Medical Sovereign - Chapter 129
Chapter 129 Brother and Sisters
By virtue of their beauty, there was nothing that they could not do. What difficulties had they met that Ji Jun ended up taking them captive and giving them away as gifts?
Taking advantage of the lapse in their drinking, Ding Ning calmly pulled his arm away from its surrounding softness and asked them for their names.
The older sister was Huanhuan and the younger sister was Lele. Although Ding Ning could not distinguish who was older, at least he knew what their names were.
The pair of beautiful sisters, seemingly more at ease knowing that their first times would be given to such a young and handsome guy, gradually smiled.
In addition, Ding Ning did not act like other men who recklessly pawed them. He was gentle and spoke in an elegant manner, which gradually eased their tension. Occasionally, they would even joke with him.
Still unable to distinguish between the two, Ding Ning quietly asked the girl on the left, “Is there any difference between you sisters? It’ll be easier for me to tell who is who.”
The girl answered shyly, “I’m the younger sister Lele. I look exactly the same as my sister. The only difference is that I have a red birthmark on my chest and my older sister doesn’t.”
Ding Ning was embarrassed. “What the fuck. It’s not like I can take off your bras and see if there’s red birthmark to distinguish between you two.”
Looking at Ding Ning’s unnatural expression, Lele covered her mouth to cover up a giggle. She seemed to find Ding Ning’s blushing look to be adorable.
Ji Jun, being the boss, naturally had to greet other guests. He temporarily left Ding Ning alone after an apology. Ding Ning seized the chance to ask, “Why are you doing this?”
Lele looked downcast. “We don’t want to do this but we have no choice. My older sister and I are students at the Ninghai Academy of Arts. Our father died early and it’s our mother who brought us up. Now she has cancer and is urgently waiting for surgery. We have to earn enough money for the surgery.”
Ding Ning’s mood was heavy. The reality was always filled with such helplessness. Although he could not save everyone that he met, he would help if he could.
“Would you still do this if I offer to pay for the surgery?”
“So what if you help us pay for the surgery? We still have to do this.”
Huanhuan appeared standoffish. Her voice was a bit hoarse, not as clear and melodious as Lele’s voice, but carried a kind of magnetism. She had a very beautiful voice.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you doing this for the operation fee?”
Ding Ning’s expression was dark. He was willing to help these two sisters. He would help if he could because he felt like they were brought together by fate. But if they did not have self-respect and abandoned themselves, he would not meddle in their business.
Noticing the change in Ding Ning’s expression, Lele sighed. Tears were welling in her beautiful eyes.
“Brother Ning, I know you’re a good person. You can help us deal with an emergency but you can’t save us from poverty. My mother has advanced liver cancer. Never mind the low success rate of surgery. Even if it’s successful, we can’t afford the future medical fees. My older sister and I can’t do anything except singing and dancing. We don’t know how to make money. If my mother’s surgery fails… We have our future rent, living expenses, tuition, and so on to think about. Which one of those doesn’t require money?”
“Brother Jun is supporting us now. We don’t have to do anything. We just receive specialized training every month, learning how to please and serve men, and he’ll pay us 20,000 yuan monthly. That’s almost enough to cover my mother’s hospitalization expenses. Even if we sell our virginity, how much is it worth? 100,000 yuan at most? That’s still far from enough to cover the cost of my mother’s surgery. What can we do if not this?”
Huanhuan looked sad and the tears in her eyes were glistening. “This is our destiny. We know that Brother Jun is supporting us every month because he’s waiting for the right selling price. He’ll give us to someone whom he needs to befriend at the right time. But once women like us lose our virginity, the best ending we can hope for is to be kept as mistresses. When we were at college, we despised classmates who sold themselves for money. We didn’t expect that in the end, we’ll have to become the kind of person we hate the most.” She sobbed.
Huanhuan was crying so hard that she couldn’t speak. Lele couldn’t help getting infected and teared up as well.
All kinds of feelings welled up in Ding Ning’s heart as he remembered Bai Qinglian’s eyes which were full of complexity.
He always thought that she gave up her principles because she couldn’t hold on and surrendered to reality.
Sometimes what one saw was just one facet of the truth. Perhaps she had encountered problems that she couldn’t solve like Huanhuan and Lele and he wasn’t capable of helping her then. That was why she chose to sell herself.
Now that he thought about it, he found himself to be the most ridiculous person. He questioned her like a mad man and even insulted her. He never wondered if she was facing difficulties.
He knew her character. Seeing as she had endured it for four years, how could she give up at the last minute? “Ding Ning, Ding Ning, you always believed you’re in the right. You always judged a person arbitrarily.”
He felt a stab of pain. The pair of eyes that were full of complexity came to his mind again as if they were pouring out her grievances, helplessness, and sadness. He wanted nothing more than to find her now and ask her about the truth.
It had been so long that he thought that he had forgotten about it. However, when he inadvertently touched the past, it was as if he was poking at a scabbed wound. It still hurt so much.
“Qinglian, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I know that you must have your difficulties but I couldn’t help you at all. Rest assured. I have the ability to help others now. I won’t let Huanhuan and Lele follow your footsteps. It’s a sunny day whenever you’re doing well,” Ding Ning thought to himself.
