"Big Brother, what project did you participate in?" Ye Xingbei curiously asked, "Aren’t you planning to enter politics? How co you look thinner and tanner, like you’ve been through military training?"
"No," Xie Yunlin patted her head apologetically, "I signed a confidentiality agreent, I can’t tell you."
"Oh, no worries, I was just asking casually," Ye Xingbei asked with concern, "But is it dangerous?"
"No," Xie Yunlin chuckled, "I’ll live well and protect you and Xiao Fei."
"Mmm!" Ye Xingbei smiled sweetly, "Having a brother who cares for us is such a blessing!"
Ye Xingbei looked at Xie Jinfei, "Second Brother, let tell you, Big Brother is super handso today, absolutely stunning!"
Ye Xingbei recounted what happened in the Xie Family to Xie Jinfei.
Xie Jinfei was a bit worried, "Big Brother, won’t Grandpa scold you when he cos back for doing this?"
"It’s fine," Xie Yunlin said calmly, "Mom and Dad aren’t here, you and Beibei are my responsibility. I swore in front of their graves that I would look after you. No matter what happens to , no one can hurt you!"
Ye Xingbei felt all warm inside, extrely moved, she held his arm and looked up at him, "Big Brother, I’ll protect you too! I won’t allow anyone to hurt you either."
Xie Yunlin chuckled and raised his hand to pat her face, "Our Beibei is the sweetest."
"Ahem, ahem!" Two coughs sounded at the door as Gu Junzhu stepped inside.
Ye Xingbei released Xie Yunlin’s arm, turned to look, and deliberately asked, "Is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want so iced pear syrup or loquat paste?"
Gu Junzhu gave her a smile and walked up to her, placing an arm around her shoulders yet his gaze was directed at Xie Yunlin, "You’re back?"
"Yes, I’m back," Xie Yunlin looked at Gu Junzhu, "Fifth Brother, thank you for saving Xiao Fei and for putting aside your pride to help Xiao Fei propose to Si Duomian. I am truly grateful!"
Gu Junzhu tilted the corner of his lips, "We are family, it’s what I should do."
"Exactly," Ye Xingbei wrapped around Gu Junzhu’s arm and told Xie Yunlin, "He’s your brother-in-law, why are you being so polite with him?"
Xie Yunlin glanced at Gu Junzhu, his mouth twitched... With such a high-profile brother-in-law, he felt a bit nervous, unable to find any sense of superiority as the elder brother!
However, upon this return, he noticed the bond between his sister and Gu Junzhu seed to be increasingly harmonious.
It’s like... there’s a kind of intimate connection between them, their gazes almost glued together like honey, with no room for others to intervene.
In short, it seems their relationship is getting better and better.
What a happy occasion!
In the evening, Bohe prepared a table full of delicious dishes to welco Xie Yunlin ho.
Probably because Xie Yunlin was back, Xie Jinfei was in high spirits and even ca downstairs to have dinner.
Though he was not well, he still ate heartily and couldn’t stop praising Bohe’s cooking skills.
He ate while giving a thumbs-up to Gu Junzhu, "Fifth Brother, you’re amazing! How did you find such a great chef? You’re so lucky!"
"Is this luck?" Gu Junzhu’s lips curved slightly, "I think it’s skill."
Xie Jinfei, "...Luck is also a form of skill!"
Ye Xingbei pouted at Gu Junzhu, "My Second Brother is unwell, can’t you just let him win this one?"
Gu Junzhu replied with amusent, "How old is he that I still need to let him win?"
"Exactly," Xie Jinfei said, "I think Fifth Brother is right!"
