The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

After resting for more than half an hour, Pei Sijing finally felt that she had regained control of her body. After a somersault to her feet, she ran without hesitation in the direction where Luo Qingxuan and the others had left.

Just now, in that fleeting glimpse, he clearly saw the appearances of the two beauties and their features. The older beauty's features were comparable to Xiao Ruoxi's, and the other's features were even comparable to the face of the girl he had his eye on before her transformation!

Even though the latter's face already showed signs of death, so what? With his medical skills, which even his master praised as surpassing his master's, he was sure he could cure her.

No, even if she can be cured, it has to be done step by step. Only in this way can we prolong the time we have to be in contact with her and gradually win her over.

If I could get them, I could use them to help me get revenge on that bastard Ye Linyuan!

And that bitch Xiao Ruoxi, she can't be let off the hook either!

servant?

snort!

Ye Linyuan, Xiao Ruoxi, I will make you regret insulting me today!

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. By the time Pei Sijing reached the third floor, Luo Qingxuan and Luo Qingge had already left. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't care too much.

Good things come to those who wait, and the more difficult it is, the better it is for me that the two of them have appeared!

"Forget it, that beautiful woman is already dying. Judging from her appearance, she only has ten days or half a month to live at most. I just need to go to the hospital more often, and I'm sure I can find her."

"If I make a slight move and those two beauties don't throw themselves at me, I'll change my surname from Pei to that bastard Ye Linyuan!"

"Right now, I'd better settle accounts with Ye Linyuan first, otherwise I won't be able to calm down!"

The thought of Ye Linyuan's sneak attack made him feel like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

If he hadn't ambushed me and caused me to lose control of my body for a moment, I wouldn't have lost so much face in front of the woman I had my eye on, and I wouldn't have missed such a great opportunity!

"Ye Linyuan, if I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm a son of a bitch!"

......................................

Mingdelou is a famous private restaurant in Haicheng. Its most famous dish is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was praised by Bai Liuli, the eldest daughter of the Bai family who suffered from anorexia.

However, Ye Linyuan and his two companions did not enter Mingde Building in the end, but instead went into a high-end Western restaurant next to Mingde Building.

In Xiao Ruoxi's words, the food at Mingdelou is delicious, especially Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is a specialty of Haicheng, but there is no atmosphere there.

When it comes to atmosphere, top-tier Western restaurants are far superior to top-tier Chinese restaurants like Mingdelou.

Ye Linyuan didn't care about this. If he didn't come to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Mingdelou today, he could come tomorrow or the day after. It wasn't like he hadn't eaten it before. As for An Wangshu, she didn't refuse at all.

For her, whether it's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall or fried chicken pasta, it's just something to fill her stomach. No matter how delicious it is, how delicious can it be?

This is the real world, not a food anime where delicious food can cause clothes to burst off.

"So, Ruoxi, the atmosphere you're referring to is this kind of dim lighting?"

In a private booth at the Western restaurant, Ye Linyuan ignored the curious or envious glances that kept coming his way and complained to Xiao Ruoxi, who insisted on sitting next to him.

"Yeah, Yuan-ge, doesn't this dim lighting create a romantic atmosphere? And the dimmer the lighting, the less you can see the couple's little gestures."

When she said the first half of the sentence, Xiao Ruoxi spoke normally, but when she said the second half, she was practically lying on top of Ye Linyuan.

As if declaring her sovereignty over someone, Xiao Ruoxi leaned close to Ye Linyuan's ear and gently licked his earlobe with her soft, delicate tongue. Her clear, ethereal voice held a hint of teasing and playfulness, which made Ye Linyuan, who already knew Xiao Ruoxi's intentions, feel a tremor in his heart.

If it weren't for what happened five years ago, if this weren't in public, if it were somewhere else, he might have already taken advantage of this unattainable beauty who was tempting him yet again.

However, my main task right now is to increase An Wangshu's favorability. If I lose control of my lust and fail to increase An Wangshu's favorability, and end up causing myself and the Ye family to suffer the tragic ending of the original story, then I'll have nowhere to cry.

After checking his mind, Ye Linyuan quickly pressed Xiao Ruoxi's shoulders and pushed her back down.

"What couple? I only see you as a little sister. Sit down properly."

After saying that, in order to skip this part, Ye Linyuan looked at An Wangshu, whose face clearly said "I'm not happy, I'm very, very unhappy," and hurriedly handed her the menu, which was entirely in English.

"Wangshu, what do you want to eat? Order for yourself. Don't try to save money for your little sister Ruoxi. She has a small goal for her allowance every year."

An Wangshu was feeling down because her only good brother was now focusing all his attention on Ruoxi, the only sister in the family who was good to her. But when she heard that Xiao Ruoxi had a small goal for her monthly allowance, her mouth dropped open in surprise.

A small amount of pocket money, enough to achieve a modest goal?

Is this really pocket money?

