Ling Hua naturally still sided with her own dear friend. Even though Zhang Lexue and Xu Qingyi were close companions in their boudoir, and her elder brother liked Zhang Lexue—to the point where she had taken pains to get her married into their family—it still couldn't equal the bond she had with Xiao Qingyu from childhood.
Therefore, seeing Xiao Qingyu's confrontational mood with Xu Qingyi, she nodded, "Alright."
Xiao Qingyu wrapped her arm around hers, nuzzling her shoulder with her head, "Darling, I just knew you were on my side. I love you."
Ling Hua: "..."
She had tried so hard, yet she couldn't even coax a word of affection from Yan Qing's lips, but from Xiao Qingyu, whom she'd known since childhood, she had received plenty of phrases like 'I like you' and 'I love you.' Whenever she received nice things from her, or when she did something that pleased her, Ling Hua would be delighted to hear such sweet nothings, which might sound cheesy but also made her seem adorable.
