Lin Tingyue's face turned pale with jealousy.

These must have all been bought for her by her older brother. He dotes on her like a princess from a foreign land. When he looks at Lin Tingyue, his eyes are icy cold, but when he looks at Ye Wenyu, his eyes soften and his poker face softens into a smile.

Lin Tingyue thought bitterly, what kind of magic does Ye Wenyu possess that makes her elder brother so infatuated with her?! Ever since her elder brother inherited the power of the Lin family, she has been trying her best to curry favor with him, but after so many years of effort, she couldn't compete with just one smile from Ye Wenyu.

Ye Wenyu was unaware of Lin Tingyue's thoughts. When they reached the second floor, she began to feel nervous because she was about to meet Lin Tingfeng's younger brother, the second son of the Lin family.

When she met Lin Tingyue, she wasn't particularly nervous because they had met once before. Although it was only once, she already knew quite a bit about Lin Tingyue. She was a beautiful but simple-minded rich and beautiful woman, and she was also quite easygoing. She was very friendly to her when they first met. Lin Tingyue, whether she welcomed Ye Wenyu or not, did not pose any pressure or threat to her.

But Lin Tingxuan was different. She had never met him and didn't know what his attitude towards her was.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu's palms began to sweat slightly, her face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid. Her heart pounded wildly like a drum. Lin Tingfeng sensed this and turned slightly to whisper in her ear, "Don't be afraid." His expression was very gentle.

Ye Wenyu was stunned. Had he sensed her tension and fear? Lin Tingfeng remained in the same position, whispering to her, and slowly said to Ye Wenyu, "He's the one who should be afraid." He even gave her a playful smile, his nonchalant demeanor making Ye Wenyu feel much more at ease, and she returned his smile.

The two exchanged a smile, their expressions extremely intimate, which Lin Tingyue, who was following behind them, saw. She felt as if a sharp arrow had pierced her heart, making her shudder.

She had an extremely strong bad feeling that this poor girl, once she entered their Lin family, would probably stir up a storm of bloodshed!

Because she has such a great influence on her older brother, and he has been so good to her, based on her understanding of him, she knows the consequences of this situation could be terrible.

Lin Tingfeng led Ye Wenyu into the private room. A man in white looked up. He had been playing on his phone, but when he heard footsteps, he looked up. However, there was no smile on his handsome face, and his eyes were cold.

Is this Lin Tingxuan?

Lin Tingfeng's younger brother.

She looked at Lin Tingxuan, who, in turn, scrutinized her with an aloof expression. Ye Wenyu noticed that he was very handsome; the two brothers had remarkably similar features, but their physiques and demeanors were completely different. Perhaps everyone in the Lin family was good-looking, but Lin Tingxuan was the most outstanding among them.

He and Lin Tingfeng possessed completely different kinds of beauty. Lin Tingfeng was tall and strong, with bulging muscles and cold eyes, like a terrifying beast. Lin Tingxuan, on the other hand, was refined and elegant. Although he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, he was very thin and looked somewhat frail. He was more handsome than a woman. He had a pale face, delicate features, and a pair of large, melancholic eyes that sparkled. When he looked at someone, you would feel as if your soul had left your body under his gaze. In addition, he had an artistic and otherworldly temperament, which made him stand out from the crowd.

In short, Lin Tingxuan was very handsome, and people like beautiful people and things. Therefore, Ye Wenyu took the initiative to smile at Lin Tingxuan, but Lin Tingxuan seemed not to see it. He coldly lowered his head again and continued to play with his phone.

Ye Wenyu was disappointed to find that her enthusiasm and politeness went unanswered, so she wisely withdrew her smile and pretended to lower her head casually.

Lin Tingxuan was surprisingly aloof, which seemed strange in contrast to Lin Tingyue's fiery enthusiasm.

Lin Tingfeng seemed to see all of this, and his cold voice rang out above Ye Wenyu's head, his tone commanding: "You don't even greet your elder brother?" His voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely authoritative, as if it were as heavy as metal.

Lin Tingxuan was still playing on his phone, seemingly deaf and not hearing anything. Lin Tingfeng led Ye Wenyu to sit down at the dining table. His face had darkened, and Ye Wenyu sat to the side, watching with trepidation.

The air seemed to freeze, and Ye Wenyu felt short of breath, while the others seemed to have long been used to this kind of interaction and remained at ease.

Lin Tingyue saw all of this and sat down next to Lin Tingxuan. Perhaps she subtly reminded Lin Tingxuan under the table. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tingxuan finally raised his head and called out without any emotion, "Big Brother—" without a trace of a smile on his face.

Lin Tingfeng had just stopped when the waiter started serving the dishes. Lin Tingfeng then took the serving chopsticks and kept putting food on Ye Wenyu's plate. Wenyu, sitting beside him, saw that the bowls were piled high with various dishes, like small mountains, and immediately whispered, "That's enough, that's enough." But Lin Tingfeng seemed not to hear her and continued to put food on her plate. When one bowl was full, he would take his own bowl and continue to put food on her plate.

Ye Wenyu felt extremely embarrassed.

She thought to herself that the three Lin siblings seemed very strange. They didn't seem like relatives, but rather like enemies. The air was filled with the smell of hatred, making her inexplicably nervous.

The atmosphere in the private room was tense, as if a fire could break out at any moment.

After an unknown period of silence, Lin Tingyue mustered her courage and broke the silence. She took out a small rectangular brocade box, walked to Ye Wenyu's side, handed it to her, and said respectfully, "Wenyu, I heard from my older brother that he is bringing his girlfriend over to meet us, so I prepared a gift. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Ye Wenyu was stunned; she hadn't expected Lin Tingyue to give her a gift.

She looked at the gift box; it was from PRADA, a top-tier brand. Sigh, the Lin family buys luxury goods like they buy cabbage. Lin Tingfeng always gave her luxury goods, and now Lin Tingyue is giving her luxury goods again. They probably think that if it's not a top-tier brand, it's not presentable.

But she didn't want to accept it. She felt she hadn't done anything to deserve such a gift, and besides, she was a lover operating in the shadows. If she accepted the gift, what would others think of her?

Therefore, she shook her head.

Lin Tingyue's smile vanished, and she looked anxiously at her elder brother.

Lin Tingfeng said slowly, "You can accept it."

Ye Wenyu was stunned, but had no choice but to listen to Lin Tingfeng and accept the generous gift. She opened the brocade box and found a ruby ​​necklace inside, which was very beautiful. She smiled and said, "Tingyue, thank you, I like it very much." To make her happy, she put it on her own neck in front of her.