My own allowance... wait, do I even have an allowance...?

Neither my father nor my sisters ever gave me any pocket money, not even living expenses...

"Hehe, Brother Yuan, your allowance is more than mine, and if you want it, I can give you all the New Year's money and allowance I've saved up over the past nineteen years."

"This amount of money, when added up, is probably around 100 billion, but I haven't calculated the exact amount."

Xiao Ruoxi's voice was light and cheerful, while her gaze lingered on An Wangshu, wanting to see her reaction.

Although An Wangshu seemed like an easy girl to manipulate, just in case, she still wanted to make her back down. After all, there were just too many rivals in love these days, and it was better to have one less.

Ideally, she should be so incapable of comparing herself to others, whether in terms of her own status, appearance, figure, background, or wealth.

An Wangshu lowered her head in disappointment. No wonder her brother liked a sister like Ruoxi. Not only was she beautiful and had a great figure, but she also had an astonishing amount of pocket money.

As for herself, not only was she not as pretty as Ruoxi, but she was also much thinner. As for pocket money, not to mention when she was in the Ye family, even when she was still in the An family, she rarely had more than 100 yuan in pocket money.

Seeing An Wangshu's dejected look, Ye Linyuan reached out and took An Wangshu's phone, then used facial recognition to unlock it directly on An Wangshu's face.

[500 million yuan has been credited to Fortune Treasure.]

"Alright, Wangshu, this is your allowance as your older brother. If it's not enough, just ask me for more."

"elder brother......"

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, "If it's not enough, just ask me for more," An Wangshu's mind instantly conjured up the smiles of her adoptive parents, and her eyes immediately reddened, on the verge of tears.

They had told themselves that if they didn't have enough pocket money, they could just ask them for more...

But they, they...

"Wangshu, what's wrong? Don't cry."

Ye Linyuan said he was completely baffled and didn't understand why An Wangshu cried when he had only transferred 500 million yuan to her.

Was it because they were too moved?

But the emotion emanating from her red eyes wasn't gratitude, but sorrow...

"Brother, I... I miss Mom and Dad, waaaaah..."

Mom and Dad...

Ye Linyuan instantly understood that she was thinking of her adoptive parents, her biological parents.

Ye Linyuan patted Xiao Ruoxi's hand and said somewhat dejectedly.

"Ruoxi, go order first, and tell the restaurant manager that I've booked the whole restaurant today. Everyone else should leave. I'll compensate you double for all the losses. Let me chat with Wangshu for a while."

"......good."

Xiao Ruoxi was completely bewildered. She couldn't understand how things had suddenly developed this way. Had she said something...?

Despite her many doubts, Xiao Ruoxi knew even more clearly that she shouldn't be staying here right now...

After Xiao Ruoxi left, Ye Linyuan sat down next to An Wangshu, put his arm around her thin shoulders, and comforted her.

"Wangshu, your parents are gone, but you still have me, your dad, your sisters, and the rest of the Ye family. They are all your family."

In an instant, An Wangshu trembled, raised her head and looked at Ye Linyuan with teary eyes, murmuring in disbelief.

"...They are all my...family."

Seeing that the sadness on An Wangshu's face had lessened slightly, Ye Linyuan quickly seized the opportunity to try and bridge the gap between the Ye family and An Wangshu.

"Yes, we will all be your family. I know that in the past four years, because of some misunderstandings, your father, your sisters, and others have not been good to you. But don't worry, the misunderstandings have been cleared up, and they will treat you as well as they treated me from now on."

Hearing Ye Linyuan's words of comfort, An Wangshu could no longer hold back her emotions. She suddenly hugged Ye Linyuan, buried her head in his warm embrace, and cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face.

"Waaaaah, brother, waaaaah, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa on my mother's side, Grandma on my mother's side, they all died because of me, they all died because of me, waaaaah, everyone says I'm a jinx, waaaaah, brother, can you, can you not abandon me? Besides you, I have no other family left, waaaaah..."

"Please, please don't abandon me. I can do anything. I can do laundry, cook, sweep and mop the floor, make the bed and warm the blankets, I can..."

"As long as my brother doesn't abandon me, I'll do anything, I'm willing to do anything, as long as my brother doesn't abandon me."

Feeling the frail body trembling in his arms, Ye Linyuan sighed inwardly.

How much grievance must An Wangshu have suffered to be so humble and plead for even the smallest bit of care?

"No, I will never abandon Wangshu no matter what. You are my sister."

"And Wangshu, you're not a jinx. The deaths of your parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents weren't your fault. If we really have to say who's to blame, it's God's fault. He caused this tragedy for both families!"

Hearing Ye Linyuan's words of comfort, An Wangshu cried even harder. Four years of sorrow, four years of grievances, four years of self-blame, and four years of regret all turned into a boundless tsunami at this moment, almost drowning her completely. In an instant, her tears flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable...

happy New Year!
