[Sheng Si's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 70.]

"Let me see." With that, Sheng Si reluctantly shifted his gaze from Qin Wan and looked toward the kitchen doorway.

"It seems like they've left..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was about to push him away when, unexpectedly, her hand was grabbed by his strong hand as soon as it touched his broad chest.

"etc……"

"It seems like they didn't leave..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's body instantly froze.

"It looks like she's about to come in..."

"Then, what should we do?" Qin Wan tried to suppress the helplessness in her eyes and asked calmly.

"I have a way."

"I just need your cooperation."

After speaking, Sheng Si stared intently into Qin Wan's eyes, as if seeking her consent.

Qin Wan tightened her grip on his shirt, took a deep breath, and said, "...Okay."

In that instant, Sheng Si clearly caught a fleeting glimpse of tension in her eyes.

She did not refuse, nor did she resist.

She probably has feelings for him too.

Thinking of this, Sheng Si's gaze towards Qin Wan softened even more.

[Sheng Si's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 72.]

The moment their warm lips touched, the soft touch made Sheng Si tighten his grip on Qin Wan's shoulder.

They could clearly see each other in each other's eyes.

I could clearly feel the other person's warm breath on my face, itchy and tingling...

[Sheng Si's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 77.]

"Have they left?" Qin Wan asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Si snapped out of his daze and looked toward the kitchen doorway.

"It seems like they've left..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a force came from his chest.

The next second, propelled by this force, he uncontrollably took two steps back.

Qin Wan also took two steps back, widening the distance between the two.

In that instant, they instinctively looked up at each other, their eyes meeting...

Qin Wan hurriedly dodged away, her blushing cheeks quite eye-catching.

"I...I'll go out first."

As she spoke, she picked up the tray of lemonade beside her and walked out of the kitchen.

Watching her almost fleeing figure, Sheng Si's eyebrows curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

[Sheng Si's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 79.]

In the living room.

Seeing Qin Wan walk out with a flushed face, Sheng Yue's eyes lit up, while Chu Yan lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

Qin's father, Meng Yan, snorted coldly in displeasure, while Qin's mother smiled and looked towards the kitchen behind Qin Wan.

"Sister-in-law... Qin Wan, where's my brother?"

The word "sister-in-law" almost slipped out, but fortunately Sheng Yue reacted quickly and corrected herself in time, thus avoiding any awkward situation.

“He’s making lemon chicken feet,” Qin Wan explained.

"Lemon?" Sheng Yue was taken aback.

Just then, Qin Wan picked up a glass of lemonade and handed it to her.

Looking at the lemon slices in the clear glass, Sheng Yue narrowed her eyes dangerously and glanced at Chu Yan beside her.

"Chu Yan, didn't you say you were out of lemons at home?"

Chu Yan's face stiffened.

Seeing the lemonade Qin Wan brought over, a fleeting thought flashed across Chu Yan's eyes.

"I... I really couldn't find it in the kitchen."

As she spoke, Chu Yan looked at Qin Wan expectantly, "Qin Wan, where did you find it? Was it in the refrigerator at home? Or did your aunt put the lemon somewhere else?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at Chu Yan with a half-smile, "Found it on the refrigerator door."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's face stiffened, and her expression turned quite unpleasant.

"Oh, I see..."

"I was probably careless just now."

As she spoke, Chu Yan looked at Sheng Yue and said, "Yueyue, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I can't even do such a small thing right."

It has to be said that Chu Yan is a woman who is truly flexible and adaptable.

Their ability to lie through their teeth is truly first-rate.

Sheng Yue scoffed, leaving Chu Yan no way out.

"You've already admitted you're blind, what else can I say?"

"Besides, half the people in this living room are on your side. No one cares what I think or what my attitude is."

As she spoke, Sheng Yue looked at her father with a meaningful gaze.

Mr. Sheng's face darkened, and he stared at Sheng Yue with displeasure.

"Sheng Yue, have you had enough?"

"It's one thing for you to act up at home normally, but with so many guests here today..."

Before Sheng's father could finish speaking, Qin Wan interrupted him.

"Uncle Sheng, have some water to soothe your throat."

As she spoke, Qin Wan handed Sheng's father a glass of lemonade.

Mr. Sheng was displeased that he was interrupted while speaking.

However, since the person in front of them was Qin Wan, the young lady of the JC Consortium, the Sheng family still needed her help.

Thinking of this, Mr. Sheng had no choice but to suppress his displeasure, accept the lemonade Qin Wan handed him, and politely express his gratitude.

Originally, Mr. Sheng only took a symbolic sip...

But after just this one bite, Mr. Sheng's expression changed drastically.

Sheng Yue sensed something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Qin Wan.

Qin Wan smiled and took her hand, asking gently and considerately, "Is it too sore?"

With just that one sentence, Sheng Yue instantly understood...

She stared wide-eyed at Qin Wan with an incredulous expression.

She's really bold!

He actually handed his dad a glass of such sour lemonade!!!

While shocked, Sheng Yue felt mostly happy, content, blissful, and sweet.

It turns out, there are still people who care about her.

He would care whether she was happy or whether she was being bullied.

This feeling... is wonderful.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yue's gaze towards her father changed, as if something had changed, as if some kind of obsession had disappeared.

Mr. Sheng tightened his grip on the cup, his dark eyes fixed on Qin Wan, a suppressed anger lurking in their depths.

"Uncle Sheng, what's wrong? Is the lemonade not good? Would you like me to get you a different one? Or maybe add some honey?" Qin Wan asked with concern.

Mr. Sheng put down the lemonade with a displeased expression, his tone slightly cold, "No need, I'm old, my tastes are different from yours, young people."

As he spoke, Sheng's father looked at Sheng Yue and said, "Yueyue, go and make me a pot of tea."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue frowned. "I want to stay with Qin Wan."

This was the first time Sheng Yue had disobeyed her father, except for the matter concerning Chu Yan.

In the past, Sheng Yue would hardly say anything to her father, Sheng's father, about anything that had nothing to do with Chu Yan.

Gifts for holidays and festivals, daily care and concern, preparing tea and health supplements—they attend to almost every little detail.

"Sheng Yue!" Being rejected in front of the Yan family and Qin Wan's parents, Sheng's father felt he had lost face and his expression was very unpleasant.

Sheng Yue ignored her father's anger and looked towards Chu Yan.

"Sister Chu Yan, my dad dotes on you the most, and he loves your tea the most..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's expression stiffened. She looked up helplessly at Sheng Yue, and then at Sheng's father, who was suppressing his anger.

"Uncle Sheng, don't be angry, I'll make you some right away."

As she spoke, Chu Yan hurriedly got up and headed to the kitchen...

The kitchen where Sheng Si was located...
