Her round almond-shaped eyes looked clear and harmless, and paired with a pure white dress, she looked like a white lotus that stood apart from the world. Even when she deliberately flaunted Fu Rong's favoritism towards her, it seemed like she didn't mean to say it.
Yu Mowan gave her a meaningful look, took the gift from her, and said calmly, "Thank you for the gift. I'm not angry."
She doesn't need to get angry over people who are unrelated to her.
Shu Xueyin's heart skipped a few beats.
He was simply frightened by Yu Mowan's gaze.
When Yu Mowan looked at her just now, she felt as if she had been stripped naked, and all the filthy and disgusting thoughts in her heart had nowhere to hide.
"Sister, can I hug you?"
Shu Xueyin took a deep breath, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and gave Yu Mowan an even sweeter and more innocent smile. "When Mom and Dad said they found you, I was so happy. Now I not only have a brother to love me, but also a sister to care for me. I don't know how many people will envy me if I tell others."
Yu Mowan disliked physical contact with people who had impure motives, but since she had just arrived at the Shu family, she didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Shu Xueyin. Otherwise, if it got back to Fu Rong, her dear grandmother would definitely come looking for trouble with her parents.
After weighing her options, she was about to reluctantly hug Shu Xueyin when she heard Shu Lingyi say, "Xueyin, your older brother hasn't seen you for several days. Don't you want to hug me?"
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Shu Xueyin's eyes.
Despite becoming Shu Chuxiao and Yun Yun's adopted daughter, the family always treated her with a distance, no matter how hard she tried. They were always more gentle than affectionate.
Especially the eldest brother, who would never take the initiative to hug her.
For him to suddenly ask to hug her now, there's only one possibility...
Her eyes swept over Yu Mowan with a subtle glint of jealousy, and she almost bit her back teeth to pieces.
Her dear older brother is truly good to his younger sister, Yu Mowan.
Because of the word "raised," Yu Mowan easily gained the family's affection compared to her.
Without Fu Rong, she would be nothing in the Shu family.
"What, you don't want to hug your big brother because he smells sweaty?"
Shu Lingyi's slightly joking words pulled Shu Xueyin back to reality.
She smiled again, her voice sweet with a hint of complaint, "Big brother, I didn't. I was just a little surprised that you would hug me like that."
"It's my fault, I didn't know you young girls like hugs. I'll be more careful in the future."
Shu Lingyi gave a casual explanation and then hugged Shu Xueyin.
The embrace was fleeting, and it felt somewhat perfunctory.
"..."
Shu Xueyin felt even more uncomfortable, and she dug her nails into her flesh to barely maintain a flawless sweet smile on her face.
It's alright, there's plenty of time. She will make these people like her even more than Yu Mowan.
