After Breaking Up With the Scheming Bad Woman

1 unlock every Wednesday and Sunday

…

When Huai Xing was sixteen, her mother was preparing to start a new family with an old classmate. But before their names could be joined on the same household register, both of their parents passed away in an accident.

The rain poured down in sheets. As Huai Xing knelt before the gravestone, her vision blurred. It was then that the uncle’s daughter came to her side.

Chu Wantang held an umbrella and bent down, meticulously wiping the rain and tears from her face. She asked softly, “Do you want to let me be your family? I don’t have a family anymore, either.”

Huai Xing didn’t refuse.

She went to university in the city where Chu Wantang lived and moved into her house. To the outside world, they were known as sisters with a six-year age gap.

As they spent more and more time together, Huai Xing inevitably developed feelings for the gentle Chu Wantang. But Chu Wantang did not feel the same way about her.

The shift in their relationship came one night.

Slightly drunk after a social engagement, Chu Wantang held Huai Xing, calling her name over and over, tender and restrained, like a lover’s whisper.

After a night of debauchery, Huai Xing opened her eyes to find a fully dressed Chu Wantang, her gaze frosty, questioning her coolly, “Are you a lesbian?”

“…No, I’m not, Sister.” Huai Xing’s lips were pale as she shook her head in denial.

“Good that you’re not. From now on, we’ll just satisfy each other’s physical needs.” Chu Wantang’s lowered eyes returned to their usual gentleness, a dimple appearing by her lips. She ruffled Huai Xing’s hair. “I’ve raised you for so long. Don’t make things difficult for me, Xiao Xing.”

This ambiguous atmosphere continued for many nights. Huai Xing didn’t make things difficult for Chu Wantang. She never mentioned feelings and continued to play the role of the little sister in front of others.

Until she overheard Chu Wantang say to a friend, “Little sister? More like a little pet. Comes when called, goes when shooed.”

When Chu Wantang returned from her business trip, the little pet had vanished without a trace.

Only a bank card was left on the table.

Later, Huai Xing would say, “Miss Chu, I just don’t love you. What have I done wrong?”
