"A puppy," Shen Jingwei lied between his teeth without the slightest hint of remorse.
"A puppy?" Song Yaya frowned.
"A puppy," Shen Jingwei confirmed.
Behind them, the mature conversation continued.
"I love you," Song Xiaoling sobbed. "I thought that, after all these years, you would come to love me too!"
Yan Renzhong let out a frustrated roar.
"I have only ever seen you as a sister. I trust that I have never put you in a position to question my intention toward you."
Song Yaya was listening with rapt attention. She wanted to hear more about the puppy, but neither grown sibling cared to mention it again.
Song Xiaoling even began to sob loudly.
"My feelings will never change, no matter how many years may pass. We will only be siblings, no more than that," Yan Renzhong stated mercilessly.
Those words shattered Song Xiaoling's fragile glass heart into pieces, but they made Song Yaya extremely happy.
