"Brother, take my advice. Qin Wan is not a woman you can handle. Give up."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Do not be stubborn and ignorant, and do not be like a moth drawn to a flame."
"Otherwise, you'll end up hurting yourself, damaging your heart, lungs, and body."
As he was speaking, Qin Xu suddenly froze, and his face paled almost imperceptibly.
"Qin Wan, that's enough."
Qin Xu lowered his head, glaring at Qin Wan, who was staring at him with a half-smile, through gritted teeth.
Qin Wan smiled and pinched the muscle in his waist. "Having a good time talking?"
"...I'm helping you get rid of those unwanted romantic advances!"
A hint of guilt flashed in Qin Xu's eyes, but he quickly put on a righteous expression.
"I saw you having a great time making fun of me." As she spoke, Qin Wan increased the pressure on her hand and spun it 180 degrees.
"hiss!!!"
Qin Xu gasped in pain.
"Let go! Let go now!"
"Fine, I won't say anything more!"
"Do you think I wanted to talk about you?!"
"Qin Wan, let me tell you, do you think I want to meddle in other people's business?"
"If it weren't for our years of friendship, I wouldn't bother with such things!"
As he spoke, Qin Xu glared angrily at Wen Ze, then stepped on the gas and sped off.
On the back of the motorcycle, Qin Wan smiled as she looked at the "angry" man in front of her.
Because he was in a bad mood, Qin Xu drove at top speed, trying to scare Qin Wan.
But he quickly realized that unless it snowed in June or blood rained down, Qin Wan wouldn't be afraid!
"Why did you slow down?" Qin Wan asked with a smile.
Qin Xu rolled his eyes, his face clearly saying, "I don't want to talk to you right now."
After dropping Qin Wan off at home, Qin Xu didn't waste a moment and immediately rode his bike home.
Qin Wan lingered at the villa entrance for a while, only slowly turning back into the house after Qin Xu's figure disappeared.
The huge villa was completely quiet, devoid of any signs of human activity.
Her schoolbag was casually tossed onto the carpet, and Qin Wan lazily slumped onto the sofa, closing her eyes to rest quietly for a few seconds.
Then, as if remembering something, she took out her phone, took a picture of the sunset scattered on the living room's French windows, and casually posted it to her WeChat Moments.
[Why did the host send this?] The system asked if it didn't understand.
"To facilitate psychological warfare later."
Qin Wan rested her head on her arm, looking up at the ceiling and the luxurious, dreamy crystal chandelier above her.
【？？？】 It sounds impressive, but I still don't understand what the use of a photo is.
Meanwhile, at Qin Xu's home.
Just as Qin's mother finished preparing a sumptuous meal, Qin Xu stepped into the house.
"Ah Xu is back. Come and eat. Mom made your favorite braised pork and braised carp."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu's eyes lit up, and he threw down his schoolbag and rushed to the dining table.
"Where's Dad? Isn't he home yet?" Qin Xu, being greedy, grabbed a piece of braised pork and threw it into his mouth, looking around as he ate.
"We've just arrived at the entrance of the community, we'll be there soon," Qin's mother said gently.
"By the way, how are your grades lately? Have they improved? Have you been causing trouble at school?"
As she spoke, Qin's mother reached out and slapped Qin Xu's hand, which was trying to sneak another bite, and glared at him irritably, "Did you wash your hands?"
"Mom, can't you trust me a little more?" Qin Xu pouted and complained.
"Who told you to keep fooling and lying to me?" Qin's mother said irritably.
"I didn't lie to you..." Qin Xu subconsciously wanted to refute, but then, as if he had thought of something, his voice gradually became softer, showing obvious signs of guilt.
"You finally remembered?" Qin's mother squinted at him.
“Apart from the fight with Qin Wan, I’ve never lied to you since I was a child,” Qin Xu said stubbornly.
"Besides, when Qin Wan and I fight, it's never me who starts it. I'm always the one who gets hit, okay?"
"I was acting in self-defense."
"Mom, I'm your biological son, how can you be so biased?" Qin Xu complained.
Seeing the aggrieved and depressed look in Qin Xu's eyes, Qin's mother raised her hand and slapped him.
"How dare you, a grown man, compare yourself to a young girl like Qin Wan?"
"Besides, you're a few months older than Qin Wan, so you're practically her older brother. I'm asking you to take good care of her, not to fight with her or bully her!"
"Mom, you're being too biased."
"I think Qin Wan is your real daughter, and I'm the one you picked up by the roadside."
Qin Xu dodged his mother's slaps while making his accusations.
Qin's mother rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"By the way, how's Wanwan been these past few days? You haven't provoked her or fought with her again, have you?"
Seeing that Qin's mother kept talking about Qin Wan, Qin Xu felt very jealous, but he still obediently told her the truth about Qin Wan's recent situation.
"You mean, there's a sophomore at your school who's pursuing Wanwan?"
"Yeah, that guy wasn't good-looking, but he had really high standards." Qin Xu scoffed.
"What's Wanwan's attitude?" Qin's mother asked with concern.
"She..." Qin Xu recalled the scene of Qin Wan kicking Wen Ze, "She probably doesn't like that boy."
Although she did it to save Wenze.
But based on his understanding of Qin Wan, he knew she could have saved Wen Ze in other ways, instead of making him look so pathetic and embarrassed. Yet she chose not to.
Her impression of Wen Ze was probably... not as good as his.
Although the two of them always start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
"Please keep a close eye on her. Wanwan is young and naive, and easily deceived."
"As her older brother, you absolutely must take good care of her, you understand?"
Qin Xu: "..."
"What are you two talking about? Why does the brat look so reluctant?"
Just then, Qin's father returned in time, looking at the mother and son with a smile and amusement.
"You're back. Come and eat."
“I was just talking to Ah Xu about Wanwan. The more Wanwan grows up, the more she looks like Su Ning. She’s unbelievably beautiful.”
“Ah Xu said that there are boys at Jiangcheng University who are pursuing Wanwan. I told him to keep an eye on her and not let her be deceived.”
Hearing this, Qin's father frowned slightly and sighed, "Wanwan's marriage... I'm afraid it can't go according to her own wishes."
"What do you mean?" Qin's mother frowned.
"My company is currently collaborating with Lao Qin on a project, and I happened to have lunch with him and the investors today..."
"Judging from what Lao Qin said, he plans to arrange a marriage between Wanwan and another man."
Qin's mother: "Has Qin Cheng gone mad?"
"Wanwan is only a young girl, just starting her freshman year of college. What kind of marriage alliance is she talking about?"
"Does the Qin family lack that little bit of money?"
"Would he really go so far as to sell his daughter?"
"When Su Ning left, he promised to take good care of Wanwan, but how has he done all these years?"
"He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't care about Wanwan at all."
Seeing Qin's mother's angry expression, Qin's father sighed softly, "You know perfectly well that Su Ning is gone, and the Qin family is no longer what it used to be."
“Wanwan…is not Qin Cheng’s only child after all.”
