What he wanted was simply a "perfect creation" that he could shape at will, one that would forever cling to him.
And I, Lin Yan, the humble, timid girl with a scarred face who needed his "rescue," happened to be the most perfect raw material.
Ten years.
A full decade.
I lived in the carefully woven lies he spun, becoming a joke.
A living specimen whose very existence was meant to satisfy his twisted need for control!
The cold scent of cedar mixed with the air of despair completely engulfed me.
At this moment, I collapsed onto the icy floor.
Just then—
A faint sound of footsteps came from outside the office door.
Drawing closer.
The footsteps grew nearer, and my heart felt as if it would leap out of my chest.
Fear, anger, despair—various emotions intertwined, nearly tearing me apart.
I lifted my head and looked toward the door.
The office door slowly creaked open.
A familiar figure appeared in the doorway.
In the dim light, I couldn't see her face clearly; I could only make out her slender silhouette and the shimmering necklace around her neck.
Twin Blossoms.
Su Qing?!
What was she doing here?
Had she returned?
My mind went blank, unable to think.
Su Qing slowly approached and turned on the office lights.
The bright lights illuminated her face.
That face, almost identical to mine, was adorned with a delicate hearing aid on her right ear.
The diamonds on the hearing aid reflected the light, casting tiny specks of brilliance across her features.
One beam of light fell precisely on the corner of my left eye.
There, a scar covered by concealer became faintly visible under the illumination.
Su Qing's gaze also landed on the corner of my left eye.
Her expression was complex and difficult to read.
There was shock, confusion, and… a hint of pain that was hard to detect.
“Xiao Yan…”
She spoke softly, her voice trembling.
My body stiffened suddenly.
Xiao Yan…
That was the name only my family called me when I was a child.
Su Qing… she… she recognized me?
I bit my lip tightly, unable to speak.
Fear and hope clashed within my heart.
Su Qing took a step closer, stopping just a step away from me.
“It really is you… Xiao Yan…”
Her voice caught in her throat, tears glistening in her eyes.
“Over the years… have you been well?”
Her hand gently brushed against my face.
Her fingertips touched the scar at the corner of my left eye.
I instinctively took a step back, avoiding her touch.
"Don't touch me!"
My voice was hoarse, laced with a barely perceptible tremor.
Su Qing's hand froze in mid-air, and tears finally slipped from her eyes.
"I'm sorry... Xiao Yan... I'm so sorry..."
She covered her face and sobbed softly.
I looked at her, my heart a tumult of emotions.
Ten years.
A full decade.
I had finally seen her again.
The sister I once fought desperately to protect.
"You... you knew all along, didn't you?"
I spoke with a quiver, my voice cracking.
Su Qing lifted her head, gazing at me through tear-filled eyes.
"Knew what?"
"Knew that I am Lin Yan! Knew that I am your sister! Knew that he... Lu Chen Zhou... he..."
I choked on my words, unable to form a complete sentence.
Su Qing's tears flowed even more fiercely.
She pulled an envelope from her bag and handed it to me.
"This is... something Mom asked me to give you before she passed away..."
I trembled as I took the envelope and opened it.
Inside was a letter and a photograph.
