"Brother Ling Qian." Xia Yinian called again.
"Actually, you don’t need to keep reminding us of our brother-sister relationship; if you call ’Ling Qian,’ I’d be happier."
Gu Lingqian reached out with his long fingers and gently tapped Xia Yinian’s nose.
"Didn’t we agree? We’re just siblings, so I have no right to interfere with your love life."
"But if you choose Uncle, this matter must remain a secret for now."
"Our relationship, apart from making Grandma happy, can also keep you a bit safer, you understand?"
Xia Yinian pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"I heard everything you said with Senior Feimo in the room at Yaoshan."
"Old Master would never allow and Uncle to be together, and then there’s Grandma’s illness..."
Rembering Yu Wanqing’s words, Xia Yinian realized that the possibility between her and Uncle was slimr than ever, and she was becoming increasingly hesitant to hope.
"That’s why I said if you don’t know how to handle it, don’t. I don’t see a problem with it, so what are you worried about?"
Gu Lingqian rested his hand on her shoulder and frowned slightly.
"With here, I won’t let Grandpa lay a hand on you. Don’t overthink it."
Looking at her, a sense of tenderness welled up within him.
That day she was standing at the door, he didn’t even realize. She must have been really scared then, right?
"Don’t worry! As soon as I find soone more charming than you, I’ll let you know. It’s just that I haven’t had ti to look yet."
The man placed his large hand on the girl’s shoulder, making them look more like siblings than a couple.
"That’s what you said, don’t forget it." Xia Yinian pursed her lips and pushed his hand away.
"But I still prefer calling you ’Brother Ling Qian.’ If I had you as a brother from a young age, wouldn’t that be wonderful."
"Starting at eighteen isn’t too late." Gu Lingqian said with a smile.
Soon, Nan Shen appeared in the garage, pushing several boxes.
"Brother Ling Qian, is Nan Shen really this fast? It’s been less than five minutes, how could he..." Xia Yinian looked outside, surprised.
"Of course not, he’s just picking up the goods; the supermarket staff already prepared it." Gu Lingqian’s voice rang out.
Nan Shen ca over, placing several packaged gifts in the trunk, and the car left the underground garage.
A few minutes later, the car arrived at the orphanage.
"Nian Nian, you’re finally here! Long ti no see!"
The director eagerly ca out, followed by a group of children of varying heights.
"Nian Nian sister."
"Nian Nian sister."
"Uncle Ling."
"Uncle Ling."
The children ran out joyfully, surrounding Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian.
"Call him Brother Ling," corrected the director.
"Brother Ling," the older children quickly responded.
"Hello, Brother Ling!" the younger ones also responded politely.
"Everyone, co over. Brother Ling and Nian Nian sister brought lots of gifts for you." The teacher standing with Nan Shen called out.
Seeing the boxes of gifts, the children raced towards Nan Shen, as kids love receiving presents.
Watching the cheerful children, Xia Yinian’s smile remained, realizing Brother Ling Qian did even better than she did.
"Nian Nian, you’re lucky to have Young Master Ling as such a great husband. You must cherish him." The director patted Xia Yinian’s shoulder.
"Good people deserve good things! Heaven will surely bless you."
Xia Yinian glanced at the director, before her gaze fell on Gu Lingqian.
