Bei Sangyun finally broke her gaze with Lin Sanju and turned her attention back to Lin Sunji. She patted her shoulder gently.
"Trust me," she said with an uncharacteristic softness. "Don't waste your energy on Zhong Cheng. That man will always be more loyal to me than to you. You'll only end up hurting yourself. The right person will come for you—just make sure to look carefully when he does this time."
Lin Sunji: "??"
Bei Sangyun didn't bother to explain and headed upstairs with Lin Sanju following closely behind.
Left alone, Lin Sunji recovered her composure, replaying her cousin's words in her mind. Slowly, her face turned red.
"H-Hey! I don't have feelings for that idiot! I'm just upset because he stopped hanging out with me, okay? It's like my butler suddenly decided to get busy, that's all! Seriously!"
Her protests fell on deaf ears as the two disappeared upstairs.
