At this moment, Shangguan Xue coaxed gently, "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that I'm worried there will be too many people tomorrow and you'll be recognized."

With her back to the door, she didn't notice Shangguan Wu coming in.

Were you recognized?

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow in surprise. Her first thought was that this person was from the entertainment industry and quite famous.

"The water's boiling, I'm going to cook noodles."

"Bye-Bye."

Shangguan Xue hung up the phone and grabbed a handful of noodles, putting them into the boiling water.

After Shangguan Wu waited for her to put down her phone, she smiled and went up to hug her: "Big sister~"

Shangguan Xue was startled, turned her head and saw her younger sister, then smiled: "Wu Bao, you're here!"

"Does Big Sister have a boyfriend?" Shangguan Wu's eyes gleamed with gossip.

Shangguan Xue dropped her chopsticks into the pot.

After pausing for two seconds, I quickly used a spatula to scoop the chopsticks out.

Shangguan Wu's smile deepened: "Don't be nervous, I'm very tight-lipped."

Shangguan Xue denied it: "No."

Shangguan Wu chuckled: "I don't believe it."

Shangguan Xue blushed instantly: "...How could you do this!"

"Then tell me who you were talking to on the phone just now?" Shangguan Wu hoped that her older sister would tell her herself so that she wouldn't have to investigate privately.

Actually, she didn't want to pry into her older sister's love life, but her older sister was too naive, and she was worried that she would be deceived by a man.

Shangguan Wu used her ultimate move, sweetly pleading, "Big sister, please tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone, okay?"

Shangguan Xue's face was flushed, as if the steam from the pot was hitting her face, making her feel hot.

Are you really not going to tell anyone?

"I won't tell anyone!"

Shangguan Wu raised his hand as if to swear an oath.

Shangguan Xue pursed her lips and whispered a name: "Jiang Shuo".

It was him?!

Shangguan Wu was shocked!

Shangguan Xue tried to cover up her misunderstanding by saying, "I have nothing to do with him. He's just a kid."

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched. A child who's older than me?

She asked curiously, "Has he been in contact with your older sister all this time?"

"No. He approached me and offered to be my model when I participated in a fashion design competition." Actually, another person also offered to model for her for free, but she refused.

Shangguan Xue didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

If the other party asks her to help them get resources from Wubao, she doesn't know how to refuse.

Shangguan Wu asked in surprise, "A fashion design competition? When was that? I've never heard you mention it before?"

Shangguan Xue said nonchalantly, "It's just a small competition, it's not important."

"But it's very important that you participated!"

Shangguan Wuyu asked apologetically, then suddenly nuzzled her older sister, "Did you win the championship, big sister?"

Shangguan Xue replied regretfully, "I only got third place. But I will continue to work hard."

"Yes, I believe my eldest sister will become more and more amazing!"

Shangguan Wu spoke with great conviction, then, with a moment of curiosity, asked, "Big sister, it seems you have a pretty good impression of him?"

Shangguan Wu had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he was worried that it would touch a nerve and make her avoid men from then on. Therefore, he did not stop her from associating with any men, including Jiang Shuo.

Jiang Shuo has nothing to criticize, otherwise he wouldn't have so many fans.

The Jiang family's bamboo shoots are indeed of poor quality.

When Jiang Shuo was mentioned, Shangguan Xue smiled slightly: "I met him when I was a child."

Shangguan Wu let out a soft "Eh."

There's definitely a story behind this!

Shangguan Wu pressed further: "And then?"

At this moment, Shangguan Xue scooped the noodles out and put them in a bowl, sprinkled them with chopped green onions, and it looked very delicious.

"The noodles are ready. I'll take them to my grandparents first. They didn't eat anything on the plane, and neither did my parents."

Shangguan Xue lowered her head to avoid her gaze and said softly, "Wu Bao, go and call Mom and Dad downstairs."

Shangguan Wu understood, but her elder sister didn't want to say anything.

"Okay, I'll go and call Mom and Dad downstairs right now."

She gave her older sister a deep look, then turned and left the kitchen.

Anyway, Jiang Shuo will be coming tomorrow, so she can just ask him what he thinks.

He couldn't possibly have some kind of sister complex.

Besides noodles, Shangguan Lin had his bodyguard buy food from the restaurant.

The family sat in the dining room eating.

Shangguan Wu ate a little with her family, glanced at the time, and then wanted to go back and put her son to sleep.

She stood up and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, we'll head back now. You should get some rest."

Gu Yunzhen stopped her: "I'm not going back tonight."

Shangguan Wu was stunned: "Not going back? Are you going to sleep here?"

Shangguan Lin deliberately interjected sarcastically, "I've finally come all this way to the capital, don't you want to live with Dad?"

Shangguan Wu quickly explained, "No. Dad, Tianyou is still waiting at home, and I'm worried about him."

She was worried that Tianyou would wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Lin waved his hand and said, "Just have Yunzhen go and bring Tianyou over."

Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Gu Yunzhen agreed, uttering a single word: "Okay."

Then he got up, released Shangguan Wu's hand, and left alone.

Shangguan Wu stood there blankly.

Shangguan Lin looked at her and said, "What are you standing there for? Keep eating."

Shangguan Wu snapped out of her daze and shook her head in refusal: "I can't eat anymore."

Shangguan Lin looked at his little girl suspiciously: "I remember you have a big appetite, don't you? Is this not to your liking? How about I buy some barbecue and we can continue eating?"

Shangguan Wu: "..."

You have a huge appetite, you're a big eater!

Qin Xiaoxian patted her husband: "Eat less tonight, or your stomach will be bloated and uncomfortable."

Shangguan Lin had been beaten by his wife more than once or twice; he was used to it.
