Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

Cheng Xihe went to a different shopping mall and strolled around for a while.

In the end, I bought a pair of glasses.

"This one will do. Please wrap it up for me, then get a gift box and tie a bow on it."

Cheng Xihe took a pink ribbon.

"it is good."

Carrying the gifts, Cheng Xihe returned home in a good mood.

After wandering around for a while, it was only just lunchtime.

At the dining table, only siblings Qin Ruosu and Qin Yebai were eating.

These two were quite interesting; they were sitting in completely opposite directions, quite far apart.

I didn't see any sibling affection between them at all.

"Xihe, you're back?"

Qin Ruosu looked up and saw her, greeting her with a smile.

Gentle and considerate.

There was absolutely no sign of the collapse that occurred when the defenses were breached in the morning.

Cheng Xihe went in, placed the gift on the cabinet to the side, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the seat next to Qin Ruosu.

The chairs there had been pulled out, and tableware and food were laid out on the table.

There was clearly a third person at the table.

"Um."

Cheng Xihe responded and walked past her with the gift in hand.

Qin Ruosu had noticed Cheng Xihe had bought a gift long ago. "Xihe, what's that in your hand?"

"Do you want glasses too?" Cheng Xihe turned his head to look at her.

"No, no need."

Qin Ruosu replied weakly.

"Pfft!"

Qin Yebai, who was not far away, sneered, "Pretending to be something you're not."

He wasn't targeting any one person in the family; he simply didn't get along with anyone in the family.

"Susu."

Just then, a figure walked out of the kitchen.

Cheng Xihe glanced at it.

The newcomer was a young man, about the same age as them, carrying a plate of cut fruit.

He placed the fruit next to Qin Ruosu: "Try the fruit I bought. It was just flown in this morning, it's very fresh."

Cheng Xihe almost rolled his eyes.

Well, I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be a cargo loading station.

Cheng Xihe ignored him.

Qin Ruosu whispered, "Xihe, this, this is me..."

"Whoever is yours has nothing to do with me, just don't bother me." Cheng Xihe frowned impatiently.

I hate loading and unloading these goods the most.

She had already figured out what Qin Ruosu meant.

"Hello, I'm Su Su's boyfriend, my name is Su Wenjie," the man said, standing up and staring at Cheng Xihe with an unfriendly look.

Seeing that Cheng Xihe ignored him, the man's voice was filled with anger: "I heard you are Susu's sister? How can you be so rude?"

I'd like to ask Uncle Qin how he educates his children.

"Wenjie, don't be like this."

Qin Ruosu grabbed his arm: "Xihe is my sister, don't say such hurtful things."

"Susu, you have no idea how much suffering you've endured while I was away!"

Su Wenjie patted her head reassuringly: "Eat some fruit."

"Mmm." Qin Ruosu nodded obediently, a smile on her lips.

Walking up to Cheng Xihe, Su Wenjie extended his hand: "Hello, let's get acquainted."

Cheng Xihe lowered her eyes and saw that the veins on Su Wenjie's exposed arm were taut and bulging.

It seems this person is preparing to teach himself a lesson about grip strength.

Cheng Xihe glanced at Qin Ruosu, who was hiding behind the man, and sneered.

At this moment, Qin Ruosu's lips curled up and her body leaned forward.

Although she didn't look up, you could feel her expectation.

"Hello, Cheng Xihe."

Cheng Xihe shook his hand without changing his expression.

"You're from the Su family, right?"

If I remember correctly, the Su family and our Qin family were engaged as children, right?

Before coming, Cheng Xihe had already done his research.

She also has a fiancé, who is from the Su family.

That was arranged by her mother and the lady of the Su family before she was born.

Because she was sent away, Qin Ruosu became the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and the marriage fell to Qin Ruosu.

Su Wenjie is good-looking and rich. He has been very good to Qin Ruosu over the years, and their relationship is stable.

Upon hearing about the arranged marriage, Qin Ruosu, who was not far away, darkened her face: "Xihe, Wenjie and I..."

"Are you truly in love? Are you telling me not to stop you from being together, or what?"

Cheng Xihe finished reciting all her lines in one go.

Qin Ruosu was rebuffed.

Seeing this, Su Wenjie tightened his grip, making the veins on his arm very prominent.

"That's it?" Cheng Xihe gripped his hand tightly, his strength so great that Su Wenjie's hand was deformed.

All that pushing tires and building grip strength to squeeze things back then wasn't for nothing!

She just doesn't look strong!

Su Wenjie's face twisted in pain, and even though he was suffocating and his face turned red, he still couldn't kill Cheng Xihe.

Sweat began to bead on Su Wenjie's forehead. He had a gut feeling that if things continued like this, he would lose face big time.

How can that country bumpkin have such a strong grip!

"How are you doing, Young Master Su?" Cheng Xihe didn't hold back at all, looking at Su Wenjie with a smile.

Su Wenjie felt completely overwhelmed.

"Tsk!" Cheng Xihe clicked his tongue in disappointment. "Is that all the strength you have? Useless, Young Master Su."

Qin Ruosu could no longer sit still and quickly got up to grab Su Wenjie's hand.

"Clatter".

A tear fell onto Su Wenjie's swollen hand: "Yes, I'm sorry, Wenjie. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister."

"Are you in pain? I'll go get you some medicine."

Su Wenjie's anger subsided considerably, and he didn't even have time to be angry with Cheng Xihe anymore.

"It's alright, Susu, it's nothing serious," Su Wenjie said, completely ignoring Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe: ...

Didn't you just lose?

baffling.

"Hahaha!"

The sudden burst of laughter drew everyone's attention.

Qin Yebai chuckled and stood up. "That's all men are like, even that woman..."

Cheng Xihe stared at him expressionlessly.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth inexplicably took a different turn: "If you can't even beat Second Sister, then all that fitness stuff is just a lie!"

After speaking, Qin Yebai glanced cautiously at Cheng Xihe.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Yebai quickly got up and, even though he stumbled, didn't stop and hurried back upstairs.

Kids have such bad tempers; afraid of losing face, they just ran away as fast as they could.

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Cheng Xihe looked up at Su Wenjie.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Su Wenjie looked at Cheng Xihe warily.

"hiss!"

Feeling pain in his arm, Su Wenjie looked at Qin Ruosu and asked, "Susu, what's wrong? Don't be afraid."

Qin Ruosu gripped Su Wenjie's arm tightly with all five fingers, unwilling to let go.

"You guys are so annoying."

Cheng Xihe said bluntly, "Do whatever you want, just don't mess with me, or I won't go easy on you next time."

After glancing at Qin Ruosu, who was putting on an act, and Su Wenjie, who looked disgusting, Cheng Xihe left without looking back.

As Qin Ruosu watched Cheng Xihe's retreating figure, she felt a vague unease in her heart.

She didn't achieve the effect she wanted.

"Susu, what's wrong?" Su Wenjie noticed that Qin Ruosu was in a bad mood and asked her.

Qin Ruosu's eyes welled up with tears, which then fell in a steady stream: "Wenjie, I just feel sorry for you..."
