My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 203 134: Leaving

With countless thoughts weighing on her mind, Jiangg Ning would drift off to sleep only to wake up again shortly after.

Every time she woke, she could hear Chen Yuan breathing beside her.

Lying on her side, she would slowly open her eyes. As she listened to his breathing, she would peer through a gap in the curtains at the night outside. Beneath the heavy blackout drapes, a sheer inner curtain made the world beyond look hazy and indistinct.

A sudden panic would seize her, and she would subconsciously clutch his hand. Then, just as suddenly, a wave of loss would wash over her, as if a tender piece of her heart had been carved away.

Listening to the soft whir of the suite’s central air, she snuggled deeper into Chen Yuan’s embrace and slowly closed her eyes again.

Jiangg Ning woke three or four times that night, her sleep fitful and uneasy.

The moment she closed her eyes, strange dreams would come, seeming to portend a turbulent future and startling her awake.

All around was silent.

But her entire back was slick with a layer of cold sweat.

…

「Around five in the morning.」

Jiangg Ning slipped out from under the covers, her movements exceptionally careful, terrified of waking Chen Yuan.

She tiptoed across the floor, not even daring to put on her slippers. She made her way to the dressing room, leaving the lights off.

She got dressed in the dark, relying on the faint glow from her phone’s flashlight.

Her flight back to Mingzhu City was booked for that morning. Her luggage was already in another suite. It was time to bid Sanya farewell and rush away in the dim, pre-dawn gloom.

Once she was ready, Jiangg Ning gazed at her reflection in the mirror. She wore a long-sleeved shirt adorned with a small black bow, slim-fit jeans, and a reddish-brown belt cinched at her waist.

She looked just as she had after high school, young and green, preparing to study abroad.

The only difference was, she hadn’t yet applied her bright red lip gloss.

After combing her hair and gently placing the comb on the table, Jiangg Ning walked out of the dressing room.

She looked again at Chen Yuan, his hair a mess as he slept, and a wave of tenderness washed over her. ‘This brief departure is for a better reunion,’ she thought, her resolve hardening. ‘I will find a future with Chen Yuan in it.’

‘She didn’t know what the road ahead held, whether it would be shrouded in mist or fraught with perilous hardship.’

But Jiangg Ning understood that she wouldn’t be the only one bearing the consequences of this life-altering decision.

And because of that, she wasn’t so afraid anymore.

Jiangg Ning knelt by the bed, leaning over to study Chen Yuan for a long while. In the dim room, half his face was buried in the pillow, and he slept soundly. His long eyelashes cast soft shadows beneath his eyes.

She reached out and gently touched his face, then leaned in to place a soft kiss on his forehead.

“Bye-bye…”

Jiangg Ning only mouthed the words, making no sound, and even gave a silly little wave.

A moment later, her eyes misted over, though a forced smile remained on her lips… She picked up her high heels with one hand and her bag with the other.

She pulled the bedroom door to.

At that moment, all was deathly silent.

…

Once she was out of the suite and in the hallway, Jiangg Ning could move more freely. She put on her high heels, plucked the key card from her bag, and strode toward Jiangg Yao’s room.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

After a quick knock, she went straight into the bedroom.

On the bed, Jiangg Yao was already awake, though still in a groggy state. She was sitting up, hunched over, the lower half of her body still under the covers, the hood of her pajamas pulled up.

Jiangg Ning slapped the key card down on a nearby surface and went straight to the vanity.

“You’re up too?” she asked as she began applying her makeup.

“Mmm…” Jiangg Yao’s voice was languid. “My head hurts a little, so I got up to sit for a bit. What time is it?”

She glanced up at her sister, who was already fully dressed.

“Five-thirty. The sun’s not up yet.”

“And the young master?”

“He’s dead to the world. He’ll probably sleep until the sun is high in the sky.”

“Alright, I’ll get changed and head over now. Sigh…” Jiangg Yao threw back the covers, her bare feet touching the floor. She pulled open the curtains to glance at the sky. “Your flight’s at six-thirty, right?”

“Yeah. It’s a bit tight, but I’ll make it.”

Jiangg Ning used a flat iron to give her bangs a bit of a lift, fluffing them in the mirror until they looked voluminous enough. Then she picked up an eyebrow pencil and defined her brows.

She uncapped a dusty rose lipstick, dabbed it lightly on her lips, and then blended the color with her finger.

Jiangg Yao, having finished changing, went into the bathroom and vigorously splashed her face with water.

Just a few seconds later, after drying her face, Jiangg Yao looked fresh and lovely.

They wore identical pajama slips, but the effect was completely different on each of them. They had the same face, yet their mannerisms were worlds apart.

Twins truly are a work of art.

And falling in love with the same person was their shared, unspoken destiny.

But right now, neither of them could have predicted what the future would hold.

They were simply walking, step by step, down the path laid out for them by fate—a path of separation and convergence.

She picked up her suitcase.

“So, I’ll head over first?” Jiangg Yao asked, taking a deep breath.

“Mhm, I’ll walk with you. I’m heading straight for the elevator after this. The car picking me up should be downstairs.”

…

Jiangg Yao tiptoed into the room and gently closed the door, which had been left ajar.

A distinct lump was visible under the soft covers. Chen Yuan was sprawled on his back, his pillow askew.

A smile played on Jiangg Yao’s lips as she looked at him. She lifted a corner of the blanket and deftly slipped under.

Instantly.

Warmth spread through her entire body.

The space under the covers was filled with Chen Yuan’s unique masculine scent, which she found strangely intoxicating.

Jiangg Yao took a deep sniff, then guided Chen Yuan’s hand to her waist. She even draped a leg over his, turning him into her own personal body pillow.

As if sensing the change beside him,

Chen Yuan shifted, smacking his lips a few times in his sleep, and pulled Jiangg Yao even closer.

“Young Master?” Yaoyao whispered.

She studied his face intently, and when she saw no reaction,

she pressed her soft lips to his.

Only then did she close her eyes in satisfaction, ready to sleep in with him until the sun was high in the sky.

…

A black Audi A6 sped down the road, the scenery blurring past. In the rearview mirror, the city grew more distant. After rounding a corner, its landmark skyscraper vanished from sight.

The driver, a woman nearing forty, studied the beautiful woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

“Miss, are you here for vacation or business? All by yourself?”

“Yes, I came for vacation by myself… and I’m leaving by myself, too,” Jiangg Ning replied with a smile.

She lowered her head, her fluffy hair obscuring her expression.

“Being on your own is nice. So much less hassle.”

Getting such a terse reply, the driver could only offer a concurring smile. She seemed to sense that the pretty young woman didn’t feel like talking, so after that brief exchange, she didn’t try to start any more conversation and simply drove in silence.

Jiangg Ning gazed out the window. The wind was quite strong today.
