Chapter 5 - Queen of beauty

Han Jin was now calm, she had now come back to her senses.

She couldn't behave like this, not yet though.

"Brother Lingmi, I... I'm sorry. I don't know what overcame me. I was reminded of my nightmare the moment I saw you. Forget about whatever happened just now, alright?", Han Jin smiled and caressed his hand which held her little hand in his.

"Your cousin said you were out to sell, where are all your stuffs then?", Zhan Lingmi asked upon realizing that there was nothing in her hands.

If it was in the past, Han Jin would have answered him right away but this time she was very attentive and caught a problem with the question.

"Cousin? You mean Shaoze? How's that possible, we're dating in secrecy so how did you manage to go to the servants quarters and ask her? Didn't she suspect anything when you asked her about me?", Han Jin smartly filled Zhan Lingmi with thousands of questions at once.

"I...", Zhan Lingmi was left speechless and didn't know what to say. He always used this excuse to question Han Jin about certain things and he didn't expect her to catch on this time.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll ask Shaoze about it and make sure to check if she suspects anything", said Han Jin with a serious expression.

"No! Don't, it was a slip of tongue, I meant I asked Han Jingxi about it. I met her coincidentally on my way to the Han family house", Zhan Lingmi's palms were sweating as he spoke.

"Really, but brother Zhan, are you aware that big sister has feelings for you?", Han Jin smiled, her eyes didn't leave Zhan Lingmi's face for even a second. She wanted to see his reaction.

Indeed, when Zhan Lingmi heard her words, his eyes widened out of complete shock and he was also filled with fear.

"Han Jin, what nonsense are you spouting?", Zhan Lingmi was scared that perhaps Han Jin who he thought was a dummy must have started suspecting something.

Han Jin was actually a dummy, if not for her living her first life, she would never have known that there was something going on between Zhan Lingmi and Han Jingxi.

She had not been born smart and was always making a fool of herself.

"Brother Zhan, are you trying to say that I'm a fool?", Han Jin pretended to be offended and pouted her lips.

"No! Not at all, I... mean you must have been mistaken about what you're saying. There's no way your big sister would have feelings for me", Zhan Lingmi took a step closer to her and smiled at her.

"Really, but I want you to make a promise to me. You have to promise to never speak to big sister okay?", Han Jin lifted her little finger and intertwined it with Zhan Lingmi's.

"Alright", Zhan Lingmi chuckled and caressed her cheeks which were starting to be red.

He thought Han Jin was blushing but he didn't know she was actually annoyed when he placed his hand on her cheeks.

Zhan Lingmi escorted Han Jin back to the gate of the Han family before he finally left.

Han Jingxi, who stood hidden away in a corner clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Zhan Lingmi always assured her that he didn't have feelings for that wench but Han Jingxi was sure he did.

Zhan Lingmi had slept with her on her eighteenth birthday because she had given herself to him. She purely loved him and they were dating, their families were even planning their marriage so she didn't understand why he was fooling around with that illegitimate sister of hers.

Han Jingxi hated Han Jin so much but it was not mainly because of Zhan Lingmi. She had hated Han Jin since childhood because Han Jin was almost a thousands times prettier than her. Han Jin's face and skin were so flawless that some of the men secretly named her the queen of beauty.

It annoyed Han Jingxi so much that she always wanted to tear apart that innocent looking face of Han Jin's.

Han Jingxi dropped out of her thoughts and chased after Zhan Lingmi.

"Brother Zhan...", Han Jingxi stopped when she was not too far from him and called out his name loudly.

Zhan Lingmi heard his name from a familiar voice, he frowned immediately but turned around with a sweet smile.

"Jingxi...", Zhan Lingmi called out her name and strode towards her.

Since there was no one around, he wrapped his arms around her waist and captured her lips into a passionate kiss.

Han Jin who had not actually gone home and had been secretly chasing after them almost gasped out aloud when he saw them kiss in such an open space. Weren't they scared that anyone could pop out and see them.

Han Jingxi was taken aback by the sudden and passionate kiss but she let him do whatever he wanted to do.

After a few minutes, they both stopped and panted for breath.

Han Jingxi had forgotten about her anger after this short yet passionate kiss.

"Jingxi, I really miss how your body feels like when I'm with you in bed", Zhan Lingmi lowered his head and whispered into her ears.

Han Jingxi felt like her stomach was filled with butterflies and she couldn't help but blush.

"Brother Zhan!", Han Jingxi shyly rested her face on his broad chest.

Han Jin wasn't too shocked with what she was seeing but she still couldn't help but clench her fists seeing how happy they seemed.

Although she couldn't hear them, she could already guess what they were talking about.

In her past life, Zhan Lingmi had gotten married to Han Jingxi and she, Han Jin had been his mistress in secrecy.

It was because back then she had foolishly believed the words of Zhan Lingmi when he told her he loved her and was only marrying Han Jingxi because his family was forcing him to.

Seeing them together like this, Han Jin only felt a tiny tinge of anger in her. She was only angry that they made a fool out of her but she was glad that they were together.

She wondered how their life was going to turn out without her this time.

She was not going to forgive them for what they had done to her in her past life and what they were still planning to do to her in this life.

However, she was not interested in having her revenge at this moment.

Right now, what she wanted to do was to live her second life to the fullest and do whatever she wasn't able to do in her past life.

After that, when they thought their lives were perfect and okay, she was going to make them pay for whatever they had done. She would let them have a taste of their own medicine.
