"Sister, sister, I just feel that brother hasn't been very happy lately, hehehe..." To make his foolish state more captivating, Lou Wuyou grabbed a sesame seed cake and took a big bite, getting food all over his face.
Yuan Jiang wiped the dandruff off Sha Chun's face with a silk handkerchief: "Sha Chun, why don't you go ask your brother what's bothering him, okay?"
Lou Wuyou was stunned. His breath seemed to stop for a moment, and the color drained from his face, turning it deathly pale.
In that instant, Lou Wuyou saw naked mockery and coldness in Yuan Jiang's eyes. She swallowed nervously. Did her sister-in-law know that she was her brother's biological sister? Did she know that she was pretending to be stupid?
But she quickly dismissed the idea.
My sister-in-law couldn't possibly know! She's such a good actress! She must be overthinking it!
Although she didn't know why her brother wanted her to pretend to be stupid, he must have had his reasons for doing so. She would never have revealed it before her brother told her!
Lou Wuzuo pretended to be dazed, then hesitated and pouted, "Huh?... But what if he ignores Sha Chun?"
Yuan Jiang slowly curled the corners of her lips: "Then you can just pester him to recite a few more lines."
Looking at Yuan Jiang so close to her, Lou Wuyou's heart skipped a beat again. She carefully observed Yuan Jiang's expression, which was so flawless and natural, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.
It seems she was overthinking it.
"So, sister, have you been unhappy lately? Tell Shachun, and Shachun will help you!"
Yuan Jiang tilted her head and parted her rosy lips slightly: "No, I'm overjoyed."
Lou Wuyou swallowed hard, mumbled a few more nonsensical words, and then quickly left this place of trouble.
Watching Sha Chun hurriedly leave, Yuan Jiang clicked her tongue indifferently, her gaze fixed on herself in the bronze mirror. Suddenly, half of her face turned into a fox's face!
She gently stroked half of her fox-like face with her small hand, her eyes revealing a kind of crazy stubbornness, and murmured softly, "I don't care what you really think."
"Lou Ji, you can only belong to me."

The following day, at Shen time (3-5 PM).
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle. Lou Ji held the teacup with his well-defined fingers, his gaze fixed intently on Yuan Jiang, who was tending to the flowers and plants.
In the past few days, he had clearly felt that Yuan Jiang's attitude towards him was somewhat cold. Since the anniversary of his parents' death, he had been trapped in the pain and darkness, tirelessly going out to catch demons, which was why he had neglected Yuan Jiang.
Unexpectedly, this vengeful little fox ignored him completely.
Lou Ji's lips curled into a helpless yet doting smile. He turned the teacup upside down on the table, strode over, grabbed Yuan Jiang's soft waist, and forcefully pulled her into his arms. He lowered his eyes and said, "Jiang Jiang, today the Demon-Catching Hall is going to publicly deal with a powerful demon. Let's go out and take a look?"
Yuan Jiang was taken aback at first, then laughed in anger. She stared directly at Lou Ji, feeling a chill in her heart. He clearly knew she was a demon, yet he still asked her if she wanted to go see the demon hunter deal with the demon!
Is this meant to warn her?!
She gave Lou Ji a forced smile and said, "Okay."
