Chapter 991: Chapter 1015:
It has to be said, Lu Xingshen’s scheming is indeed deep.
But he overlooked that a person’s moment of being moved is a matter of a fleeting moment, a reliance born from a brief warmth.
Yet if subjected to endless grievances without thorough resolution, that moment of being moved will seem trivial.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff.
Madam Shi chuckled to interrupt, "Nuannuan, your hair has grown long, now you look like a cute little girl. Later, Grandma will buy you a few dresses, don’t dress up like a tomboy."
Shi Nuan was stunned, Shi Yue raised her eyes to look at her for a moment, suddenly alarmed, and immediately called out, "Mom, you agreed with Shi Nuan, she can’t keep long hair or wear dresses, I’m the only young lady in the house!"
Madam Shi said, "Yes, yes, only you are the little princess of the family, your sister won’t compete with you, right Shi Nuan?"
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, nodded lightly, but felt very sarcastic inside, where wouldn’t she compete, she simply had no right to speak.
She was just an adopted daughter, taken in by the Shi Family. It’s good enough that they provide her with food and clothing, what rights could she possibly have?
Shi Nuan said, "No need, Grandma, I just like being a tomboy, dresses are too girlish, not my style."
Madam Shi looked at Shi Nuan, sighed softly,
"Nuannuan is talking silly again, such a beautiful girl, obviously can dress like a princess, how could she like the clothes even an old lady like me doesn’t like, even if one likes being a tomboy, at the core she’s still a girl, no girl dislikes dresses..."
Shi Nuan heard this, glanced at Lu Xingshen who didn’t intend to say a word, her nose felt sour, and she said nothing.
Shi Yue snorted proudly, with her around, Shi Nuan could forget about being a girl, she could only look ugly for life.

After dinner, Shi Nuan returned to her room and locked the door.
Then she went to look in the mirror, discovering her hair was really long, already reaching the roots of her ears, adding a bit of softness to her originally spirited face.
Her fair and tender face, glassy eyes, truly resembled a girl.
Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up upon seeing herself, suddenly remembering something, she opened the nearby wardrobe, and from the bottom layer, pulled out a few pink dresses.
Her wardrobe was almost entirely filled with neutral shirts and trousers, the colors were either white, or gray and black.
Compared to the pink dresses in her hand, it was a world of difference.
This was Shi Nuan’s secret, no one knew.
Her superb acting skills had fooled everyone, in reality, she loved dresses, she dreamed of wearing them, but she had no right to wear them.
From the age of six when she became aware that she was a girl, she lost the right to be a girl.
What girl doesn’t yearn for spring?
She was never someone without desires.
She could only secretly buy dresses, and at midnight, admire herself secretly, this was the only happiness she had in her eighteen-year life.
Shi Nuan put on a dress, looking at herself in the mirror, speaking softly with a voice tinged with grievance,
"Shi Yue is the Shi family’s little princess, then what about me, whose little princess am I, are my parents still around, have they given up on me?
If not, would they love me dearly, would they buy me lots of beautiful dresses, then would I not have to care about anyone’s opinion, and live the life I want?"
Three days passed in a blur.