He reached out to hold Huanhuan and Lele’s hands. With a serious expression, he said, “Huanhuan, Lele, I want to support you. I won’t let you worry about money in the future. Neither will I allow you to sell your bodies and dignity in exchange for money.”
Huanhuan and Lele opened their little mouths, stunned. The rim of Lele’s eyes turned red as she asked, “Brother Ning, are you really going to support us?”
Ding Ning nodded with a smile. “Yes, I will support you, but it’s not the kind that you’re thinking of. I’ll treat you as my own younger sisters. I will never let you worry about money. I will support your university tuition and living fees. I will help you find jobs after graduation, up until you find someone you like enough to marry.”
“Brother Ning, what do you want? We have nothing to offer except our virgin bodies.”
Huanhuan was very rational. She didn’t believe his words and gave him a straightforward reminder.
“I don’t need anything in return. I’m just fulfilling a dream that I have.”
Ding Ning showed a relaxed smile. It seemed that Bai Qinglian’s eyes came back to him and that pair of complex eyes seemed to be revealing a relieved smile right then.
“Goodbye, Qinglian!”
Ding Ning felt like he had broken free of some sort of mental shackles. He felt changed as if he had become free and easy.
“She must be beautiful,” Lele said softly.
There was a hint of envy in her pupils.
The corners of Ding Ning’s mouth became upturned. This girl was truly considerate. He nodded with a smile and rubbed her head fawningly. He then reached to hold the girls’ hands.
“I’m your older brother from now on. Let’s get to know one another officially. My name is Ding Ning. I’m 22 years old as well as a little doctor.”
Tears were glistening in Huanhuan’s eyes. She held his hand with her fair and delicate hand and said in a low voice, “Ye Huan, 20 years old!” In her eyes was an unusual emotion surging back and forth.
“Brother, I’m Ye Le!”
Lele already liked Ding Ning in the first place. Right now, she was more like a child who took the initiative to call him brother.
Ding Ning scratched his head in confusion and asked, “Lele, how old are you?”
“Pfft!” The pair of beautiful sisters couldn’t help laughing.
Ye Le naughtily pouted and adorably rolled her eyes. “We’re twins. You tell me how old am I?”
“Oh! Sorry, I forgot that!”
Ding Ning was embarrassed. His IQ must be buried under all his muscles. He forgot that they were twins.
Seeing Ding Ning’s embarrassment, Ye Le took his arm with a smile and placed her head on his shoulder. She whispered, “Since I was a child, I had always hoped for an older brother who can protect us. My dream is finally coming true. This is so nice, Brother.”
“Heh. You have a sweet mouth, Lele. Huanhuan hasn’t called me Brother until now.”
Ding Ning’s heart was full of tender feelings. He gave the shy Ye Huan a teasing look.
Ye Huan pursed her lips and shyly said, “Brother!”
“Great! I finally have younger sisters. Haha, it’s really something to be happy about. Come, let’s toast this. But let me say it first. From now on, you’re not allowed to come to such a dangerous place, let alone to drink. Do you understand?”
Ding Ning poured three glasses of alcohol for them. They clinked their glasses and drank it off.
Lele wiped the alcohol stains on her lips and curiously asked, “Brother, we understand why you wouldn’t let us come to such places but why are you stopping us from drinking too?”
“There are so many bad guys these days. Since I’m your brother, I naturally have the obligation to protect you. Alcohol is not a good thing. If you drink too much and encounter sexual harassment, I’ll still regret it even after killing those bastards.”
Ding Ning spoke like a true older brother.
Ye Le rolled her eyes. With faintly blushing cheeks, she said, “So it’s better if you take both of our first times, Brother.”
Ye Huan said nothing but she blushed and gave Ding Ning a loving look. She seemed to have no objection.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m your brother. You should give your first time to your future husband. I’m not a traditional person but girls must know how to love themselves so that your future husband can love you more.”
Displaying the manner of an older brother, Ding Ning taught them a lesson in earnestness.
“Brother, is it okay if both of us marry you? We’re so beautiful. Will you be okay with us marrying someone else?” Ye Le asked in a partially genuine and partially teasing manner.
She coquettishly held Ding Ning’s arm.
Ye Huan also nodded her small head but immediately looked away when Ding Ning’s gaze fell on her.
“Don’t think about these all the time when you’re still so young. You’ll realize how true my words are after you meet someone you like.”
Ding Ning’s mood fluctuated. In fact, he wasn’t happy to see such beautiful sisters marry someone else. But since he called them his sisters, he would naturally not stop them from pursuing their happiness.
“Don’t be so old-fashioned. You’re just two years older than us but you speak like a man in his 70s or 80s.”
Ye Le wittily stuck her tongue out and teased him without holding back.
Ding Ning smiled. Then, he looked at Ji Jun who was walking toward them. “It’s getting late. I’ll send you home after biding Ji Jun farewell.”
“Oh!”
Two beautiful sisters responded lovably.
“Ji Jun, it’s getting late. I’m leaving with them first.”
“Don’t bother leaving. I own the hotel upstairs. I’ll get you a room with a large bed.”
Ji Jun winked and smiled at him.
“It’s alright. Ji Jun, our meeting today is also a kind of fate so I’ll save the nonsense. I like Huanhuan and Lele very much. They’re already my younger sisters. I know you spent a lot on them all this time. Give me a number and I’ll compensate you.”
Ding Ning spoke with absolute earnestness.
