Chapter 296: Call Me Brother

Chapter 296: Call Me Brother

After the meal, the tables in the hall were removed. Everyone sat in the hall and listened to the Old Madam’s lecture.

Originally, she had wanted to probe the Wei family’s background, but she did not expect that the Wei family had so many rules.

In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan was a princess, she had more rules than she did now. However, she had been used to wandering around the manor these few days, and the Wei family did not have much relation to her, so Xia Wanyuan felt very bored. She took advantage of Old Madam Wei’s intermission and left the hall.

Under the light of the night, the garden outside revealed a hazy beauty. Xia Wanyuan walked around the corridor. The fresh air in the courtyard washed away the boredom in her heart.

“You’re Xia Wanyuan? Third Sister’s daughter?” An old voice suddenly came from behind.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Old Madam Wei standing not far away. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. “Yes, Old Madam.”

“How was the banquet today?” The Old Madam looked at Xia Wanyuan and Wei Shu’s similar eyebrows and suddenly asked an unrelated question.

“The food is pretty good.” Xia Wanyuan stood calmly, and her words made Butler Zeng’s eyebrows twitch.

Miss Xia looked like a smart person, but she did not know how to seize opportunities. Even if she really felt that the food was delicious, she should not say it out loud. (italics)

The old madam stood quietly and looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Xia Wanyuan returned Old Madam Wei’s gaze without fear.

After a while, a smile suddenly flashed across the old madam’s eyes. Then, without saying anything, she led Butler Zeng away.

When they were eating just now, Xia Wanyuan had basically identified everyone in the Wei family. She looked at the time and realized that it was time to go back. There was nothing to stay here, so she walked straight out the door.

“Wait a moment.” Wei Zimu had also walked out of the hall and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

A hint of admiration flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes as she looked at Wei Zimu, who had arrived leisurely. This Wei Zimu, who had been adopted by the Wei family, looked much more outstanding than the other so-called members of the Wei family.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Zimu had just helped her at the table, so Xia Wanyuan was much more polite to him.

“My name is Wei Zimu, and I’m considered your brother. Can I call you Sister Wanyuan?”

“Up to you.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“It’s my first time seeing you today, so I didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. This is a little thing I carved myself. Just treat it as my first gift to see my sister. Wei Yu is young and has always been pampered. Don’t be calculative with her.”

With an apologetic expression, Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. “I didn’t hold it against her. Thank you.”

“Are you leaving? Let me send you out.”

“Alright.”

Wei Zimu was a person who made people feel like a clear breeze and moon at first sight. When one chatted with him, it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. He was just like a modest gentleman.

He accompanied Xia Wanyuan out the door. Along the way, he told Xia Wanyuan many things about the Wei family, and she learned more about them.

“How are you going to go back? Do you need me to send you?” After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, he did not see her car. As Wei Zimu spoke, he took out his keys and prepared to drive Xia Wanyuan home.

“I…” Xia Wanyuan was about to decline when a familiar Phantom lit up not far away. “Someone came to pick me up. Thank you for your good intentions.”

The Phantom drove over slowly. The chauffeur stood in front of the car door and waited for Xia Wanyuan and Wei Zimu to finish speaking.

“Goodbye, Sister Wanyuan. This is my phone number. You can look for me if you need anything,” Wei Zimu said as he handed a name card to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan accepted the name card and turned to get into the car.

The car door closed and the car gradually drove away. Wei Zimu’s eyes were filled with confusion. He seemed to have seen a corner of the suit in the car just now.

The moment Xia Wanyuan got into the car, the chauffeur very consciously pulled up the partition.

“Why are you here?” Xia Wanyuan took the teacup from Jun Shiling and looked at him in surprise. “Didn’t you say that you would be very busy today? Don’t you have a meeting?”

“I saw that you were not back yet and was worried about you, so I came over.” Jun Shiling glanced at the small box and name card in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Have you eaten well, Sister Wanyuan?”

Just as she took a sip of tea, she choked on Jun Shiling’s words.

“Ahem.” Xia Wanyuan swallowed the tea.

Jun Shiling patted Xia Wanyuan’s back gently. “Why are you so agitated? It’s fine if others call you, but I can’t?”

Xia Wanyuan felt her ears heat up. It was because she did not feel anything when others called her sister, but hearing Jun Shiling call her sister made her feel uncomfortable.

“According to seniority, I’m indeed his younger sister.”

“Oh, as far as I know, that person just now is the adopted son of the Wei family. He’s not related to you by blood. Why are you calling him brother? I think he has other intentions. You have to be careful of him.”

“Jun Shiling.” Xia Wanyuan laughed and could not help but stop Jun Shiling from continuing.

“Yes,” Jun Shiling put down the cup in Xia Wanyuan’s hand and replied slowly.

“I think you’re the one with ulterior motives.”

“I only want you, nothing else.”

“…” Xia Wanyuan felt that whenever she spoke to Jun Shiling recently, it would always end with her silence.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was ignoring him, Jun Shiling said, “I’m so hungry.”

“Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten yet?” Xia Wanyuan was surprised.

“I’ve been in meetings the whole time. Then, I was worried about you, so I came straight here.”

“Then eat some bread first. Eat more when you get back,” Xia Wanyuan said as she opened the preservation room in the car. Xia Wanyuan liked to eat some snacks, and Jun Shiling often prepared some inside. As expected, Xia Wanyuan found milk and bread inside.

“I don’t want to eat it.” Jun Shiling took the bread but did not move. Instead, he glanced at Xia Wanyuan faintly.

Xia Wanyuan had been too familiar with Jun Shiling’s various actions recently. With one look, she knew that Jun Shiling wanted to tease her again. Xia Wanyuan turned her head and ignored him.

Jun Shiling rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with fatigue. Then, he sighed slightly.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him and felt sorry for him. After all, she knew how busy Jun Shiling was. He definitely didn’t lie, and he must have come to look for her after finishing his work. She said helplessly, “Then tell me, what should I do for you to eat?”

Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was becoming more and more like a child in front of her. He was actually like Xiao Bao, asking for comfort and coaxing.

“He just called you sister.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with deep eyes.

“Well, you can call me that too.”

“No, I want to hear you call me Brother.” Jun Shiling had unknowingly approached Xia Wanyuan, his eyes smiling.
