Chapter 43 If I don’t do it

Wei Lingyin was about to drink the wine, but unexpectedly, Wei Cheng appeared in front of her. She instantly became happy and put down the wine glass in her hand, "Brother Cheng? You are finally here!"

When she first arrived at the banquet, she searched everywhere for Wei Cheng, thinking that he might not come because he was so busy these days.

"Yes." Wei Cheng responded and silently poured out all the wine glasses in her hand.

At the same time, he took out a bunch of candied haws and placed it in front of Wei Lingyin. With a smile in his eyes, Wei Lingyin was instantly soaked in honey.

And this scene was seen by Sangsang.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

His eyes actually looked a bit like a mouse spying on other people's happy lives.

For a moment, there was a burst of sadness in her heart, and she stared at the two of them for a long time without knowing it.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Wei Lingyin turned around with a victor's smile, full of showoff, and seemed even more arrogant than usual.

Sangsang moved her eyes silently. She never belonged to this world. What were she expecting just now?
Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Cheng strode up to her side, his expression changing, becoming cold and terrifying.

"follow me."

He gave an order and looked at her condescendingly, his deep pool-like eyes stained with coldness.

Sangsang's heart thumped.

She glanced around and found that the Mid-Autumn Festival feast had not officially started yet. Everyone was busy doing their own thing, and no one paid attention to the two of them.

She nodded slightly, then stood up and followed Wei Cheng out the door.

Outside the door, the bright moonlight spread all over the place, and a cool breeze came. When I looked up, the bright moon was like a disk, and it seemed to be brighter than usual.

She lowered her head and followed Wei Cheng slowly to the courtyard outside.

The room was full of people and lively, but there was silence outside, as if it was a world away.

She was a little dazed.

Inadvertently, he bumped into Wei Cheng's back. His back seemed weak, but in fact it was extremely generous. Sang Sang was a little hurt from the hit and hurriedly covered her head.

He turned his head instantly and looked at her gloomily.

A magnetic voice sounded under the moonlight, with a hint of anger, "Do you know what you were doing just now?"

Sangsang's shoulders shook unconsciously.

She naturally knew that she would make Wei Lingyin ask for trouble by changing the medicine that Wei Lingyin was going to give her.

She nodded and looked at Wei Cheng with a bit of stubbornness, "Of course I know."

When Wei Cheng saw this, his heart was instantly filled with unknown anger.

"Now that you know it, why did you do this? Do you know what would happen to you if Ling Yin made a fool of himself at the banquet and found out afterwards?"

Is he... caring about her?
Sangsang hesitated for a moment, but after all, she couldn't breathe.

She didn't plan to do this from the beginning. If Wei Lingyin didn't want to attack her, how could she...

As her thoughts swirled, she suddenly felt aggrieved.

Yes, it was clearly not what she wanted, so now he is blaming her too?

Thinking of this, a flash of grievance flashed across Sangsang's face, but it returned to calm in an instant.

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Wei Cheng without blinking.

"I know you have always cared about her. She is the eldest lady that everyone envies. No matter what he does, no one will blame her. And I deserve to be framed!"

After saying that, Sangsang planned to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, the sharp-jointed hand behind him grasped his wrist.

Sangsang frowned and turned back, and the next second, he was pulled into Leng Lie's arms.

She gasped, her mind went blank, and she forgot all about the words that came to her mouth. "I'm not……"

Wei Cheng wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he stopped talking halfway through.

He gently let go of his hand, and the two of them looked at each other face to face. His expression was complicated, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when he looked at the stubborn face of the woman in front of him, nothing came out.

His clear eyes stared at him for a moment, like a frightened little rabbit. Sangsang's cheeks were slightly red, looking very attractive.

He couldn't look away for a long time, and when the words came to his mouth, he was forced to go back.

After a while, he suppressed the emotion on his face and looked away awkwardly.

"I don't want to help her, but I'm afraid you will go astray."

He explained forcefully.

Sangsang frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

Wei Cheng is shy?
No way!
"How could I go astray? I shouldn't be the one you should worry about."

Sang Sang became furious when she thought of Wei Lingyin drugging her.

Why should the person who drugged the drug get away with it, but she was considered to have gone astray?
"I did not mean that!"

Seeing that Sangsang was about to turn around and leave again, Wei Cheng's tone was a little higher.

"You are different from her. If you are found to have made a mistake, even I will have a hard time protecting you."

He couldn't imagine that Sangsang was in danger and that he was helpless.

He could only nip everything in the cradle to ensure her safety.

I just don’t know if Sangsang understands what he means.

The delicate face in front of her was full of doubts, and her small brows furrowed slightly. It was obvious that she was angry and couldn't listen to anything at all.

Wei Cheng saw her like this and said, "She was wrong in what happened this time. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Hearing what Wei Cheng said, Sangsang felt his chest suffocate, and his heart felt sour.

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Cheng did all this just for Wei Lingyin, and in the end, he actually lost face and apologized to her?
What a close brother-sister relationship.

There was a wry smile on Sangsang's lips, and she looked at him with disappointment.

"How dare you trouble the young master to come and apologize to me? No matter what the eldest lady does to me, it is all my own fault!"

She doesn't accept such an apology!

"If Wei Lingyin really thinks that she is wrong, then come and apologize to me in person. I will not accept your apology!"

Sangsang looked at him steadily, her eyes full of burning light and a hurt expression.

From the beginning to the end, she had no place in this family. In Wei Cheng's eyes, he was dispensable. He apologized just because he was afraid that she would find trouble with Wei Lingyin.

"I……"

Wei Cheng always felt that he was getting darker and darker. He wanted to explain, but he didn't expect that Sangsang would think so.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but suddenly rushed out of the darkness, and a figure stood in front of the two people.

Wei Lingyin looked at Sangsang arrogantly and said fiercely: "Why do you ask my brother to apologize to you? Who do you think you are!"

"Ling Yin!" Wei Cheng looked at her back with a frown and pulled her.

Wei Lingyin, as if she had been stimulated by something, suddenly raised her hand high, as if she wanted to slap Sangsang.

"That's enough!" Wei Cheng held her wrist.
