Chapter 411: Xia Yu’s Visit
Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At the start, Xia Ling and Xia Yu were orphans.

After being adopted by Pei Ziheng, Xia Ling said that she wanted to set the day of their adoption as her birthday, and Xia Yu followed suit. Thus, the birthdays of the two sisters were set on this day. For many years in the past, the three of them used to commemorate this day together. Sometimes, Pei Ziheng would be impatient and tried to persuade Xia Ling to spend time with him the day before their birthdays without Xia Yu. Either that or he would spend the afternoon with both of them and spend more time with Xia Ling exclusively at night.

That was until Xia Ling passed away.

On this day last year, Xia Yu was drunk as he knocked on his door. She cried in his arms and said that she missed her sister. That night, she wore her sister’s favorite dress and her sister’s favorite jewelry, looking like a weeping beauty. In a trance, it was as if Xiao Ling were alive again.

He drank with her. After smelling a familiar perfume fragrance on her body, he almost recognized the wrong person and could not hold back.

He still had regrets from that night. If something happened, how could he face Xiao Ling? Xia Yu was different from other women as she was Xiao Ling’s beloved sister. He could never touch her.

Now, after hearing that Xia Yu was here again, he frowned slightly.

“Go accompany her.” Xia Ling sounded a little tired. “I want to sleep.”

“I’m not supposed to tell her who you are, right?” Pei Ziheng asked.

Xia Ling shook her head. “It has been two lifetimes. There’s no point in telling her.”

Pei Ziheng felt the same way. It would be better if fewer people knew about Xiao Ling’s rebirth. Even if she were a close relative, it was not necessary to tell her. Besides, they had so many arguments in this life, and many unpleasant things had happened. Who knew what would happen if she found about her true identity? He decided to just let Xiao Yu remain in the dark about her sister.

Pei Ziheng said, “Sleep first. I will be back soon.”

However, Xia Ling felt hungry again. “I want to eat supper.”

“What do you want to eat?” He asked warmly.

“Boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili.” She said. Since her pregnancy, she found food that she did not frequently eat surprisingly delicious.

Pei Ziheng nodded and instructed Nanny Zhou to prepare it.

Nanny Zhou heard their conversation at the side and praised Miss Ye in her heart for being understanding and did not make things difficult for Mister because of a situation that involved Miss Xia Ling and Miss Xia Yu. Her impression of Miss Ye increased further. Furthermore, she was already delighted to take care of a pregnant woman, so she smiled in acknowledgment and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Pei Ziheng helped her put on a jacket and kissed her forehead before he left.

In the living room, sure enough, Xia Yu was waiting for him.

Tonight, she had put on bright makeup like her sister used to. There was a form of exquisiteness in her charm that tugged on one’s heartstrings. The dress she wore used to be her sister’s favorite. It was an elegant hand-embroidered silk and satin dress matched with diamond earrings and a necklace. Even the perfume she used was the same brand that her sister used to wear.

Last year, when she was dressed up like this, Pei Ziheng did not feel anything. However, now he felt a little uncomfortable. His Xiao Ling was irreplaceable. How could she be compared to an inferior imitation?
