anxious voice came through the phone, afraid that something had happened to me.

  I sighed. Knowing Inina Allie's personality, she wouldn't give up until I gave her an answer. So I had to coax and lie, telling her I'd call her every day to let her know I was safe and I'd go back after a while.

  After comforting Inina Allie, I called my adoptive parents to let them know I was safe.

  I hung up the phone and remembered what Qin Xinmei had said about Inina Ellie's photos. I opened the photo album, only to find it empty. The photos of stockings that Inina Ellie had sent me, as well as the photos of me with her, were all deleted. Only a few photos of my adoptive parents and me together remained.

  "Qin Xinmei is unbelievable. She deleted every single photo of her and Inina Ellie." I was a little confused. I got out of bed, opened the door, and went downstairs to take a shower.

  After I finished showering, I didn't see the nanny, Li Weixin, that beautiful mature woman. Her room was on the third floor, so I guessed she was asleep.

  After returning to my room, I put on my headphones and listened to music for a while. I checked the time and it was already past nine o'clock at night. I was feeling a little sleepy and was just about to go to bed when someone knocked on my door a few times.

  "Little brother, it's me. Can I come in for a moment?" Chen Siting said softly from outside the door.

  "Sis, the door's unlocked, come in." I sat on the bed and replied softly, wondering what she wanted to do here so late.

  Chen Siting opened the door and came in, wearing a pink three-quarter length nightgown and a pair of cartoon slippers. Her ten little toes were delicate and dainty. She looked around but found there were no chairs.

  "Sit here." I patted the edge of the bed.

  As I spoke, I shifted my body, creating space on the bed.

  Chen Siting looked at my face, didn't close the door, hesitated for a moment, kicked off the cartoon shoes on her little feet, and sat down next to me with her well-developed little bottom and her two long, beautiful legs crossed.

  After she sat down, her delicate face flushed slightly. She didn't speak, her eyes flickered, and she looked shy.

  Hey, girl, why are you shy about your bubble teapot?

  A while ago, Ainz Ooal Gown was a very popular anime. I watched it several times in a row. I especially liked the virgin succubus, even though she was a bit of a yandere.

  "How is your mother now? Has she stopped vomiting?" I turned my head, looked at her delicate profile, and asked.

  "Mom didn't vomit. I gave her some warm water to drink. Speaking of which, she rarely drinks alcohol, except for a little when attending a celebration for an important occasion, but she rarely gets drunk." Chen Siting intertwined the index fingers of her two delicate hands, glanced at me, and then looked away shyly.

  "By the way, where's your father? I haven't seen him." I've been here for two days and haven't met her husband yet, so I asked with some confusion.

  "My father and mother divorced five years ago for some reasons and have been living separately ever since. But three years ago, my father was in a car accident and passed away." Chen Siting lowered her head and spoke of her father with some sadness.

  "I'm sorry." I couldn't help but pat Chen Siting's head. I said I was going to recognize her as my older sister, but on the other hand, I felt that I was more like her older brother.

  "Little brat, you don't need to comfort your sister." Chen Siting suddenly slapped my hand away, her low mood vanished, and she opened her small mouth with a fierce look in her eyes. You could see her snow-white teeth and two small tiger teeth in her mouth.

  "Sis, you're eighteen years old and you still have little tiger teeth." I joked to cheer her up.

  "None of your business." Chen Siting blushed slightly, quickly closed her mouth, and rested her delicate chin on her hands, whispering, "Mom manages the company every day and rarely has time to rest. She comes back from the company very late every day."

  "However, before you came to our house a few days ago, I heard from my mother that the vice president of her company recently returned from a two-month study abroad program, so he will probably have some time to rest."

  Chen Siting kept complaining about her mother.

  "Vice President? Male or female?" I frowned when I heard that there was a vice president.

  "Mom didn't say whether it was a boy or a girl. Anyway, she never talks to me about things at the company and always shoulders everything alone." Chen Siting sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

  I didn't say anything. Indeed, Qin Xinmei is a strong woman who manages three companies under the Xinzi Group with great success. This is something that not an ordinary woman can do. So it is no exaggeration to say that she is the queen of Anhai City.

