ely. Song Wei was protecting me. If she was humiliated, how could I bear it"Let go of me! I'm calling the police!" I tugged hard on the middle-aged woman's arm.At that moment, something suddenly rolle...A normal person's life probably involves waking up naturally, or being woken up by hunger.

When my brother pulled me out of the covers, it was still gray outside. I crawled back in and mumbled, "It's not even light yet, what do you want"

My brother let out a long sigh and said in a serious tone, "Little Qiao, it's not that I'm waking you up to go to sleep, but it's already evening. We've slept all day! If you don't get up to cook now, are you planning on going to bed hungry until tomorrow"

Oh, it's already evening... I hesitated for a moment, well then, might as well sleep the whole night through and eat breakfast directly tomorrow morning.

“Aren't you having dinner” My brother raised an eyebrow and asked, “You won’t get a chance to say you’re hungry when your ghost husband comes back. If you don’t eat, you’ll have no strength, and without strength, will you be able to make it until tomorrow morning”

I sat up speechless, "Thank you for thinking of me..."

"No need to thank me! You two don't need to thank me for anything... quickly get up and cook some food, I'm starving to death." My brother said with a grin, ordering me around.

I knew he didn't have good intentions. Ordering takeout would be fine, but he insisted I get up and cook!

I'm going to make him a random hot pot, when I was chopping vegetables, I heard my brother talking on the phone. He seemed very impatient and shouted a couple of things before hanging up.

Oh my, oh my... This guy isn't arguing with a woman, is he

"Mu Yunfan, if you ever have a girlfriend, bring her over to meet us. I don't have any other requirements, just that she has good cooking skills." I tapped on the table during dinner.

"Huh" My brother just rolled up his sleeve and looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Girlfriend Does an inflatable one count"

Inflatable!

"You're kidding me! I'm serious, as long as they cook well and can make meals for you and Dad, I'll be happy. Find someone based on that standard."

Even if I'm gone, you won't be eating takeout and ramen every day.

"Come on, nobody's better at this than you, and you don't even cause any trouble. Your girlfriend still has to wait on you... I have hookups, that's enough for me." He pulled out his usual twisted logic again.

I'll see how long you can drag it out. You graduate in half a year, humph... All the elders will pressure you into marriage. You better find someone you like and who cooks well sooner rather than later, or your elders will shove one onto you.

My brother, with a mouthful of fatty beef, furrowed his brows and said, "Xiao Qiao, are you tired of cooking You're always thinking about me finding a wife! You know what, you should be asking Dad to find a companion instead!"

Dad is deeply in love with Mom. Do you think he'll find another partner I find it hard to imagine.

》》》

There is such a person in this world.

Before I met him, I didn't know what it meant to be in love.

After he left, I was even more clueless about the taste of life.

Even though he knew he was insignificant to the other, like a grain of sand in the vast ocean or a speck of dust in the universe, he still gazed at him with unyielding devotion, his eyes fixed solely on him.

River mist usually appears around 11 p.m., and it's still far from that now. It's past eleven. I'm bored out of my mind, leaning on the table. Song Wei's call came just in time. Talking to her on the phone for two hours was exactly enough to kill time.

"Xiao Qiao! Are you not at the hotel" Song Wei blurted out.

"Huh What hotel"

"Oh, what about the love hotel"

"...What do you want to say, I'm home."

"Oh, so you haven't started making the bed yet"

"...I'm hanging up."

Song Wei burst into laughter: “Don’t hang up! Come out quickly, let’s go play. I bought you a gift.”

A gift What's the occasion today I've got this itch, it's been ages since I last saw Song Wei. We didn't even have a chance to call when we were at the Shen family, she's really my only female friend you know.

"Well, I could go out for... two hours. Would that be enough" I glanced at the time.

"Wow, you and your boyfriend even set a time for making love! Come on, come on!" she said with a rather creepy smile.

Of course, this kind of weirdness wasn't the kind I encounter every day. I guessed she was definitely going to "stir up trouble," so I put on my scarf and ran downstairs.

"Little ancestor, where are you going again" My brother, poisoned by the king's pesticide, didn't even raise his head to ask me.

"Just go hang out with Song Wei, you don't have to come! I'll be back in two hours."

"Be good… make sure to keep track of time, and come back before it gets too late. Otherwise, you might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow..."

You're darn tootin'!

Now my brother keeps bringing this up to pressure me!

Song Wei, that little slut, rushed into my arms as soon as we met and took the opportunity to grope me!

"Well, although you haven't grown up, it seems like you've gotten fuller! The texture is pretty good! It looks like you guys have a great relationship, not bad, not bad!" She proudly wiggled her finger: "I knew it the moment I touched it!"

"That's enough..." There are so many people on this street! Don't you have any shame

Song Wei giggled and handed over two large paper bags. The bags were very pretty, and the gifts inside were all wrapped in wrapping paper and tied with bows, looking like clothes.

"Here's your Christmas present," she said, taking my hand. "Although it's a day late, yesterday the 24th was really crowded, today it's a little better. How about we find somewhere to sit and talk"

"... Oh, this is so embarrassing of me, I haven't even gotten you a gift." I looked at the two heavy paper bags, they looked very high quality and there were so many. They definitely weren't cheap.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Your boyfriend helped me look at a house last time, he was amazing! He could just glance at it and point out a bunch of issues, the sellers were in tears! In the end, they gave me a discount of 100,000 yuan! This is just my way of thanking him, you remember to tell him." Song Wei's smile was a little sly.

My naivety kept me from understanding the "wicked" intentions behind her smile.

When I got back to the room, Jiang Qiyun was already glaring at me with a displeased expression: "Mu Xia Qiao, you went out alone again"

"I was just sitting with Song Wei at the business center next door... I'm going to take a shower first." I could see the look on his face, and I wanted to quickly hide in the bathroom.

"What are these" he asked, frowning as I placed two large bags on the desk.

"Song Wei gave me a gift, oh... she also said thank you for helping her watch the house."

Jiang Qiyun coldly snorted. As the Emperor, him helping someone look at a house... I feel a little embarrassed just saying it out loud....

I was pleasantly warmed all over, after all, sleeping in Jiang Qiyun's embrace during the winter is a real test of one's constitution, and I couldn't rely on him to help me stay warm.

When I came out, I saw Jiang Qiyun holding several documents that looked like instruction manuals. He frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

My goodness, the Emperor is actually showing this kind of expression It's so rare…

"What are you looking at I can teach you if you don't understand." I thought Song Wei had given me some high-tech gadget.

Jiang Qiyun raised his head, his thin lips curving into a shallow, evil smile.

He raised his hand and swept two empty paper bags from the table to the floor.

There were many things scattered on the table, and he had unpacked everything Song Wei had given him.

"Alright, you teach me—"our relationship with the Lin family, my family managed to escape unharmed this time… So, you can make a request, and I will try my best to fulfill it.” Mr. Shao stated plainly.Perhaps his time was ve...
