"Since Yu Yu is Yu Lang's sister, Yu Lang would like to give Yu Yu a gift, and hopes that Yu Yu will accept it."
Chen Yu dared not look up, afraid that tears would fall, and dared not reply, for fear that she would burst into tears if she opened her mouth. She could only reach out to take it, but through her tear-blurred vision she could not see clearly what it looked like—a long wooden box.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, and tears streamed down her face, falling onto her orange dress.
Just then, a girl rushed in and grabbed Liu Yu's arm.
"Brother Yu, Yue'er has finished drawing the rockery. Brother Yu, please go and help Yue'er take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it?"

Xinyue rolled her eyes at Chenyu, then looked at the Duchess and asked, "Aunt, do you want Chenyu to be Brother Yu's first wife?"
Liu Yu was terrified. He knew that Xin Yue was arrogant and domineering because of his favored status. If she knew that he liked Chen Yu, she would definitely target Chen Yu.
He grabbed Xinyue's wrist and left, saying things to reassure her.
"Yue'er is overthinking again. Brother Yu has already formed a godparent-godfather relationship with the Mu family, and Yu Yu is my little sister..."
