Peach-Orange! – Chapter 479 – Admit It, Xiaocheng No Longer Belongs to You

The change in Su Tao was obvious. As her mind gradually sank into darkness like water, her temperament would also change imperceptibly.

Even if she maintained a performative smile on her face, the subtle changes in her movements and demeanor were often things people couldn’t react to and control consciously.

Just like now.

Her action of stroking Chi Xiaocheng’s head was very gentle.

Watching Dongfang Yang and Qian Qing walk hand in hand on the red carpet, Su Tao’s gaze tended more towards calmness and emptiness.

‘It was a somewhat enviable scene, but it had nothing to do with me.’

‘But it had a lot to do with Xiaocheng.’

‘She is lying to me.’

‘She is not lying to me.’

The scales in her heart constantly weighed the weight of these two sentences.

The change in her expression also became increasingly obvious.

It was just that Chi Xiaocheng was already resting her head on the young girl’s lap, unable to see that change in expression.

And the system and Xiao Hei, whom she trusted, had completely different plans from her.

Compared to being together safely and securely, the person and the system hoped more that Su Tao’s weight could break through the 50% boundary.

Only this way could they avoid a mutually destructive struggle with the world’s will.

The brief conflict between the two seemed somewhat insignificant compared to this final cycle of reincarnation, where there was no chance to start over again.

Further away, the head maid, Song Liyin, also wore a faint, elusive smile.

The change in Su Tao was also noticed by her, and at this moment, she was also holding a phone and communicating with another person.

“Young Lady, as you predicted, Su Tao’s condition has further deteriorated. She definitely has deeper suspicions about Chi Xiaocheng.”

Young Lady: “She didn’t make any drastic moves?”

“No, there was just a noticeable change in her temperament. She no longer has that white moonlight appearance. The smile on her face is so fake it’s nauseating.

“But even so, she can still maintain a minimum level of rationality. It’s truly impressive.”

Approval for Su Tao appeared in Song Liyin’s eyes.

She was the young lady’s personal maid.

She knew many things unknown to others.

She also knew why Su Tao had become like this.

Clearly she liked Chi Xiaocheng so much, yet because of trivial matters, unnecessary misunderstandings arose. These misunderstandings gathered together and were given a slight push….

Song Liyin continued sending messages: “Young Lady, what should we do next?”

Young Lady: “So that guy still couldn’t sit still after all?”

“It’s understandable. After all, this is a great opportunity. If they overcome this difficulty and clear up the misunderstanding with Dongfang Yang, afterwards they’ll be inseparable. It will be even harder to break them up then.”

Young Lady: “Heh.”

Young Lady: “Su Tao is indeed the protagonist, not exploding even like this. Go add some fuel to the fire for her. Be careful.”

Lizi: “But that one….”

Young Lady: “Don’t worry about Him. If you notice anything wrong and are affected, tell me immediately.”

The messages ended. A flicker of hard-to-perceive satisfaction passed through Song Liyin’s eyes.

Then she put away her phone again.

She actually didn’t know why the young lady was doing so much.

If it was just to target Su Tao, or to capture Chi Xiaocheng, using force directly would be fine.

Why be like now, having this strength but being restricted and told not to act.

However, she didn’t need to think that much.

She just needed to listen to the young lady’s words.

Song Liyin sighed and straightened her maid uniform.

After Dongfang Yang and Qian Qing finished their formalistic romantic walk, she offered them blessings.

Then she stood up.

Instantly, most people at the venue turned their attention to this maid.

The maid representing that young lady from the capital was making a move. Could it be that someone else had gained her favor?

And when Song Liyin turned and faced Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.

Both individuals, who had been snuggled on the sofa, bristled.

Chi Xiaocheng’s pupils contracted, slowly turning into frightening vertical pupils, with a hint of crimson slowly dyeing them.

Su Tao even stopped her stroking motion, stood up directly, positioning herself slightly in front of Chi Xiaocheng, her eyes wary.

The former was wary of the world’s will.

Song Liyin’s character weight was not low; the world’s will could completely use her as a medium to cause trouble.

The latter was wary of Song Liyin herself; she was very afraid that Song Liyin was planning something big.

Seeing herself being viewed with such hostility, Song Liyin was also helpless. She walked leisurely to the two of them and performed an elegant curtsy. “Good evening, young ladies. We’ve only just met; there’s no need to be so tense, is there?”

Su Tao snorted coldly. “Don’t think we don’t know what good deeds you’ve done. A weasel paying respects to a chicken… I advise you to just drop your little schemes.”

Song Liyin smiled faintly. “What little schemes?”

“You want to steal my Xiaocheng away, don’t think I don’t know!” Su Tao moved further to block Chi Xiaocheng behind her, not caring that so many people at the banquet were looking in their direction.

Song Liyin’s calm expression never changed. “How can you be so sure that Miss Chi is yours?”

“You—!” Su Tao’s eyes narrowed. The inexplicable goodwill she had felt towards Song Liyin before instantly vanished without a trace.

Now, she just wanted to punch this person in the face.

So smugly smiling, disgusting!

Fortunately, Su Tao’s rationality still existed. She knew that if she took action now, even Dongfang Yang and Si Chen might not be able to protect her and Xiaocheng.

She completely lacked the ability to contend with the person before her.

Unless that so-called father really came back and stood completely on her side.

Song Liyin sighed and said, “Miss Su Tao, it’s true that we have conflicts, but why are you so anxious? Is it because you feel you can’t hold onto Chi Xiaocheng?”

The maid stared directly into Su Tao’s eyes. “You know that Chi Xiaocheng doesn’t belong only to you.

“You also understand that your current self can’t give her the life she wants, that you don’t have better conditions to give her happiness.

“You even know what the other party’s specific feelings are.”

Song Liyin hit the nail on the head with every word, step by step walking to Su Tao’s side, then speaking into her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear: “Indeed, my young lady wants to take Chi Xiaocheng away. But what can you do about it?”

Su Tao clenched her teeth. Her hanging hands suddenly balled into fists. On her arms, one could faintly see veins threatening to bulge.

The young girl was furious.

But she dared not take any action.

Even though her shoulders and fists were trembling.

She could only grit her teeth and endure, swallowing the grievance and anger in her heart.

Because what Song Liyin said was not wrong.

Why was she angry? Why did she feel uneasy? Why did she almost lose control?

Wasn’t the reason for everything the fact stated by this maid before her:

That Xiaocheng was no longer hers?
