As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Yi felt the hands covering his eyes suddenly loosen, and his vision instantly brightened.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure appeared in front of Dongfang Yi and sat down directly in front of him.

Dongfang Yi looked at the woman in front of him and smiled with a face full of doting affection.

Before he could speak, the woman looked up at Dongfang Yi, pouted, and complained.

"It's no fun at all, my brother always manages to guess it's me."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi's previously depressed mood immediately improved, and he chuckled, asking with amusement.

"Besides you, you little rascal, who else would dare to treat me like this?"

Dongfang Yi was telling the truth.

In the entire family, apart from his younger sister who lived with him in the most expensive house, he had never doted on anyone like this.

He only has one younger sister, so who else should he spoil if not her?

Suddenly, Dongfang Yi thought of Jian Yixue.

Now, she has another younger sister to dote on her.

He feels happy just thinking about it.

Although the Dongfang family has existed for nearly a thousand years, its core family members have always adhered to the practice of one man and one woman in marriage, and their children are all born and raised with eugenics. They do not believe in the saying that many children bring many blessings.

Every child born, regardless of gender, receives excellent treatment and education.

Moreover, girls are far more popular than boys.

To put it simply, starting with his grandfather, his aunt was always the more favored one.

In his generation, his younger sister was the darling of the whole family.

The woman rolled her eyes at Dongfang Yi. "You only have me as your sister. If you're not good to me, who are you going to be good to?"

Dongfang Yi was amused by the woman's words.

However, he didn't refute it, saying, "Yes, yes, that's what happens when I'm your brother."

"You were doing just fine in Country Z, why did you suddenly come back?"

"Did you go see Grandpa?"

Upon hearing this, the woman looked helplessly at Dongfang Yi, who was muttering to himself, and said, "You came back because you missed me."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi knew that the woman was not telling the truth, but he did not expose her.

Now, my younger sister is an adult.

He respected her thoughts and secrets, as long as her safety was not an issue.

"Yan'er, did you encounter anything fun or meet anyone on your trip?" Dongfang Yi asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyan immediately became displeased.

"Brother, what are you saying? What do you mean by fun things and people? I'm going out to travel and broaden my horizons, not to play."

That's right, Dongfang Yi's younger sister is Dongfang Qingyan.

Upon hearing his younger sister's earnest words, Dongfang Yi said, "Fine, let's travel around. It was my inappropriate choice of words."

"That's more like it."

Dongfang Qingyan raised her head, displaying a confident posture.

"On this trip, I met one... uh... no, a group of good friends. Especially Sister Xue, she..." Dongfang Qingyan spoke eloquently.

When it comes to her interactions with Jian Yixue and others, she seems to have endless things to say.

Dongfang Yi didn't think much of it, after all, he never imagined that in such a big world, the connection between his Dongfang family and Jian Yixue would be so deep.

You can easily make friends with anyone and they'll become family.

No one would believe it if I told them.

Looking at his sister, who was beaming with joy, Dongfang Yi knew that she had gained a lot and was very happy on this trip.

Dongfang Qingyan spoke for a long time, and Dongfang Yi listened attentively the whole time, nodding and agreeing with her words from time to time.

...

"If things are so good, why did you suddenly come back?"

This is what Dongfang Yi is most curious about.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyan frowned slightly. "Sister Xue has something to do in Lancheng, so I came back with her."

Dongfang Yi nodded.

This explains why her younger sister, who loves to travel, suddenly had a change of heart and came back.

"Find some time to visit your grandparents; they miss you very much."

Dongfang Qingyan nodded in agreement.

"Understood, old man."

"I said playfully."

She came back intending to visit her grandfather, and she came to the Lake Pavilion because she thought it was where her grandfather usually liked to spend his time, so she came to try her luck.

Who would have thought that instead of meeting Grandpa, they would encounter Dongfang Yi.

"I came here to see Grandpa. It's strange, isn't Grandpa's favorite place? Why isn't he here today? Instead, it's you here, brother."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi recalled his grandfather's lonely, hunched back as he left, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. His expression suddenly turned indifferent.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

On one side was her grandfather, and on the other was her cousin whom she had just met.

Grandpa had been looking forward to this day for over twenty years.

I don't know how he's managed to get through all these years.

Meanwhile...

Suddenly, Dongfang Yi looked up at Dongfang Qingyan and asked, "Qingyan, let me ask you a question. Tell me, what would you do if you were in that situation?"

At this moment, Dongfang Yicai didn't care whether Dongfang Qingyan's answer was arrogant or not.

Perhaps, deep down, he wanted to get the answer he wanted from Dongfang Qingyan.

Dongfang Qingyan looked at Dongfang Yi, who had a serious and earnest expression, and was very puzzled, but she did not ask why.

"you say?"

Dongfang Qingyan didn't dwell on why her usually very rational brother would suddenly come to listen to her answer.

This is unprecedented.

At the same time, Dongfang Qingyan became increasingly curious.

What kind of problem could possibly perplex my brother, who is usually so organized?

After listening, Dongfang Yi said, "If you meet someone related to your aunt and learn about her, but her fate is unknown."

And that person refuses to return to the Dongfang family. What would you do?

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyan was immediately very excited.

"Brother, have you found Auntie?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Dongfang Yi's face, and he shook his head.

"No."

"You're lying! I'm your sister, we grew up together. Others may not know you, but I do."

You're not telling the truth, tell me quickly, bro~~~

Dongfang Qingyan tugged at Dongfang Yi's arm and said coquettishly.

It seemed she wouldn't let Dongfang Yi off the hook until he spoke up.

Looking at his intelligent younger sister, Dongfang Yi suddenly regretted his impulsive actions.

Ever since he met Jian Yixue, his IQ has never been online.

How could he forget!

His younger sister is very quick-witted.

He's actually smarter than him, but he never likes to use his intelligence for good.

In an instant, he fell into a trap.

"Tell me~~~ Tell me~~~ Brother~~~ I also want to know about Auntie."

Dongfang Yi, worn down by Dongfang Qingyan's persistent nagging, thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret, especially from your grandparents. It will only cause them more trouble if they find out. We'll tell you later when she agrees."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyan, though unsure why her brother would say such a thing, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, I promise I won't tell."
