"Um..." Jiang Li glanced at her third senior brother's expression, afraid that the two of them would start arguing, and quickly said, "It's getting late, third senior brother, you must be tired. Why don't you go back and wash up first, and get a good night's sleep?"

Gong Yu gave Jiang Li a cold look. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"No, of course not." Jiang Li immediately shook her head guiltily, but her tone was extremely firm. "How could I possibly want to send you away? I'm just really worried that you won't get enough rest and it will affect your condition tomorrow. My third senior brother is so handsome, he absolutely can't be in a bad state, don't you think?"

"Heh!" Gong Yu snorted coldly, then his gaze fell on Lu Shiyan beside him. "I'm leaving now, aren't you leaving?"

If his junior sister wants to send him away, then he absolutely cannot let that bastard Lu Shiyan stay here any longer!

Should we create some time for the two of them?

It's impossible, isn't it?

“Of course we have to go,” Lu Shiyan said immediately. “But I’ll tidy up the table and dishes first, and then we’ll leave.”

Then……

Gong Yu watched coldly as Lu Shiyan packed his things.

Although it felt awkward, seeing his junior sister's nonchalant expression, he knew that this was the norm for the two of them.

I have to say...

It's quite rare for someone of Lu Shiyan's status to not only cook for Jiang Li personally but also clean up the mess afterward.

Can……

He won't just accept this brother-in-law so easily!

after all……

His junior sister is their precious treasure; she's not someone any man can easily seduce!

Even if that person is Lu Shiyan, it won't work!

Besides...

His junior sister is still young, so all those scoundrels can go away!

"Brother Yu..." Lu Shiyan called out to Gong Yu after he finished packing, "We can go now."

Gong Yu had assumed that Lu Shiyan would find an excuse to stay, but he hadn't expected...

He actually took the initiative to suggest leaving.

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Okay." Gong Yu felt a little better and nodded to Lu Shiyan. "Let's go then."

After saying that, Gong Yu said to Jiang Li, "Junior Sister, you should rest well. We can talk about it tomorrow."

“Okay, Third Senior Brother,” Jiang Li replied obediently.

Lu Shiyan and Gong Yu walked out of the house together.

After the door was closed, Gong Yu said calmly, "You are not allowed to talk to Jiang Li about what happened before."

Lu Shiyan looked puzzled. "Why can't I say? It's not like it's anything shameful."

Gong Yu's gaze turned even colder. "I said you can't say it, and that means you can't say it."

The things that happened in the past were indeed not just the two of them. The guilt they felt back then seems ridiculous now.

but……

Things he didn't care about before, he now cares about.

If his junior sister knew that he was often inferior to Lu Shiyan back then...

Does that mean I'm going to lose my authority as the senior brother?

Moreover, she might even think that Lu Shiyan is better than him, and thus value that scoundrel Lu Shiyan even more.

no……

Absolutely not.

“Okay.” Lu Shiyan seemed to see through Gong Yu’s thoughts. He nodded. “As long as Jiang Jiang doesn’t ask, I will definitely not tell her. But if she does ask, I will definitely not deliberately hide it.”

Gong Yu: "..."

That bastard is deliberately trying to provoke him, isn't he?

never mind……

Let's not think about these things for now.

As long as he tries his best to prevent the two of them from meeting, or to keep them from being alone together, over time...

Jiang Li will probably forget about this.

Um……

Anyway, he lives downstairs now; he had been living here before he left.

Changing Jiang Li's attention is quite easy.

"You go in first." Gong Yu said to Lu Shiyan as they were about to enter the elevator.

"Hmm?" Lu Shiyan looked at Gong Yu with a strange expression. "Brother Yu, aren't you coming in?"

"I'll watch you go down first," Gong Yu replied, then walked over and specially pressed the elevator number for Lu Shiyan.

After pressing the button, he quickly exited.

Lu Shiyan: "???"

Before Lu Shiyan could react, the elevator doors had already closed.

There are relatively few people here.

Without encountering anyone else along the way, Lu Shiyan descended to the bottom floor in one go.

Then Gong Yu pressed the elevator button.

When the elevator came up, he deliberately lingered for a while before taking it down.

He firmly believed that after he pulled this stunt, Lu Shiyan would definitely not turn around and come back.

Even if he wanted to come up, he would probably give up the idea after waiting for such a long time without an elevator.

Of course, he can easily climb the stairs; as long as he's not afraid of getting tired, he can come.

Lu Shiyan was unaware of Gong Yu's inner thoughts. He went to the garage without any ulterior motives and then drove away.

If he knew what Gong Yu was thinking, he would definitely do everything he could to go back.

after all……

A battle of wits and courage...

He still likes it quite a bit.

Jiang Li was unaware of her senior brother's ulterior motives. After the two left, she washed up, picked up her phone, and lay down.

I glanced at the time...

This whole ordeal...

It's already midnight.

Staring blankly at her phone, Jiang Li finally sent a text message when she felt it was almost time.

The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: Ah Yan, are you home yet?

Lu Shiyan did not reply immediately.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Li received a reply from Lu Shiyan.

Y: I'm home. I just took a shower and didn't see your message in time.

The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen: It's good that you're home. You've had enough of a day. Go to sleep now.

Y: Jiang Jiang, why aren't you asleep yet? Did you wait for me to get home and then message me?

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Li blushed.

She immediately retorted as if she had been flinched.

The beloved little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect: What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't! I just happened to lie down, and when I saw it was almost time, I sent you a message to ask. I didn't wait for you on purpose!

Y: Okay, Jiang Jiang didn't, that's what I hoped for.

After saying that, Jiang Li received a video call invitation from Lu Shiyan.

Although Jiang Li had many questions, she still clicked "agree".

Jiang Li noticed Lu Shiyan's still slightly damp, tousled hair.

Jiang Li frowned, "It's so late, and you haven't even dried your hair. Be careful you don't have a headache tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, I'll just wipe it dry with a towel." Lu Shiyan said, and actually went to get a towel. As he dried his hair, he said to Jiang Li, "See?"

"What did you see?" Jiang Li didn't understand.

"Did you see me appear before you unharmed?" Lu Shiyan completed the sentence.

"Alright, alright..." Jiang Li snorted, "I know you're alive now that you've replied to my message. You don't need to video call me. I'm going to sleep now, bye!"

After saying that, Jiang Li hung up the video call.

Lu Shiyan stared at his phone, a helpless smile on his face.

My own ginger...

His contradictory manner is really quite adorable.

It makes you want to jump over the screen and bully them mercilessly.
