"elder brother……"
Chu Yan's dejected voice came from behind, but Sheng Si did not turn around.
Chu Yan bit her lower lip lightly, took a step forward and stood behind Sheng Si, just as she reached out her hand...
"ah!"
Chu Yan gasped in surprise and took several steps back in fright.
Suddenly, Sheng Si turned around and was holding a kitchen knife, staring at her.
“Brother…” Chu Yan’s lips trembled slightly as she looked at Sheng Si with fear and hurt in her eyes.
Sheng Si frowned at her. "Stay away from me."
The hurt in Chu Yan's eyes deepened.
"Brother, I just wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with."
"Help with what?"
"Help him break off the engagement?"
"Or should I help him cheat?"
"Or perhaps it would help his career reach new heights?"
A clear female voice came from behind her. Chu Yan's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure as she turned around.
"Qin Wan, what brings you here?"
Are you mistaken?
"I'm just here to make tea and see if there's anything I can help you with."
“You may not know this, but I used to do this all the time, so I thought maybe I could help my brother and let everyone eat lemon chicken feet sooner.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled, crossed her arms, and leaned casually against the kitchen door.
Are you implying that the Sheng family has mistreated you?
"Are you implying that you're just a shameless, heartless orphan who refuses to leave someone else's home and tries to destroy their family harmony?"
Qin Wan's sudden sharp tongue caught Chu Yan off guard.
In the living room just now, Qin Wan clearly accepted all of her attempts to befriend her.
She had thought that Qin Wan's opinion of her had changed slightly, or that she intended to maintain a superficial harmony.
Unexpectedly, only a few minutes had passed, and Qin Wan's attitude towards her had become so hostile!
"I don't……"
Chu Yan's eyes were red and her face was full of panic and helplessness. She kept looking at Sheng Si with a wronged gaze, trying to get his pity and help.
"I really just wanted to help my brother, Qin Wan, you've misunderstood me..."
Seeing that Sheng Si did not respond for a long time, Chu Yan had no choice but to save herself.
Her eyes were red, and she had an innocent look on her face that said, "You've misunderstood me. I really didn't think that way, and I didn't do that."
As she spoke, Chu Yan took a few steps forward, getting closer to Qin Wan, and tried to take her hand.
unexpectedly.
Qin Wan was so frightened by her that she took several steps back, her face showing a look of fear and wariness as if she were facing a raging flood.
"what you do?"
"Just talk, can you behave yourself and stop hitting me?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan looked Chu Yan up and down, her brows furrowed and a strong sense of suspicion appearing in her eyes.
"You wanted to hug Sheng Si just now, and now you want to hug me..."
"You're not bisexual, are you?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan took two steps back, widening the distance between herself and Chu Yan.
Chu Yan's expression twisted for a moment. She lowered her head, feigning injury, and tried to suppress the hatred surging in her eyes.
"Whether you believe me or not, I really didn't."
After saying that, Chu Yan could no longer hold back, covered her mouth and ran out of the kitchen and out of the Sheng family home.
In the living room, Yan Mu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally broke free from his mother's control, got up and quickly chased after Chu Yan's figure, leaving the Sheng family together.
On the sofa, Mr. Sheng looked worriedly in the direction where Chu Yan and Yan Mu had left.
Seeing her father's reaction, Sheng Yue curled her lips in a sarcastic smile, "Yan Mu was willing to break off our engagement for her. With Yan Mu around, you don't need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Sheng's father snapped out of his daze and looked at Sheng Yue, who was becoming increasingly rebellious and unfilial. His expression darkened.
"Sheng Yue, you're becoming more and more unruly and ill-mannered!"
Hearing this, Sheng Yue smiled and said, "Dad, do you think I could take a look at myself first?"
"Everyone says that parents should set a good example for their children, but what about you? How have you done it?"
"Raising your ex-lover's daughter? Treating a complete stranger better than your own children—do you even resemble a father?"
As she spoke, perhaps influenced by Chu Yan's bad habits, Sheng Yue's eyes unconsciously reddened.
"Furthermore, you say I'm ill-mannered, but what about yourself?"
"With so many family members and guests present, how did you manage to do that?"
"Besides, I am your daughter. Even if I am truly ill-mannered, it is your fault!"
"It's your fault for not doing it well, it's your fault for not teaching well!"
After suppressing her anger and finishing speaking, Sheng Yue turned to Qin's parents, smiled politely at them, and looked apologetic.
"Uncle Meng, Aunt Qin, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit. Please forgive me."
Meng Yan and Qin Shu shook their heads slightly, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Sheng Yue.
"Go find Wanwan and let her keep you company," Qin Shu said.
Sheng Yue's eyes welled up with tears for a moment. She looked at Qin Shu gratefully and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qin. I'll go find Sister Qin Wan now."
"Go."
Ignoring her father's angry gaze, Sheng Yue walked towards the kitchen with a clear and unambiguous goal, disregarding him and Yan's parents standing beside her.
In the kitchen, Qin Wan was casually leaning against the kitchen cabinet, her gaze fixed intently on Sheng Si, who was focused on making lemon chicken feet.
"Brother Sheng..." A female voice of unknown origin rang out.
Sheng Si suddenly stopped stirring the chicken feet.
Is making lemon chicken feet tiring?
Do you need any help?
Sheng Si: "..."
Sheng Si looked up at Qin Wan with a complicated expression. Meeting her deep gaze, Sheng Si seemed to understand something.
"...Are you jealous?" Sheng Si asked tentatively.
Qin Wan snorted and proudly raised her chin. "She's not worthy."
Seeing this, Sheng Si's thin lips curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
[Sheng Si's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 81.]
“Yes, she really doesn’t deserve it,” Sheng Si agreed.
As soon as he finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and stepped forward to take Qin Wan's hand.
"What are you doing?" Qin Wan frowned, looking at him with suspicion.
Sheng Si pulled her to the counter, put the chopsticks in her hand, stood behind her, half-embracing her and holding her hand.
"Weren't you going to help?"
"I'll teach you."
Qin Wan: "..."
Sheng Si stood close behind her, tilting his head and looking down at her as he spoke.
As he spoke, his warm breath sprayed onto her cheeks and sensitive earlobes, causing her body to stiffen slightly, and a tingling sensation ran straight to her heart.
For a moment, Qin Wan's body stiffened, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes.
Sheng Si, with his sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of a faint smile spreading across his eyes...
"Why are you stunned?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Qin Wan did not react for a long time, Sheng Si pretended to be puzzled and turned his head to look at her...
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan finally snapped out of her daze. She instinctively broke free from Sheng Si's grasp and turned to try and escape from his embrace...
Unexpectedly, in the instant she turned around, she wasn't paying attention, and her warm, soft red lips quickly brushed against Sheng Si's cheek.
The familiar tingling sensation struck their hearts once again...
