Routine: Wan Xiaoxiao

Jiang Junyi dodged Wan Qingyun's reaching claw and straightened up with a chuckle.

He could never get tired of his Wife's shy, slightly annoyed expression.

Just as the two were flirting, a whirlwind figure burst into the study and launched a flying kick.

"Damn Jiang Junyi! Get away from my sister!"

Jiang Junyi glanced back, twisted his waist, and sidestepped the kick.

Wan Xiaoxiao landed and glared at him angrily: "Did you forget something?!"

Jiang Junyi raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"Oh!"

He smacked his fist into his palm.

"I brought Qingyun breakfast."

Jiang Junyi fetched the breakfast from the living room—a bowl of wontons and a fried egg.

"Quick, quick, eat it while it's hot. I made it myself."

When Wan Qingyun heard it was made by Jiang Junyi's own hands, her throat moved slightly.

After tasting his cooking yesterday, she'd been craving it ever since.

"Ahem. You—don't mess around. I'll eat it myself!" Wan Qingyun pointed in Jiang Junyi's direction.

"Ah~ but these wontons are really hot, I have to blow on them for you. And how can you scoop them up accurately?" Jiang Junyi tossed the problem back.

Wan Qingyun paused. She really had never eaten wontons before.

They were a bit troublesome.

But then she thought again—she was a Houtian Martial Artist now. She could sense whether a wonton was in the spoon.

"No... don't worry about it. I can feel it."

"Oh, really?"

"Of course!" Wan Qingyun looked confident.

Jiang Junyi watched her, proud and poised like a white swan, and a gentle smile spread across his face.

Ahhh! So cute! So in love!

Beneath his calm exterior, his heart was already pounding wildly.

Without thinking, Jiang Junyi slowly reached out and touched Wan Qingyun's cheek. His touch was so gentle that she didn't even resist at first.

The genuine emotion flowed from his fingertips, and she could feel it.

So Wan Qingyun didn't pull away from the caress, nor did she blush and get angry as usual. Instead, she calmly savored the warmth of Jiang Junyi's palm.

A warm, sweet atmosphere flowed between them.

Just as Jiang Junyi leaned in closer...

"Hey! I said! I'm still standing right here!!!"

Wan Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, then shoved them apart.

"Ahem! Xiaoxiao, your sister was just thinking about something."

Wan Qingyun coughed lightly and made an excuse.

Ding~ Detected that the Pure Love target greatly enjoyed the recent warm atmosphere. Pure Love Points +5.20!

"Hmph!"

"Nyah nyah!" Jiang Junyi stuck his tongue out at Wan Xiaoxiao.

"Damn Jiang Junyi, look at what time it is!" Wan Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Jiang Junyi blinked: "Why do I need to know the time?"

This time, Wan Xiaoxiao was the one stunned.

Bro, seriously?

Didn't you say yesterday you'd take me to school?!

For a moment, Wan Xiaoxiao felt a little wronged.

Suddenly, a big hand landed on her head and ruffled her hair hard.

"Alright, I know. I'm taking you to school. We've got time."

Wan Xiaoxiao knocked Jiang Junyi's hand away and walked toward the door.

But her steps were a little lighter.

Jiang Junyi shook his head: "Qingyun, I'll take Xiaoxiao to school first. Make sure you finish the wontons."

He leaned close to Wan Qingyun: "Secret's out—your mother-in-law made them for you."

With that, Jiang Junyi bolted away, leaving Wan Qingyun slowly turning red.

Granny... granny?!

My granny... that would be Jiang Junyi's mom...

No no, what granny! We're not there yet.

But the wontons Mom makes are really good too...

Ah, spit! Not Mom yet either.

Wan Qingyun happily ate the wontons. The filling Zhao Ningyu had picked, combined with Jiang Junyi's craftsmanship, made her feel like her tongue was about to fall off.

Her whole body even swayed a little...

Over here.

Wan Xiaoxiao had already gotten into Jiang Junyi's car. Of course, Uncle Wu was the driver.

