The pa.s.sionate young man’s voice was a little low. When it landed in Murong Qiao’s ears, his ident.i.ty was instantly revealed.
“Fifth Brother!” She suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.
Xian Yu stood at the door and waved at Murong Qiao happily. Then, he took off his winter coat and hung it aside before walking over.
Xian Yu had just returned from outside and was still cold. He wanted to sit further away from Murong Qiao, but when he got closer, Little Sister pulled him back.
Murong Qiao moved to make room for him. “Sit here!”
She didn’t seem to be afraid of the cold at all and pulled Xian Yu to sit beside her.
At this moment, the Murong Family was about to start eating. Murong Qiao was waiting in the living room for lunch. She didn’t expect to meet his Fifth Brother, Xian Yu, who had returned home.
“Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Xian Yu reached out and ruffled Little Sister’s hair.
He had been filming recently and had been so busy that he had lost weight. When he heard that Murong Qiao was coming home this weekend, he finished his work and rushed home.
However, work also made Xian Yu much more mature. The remaining youthfulness on his face disappeared, and his facial features became even more handsome and elegant. His eyebrows also raised sharply, and they pierced into people’s hearts with a little sharpness. He smiled lightly, the kind that made fans’ noses bleed.
When Gu Yin saw Xian Yu like this, she couldn’t help but be tempted. Her eyes couldn’t move away from Xian Yu when he entered and sat beside Murong Qiao. She was just short of pouncing onto him.
Although she didn’t chase celebrities and didn’t know Xian Yu’s ident.i.ty, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster when she saw his face, figure, and temperament.
“Fifth Brother is back?” Murong Chuan’s voice came from the kitchen.
When it was time for lunch, Murong Chuan decided to personally cook for his family. Although he usually held a pen and paper, his hands were quite talented in using pots and spoons. Moreover, Murong Chuan was also a little interested in cooking.
Xian Yu replied, “It’s mainly because 1 miss our little princess.”
He spoke casually, not mentioning how tiring it was for him to rush back for two days a day.
However, when his gaze landed on Murong Qiao, he immediately felt that all the fatigue he had worked hard for was gone. He was filled with motivation.
“Perfect. Let’s have lunch together. I’ll go up and call Big Brother.” Murong Chuan brought the prepared dishes to the dining table.
It was rare for the brothers to gather together, so they naturally had to have a good meal.
Gu Yin quickly stood up. “I’ll help too.”
Fortunately, Gu Yin wasn’t that irrational. After seeing Murong Chuan’s actions, she also went to the kitchen to help. Perhaps she also wanted to leave a good impression with Xian Yu.
“Who is that?” Xian Yu looked at Gu Yin.
When he first came in, he was so focused on looking at his Little Sister that he did not notice that there was a living person beside him.
If Gu Yin hadn’t spoken up later, Xian Yu really wouldn’t have discovered her existence.
Murong Qiao’s att.i.tude was indifferent. “Third Brother brought her back.”
She had not forgotten what happened to Gu Yin last night. Regardless of that, Murong Qiao did have any good feelings for Gu Yin.
“Oh.” Xian Yu didn’t mind too much.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
It was the first time that so many people were eating lunch together in the Murong family. As usual, Big Brother Murong Chen sat in the middle, while Murong Chuan and Fifth Brother Xian Yu sat beside Murong Qiao. Gu Yin on the other hand, sat on the other side of Murong Chuan.
“Third Brother’s dishes are super delicious!” Murong Qiao was the first to affirm.
She had always liked to eat meat. This time, Murong Chuan had made a lot of meat dishes according to her preferences. Moreover, his culinary skills were superb, and many dishes were much better than those in restaurants. Hence, Murong Qiao’s heart was instantly won over.
When Murong Chuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Didn’t you think the same way the last time you ate pig brains?”
He teased her about what had happened previously, and Murong Qiao’s expression instantly became indescribable.
The last time she drank the soup sent by her family every day, she almost vomitted. No matter how delicious the food was, it could not arouse her desire to eat.
Murong Qiao stopped thinking about that and focused on the food in front of her now.
Murong Chen didn’t say much, but his expression was still alright. Xian Yu was also focused on eating. Thus, the atmosphere at the dining table was not bad.
She reached out to pick up some food, but felt an itch beside her ear. “Oh?”
It was probably because her hair wasn’t tied properly. Her messy hair tickled her neck, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Murong Qiao was picking up the food with her chopsticks with one hand and taking the bowl with the other. Clearly, she couldn’t spare time to care about her hair.
“Let me do it.” Murong Chuan was helpless.
He was the closest to Murong Qiao. Seeing that his Little Sister’s hair ribbon had fallen out, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and reached out to help her tie her hair behind her head.
Murong Chuan naturally approached Murong Qiao. He moved his hands along her hairline and gathered her unruly hair back together. The hair tie was on his right wrist, and he tied Murong Qiao’s hair into a low ponytail.
When Gu Yin saw the intimate posture of the siblings, she couldn’t help but feel irritated and displeased. She felt that the scene in front of him was a little blinding.
“Qiaoqiao and Chuan are so intimate. I almost feel jealous,” she said gently.
Gu Yin was not in the mood to eat. Her mind was filled with the image of Murong Chuan tying Murong Qiao’s hair. Even the hair tie on Murong Chuan’s wrist looked awkward to her.
She looked at Murong Qiao. “If I didn’t know that you were siblings, I would have misunderstood.”
Her tone was a little sour. Gu Yin, who had not acted up yesterday, finally found an opportunity.
Using the matter of tying her hair, she pointed at Murong Qiao to express her dissatisfaction.
Misunderstood?
Xian Yu looked at Murong Chuan and Little Sister Murong Qiao’s actions and instantly frowned. He felt that Gu Yin’s words sounded weird. Besides, what right did she have to criticize their Little Sister?
He had always placed Murong Qiao as the most important person in his heart. Therefore, when he heard Gu Yin criticize Murong Qiao, Xian Yu was the first to stand up and retort.
“Do we need your guidance on the relationship between us siblings?” He had always been straightforward.
Gu Yin originally targeted Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao, but Xian Yu’s words reversed the situation and her expression turned ugly.
Xian Yu looked at Gu Yin with an unfriendly gaze. “Besides, don’t you know the principle of not talking while eating? Who even talked to you?”
“It’s only right for us to treat our Little Sister well. Moreover, you’re an outsider. You’re not even Murong Chuan’s confirmed girlfriend, let alone our sister-in-law. What reason do you have to say that?” He said whatever he thought of and was merciless to Gu Yin.
Why would they not treat their Little Sister well and treat her well instead?
Murong Qiao should have been pampered since she was young. Not only did she lack so much in the past, but now, her Big Brothers wished they could bring the entire world to her. Now, they only felt that they didn’t pamper her enough and it definitely wasn’t Gu Yin’s turn to gossip here.
Gu Yin gripped the chopsticks in her hand tightly and her face turned pale. She couldn’t have expected Xian Yu to speak like this… so blatantly.
She only said that she had to have some sense of propriety. Moreover, she was about to become Murong Chuan’s girlfriend. Was this request too much?
“Even if you marry him, you don’t have the right to interfere in this kind of thing.” Xian Yu added, “Don’t tell me you think you’re his Missus now just because you met us?”
He didn’t care who Gu Yin was. In any case, she wasn’t allowed to say anything bad about Qiaoqiao.
“If you don’t like it, no one will stop you. You can get out yourself..”