  "Little brother, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight." Chen Siting suddenly patted my shoulder with her little hand, then got off the bed with her beautiful legs, her fair little feet in slippers walking out of the room.

  "I don't want to move anymore. Could you close the door for me?" I hurriedly reminded him.

  "Call me 'sister' again and I'll shut it off." Chen Siting turned around, stood at the door, raised her eyebrows, and smiled playfully.

  "Haven't I called you several times already? You seem to have gotten addicted to it." I looked at the girl's delicate face and couldn't help but laugh.

  "I can't get enough of it!" Chen Siting seemed very happy, her small, delicate feet in cartoon slippers casually kicking the corner of the door.

  "Haha, there's a cockroach under your feet." I chuckled softly, then suddenly pointed at the girl's feet in horror.

  With a bang, Chen Siting's expression changed drastically. She suddenly jumped up with both feet, slamming the door shut in a chain reaction. Then, she snorted menacingly through the door, "You brat, you lied to me."

  "Sister, go to sleep, goodnight," I said to the girl at the door.

  After a long while, there was no sound from Chen Siting outside the door; she probably went back to her room to sleep.

  I'm a little worried about Qin Xinmei. I wonder how she is. I've heard that it's very uncomfortable when you're drunk.

  Thinking I should open the door to check on Qin Xinmei, I saw a young girl carrying a blanket entering Qin Xinmei's room.

  Standing at the doorway, I was momentarily stunned. This girl seemed quite lonely.

  The next day at eight o'clock, I was woken up by my alarm clock, changed into my work suit, and went downstairs to wash up, only to find Qin Xinmei already sitting on the sofa, reading a news and financial book.

  She wasn't wearing formal work attire, but rather a white tracksuit.

  Qin Xinmei was the only one in the large hall. Chen Siting was probably still sleeping in, and Li Weixin had gone to the market to buy groceries.

  "Go wash up, then come go for a run with me," Qin Xinmei said softly, looking up at me.

  Today, she wore her long hair in a single ponytail, dressed in simple sportswear and running shoes, without any accessories, and exuded a serene and tranquil aura.

  In his mind, he couldn't help but compare them. Qin Xinmei's formal attire and evening gowns with various high heels gave her a queen-like aura, while now she just had the air of an older sister.

  I was wondering if I wasn't going to the office today, and I couldn't help but ask, "Going for a run? It's past eight o'clock now, won't I be late for the office if I go for a run?"

  "The company's vice president has returned from his studies abroad, so you and I will take a few days off," Qin Xinmei explained after putting down the financial news she was reading and thinking for a moment.

  "Is that vice president male or female?" I sat down next to Qin Xinmei without brushing my teeth or washing my face, determined to find out the answer.

  I remembered that Chen Siting said last night that her mother's company vice president had returned from studying abroad, and I was very curious.

  "Are you concerned about company matters or whether the vice president is male or female?" Qin Xinmei's delicately made-up face was quite beautiful, and her clear eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

  "Hey, I just wanted to ask." I pretended to be reserved, leaning back on the sofa with an expression that said, "Take it or leave it."

  "I know what you're thinking just by sticking your butt up. Do you really want to know the answer?" Qin Xinmei turned her head away, her long, slender legs wrapped in sweatpants and casually crossed.

  At this moment, Qin Xinmei had a serious expression on her face, her clear eyes staring into mine, as if she could see through my thoughts.

  "Yes, Your Majesty, I'm coming clean. I'm not pretending anymore. I want to know the answer." I decided to be honest because I knew it would be unwise to act like a celestial being in front of Qin Xinmei.

  Your Lady Queen?

  Qin Xinmei was taken aback and looked at me curiously, secretly chuckling to herself. This little guy called her Sister Qin one minute, Fairy Qin the next, and Qin Xinmei the last.

  Well, now I have to call her "Your Majesty," which is another strange title. Anyway, Qin Xinmei knows that I've used a lot of weird titles, so it's not surprising.

  However, this feeling doesn't seem unpleasant.

  "Then call me 'Mom' and I'll tell you." Qin Xinmei suddenly smiled slyly, her beauty captivating.

