Jun Zishen was powerless at that ti and he knew the nature of his parents so he did what he was capable of. He distanced his family from himself to protect them from dangers.
And his thod seed to have worked as Jun Family did not co after Shen Lihua or her kids.
Yu i did not approve of Jun Zishen's way of doing things but putting herself in his shoe, she realized that he did his best to protect his little family.
Feeling a gaze on her, she flipped on the bed only to find Jun Zixuan leaning against the door.
''W-When did you co?" She felt a little guilty without any reason. Wasn't he in the study? Did he overhear her conversation with his father?
''When you were playing the cupid,'' He raked his fingers through his already ssy hair before walking towards the couch as he picked up his file and turned around to leave.
''Are you angry?" He paused at her words and Yu i got off the bed before she walked towards him.
''Why do you think so?" He turned around to look at her.
''You didn't kiss before you turned around to leave the room....'' She was very sensitive to his words and his actions, ''Even if you act a little different, I feel you don't love anymore,''?She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck before pressing her forehead on his lips.
The corner of his lips twitched. ''Didn't you say that I only think about sleeping with you all the ti?" He pushed her buttons a little, ''Don't you think you are the one responsible for seducing like this? As the saying goes, it all starts with a harmless touch.''
''Why have I not heard of such a saying?" She laughed, ''I don't mind you sleeping with though!" She smiled provocatively.
This little troublemaker. He pursed his lips. Wasn't she being all gutsy just because she is on her period?
Yu i stood up properly before holding his hand, ''You don't bla for supporting father, do you?" She was pretty sure that he overheard their conversation.
As he did not say anything, she went on, ''In fact, considering the nature of Old Master Jun and Old Madam Jun, after you all left the Jun Manor, they might have arranged countless beauties for father in hopes of getting him married again. But Boyan remains the youngest child and as per my investigations, Father did not have entanglents with any woman after mother-in-law. And just the ntion of her brightens his cold face. Don't you think he really loves her?"
''He was a coward,'' Jun Zixuan emotionlessly said.
''And he got the punishnt for his cowardice when he stayed away from his family, drowning himself in loneliness and spending the years in the company of toxic people like his parents. Back then, he was weak while compared to the great Jun Family but now he holds the most power and nobody in the family would be able to go against him. Do you know what that ans?"
He did not respond.
''All this ti, he wanted to co back to you all. It just took him a long ti to...''
''Can we stop discussing him?" He placed a kiss on the tip of her nose, ''Go to sleep if you are tired and you can have lunch when you are hungry. Your cake is in the refrigerator. I have so work to deal with. I will be going out after so ti.''
She did not respond to him and he did not speak anything else as he turned around and left.
Yu i blinked.
She dragged herself to bed before she plopped on it like a boneless fish, ''Go Go Go! You mother and son are so alike. You obviously don't hate him as much as your face says,'' She decided to not bring up Jun Zishen in any conversation in the future.
Wait...
Since her words make him so upset that he did not even bother to kiss her twice or thrice before leaving, she would rather not talk at all.
...
In the night.
Jun Zixuan and Yu i sat at the far ends of the couch while waiting for everyone to co.
Yu i quietly read the magazine in her hand.
Jun Zixuan stopped fiddling with his iPad as he placed it on the couch before inching closer to her, ''i?"
''Yes?" She replied without looking at him.
''Your hair looks beautiful today,'' He played with the long strands of her dark hair.
''They look beautiful 24X7,'' She tilted her head and threw her magazine to the side. Rolling the sleeves of her black hoodie, she turned to the side and folded her arms in front of her chest, ''Are you trying to coax though?''
Before he could respond, she shook her head, ''I am not angry.''
He glanced at her doubtfully, ''For real?" As she nodded, he sighed, ''I just don't want to talk about him.'' He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles.
''I was also not trying to change your opinion about him. I was just stating my point,'' She poked his chest, ''But you are a weird man who ignores when things don't go your way.''
"I never ignored you. I really had so work," He laughed sheepishly but just as he was about to speak, sothing caught his attention.
Yu i followed his gaze and her jaws dropped. ''I... did I miss sothing?" She mumbled as she watched Mia and Han Jian Yu entering the mansion, talking and laughing with each other.
Jun Zixuan was a bit speechless, ''I guess we did,'' Interest flashed in his eyes.
And here he was thinking of how to ta this unruly brother-in-law!
Yu i noticed how Mia slapped Han Jian Yu's shoulder while laughing about sothing he whispered in his ear. She pushed herself to her feet, ready to protect Mia but surprisingly, her brother's reaction was not violent like she had imagined. He did not seem to be offended.
He just... laughed more and... and he tucked Mia's hair behind her ear.
Yu i turned to look at Jun Zixuan in disbelief. Her seven world views suddenly ca crashing down. Is it still her brother?
''He is still your brother,'' Jun Zixuan whispered as if he could read her mind. He pushed himself to his feet ready to welco them.
A cunning glint flickered in his eyes.
