"Wanwan has access to only a handful of boys..."

"Brother, think about it..."

Pei Muzhi seemed oblivious to the panicked and helpless look on Qin Wan's face, and pretended to be deep in thought.

"Lu Yao, the movie star?"

"Wanwan seems to be having a lot of fun acting with him these past few days..."

"Big brother, I don't like Actor Lu," Qin Wan explained.

"Yes, Big Brother believes in Wanwan."

Pei Muzhi responded with a smile, almost making people think that he really believed it and was going to skip over Lu Yao.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed the subject, "That means Actor Lu likes Wanwan."

Qin Wan: "..." You really are a dog.

"Brother, I'm not a Renminbi, I'm not lovable by everyone."

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi's lips curled slightly, his burning gaze fixed on Qin Wan.

"Did Actor Lu really not contact Wanwan privately?"

Qin Wan shook her head. "No."

"I've only acted with Actor Lu twice on set," Qin Wan sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Pei Muzhi's eyes.

"Since it's not Movie Emperor Lu..."

"That's...Jianghuai?"

...

...

...

As soon as Pei Muzhi said this, an eerie silence fell over the large ward.

Qin Wan froze for a moment, then blinked her big, bewildered eyes at Pei Muzhi.

"Big brother?"

Why do you think that I am with San'er?

"He's just my younger brother..." Qin Wan subconsciously defended herself.

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, and said with a veiled meaning, "Just my younger brother?"

"certainly."

"Otherwise, what did you think it was, brother?"

“I’ve known Xiao San since I was a child. Although we are not related by blood, he is like a younger brother to me.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi nodded as if he understood, "I see."

"What about the eldest brother?"

"Wh-what?"

Pei Muzhi's sudden question stunned Qin Wan.

Pei Muzhi, one of the parties involved, remained calm and composed, his thin lips curving into a gentle and doting smile.

"The mistress is just a younger brother."

"Then... what about my older brother?"

Pei Muzhi repeated it again.

Qin Wan: "!!!"

In that instant, Qin Wan subconsciously held her breath, staring intently at Pei Muzhi, not daring to breathe or make the slightest sound.

Seeing this, Pei Muzhi's smile deepened.

Hmm.

Such a strong reaction?

It's probably more than just a biological brother...

Thinking of this, Pei Muzhi felt very happy.

He continued to play with Qin Wan's hand, feeling the stiffness of her small hand and the dampness in her palm.

"So nervous?"

"Could it be that in Wanwan's heart, her eldest brother is not as good as the mistress?" Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow and asked deliberately.

"Of course not," Qin Wan retorted.

"Um?"

Pei Muzhi's voice was husky, with a rising tone at the end, which was very alluring.

His gaze was fixed intently on Qin Wan, as if he were afraid of missing even the slightest emotion on her face and in her eyes.

"I……"

Qin Wan opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to explain something, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Seeing this, Pei Muzhi's smile deepened.

Hmm.

So cute.

Are you that nervous?

Um……

Let him guess when the little girl started having impure thoughts about him.

It probably didn't happen in the last few days...

The little girl could sense it herself, so she must have been thinking about him for a long time.

Thinking of this, Pei Muzhi's eyebrows curved into a smile, his expression revealing undisguised joy.

That's great.

It wasn't just him having a one-sided crush.

It wasn't just her unrequited love.

The two-way travel and such seems pretty good.

Thinking of this, Pei Muzhi's aura softened at a visible speed.

"Hmm? Why did Wanwan stop talking?" Pei Muzhi squeezed her palm to remind her.

"Big brother...Big brother and mistress are different."

Under Pei Muzhi's burning gaze, Qin Wan bit her lower lip lightly, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Um?"

"no the same?"

"How are they different?"

"Wanwan, would you like to explain it to everyone in detail?"

"I..." Qin Wan choked up.

"Wanwan doesn't want to?" Pei Muzhi asked Qin Wan, feigning disappointment and sadness.

Qin Wan opened her mouth, a hint of struggle appearing in her eyes.

"Big brother loves Wanwan the most..."

"Since Wanwan is unwilling, her older brother will naturally not force her and make her sad..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Pei Muzhi suddenly released her hand and stood up as if to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Wan subconsciously and instinctively grabbed his hand.

"Big brother, where are you going?"

"My brother is a little sad and wants to be alone for a while."

"Be good, your big brother won't leave you alone in the ward."

“I’ll call Jiang Huai and ask him to come over and keep you company. After all, San’er is Wanwan’s biological younger brother, even though they’re not related by blood.”

"With Jiang Huai by her side, Wanwan will definitely feel at ease."

“Unlike my eldest brother…and not like my third brother…” Pei Muzhi said, lowering his eyes and pretending to be lost in thought.

Sensing that Pei Muzhi was trying to break free from her grasp, Qin Wan instinctively tightened her grip and refused to let go.

"Brother, no, I didn't, you've misunderstood."

"Big brother, let me explain..."

No sooner had Qin Wan finished speaking than Pei Muzhi... actually decided not to leave.

His departing figure actually paused, his burning gaze fixed on her, as if anticipating what she was about to say.

Qin Wan: "..." This man is a real jerk.

"Big brother..." Qin Wan called out hesitantly.

"Um?"

"Big brother's here, what does Wanwan want to say?"

Qin Wan: "I..."

Their eyes met, and seeing the tenderness in Pei Muzhi's eyes, Qin Wan took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak.

"Brother, can you lower your head?"

Pei Muzhi was taken aback at first, but after regaining his senses, he chuckled and bent down to get closer to her.

"Um?"

"What does Wanwan want to say?"

"It's so hard to say..."

The sudden warm, moist touch on his face made Pei Muzhi freeze.

He blinked, his face blank.

she……

The little girl was just...

relative……

Did you kiss him?

"Big brother?"

Seeing that Pei Muzhi had not responded for a long time, Qin Wan looked at him anxiously, her face full of tension.

After a brief moment of distraction, Pei Muzhi snapped back to reality and looked at Qin Wan with burning eyes.

Their eyes met...

Seeing the unease and fear in Qin Wan's eyes, Pei Muzhi chuckled and reached out to rub her head.

"Silly girl."

Not angry.

She wasn't scolded.

he……

My older brother probably likes her too, right?

Qin Wan thought uneasily...

What is Wanwan thinking about?

Seeing Qin Wan's distraught appearance, Pei Muzhi asked with a light laugh.

"I was thinking about my older brother," Qin Wan replied instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi could no longer contain himself and chuckled softly.

"Cough cough..."

Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 1, current favorability is 99.

Hmm.

If it's mutual affection, then everything will be easy.

She could take this opportunity to reclaim her status as the eldest daughter of the Sheng family...

We need to transfer her household registration out first, so it will be easier to transfer it back later after registration...