The moment she got in, Uncle Wu's "Little Miss" had directly made the little girl shy.

So much so that she sat in the car very quietly, as if trying to live up to the title of "Little Miss."

"Hey, why are you so quiet?" Jiang Junyi sat in the passenger seat, turning back in confusion.

"Of course, I've always been this demure, you know." Wan Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

"Pfft, you were real demure when you did that flying kick too~" Jiang Junyi said sarcastically.

"Jiang Junyi!"

"Thump."

Jiang Junyi shot his body out with lightning speed and flicked Wan Xiaoxiao on the forehead.

"Ow! Why'd you hit me?"

"Call me brother-in-law!"

"No!"

"I'll give you allowance."

"No... how much?" Wan Xiaoxiao leaned forward.

Jiang Junyi held up one finger.

"A hundred bucks? I guess that works." Wan Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin.

"Ten thousand."

"How... how much?!"

"Ten. Thousand."

"Brother-in-law~" Wan Xiaoxiao called out with a grin.

Making money, nothing shameful about it.

Hearing this, a sly smile curled at the corner of Jiang Junyi's mouth. "Take out your phone, I'll transfer it right now."

"Okay!"

Wan Xiaoxiao excitedly rummaged through her backpack. Uncle Wu gave a slight smile and shook his head.

As expected of the Young Master, full of tricks.

Quick as that, Wan Xiaoxiao pulled out a phone with a slightly cracked screen, opened the payment QR code, and looked at Jiang Junyi expectantly.

Jiang Junyi didn't go back on his word. He transferred ten thousand right in front of Wan Xiaoxiao.

Just as Wan Xiaoxiao was about to cheer, Jiang Junyi snatched her phone away.

Huh?

Jiang Junyi waved the phone. "Look, phone confiscated from now on. You study hard, and when the time comes, your brother-in-law will get you a new phone, how about that?"

Wan Xiaoxiao said nothing, still in a state of shock.

A setup! It was all a setup!

"No way! After school, I'm calling the landline at home and letting my sister know!" Wan Xiaoxiao argued.

"I'm already picking you up and dropping you off from school, what do you need to call for?" Jiang Junyi countered.

"This..." For a moment, Wan Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words. It seemed like...

This way was actually safer.

Then Jiang Junyi added, "And besides, even if something comes up, Uncle Wu will pick you up on time. You can rest assured on that."

"Yes, Second Miss."

Wan Xiaoxiao, who had been about to throw a fit, heard the words "Second Miss" and suppressed it again.

"Hmph! You said it!"

"I mean what I say."

Wan Xiaoxiao pouted, crossed her arms, and leaned back against the seat.

Jiang Junyi studied Wan Xiaoxiao's battered phone carefully.

An old phone, about five years old—meaning she'd gotten it right when she started middle school.

That alone told him the sisters hadn't exactly been living the high life before this.

This little townhouse was probably left by their parents before they passed.

A blind, disabled woman and a child.

Jiang Junyi didn't even want to imagine how much hardship they'd endured to get this far.

For a moment, pity flickered across his face—though mostly for Wan Qingyun.

Wan Xiaoxiao was barely an afterthought.

A little while later, the gates of Jiang City No. 1 High School appeared.

The black luxury car rolled up slowly, instantly becoming the center of attention for every student at the entrance. They all speculated which rich girl was inside.

Just as Wan Xiaoxiao was about to open the door and get out, Uncle Wu beat her to it, holding the door open while shielding the frame with his hand.

For a moment, she actually felt a little shy.

As Wan Xiaoxiao stepped out, every student's gaze locked onto her.

But she was naturally lively and outgoing—she lifted her chin like a proud little swan.

Jiang Junyi got out too, and all eyes shifted to the striking, absurdly handsome man.

"Remember, study hard."

"I know, I know!" Wan Xiaoxiao replied, heading toward the school gate.

Her steps were light, her body swaying.

Clearly, the kid was over the moon.

Jiang Junyi shook his head and got back in the car. "Let's go, head back. I haven't had my fill of Qingyun yet!"
