After My Sister Died, I Became His Second Wife

Her older sister died, and Ji Ruyue married her former brother-in-law, becoming his wife in name only. In reality, she spent his money, took the title of Mrs. Shen, and kept her own man. Shen Qiji heard her speaking to her pretty-boy lover outside the private room: “We just have to outlast him. Once he’s dead, the child will be ours, and everything the Shen family owns will be ours.” Shen Qiji clenched his fists, his face darkening. Shen Qiji: “You’re only used to him. That isn’t love!” Ji Ruyue: “Some people spend their whole lives trying to get used to each other, but never can. I’ve been used to him for twenty years. Why shouldn’t I keep going? I’m already used to it, so why change?” Lu Bai: “I’ve never dared to cross the line between friends, Ruyue. I’m certain my feelings for you are romantic. But I worry that you rely on me as a brother, a family member, or just a closer friend. I don’t want you to meet someone you truly fall for one day and have to come back and apologize to me. So I’ve been waiting for you to grow up and be sure of your own feelings. What about you, Ruyue?” Ji Ruyue: “Silly, I’m waiting for you to come a little closer.”
