After all…
Eldest Brother’s temper was very unpredictable to begin with.
After Qin Yu and Qin Lang said goodbye to Pei Yunge, they left reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Pei Yunge leaned against the wall casually and knocked on the wall she was leaning against in boredom.
“You’re still here?”
Lu Yuansi was a little surprised.
“My brother is having a private talk inside.”
Pei Yunge glanced at him. “Why aren’t your parents here?”
“My parents are overseas. The old lady has something on today, so she didn’t come over.”
Hearing this, Pei Yunge nodded. “Then you should go back early.”
“That person inside is not your biological brother, right?” Lu Yuansi suddenly asked.
Pei Yunge didn’t plan to hide it. “Mm.”
Lu Yuansi’s eyes darkened as if he was thinking of something. “Okay, then go back early. I’ll get going first.”
“Okay, bye.” Pei Yunge waved.
…
Huo Shidu went in for about half an hour before the door opened.
The moment Pei Yunge saw Huo Shidu walk out, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you out for a meal. Aunt Miao isn’t around today. Let’s go to the restaurant,” Huo Shidu said.
“Alright.”
Pei Yunge followed Huo Shidu all the way until she got into the car and put on her seatbelt.
She asked calmly, “Brother, why aren’t you saying anything?”
The man said slowly, “It’s Older Brother’s first time being scolded in school and I haven’t thought of what to say.”
“…”
Through the rearview mirror, Huo Shidu saw Pei Yunge’s expression and his thin red lips curled up. “Teacher Wen said that Yunyun is very smart, but she doesn’t like to study.”
“Yunyun, tell Older Brother, why don’t you want to study? Is it because of the Qin family?”
Pei Yunge replied, “No.”
“Then is it because of Older Brother?”
Pei Yunge answered even faster, “No.”
Hearing this, Huo Shidu chuckled softly and glanced at the girl beside him. His voice trailed off. “Then do you have to make Older Brother unhappy?”
Pei Yunge was speechless.
Seeing the little girl fall silent, Huo Shidu suddenly said casually, “Yunyun.”
“Hm?”
Pei Yunge looked up at him.
Huo Shidu said, “Open the drawer in front of you.”
Without hesitation, Pei Yunge turned around and opened the drawer, only to find that there were a lot of candies inside.
“It’s alright if you don’t do well. Older Brother will teach you properly.”
Pei Yunge glanced sideways and saw the man’s outstanding jawline and handsome and dignified eyes.
His magnetic and lazy chuckle tickled one’s eardrums. “Older Brother was teasing you just now. How can I bully our Yunyun like this?”
Pei Yunge’s heart skipped a beat.
She took a candy and peeled it with her eyes lowered. “Does Older Brother want some?”
“I prepared it for you. Older Brother doesn’t eat anything too sweet.”
…
At night.
In the Qin family old manor.
Six people were seated at the round table.
“Lu Yan, you’re finally back. Mom hasn’t seen you in a long time. Did you lose weight?”
Mrs Qin was very happy tonight.
The people she wanted to see were all here, and the person she didn’t want to see was not here.
“No.”
Qin Luyan’s tone was calm as he said, “Mom, I’ve prepared a few boxes of pearls and diamonds for you. Didn’t you want the designer to design them for you last time?”
“Did you hear that? Lu Yan is much more filial than the two of you.”
Mrs Qin was thrilled.
“Second Brother, Third Brother, and Dad, I’ve prepared gifts for all of you too. My assistant will bring them over later.” Qin Luyan slowly cut his steak and took a sip of red wine.
“Brother, what about mine?”
Qin Youjiao said coyly, thinking that Qin Luyan wanted to give her a surprise.