  I looked at her delicate face, and her smile made me pause for a moment. If only she could smile more every day.

  In my memory, Qin Xinmei rarely smiled, but she seems to be in a good mood today.

  "You're trying to take advantage of me again." I pretended to be annoyed. Chen Siting did the same thing last night, telling her to close the door and even "coercing" me to call her "sister."

  How much does Qin Xinmei want me to call her "Mom"?

  That time they forced me to call Chen Siting "sister," it was like they were addicted. Afterwards, I stood up from the sofa and went to the bathroom.

  Qin Xinmei watched my retreating figure, her delicate face showing a hint of sadness before regaining its composure and sitting motionless on the sofa.

  After I came out of the bathroom, Qin Xinmei didn't say anything. I could tell she was a little down, even though we were laughing and talking just a moment ago.

  I sighed, walked over and sat down next to her, and asked, "Why are you so persistent?"

  Does Qin Xinmei really want to acknowledge me as her son?

  Qin Xinmei didn't answer my question. She glanced at me from the sofa and then said in a cold tone, "Change into your workout clothes and come running with me."

  I was a little angry. She had that cold tone and that icy face again. She would never explain the topics I brought up.

  This aloof woman infuriated me. Looking at her cold face, I suddenly cupped Qin Xinmei's head in my hands and kissed her red lips.

  Caught off guard by my sudden action, Qin Xinmei froze, feeling her teeth being pried open and a tongue slipping into her mouth, followed by a strong masculine scent.

  But this aura doesn't feel repulsive.

  At this moment, her heart was pounding, and her body felt weak.

  "Mmm, uh." Qin Xinmei woke up and made a soft moaning sound. My tongue was frantically plundering her mouth. She wanted to bite my tongue with her teeth, but she was afraid of hurting me. She wanted to push this little guy away, but she couldn't muster any strength in her body.

  Qin Xinmei felt the tongue in her mouth becoming more and more unrestrained, constantly teasing her little pink tongue. Her jade hands were powerless to push away the tall little guy in front of her, but it was all in vain.

  At this moment, she was filled with anger and resentment. How could a son do such a thing to his mother?

  That brat is completely out of control.

  Then Qin Xinmei's face showed some grievance as she looked at the face and eyes that were only 5 centimeters away. The tongue was relentlessly demanding the saliva and fragrance from her mouth. How dare this little guy treat her like this?

  "Mmm, umm..." Qin Xinmei was angry and gently bit the tongue in her mouth with her teeth.

  She had no choice but to do this because the nanny, Li Weixin, would be back from grocery shopping soon. Her daughter had slept in her room last night, and if she suddenly woke up and saw this shocking scene, how could she explain it?

  I sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled my tongue out of Qin Xinmei's mouth. It hurt a little, but it wasn't a big deal.

  Qin Xinmei remained silent, her usually cold face contorted with rage. Her chest heaved, and she felt a cool drop of saliva on the corner of her mouth, unsure whether it was her own or her son's.

  She didn't wipe it off, her delicate body remained motionless, her gaze coldly fixed on me.

  This invisible sense of oppression left me somewhat at a loss.

  "Qin Xinmei, I love you." I gritted my teeth and couldn't help but express my love, gently wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth with my thumb.

  Ignoring whether she responded or not, I turned around and went upstairs to change into my workout clothes.

  Upon hearing my words, Qin Xinmei's delicate body trembled violently, and she froze, overwhelmed by an indescribable emotion. Her perfectly beautiful face was now etched with a complex expression.

  After a long while, she sighed.

  "How can you love this little guy so much?" Qin Xinmei's eyes regained their clarity as she leaned back on the sofa, waiting for me to come downstairs after changing my clothes.

  I changed into a gray tracksuit with blue trim and went out with Qin Xinmei.

  Qin Xinmei ran towards a small path leading to the seaside trail that stretched towards the villa area. I followed closely behind her and then jogged to her side, where I saw a calm face.

  "Are you angry?" I asked as I ran, glancing sideways at Qin Xinmei's delicate and fair face. Her slender figure was very graceful as she ran, her ponytail swaying back and forth, making her look pretty and beautiful.

