โBrother and Sister-in-law are so close. Letโs go in then. Aunt and the others must have waited for a long time.โ Luo Xinrui smiled. ฦ๐ฟe๐ฆ๐ ๐ฒ๐n๐ฮฝ๐๐น.๐o๐ข
It had to be said that Luo Xinrui was worthy of being called a formidable opponent. Chen Weiโer 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 Weiโer had to jog to keep up with his pace. She couldnโt help but mutter, โI didnโt realize you could walk so fast before! Those who donโt know better would think that youโre going to participate in a race walking competition.โ
โWhat did you just say?โ He Xun heard her say something in a low voice and turned to ask.
โI said your legs are long! They look even longer than when youโre not wearing pants!โ Chen Weiโer spoke casually, but the others didnโt 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! ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ทo๐ท๐๐ญ.๐๐๐
When Chen Weiโer saw the reaction of the two, she realized what she had said. However, Chen Weiโerโs 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.
โWhy donโt you come in?โ 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 Weiโer.
Chen Weiโer thought to herself, โSheโs indeed my aunt. She doesnโt even have the patience to pretend to be patient with her stepson and his wife.โ
Chen Weiโer naturally returned a polite smile. After all, He Xunโs 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 couldnโt let outsiders see them as a joke.
Now, Chen Weiโer wanted to mend her relationship with He Xun and wouldnโt let others think that they had a bad relationship. She immediately stuck to He Xun and sweetly called him โhubbyโ.
This charming voice made Luo Qionglan and Luo Xinrui, who were having an intimate conversation, shiver. They couldnโt believe it.
They couldnโt be blamed for being like this. After all, in the past, when Chen Weiโer came to the He family, she didnโt know how to smile, didnโt even talk, and didnโt have any interaction with He Xun. They were like two strangers, but now, they looked like they were newly married.
He Xun didnโt have any reaction, but this person had always been like this. No matter what happened, he was always calm and composed. Chen Weiโerโs 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 Weiโer pouted. How could she repair such a relationship?
โHe Xun, why are you so late?โ A serious male voice interrupted Chen Weiโerโs 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 Xunโs elder brother, He Zui, and also the person Chen Weiโer 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 motherโs 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 motherโs death!
From then on, He Zuiโs and He Qiu Shanโs relationship was like fire and water. Other than important festivals, He Zui would not return. As he grew older, He Zuiโs influence infiltrated the He group. When He Xun came of age, he completely took over He Qiu Shanโs 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 Xunโs 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 Zuiโs home during the holidays. He was currently a professor at a famous school, and his wife was a professor at the same school.
โElder Brother, Second Brother, there was a traffic jam on the road. I was delayed.โ He Xun also walked up to the two of them, and Chen Wei โer also greeted them in a low voice.
โHmph!โ He Zui didnโt give Chen Weiโer a good look. She touched her nose awkwardly. Instead, He Song stepped forward and smiled. โSister-in-law, youโre 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.โ
โAlright,โ he said. Chen Weiโer nodded, then raised her head and said to He Xun, โIโll head over first. Call me if you need anything.โ
โYes.โ He Xun was still expressionless. He Song saw that his brotherโs eyes were focused on Chen Weiโer who was going upstairs. He smiled and said, โShe seems a little different...โ
