Because I want you to notice me.

Hospital

The consultation room was so quiet it was almost oppressive, with only the ticking of the wall clock.

Guandu held his coat and sat beside him, watching him.

He loved his gaze and wished time could stand still.

Imperial Capital Jun Family

"Young Miss, Young Master Li is here again," a young maid said anxiously. "What should I do? The young master asked me to stop him, but I can't stop him every time."

"Knock knock"

"Ah Yue, I bought your favorite hairy crabs." Li Huangchen walked openly and happily to her room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Junyue said, her hands gripping the blanket tightly.

"How many times have I told you, you have to call me 'older sister'?"

“You look younger than me,” Li Huangchen leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed. “I can call you if you want to hear it.”

Are you feeling any better today?

"Yes, it's slowly getting better."

Li Huangchen crossed his legs, leaned forward slightly, and moved closer to Junyue, a nonchalant smile on his face. His warm breath brushed against her cheek. "Sister, don't you like me?"

Junyue couldn't take it anymore, her eyes reddening slightly. She knew he treated other girls the same way; he just wanted to have some fun.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Li Huangchen thought he had gone too far.

"Ah Yue, don't cry," Li Huangchen said helplessly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

She had actually liked him since she was little; he had always been clingy to her and loved to hug her, but then…

She rarely attended parties before, not just because of health reasons, but more because she didn't want to see him being intimate with other women; she couldn't face it honestly.

Junyue's eyes grew increasingly red, and a surge of bitter emotions welled up within her, spreading from her heart to her entire body. She had been suppressing her feelings for the past few days, trying not to sink any deeper into this.

Why is it that just when she's almost able to interact with him normally, he starts teasing her again?

Her suppressed sobs pierced his ears. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"I'm leaving, don't cry." Li Huangchen didn't expect her to be so resistant to him; he had hurt her.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter it.

next day

"Sister, you're finally back!" Qin Ji immediately stepped forward and hugged her. He looked at Long Yanli with a very sad expression.

Qin Ji was incredibly envious when Long Yi told him that they had gone to Yundu to see where his sister used to live and that they had told him what had happened in Yundu.

And that bastard Long Yanli, he actually made my sister confess to him. Can't a grown man be a little more proactive?

Lin Yiluo pulled Qin Ji to the table, saying, "These are gifts I brought back for you."

Qin Ji was pleased; his sister still cared about him.

He glanced at Long Yanli with a smug look on his face.

Long Yanli couldn't bear to look at him. What should he do with such a jealous brother-in-law?

"Oh, right, little sister, we'll hold your homecoming ceremony next Monday and then make up for the coming-of-age ceremony later."

"Okay," Lin Yiluo thought for a moment, "I'll invite some friends over."

"It's great, it'll be lively with lots of people." Qin Ji had been looking forward to this day for a long time, to announce to the world that the Qin family's young lady had returned.

"Your dress and jewelry have already been prepared."

The skirt is made of deep navy blue silk, a color reminiscent of the deepest darkness in the universe, concealing endless unknowns. The hem is embroidered with shimmering stars, outlined with extremely fine silver thread and sparkling rhinestones. Upon closer inspection, each star has a unique facet, twinkling like a real star.

Lin Yilu looked at the dress in front of her and realized that the person who offered 200 million to make the dress for her was her brother.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Qin Ji looked at her expectantly. This was designed by Sang Yuwan, the chief designer of Yu Nian, a world-renowned clothing design company.
