"Did the Huo family ask you to cook?"
After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Wen Rushang came out of the kitchen, pulled Wen Xingyue to sit down on the sofa, his gentle eyes slightly cool.
Their family pampered Yueyue from a young age. She rarely even entered the kitchen, let alone cooked. She had never even held a knife. How could the Huo family allow their younger sister to cook?
Wen Rushang was a protective father. Although he knew that his younger sister had wronged the Huo family first, what could he do? His delicate sister and his rough brother were at odds, so he could only let his brother suffer.
He also tried his best to make up for the Huo family in other ways, and whenever he came back from a trip, he would always send anything good to the Huo family first.
Mr. Huo's father liked tea, Mrs. Huo liked silk scarves, and Huo Tingjun liked all sorts of toys. Valuable nutritional supplements and rare items were sent to the Huo family like a flowing stream.
Firstly, it was to make amends to the Huo family; secondly, it was also to hope that his younger sister could live a better life.
"No, I finished breakfast and took the plate into the kitchen. I had nothing to do, and since it would take a while for Aunt Wang to come back, I thought I'd wash it myself. But I'm so clumsy, I couldn't even hold the bowl properly."
Wen Xingyue is a cunning little peach blossom spirit who doesn't lie. She speaks the truth and has nothing to hide.
I'm so stupid, I can't even wash dishes. All I do all day is eat, sleep, or play with my chubby friend. I wonder if my beautiful mom, handsome dad, and Huo Tingxiao would be disgusted with me if they knew.
He muttered to himself.
During her time with Xiao Pang, she overheard him talking about how amazing women in this world are, taking care of children, doing laundry, cooking, serving their in-laws, and going to work. Compared to them, Wen Xingyue felt a bit useless.
To be honest, Wen Xingyue was really worried that one day the little good-for-nothing would be kicked out of the house.
Wen Xingyue wondered if she should learn to cook from Wang Ma in the future, so that she could still cook delicious food for herself if she was kicked out of the house.
“You’re not stupid. Our Yueyue is the smartest. These things are just not suitable for Yueyue to do. Yueyue is born to be pampered. If Wang Ma alone is not enough for you, your brother will send Liu Sao over to take care of you.”
Wen Rushang analyzed her series of inner thoughts and found the answer he wanted, without feeling wronged.
The coldness in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a gentle smile as he gazed at her.
Although he didn't know why he could suddenly hear his sister's thoughts, he was relieved as long as he knew that his sister hadn't been wronged.
Since Ling Yue came back, my younger sister has rarely spoken to them so gently and sweetly. Every day she either locks herself in her room or argues with them, accusing them of only wanting Ling Yue and not her anymore.
Now, those adorable whispers and murmurs warmed Wen Rushang's heart.
He wasn't afraid that he could suddenly hear his sister's thoughts, because the person next to him was his sister.
He was worried that Wang Ma wouldn't be able to take care of the Huo family by herself. Liu Sao had taken care of her younger sister since she was a child. When the two got married, their family wanted Liu Sao to come to the Huo family to continue taking care of her younger sister, but her younger sister refused at that time.
Today, she told Wen Rushang that Wang Ma had gone out to buy groceries, leaving the house empty. Her younger sister suddenly decided to wash the dishes, which made Wen Rushang extremely worried.
This time, the bowl was broken and water spilled. Luckily, my sister was smart enough not to pick up the pieces with her hands, otherwise it would have been worrying if she had cut her hand.
Wen Rushang viewed Wen Xingyue with a strong sense of idealism, and didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister being incompetent.
Anyway, their family doesn't need their younger sister to do anything. They can support her for the rest of her life without any worries. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
"Click—"
A slight sound came from the doorway. The two turned their heads and saw Huo Tingxiao push the door open and push his wheelchair in.
"Xingyue, you're awake. Have you had breakfast? Aunt Wang left breakfast for you in the kitchen."
Hearing the sound of the television in the living room, Huo Tingxiao knew she was awake.
He didn't notice that there was another person in the living room because he was looking down to change his shoes.
"Brother—" He had just changed his shoes when he looked up and saw the man sitting next to the petite woman in front of him, and called out to him.
He shouted after Wen Xingyue.
"Huo Tingxiao, you're back."
Wen Xingyue's voice was sweet and crisp, with a hint of joy.
This was the first time she had woken up and not seen him for a while, and she felt a little uneasy.
Now that he's back, Wen Xingyue's nervousness about facing Wen Rushang has dissipated.
Although she was herself before, to be honest, this was the first time she had truly faced her family in this world, and she was nervous.
Huo Tingxiao finally came back. He went out without telling her, and she didn't see him when she got up, leaving the little peach blossom spirit alone at home.
A person facing their older brother.
During this period, Wen Xingyue had gotten used to seeing him sitting in the living room reading every morning as soon as she went downstairs, but she felt a little aggrieved.
The moment her thoughts echoed, Huo Tingxiao's gaze fell intently on Wen Rushang, wanting to confirm whether he could hear Wen Xingyue's thoughts.
They had gone to pick someone up from school together before, and he had confirmed that no one else could hear the little peach blossom spirit's voice except for his family. Now he wondered if Wen Rushang would be able to hear it...
"Little Peach Blossom Spirit?" Leaving himself all alone? This led Wen Rushang to deduce that "Little Peach Blossom Spirit" likely referred to his younger sister.
What does "little peach blossom spirit" mean? What book has my little sister been reading again, and is she fantasizing about being a little peach blossom spirit again?
Wen Rushang glanced at his sister, who was lost in thought beside him, and wore a helpless smile.
Then, a second later, he thought of something and looked at Huo Tingxiao.
He suddenly found himself able to hear his sister's thoughts, but what about Huo Tingxiao? Could he hear them too?
Huo Tingxiao paid close attention to Wen Rushang's series of changes, taking in all his expressions.
Their eyes met, and the scrutiny and wariness in their gazes made it clear to them instantly that they could both hear each other.
The two of them frowned instantly.
Realizing this, Wen Rushang's heart skipped a beat.
I was so focused on spending time with my sister that I was so happy that she was willing to talk to me, but now I can't help but think about it more deeply.
If he can hear Huo Tingxiao, then who else can hear his sister's thoughts? Can everyone hear them? If everyone can hear them, then it's dangerous for his sister.
Wen Rushang's thoughts at this moment overlapped with those of the Huo family before.
In the end, Huo Tingxiao was the first to react. He shook his head slightly, indicating that they would talk later.
"I'm back."
Wen Rushang glanced at his innocent-looking younger sister beside him and knew that Wen Xingyue was unaware that they could hear her thoughts. He suppressed his deep thoughts and tried his best to keep his voice steady.
"I bought some candied hawthorns. Try them and see if they're good. My brother and I are going to the study to talk about something. You can watch TV in the living room by yourself, okay?"
Huo Tingxiao nodded, entered the living room, took the candied hawthorn hanging from the wheelchair handle, and handed it to Wen Xingyue.
"good."
