Xiao Qingxue gave Wen Qingwan an impatient shove, and the latter's body floated back lightly.
A faint smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.
Just then, Xiao Jinyan arrived behind Wen Qingwan and caught her as she fell.
Wen Qingwan's body landed squarely in Xiao Jinyan's arms, but this unintentional intimate contact almost made her heart skip a beat.
Seeing this, Mu Guo gave a weak smile. It seemed that the women in this villa were not simple at all.
Xiao Qingxue, sitting opposite, was stunned. She hadn't used much force, so how could Wen Qingwan have fallen so easily, and just happened to fall into Jin Yan's arms?
"Brother Jinyan, you're finally back! I was almost driven crazy by this ugly monster!"
Xiao Qingxue said coquettishly, subtly pulling Wen Qingwan away from Xiao Jinyan's arms, and then sticking to him like a piece of chewing gum.
Xiao Jinyan raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Guo, who was standing there indifferently, and a rare smile appeared in her eyes.
"Oh, in the entire Xiao family, is there anyone who dares to bully you? You're lucky you don't bully others!"
His tone was full of teasing and doting, but there was no hint of blame.
It seems that Xiao Qingxue is indeed very favored in the Xiao family, even the cold-faced Xiao Jinyan has to smile at her.
"Brother Jinyan, you're so mean! Why do you say that to people like that?"
Xiao Qingxue pouted and started to act coquettishly like a child.
Xiao Jinyan's gaze turned slightly cold when it fell on Wen Qingwan, who was standing to the side. He then ignored Xiao Qingxue and sat down on the sofa.
Muguo then stood behind him.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here today? I heard that the old man has given you and Shenxing a strict order to get pregnant within the year. Shouldn't you be at home trying to conceive?"
"Jinyan, don't say that. From the first day of our marriage, he... he hasn't touched me at all. How could I have gotten pregnant on my own?"
There was a faint sadness in her tone. Her eyes, however, glanced at Xiao Jinyan, watching for changes in his expression.
Upon hearing this, Mu Guo glanced at her in surprise.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be difficult for a woman to talk about, but I didn't expect that this seemingly gentle and weak Wen Qingwan would say it in front of so many people.
Xiao Jinyan opened his mouth, about to say something, when he heard Xiao Qingxue burst out laughing.
"No way, Second Sister-in-law, you've been living alone for over three months now? No wonder I saw Second Brother openly with a strange woman at the bar the other day..."
"Xue'er, you should go back now."
For some reason, Xiao Jinyan's face darkened, and he suddenly lowered his voice.
Xiao Qingxue pouted reluctantly and whispered,
That's exactly right.
Then, when she inadvertently glanced at Mu Guo standing behind Xiao Jinyan, that sour feeling in her heart surged up again.
"Brother Jinyan, you have to promise me one thing."
"What's up?"
Upon hearing Xiao Jinyan's tone soften, Xiao Qingxue immediately became smug, her lips curving into a wide smile.
"Grandpa's 70th birthday is coming up soon, and this time, I'd like to hold his birthday banquet here."
"That's all?"
Xiao Jinyan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.
"In order for the old man's birthday banquet to go smoothly, I need to ask Brother Jinyan for something."
Xiao Qingxue raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Guo.