  Qin Xinmei didn't say anything and continued jogging. When she saw me following beside her, her two long, beautiful legs quickened their pace slightly.

  "Your Majesty, are you really angry? Can't you just give me a little humming so I have the courage to continue speaking?" I shamelessly went to Qin Xinmei's side again and kept bothering her with my chatter.

  反正我第三次吻了她,这一次,她没有要揍我的意思,同时又向她表达了心中的爱意,我有了底气.

  Qin Xinmei glanced at me, then quickened her pace. I followed her, and she quickened her pace again, soon reaching the shady running track by the sea.

  At this moment, two figures could be seen running along the beach, one fleeing and the other chasing.

  "Oh no, my beloved Queen is angry, what should I do?" Seeing that Qin Xinmei was really angry, I quickly picked a wildflower that was blooming on the lawn.

  Qin Xinmei noticed everything behind her out of the corner of her eye. Her perfect face froze for a moment, and her two slender legs gradually slowed down.

  I ran to Qin Xinmei with the little flower in my hand, smiling, and said, "May I help Your Majesty put it on?"

  "Chen Qing, stop buzzing around, aren't you tired? Also, this little flower is so ugly, if you want to wear it, wear it yourself, don't bother me." Qin Xinmei was slightly out of breath. The chase and escape had quickened her pace, and she was a little out of breath for a moment.

  She had no choice but to stop at the railing by the sea to rest for a while, enjoying the sea breeze and the warm sunshine on her face, with tiny beads of sweat appearing on her fair skin.

  "Take a break." I stopped next to Qin Xinmei and saw the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. I took out a small pack of tissues from my pocket.

  "Where did you get these tissues?" Qin Xinmei asked curiously when she saw the tissues in my hand.

  She reached out to take the tissue, but I grabbed her slender hand.

  Her small hands are slightly cool, soft and boneless, and you can hold them lightly without fear of the beauty.

  "Guess?" I blinked. The Queen finally spoke, indicating that her anger had subsided.

  "Don't be so childish." Qin Xinmei let me hold her small hand, shook it slightly, and then didn't struggle anymore.

  Her clear eyes gazed at the seaside, where several seagulls skimmed across the surface and distant boats appeared as tiny as stars.

  The sun shines warmly, the summer breeze is cool, facing the sea, hands clasped, with someone by my side, the future is just right.

  I stared at Qin Xinmei's fair face, somewhat lost in thought, before releasing her slender hand and gently wiping the sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

  Then Qin Xinmei and I stood side by side, enjoying the sea breeze, gazing at the sea in the distance where it met the sky in a parallel line.

  At that moment, I felt very warm, and then I glanced at the slender, soft white hand beside me.

  I gently touched Qin Xinmei's small hand, then held it in my own, but felt something was missing, so I insisted on interlocking our fingers.

  "Where's that ugly little flower you picked?" Qin Xinmei asked gently, not exposing my little tricks and thoughts, her eyes fixed on the seagulls above the sea.

  "You said it was ugly, so I threw it away." I held Qin Xinmei's delicate fingers tightly and smiled, pretending to be indifferent.

  Lost?

  Qin Xinmei took a deep breath, her face instantly turning cold as if turning the pages of a book, and she remained silent.

  In her memory, many men sent her beautiful flowers, but she was always turned away at the door; none of them ever succeeded.

  "Actually, it's still here, how could I bear to throw it away?" I took the clown flower out of the bag and carefully placed it in Qin Xinmei's hair.

  Qin Xinmei continued to gaze at the distant sea, a slight smile appearing on her cold face, as radiant as the stars and moon.

  "Although this clown flower was never destined to compete with the rose, when worn by a fairy, it gains the right to dance with all the flowers," I said earnestly, looking at Qin Xinmei.

  "Where did you learn that from?" Qin Xinmei asked, frowning.

  "I didn't know how before, I learned it recently," I said truthfully.

  "Go say that to your girlfriend." Qin Xinmei turned around, a slight smile playing on her lips, and continued running.

  Perhaps, this isn't so bad for the clown flower's fate.
