Although her tall and slender figure was not as tall and robust as Chu Yichen's, her straight waist and solemn face still exuded an aura that could not be underestimated.
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Chu Yichen across from him was also staring intently at him with his wine glass in hand.
Just when everyone thought he was about to say something, he moved closer to Chu Liyue and, to everyone's astonishment, sat directly on Chu Liyue's lap.
He hooked his arms around Chu Liyue's slender swan neck, buried his head in her neck, and then a hoarse, soft voice, seemingly tinged with grievance, came out:
"Sister, am I really that useless? You even have to take a drink for me?"
The expressions on everyone's faces at this moment were hard to describe.
Chu Yuntian: Ahem! Why do young people these days like such strange positions?
Bai Jingxuan: Ahhh! What am I seeing? It feels like a domineering CEO and his delicate little wife!
The rest of the people: ...
Chu Nanfeng's mouth opened involuntarily, wide enough to fit a goose egg.
What the hell did I think you were up to? You were so intimidating!
Grass!
This kid looks harmless, but he's actually a bit... cunning and manipulative...
Chu Liyue was also taken aback by his sudden action. The last time she had held him on her lap like this was when he was about ten years old.
Five years had passed, and now he was even taller than her. The sudden sitting made her body stiffen involuntarily.
Sensing his slightly down mood, she disregarded everything else and immediately put her arm around him, gently patting his shoulder and soothingly coaxing him in a soft voice:
"No, Ah Jie is fine."
"My sister lied to me. I'm not in good health and I'll only hold her back."
A pitiful voice came from Chu Liyue's shoulder, and her head rubbed against it a few times.
Upon hearing his words, Chu Liyue felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.
Xiao Wujie was an extremely strong-willed person at heart. He hated it when others looked at him with pity or mocked him for it.
During the period when Xiao Wujie's health was just starting to deteriorate, he was quite saddened by his loss of health.
His health deteriorated because of her. To avoid making her feel guilty, young Xiao Wujie would hide in places he thought she couldn't see, even when he was sad.
Whenever she thinks of that scene, she, who is usually very strong, feels a deep sense of guilt and helplessness.
Chu Liyue was speechless for a moment, and could only gently stroke his back with one hand and knead the soft flesh of his neck with the other to comfort him.
But his eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth, and the anger within them was almost tangible.
If looks could kill, Chu Yichen would probably have been torn to pieces and died a slow, agonizing death long ago.
Where no one could see, Xiao Wujie's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
He noticed that several veins were bulging on Chu Yichen's forehead.
Oh!
Brother!
You've been exposed!
