Chapter 100: If This Isn’t Love, Then What Is?

Turning her chair around, Chu Lingshuang sat down coldly, crossing her right leg over her left and folding her arms, casting a faint, indifferent glance at her.

Chu Yunran looked up excitedly, her eyes full of admiration as she gazed at her elder sister. “Sis, I’m telling you, with how you and Brother Lin look, any kids you have will definitely be beautiful. Brother Lin is also incredibly talented. A good man like him—you absolutely can’t miss out!”

Hearing this, Chu Lingshuang’s eyes darkened. She uncrossed her legs and leaned forward on the table, reaching out to gently tap Chu Yunran’s cheek, her voice cold. “Still half asleep?”

With two light taps, Chu Yunran’s eyes shone even brighter.

She grabbed Chu Lingshuang’s wrist with a beaming smile. “Sis, don’t you like Brother Lin?”

There was a hint of probing in her words.

But Chu Lingshuang ignored it; her mind was occupied by that word—“like.”

Like?

Did she like him?

Impossible. He was nothing more than a prized canary she had her eye on...

Seeing Chu Lingshuang’s silence, Chu Yunran’s eyes suddenly blazed. Without her sister saying more, she already knew what was going on.

Looks like sis is unknowingly in love!

Or maybe she just refuses to admit it?

Chu Yunran’s gaze flickered. Others might not see it, but after all these years, she knew best.

Her sister was excellent in every way, talented and outstanding, yet stubbornly tight-lipped. Had she not just hidden in the closet and witnessed that heart-racing scene, she would never have believed her sister could fall for someone.

At Lin Feng’s single word, her sister went out. Sometimes she wouldn’t even listen to their parents, but now she was so indulgent toward a man.

If that’s not love, then what is?

The smile deepened in Chu Yunran’s eyes as she giggled and tentatively said, “Sis, I can tell, Brother Lin likes you...”

Hearing this, Chu Lingshuang’s heart jolted—he liked her?

Her eyes widened slightly. No way!

Wasn’t his greatest desire to get away from her?

Could it be that all this time, he’d been playing hard to get?

That thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you saying all those resisting acts of his were just an act?”

“Yes!” Chu Yunran nodded excitedly. Catching the shock on her sister’s face, her smile grew wider. “Brother Lin really likes you. He’s just doing that on purpose to get your attention...”

Then, carefully adding, “Sis, if you don’t believe me, why don’t you try it out?”

Those words hit a chord deep within Chu Lingshuang’s heart.

She really wanted to know what Lin Feng’s true feelings were. If he was indeed acting, then he was no different from those other men—just that her feelings had deepened because of physical reasons.

But if he truly was acting, how clever!

Had he calculated to draw her into his scheme?

He deserved punishment.

A ruthless gleam flashed through Chu Lingshuang’s eyes. She hoped he wasn’t playing hard to get.

Otherwise, if he dared toy with her feelings, she would make sure he learned exactly how formidable she was!

“How do I try?” she asked coldly, tapping her finger on the table with a steady “thump thump thump.”

Interested?

Chu Yunran’s eyes sparkled. See? She knew her sister had fallen for Lin Feng! Sis was just being stubborn!

Chu Yunran admitted she was curious about Lin Feng at first, but after truly understanding him, she wanted to see how he would react when confronted.

Especially now, her mind raced with mental images of Lin Feng being pinned down by her sister, biting his teeth in frustration and pushing back. Chu Yunran was thrilled beyond measure!

The two people she loved most and admired were displaying such extreme contrast.

What could be more delightful than watching their ultimate tug-of-war?

More importantly, if Lin Feng really became her brother-in-law, he would be the only one capable of keeping her sister in check!

Her sister was too difficult to handle; dealing with a man was much easier.

Then, as long as she clung to Lin Feng’s leg, her sister wouldn’t be able to send her off to Indonesia on a whim anymore.

The thought quickened Chu Yunran’s heartbeat and breath. Filled with excitement, she suddenly leaned closer and said, “Sis, you can start with his hobbies!”

Chu Lingshuang frowned. “Hobbies?”

“Yes!” Chu Yunran nodded eagerly, like a little chick pecking at grain. “For example, find out what he likes and give him that as a gift. See if he accepts it or not!”

Seeing her sister fall silent, Chu Yunran pressed on, “If he accepts it, doesn’t that prove he likes you and was just pretending before?”

Chu Lingshuang found the logic quite reasonable.

This was indeed the quickest way to test whether Lin Feng truly liked her.

But...

Watching Chu Lingshuang knit her brows tightly, Chu Yunran’s excited expression turned tentative. “Wait, sis... you don’t know what Brother Lin likes, do you?”

She really didn’t.

Chu Lingshuang answered silently, knowing only that he wanted freedom—a desire she was least able to give.

Seeing her sister’s silence, Chu Yunran felt her smile falter.

Come on, sis, seriously? After all this time, you still don’t know his hobbies...

Well, she had never been in love before, so how could she understand these things...

Waving her hand, Chu Yunran pulled out her phone. “Forget it, sis. I’ll help you. I’ll search online, and we’ll pick something together.”

Chu Lingshuang said nothing, merely watching coldly as Chu Yunran searched.

After a moment, Chu Yunran’s eyes suddenly widened, then she shouted.

“Whoa!”

She hurriedly thrust the phone in front of Chu Lingshuang with a look of disdain. “Sis, look! Someone’s faking it!”

Squinting, Chu Lingshuang glimpsed the trending topic on the screen.

#FactoryBoyfriend’sGirlfriendShowsGift_Explodes#

A strange tug gripped her heart as she tapped the trending hashtag.

Inside was a post by a user named “FactoryBoyfriend’sGirlfriend,” featuring a handcrafted jar of star-shaped origami. Hanging beside it was a bookmark inscribed “Lin Feng & Ziyue.”

In an instant, an endless fury ignited within Chu Lingshuang.

She knew Fang Ziyue was Lin Feng’s ex-girlfriend and had met her before, but seeing their sweet moments displayed before her eyes made it impossible to restrain her anger.

“Order someone to remove the trending topic immediately! And make the Fang family get out of Jing City at once!” she roared, her rage overwhelming.

On the other side, Chu Yunran hurriedly said, “Sis, I know you’re angry, but calm down first.”

Chu Lingshuang glared at her, grinding her teeth so fiercely they creaked.

Blinking innocently, Chu Yunran leaned in. “I think this could be a good thing. Sis, you can see what he’s given before—then you can tailor your gifts to his tastes, right?!”
