No one noticed the resentful expression on Yan Yuan’s face, and no one noticed that Yan Yue was clenching her fists in silence too.
On the other hand, Bai Lin had been secretly paying attention to Yan Ming who was not far away.
In Bai Lin’s eyes, his presence was very strong. She always felt that Yan Ming was deliberately looking at her. However, when she looked over, his expression was calm, as if the excessive attention she felt was just her illusion.
“Mr. Xuan Jing, I heard you mention that Xiao Lin is your sister just now? Are you biological siblings?” Elder Mrs. Yan asked.
Xuan Jing nodded slightly. “Xiao Lin’s a very important younger sister to me. She’s a family member I value very much. We’re not related by blood but I’ve long treated her as a family member that I can’t part with in my life.”
“Hahaha.” Elder Mrs. Yan laughed. “If that’s the case, then Xiao Lin and our
Yan family are really connected by fate. She has a good relationship with Ruo’er, and you’re good friends with Ruo’er too. You and your sister should visit us more often in the future.’
Elder Mrs. Yan’s expression was kind. She was happy to see these juniors befriend each other. In fact, she hated to see the younger generation fight with each other.
Thinking of this, she thought of what Yan Yuan had just done at the banquet and could not help but frown.
After hearing Elder Mrs. Yan’s words, Xuan Jing could not help but look at Yan
Ruo.
However, Yan Ruo was sitting very close to Bai Lin. His eyes were glued to Bai Lin as she slowly ate the fruits.
When Bai Lin finished her fruit, he would wipe her fingers with a handkerchief. Bai Lin acted like she was used to this.
Xuan Jings eyes turned slightly cold. He had not seen Bai Lin for a while, but why did it seem like Yan Ruo and her were really close?
These two people seemed to be hiding something from him.
Although Xuan Jing was a reclusive expert, he was not completely uninterested in the secular world. For example, he knew that Bai Lin was participating in a variety show, and he had been keeping in touch with Zhou Guang in private, but Zhou Guang did not tell him about this.
As the banquet neared its end, Xuan Jing found an opportunity to pull Yan Ruo to the side.
“How did you and Xiao Lin meet? What’s your relationship with her now?” Xuan Jing’s tone was very calm, but his expression was very serious.
Yan Ruo also acted as if he was dealing with a serious matter, and answered his question seriously, “At my ice-skating rink. Zhou Guang was there too. He was going to participate in a variety show, so the three of us went together.”
Yan Ruo knew that this was not what Xuan Jing wanted to ask, so he briefly explained the situation to him. Then, his tone became even more serious. “l fell in love with her at first sight.”
Xuan Jing felt his vision go dark for a moment.
His good friend had fallen in love with his own sister?
What the hell was this?
Xiao Lin was the person he coddled in the palm of his hand. The other brothers always said that his indulgence toward Xiao Lin was a little too much. He would coax and praise her for whatever she did. He was also the one who could not accept Xiao Lin getting married and leaving them the most among the brothers. Sometimes, he even felt that he was more like an old father who was worried about his daughter.
Not to mention that Xiao Lin was a person who was very slow when it came to feelings. She always wanted to protect herself with a thick layer of shell. Very few people could really enter her heart. Once she fell in love, it would be a lifetime thing.
How could he not worry? How could he not be anxious?
“You!” The usual calm and elegant expression on Xuan Jings face had disappeared, and in its place was a look of suppressed anger.
He was a man of character, and even though he was angry, he did not look as hateful as the people on the streets.
“Yan Ruo, I treat you as a friend, but you actually dare to make a move on Xiao Lin?!” he asked angrily.
He even began to vent his anger on Zhou Guang. After all, Zhou Guang was also participating in the variety show. Was he really going to watch his sister be snatched away without saying a word?
Even if he couldn’t control Yan Ruo, could he not control Xiao Lin? Had he just watched as someone else brazenly targeted Xiao Lin?
