1489 Meeting Openly
Xia Wei retracted his gaze from Xia Wanyuan and sized Yu Qian up for a second before nodding at him. “Please come in.”
Yu Qian strode forward and Xia Wanyuan followed. Xia Wei walked beside them and could not help but turn to look at Xia Wanyuan.
When he arrived at the living room and looked at the furnishings in the living room, a deep look flashed across Yu Qian’s eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “The decoration style in this living room is what my wife likes, don’t you think?”
Xia Wanyuan ignored the dark look in Yu Qian’s eyes. She sat on a chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
The top-notch green mountain tea was added with a few petals after the rain. There was a fragrance in the bitterness, which was Xia Wanyuan’s habit in her previous life.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s cold side profile, for some reason, an unknown anger surged in Yu Qian’s heart. He looked at Xia Wei. “How should I address you?”
“Xia Wei.” Xia Wei did not hide it anymore. He looked straight into Yu Qian’s eyes and released the emperor’s aura that he had deliberately concealed. It was vaguely like a tall mountain, surprising Yu Qian.
“As expected of her younger brother.” The corners of Yu Qian’s lips twitched.
As if he was not surprised that Yu Qian knew his identity, Xia Wei calmly welcomed Yu Qian’s scrutiny.
Since the matter had been exposed, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it anymore. She looked at Xia Wei. She clearly had many things to say, but when the words reached her mouth, they only became, “Are you okay?”
However, it was this sentence that made the eyes of an emperor who could carry the entire country with his shoulders turn red.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was by Xia Wanyuan’s side. Xia Wanyuan was the eldest sister and had brought them through the chaotic world. Xia Wanyuan had used all sorts of methods to raise them.
Xia Wei nodded. “Mm.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Wei seemed to be unable to hold it in anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s wrist. He squatted in front of Xia Wanyuan and looked at her quietly.
Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch Xia Wei’s head, a sincere smile in her eyes. “Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to lie?”
Xia Wei was raised by Xia Wanyuan alone. She knew Xia Wei too well.
The current Xia Wei was much more mature than when she left. Even if he tried his best to hide it, he could not hide the sharp blades and aura in his eyes.
These things would not appear out of thin air. Xia Wanyuan was thinking about what the entire country had experienced after she left back then. It had actually caused Xia Wei to become like this.
Xia Wei was so smart that he could tell what Xia Wanyuan was thinking at a glance. He smiled at her, like how he had always leaned into her arms when he was young in his previous life. “Sister, I’m very happy to see you again.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Me too.”
Yu Qian stood at the side and watched coldly. His gaze swept across the two of them holding hands. “The relationship between siblings is really touching. I wonder how Miss Chu Man will react if she finds out that her right-hand man is my wife’s younger brother??”
Xia Wei could hear the warning in Yu Qian’s words, but he was unmoved. “Of course you don’t have to worry about this.”
Yu Qian did not say anything else. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. “I have a gala later. Let’s go.”
Hearing Yu Qian say that he was leaving, Xia Wei frowned. He looked at Xia Wanyuan, who gently pressed his wrist. Only then did Xia Wei stand up. “Sister, let me send you.”
“Mm.”
At this moment, outside the door, the people Chu Man had sent were constantly pressing the shutter and sending back photos.
