βBrother and Sister-in-law are so close. Letβs go in then. Aunt and the others must have waited for a long time.β Luo Xinrui smiled. ΖπΏeπ¦π π²πnπΞ½ππΉ.πoπ’
It had to be said that Luo Xinrui was worthy of being called a formidable opponent. Chen Weiβer secretly observed her expression and found that Luo Xinrui was still as relaxed as usual.
He Xun was tall and naturally had a pair of long legs, so Chen Weiβer had to jog to keep up with his pace. She couldnβt help but mutter, βI didnβt realize you could walk so fast before! Those who donβt know better would think that youβre going to participate in a race walking competition.β
βWhat did you just say?β He Xun heard her say something in a low voice and turned to ask.
βI said your legs are long! They look even longer than when youβre not wearing pants!β Chen Weiβer spoke casually, but the others didnβt listen casually at all.
He Xun stopped in his tracks. Even Luo Xinrui, who had been trying her best to pretend to be generous, almost collapsed! π§πππ²ππππ·oπ·ππ.πππ
When Chen Weiβer saw the reaction of the two, she realized what she had said. However, Chen Weiβerβs smile became even more brilliant. She had never realized that she was so good at saying sweet nothings. It was simply a perfect score! She clapped for herself in her heart.
βWhy donβt you come in?β Luo Qionglan came out to welcome the guests. When she saw He Xun and the other two, she pulled Luo Xinrui along with a loving expression and nodded politely to He Xun and Chen Weiβer.
Chen Weiβer thought to herself, βSheβs indeed my aunt. She doesnβt even have the patience to pretend to be patient with her stepson and his wife.β
Chen Weiβer naturally returned a polite smile. After all, He Xunβs relationship with his father and his stepmother was only average. He only attended the banquet because of his reputation. The He family was noble, and any small movements would be discovered by others. No matter how the family was, they couldnβt let outsiders see them as a joke.
Now, Chen Weiβer wanted to mend her relationship with He Xun and wouldnβt let others think that they had a bad relationship. She immediately stuck to He Xun and sweetly called him βhubbyβ.
This charming voice made Luo Qionglan and Luo Xinrui, who were having an intimate conversation, shiver. They couldnβt believe it.
They couldnβt be blamed for being like this. After all, in the past, when Chen Weiβer came to the He family, she didnβt know how to smile, didnβt even talk, and didnβt have any interaction with He Xun. They were like two strangers, but now, they looked like they were newly married.
He Xun didnβt have any reaction, but this person had always been like this. No matter what happened, he was always calm and composed. Chen Weiβerβs confidence weakened with every step she took with him. She had already expressed her goodwill, but He Xun was still indifferent. Did he truly not like her?
In her previous life, He Xun had been alone after his divorce only because he had been clean and honest. No desire for women?
Thinking back to the two years they had been married, he had only expressed the idea of having a close conversation on the first night of their wedding, but he had never mentioned it again after she rejected him. So, he was a man without desires?
Chen Weiβer pouted. How could she repair such a relationship?
βHe Xun, why are you so late?β A serious male voice interrupted Chen Weiβerβs thoughts. She looked at the person who had come, and her small face instantly turned bitter.
The person was wearing a white linen Tang suit. He was about 40 years old and had a serious expression, giving off an imposing aura. He was He Xunβs elder brother, He Zui, and also the person Chen Weiβer was most afraid of.
When He Xun was born, He Zui was already in his twenties. The two of them were more like father and son because He Zui had taken care of He Xun while he was growing up. While Old Master He, also known as He Qiu Shan, was busy getting married, He Zui had already moved out of the He family with He Xun.
He Zui could bear the pain of his motherβs death and could bear the thought of his father remarrying. However, he could not accept that his father would marry a woman who was three years younger than him after his motherβs death!
From then on, He Zuiβs and He Qiu Shanβs relationship was like fire and water. Other than important festivals, He Zui would not return. As he grew older, He Zuiβs influence infiltrated the He group. When He Xun came of age, he completely took over He Qiu Shanβs position and transferred the company to He Xun. He even set up his own business outside and had never married.
The scholarly-looking man standing beside He Zui was He Xunβs second brother, He Song, who was fifteen years older than He Xun. He had liked to read since he was young. However, he only looked gentle on the outside. He was extremely stubborn. When He Qiu Shan remarried, he extorted a sum of money and went abroad alone. He had also returned to He Zuiβs home during the holidays. He was currently a professor at a famous school, and his wife was a professor at the same school.
βElder Brother, Second Brother, there was a traffic jam on the road. I was delayed.β He Xun also walked up to the two of them, and Chen Wei βer also greeted them in a low voice.
βHmph!β He Zui didnβt give Chen Weiβer a good look. She touched her nose awkwardly. Instead, He Song stepped forward and smiled. βSister-in-law, youβre just in time. Your second sister-in-law is upstairs with Youyou. That child is getting more and more mischievous. You should go and help your second sister-in-law.β
βAlright,β he said. Chen Weiβer nodded, then raised her head and said to He Xun, βIβll head over first. Call me if you need anything.β
βYes.β He Xun was still expressionless. He Song saw that his brotherβs eyes were focused on Chen Weiβer who was going upstairs. He smiled and said, βShe seems a little different...β
