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

He never got tired of seeing his wife look shy and slightly annoyed.

Just as the two were flirting, a fiery figure suddenly barged into the study and immediately threw a flying kick.

"Jiang Junyi, you jerk! Stay away from my sister!"

Jiang Junyi glanced back and twisted at the waist, dodging the kick.

Wan Xiaoxiao landed and glared at him indignantly. "Did you forget something?"

Jiang Junyi raised a brow. "What?"

"Oh!"

He punched his fist into his palm.

"I brought Qingyun breakfast."

Jiang Junyi fetched the breakfast he had left in the living room: a bowl of wontons and a fried egg.

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

When Wan Qingyun heard that Jiang Junyi had made it personally, her throat bobbed slightly.

After tasting Jiang Junyi's cooking yesterday, she had been unable to forget it.

"Cough, cough. You—don't try anything. I can eat by myself!" Wan Qingyun pointed in Jiang Junyi's direction.

"Ah, but these wontons are really hot. I need to blow on them for you. Besides, how could you accurately scoop up a wonton?" Jiang Junyi tossed out the problem.

Wan Qingyun paused slightly. It seemed she really had never eaten wontons before.

This was indeed a little troublesome.

But then she reconsidered. She was a Postnatal Martial Artist now, so she could still sense whether a wonton was in her spoon.

"N-No need for you to worry. I can feel it."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Wan Qingyun looked utterly confident.

Jiang Junyi looked at the proud, confident Wan Qingyun, who resembled a white swan, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Ahhh! So cute! I love her so much!

In contrast to his outward gentleness, his heart had long since begun pounding wildly.

Unable to stop himself, Jiang Junyi slowly raised a hand to Wan Qingyun's cheek. His touch was so gentle that she did not struggle at first.

Wan Qingyun could feel the genuine emotion flowing from Jiang Junyi's fingertips.

So she did not resist the gentle caress, nor did she become shy and angry as usual. Instead, she calmly felt the warmth of Jiang Junyi's palm.

A warm, sweet atmosphere flowed between them.

Just as Jiang Junyi wanted to lean his head closer...

"Hey! I'm still right here, damn it!!!"

Wan Xiaoxiao ground her teeth, then forcefully pulled the two apart.

"Cough, cough! Xiaoxiao, Sister was just thinking about something."

Wan Qingyun pretended to cough as she explained herself.

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

"Hmph!"

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

"Jiang Junyi, you brat, look what time it is!" Wan Xiaoxiao said furiously.

Jiang Junyi froze. "Why should I look at the time?"

This time, it was Wan Xiaoxiao's turn to go blank.

No, dude.

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

For a moment, Wan Xiaoxiao felt a little wronged.

Suddenly, she felt a large hand cover her head before vigorously ruffling her hair.

"Alright, alright. I know I'm taking you to school. There's still time."

Wan Xiaoxiao slapped Jiang Junyi's hand away and headed out the door.

However, even her footsteps had become a little lighter.

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

He leaned close to Wan Qingyun. "I'll tell you a secret: your mother-in-law wrapped these for you."

After saying that, Jiang Junyi fled as fast as he could, leaving Wan Qingyun's face gradually reddening.

M-Mother-in-law?!

My mother-in-law... wouldn't that be Jiang Junyi's mother...

No, no, no! What mother-in-law? We hadn't reached that stage yet.

But the wontons made by Mom were really delicious too...

Pah! She isn't Mom yet.

Wan Qingyun happily ate the wontons. Zhao Ningyu had chosen the filling, and together with Jiang Junyi's cooking, they were so delicious that she practically wanted to swallow her tongue.

Her body even swayed slightly...

Over here.

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

The moment she got in, Uncle Wu called her "Second Miss," making the girl blush outright.

As a result, she sat quietly in the car, seemingly trying to live up to the title of Second Miss.

"Say, why are you so quiet?" Jiang Junyi sat in the passenger seat and turned back curiously.

"Of course. I've always been this gentle and refined, okay?" Wan Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

"Tch. You were so gentle and refined when you threw that flying kick too~" Jiang Junyi said sarcastically.

"Jiang Junyi!"

Thunk.

Jiang Junyi shot forward with lightning speed and flicked Wan Xiaoxiao on the forehead.

"Ow! Why did you hit me?"

"Call me Brother-in-law!"

"I won't!"

"I'll give you spending money."

"I won't... How much?" Wan Xiaoxiao leaned forward.

Jiang Junyi held up one finger.

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

"Ten thousand."

"H-How much?!"

"Ten. Thousand."

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

Making money wasn't embarrassing.

A sinister smile curled across Jiang Junyi's lips. "Take out your phone. I'll transfer it right away."

"Okay!"

Wan Xiaoxiao excitedly rummaged through her backpack. Uncle Wu smiled faintly beside them and could not help shaking his head.

As expected of Young Master. He really had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Very quickly, Wan Xiaoxiao pulled out a phone with a somewhat cracked screen, opened her payment QR code, and looked at Jiang Junyi expectantly.

Jiang Junyi did not break his promise. He transferred ten thousand yuan to her right in front of her.

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

Huh?

Jiang Junyi waved the phone around. "Alright, from now on, this phone is confiscated. Study properly, and when the time comes, how about Brother-in-law gets you a better phone?"

Wan Xiaoxiao said nothing. She was still frozen.

It was a trap! It was all a trap!

"No! After school, I'll call the landline at home and let Sister know!" Wan Xiaoxiao argued reasonably.

"I'm already taking you to and from school. What are you calling for?" Jiang Junyi asked in return.

"This..." Wan Xiaoxiao was briefly at a loss for words. It seemed...

This was actually safer.

Jiang Junyi then added, "And even if I'm busy, Uncle Wu will still pick you up on time. You can rest assured about that."

"Yes, Second Miss."

Wan Xiaoxiao, who had been about to flare up, suppressed it again the moment she heard the words "Second Miss."

"Hmph! You said it!"

"My word is my bond."

Wan Xiaoxiao curled her lips and leaned back against the seat with her arms folded.

Jiang Junyi carefully examined Wan Xiaoxiao's worn-out phone.

It was a very old phone, probably from around five years ago—back when Wan Xiaoxiao had just started middle school.

This showed that the two sisters' lives had not been very good before.

That small Western-style house had most likely been left behind by their parents before they died.

One disabled blind girl and one child.

Jiang Junyi did not even dare imagine how much hardship the two had endured to grow up this far.

A look of pity appeared on his face. Of course, he mainly felt sorry for Wan Qingyun.

Wan Xiaoxiao only got some sympathy as a bonus.

After a while, the gates of Jiang City No. 1 High School came into view.

The black luxury car slowly drove up, instantly becoming the focus of every student at the school gate. They all began guessing which family's young miss it belonged to.

Just as Wan Xiaoxiao wanted to open the door and get out, Uncle Wu beat her to it. He opened the door for her and placed a hand over the doorframe to protect her.

For a moment, she actually felt a little shy.

As Wan Xiaoxiao got out of the car, every student's gaze turned toward her.

However, she was naturally lively and outgoing. She lifted her chin, looking like a proud little swan.

Jiang Junyi got out as well, and everyone's attention shifted to this imposing, ridiculously handsome man.

"Remember, study hard."

"Got it, got it!" Wan Xiaoxiao answered as she headed toward the school gate.

Her steps were light, and her body swayed as she walked.

It was obvious that the girl was overjoyed.

Jiang Junyi shook his head and returned to the car. "Let's go back! I haven't had enough time being lovey-dovey with my darling Qingyun yet!"
