4 – Is It Better Now?
Then, with lightning speed, she planted a firm kiss on her younger brother’s cheek.
The little cub was clearly stunned, touching the spot where he had been kissed.
Shi Luo was somewhat dazed, looking at Shi Yuan who had always been quite annoyed with him before…
What was wrong with Shi Yuan? Why did she suddenly kiss him?
Although he didn’t particularly dislike it, he still found it strange…
As he thought about it, Shi Luo’s little cheeks puffed up.
The little cub’s reaction stirred a strong sense of mischief in Shi Yuan.
She curled her lips into a wicked smile.
She pulled her younger brother’s little head into her embrace and gave it a thorough ruffling.
Only when Shi Luo’s hair was tousled to the point of generating static electricity did her conscience finally kick in and she stopped.
Shi Luo looked at the suddenly somewhat crazy Shi Yuan with an expression of utter despair, silently reaching out his small hand to straighten his crooked collar.
Shi Yuan paid no mind to Shi Luo’s inner turmoil. Holding her brother’s soft little hand, she led him to his bedroom.
She rummaged through her brother’s suitcase and pulled out several sets of clothes.
Looking at the obviously too-small clothes on the bed, Shi Yuan fell into deep thought once again.
It seemed she would need to buy the little cub some decent clothes.
After reluctantly selecting one set that was still wearable and helping Shi Luo change into it, she planned to take him to the dining room.
But halfway there,
Shi Yuan suddenly remembered the cub’s name.
Shi Luo, Shi Luo…
In the original story, the major villain would be pushed to his death through various events by the original male and female protagonists.
And after the major villain’s death, someone named Shi Luo would take over the villain’s position, becoming the minor villain in the original story…
Thinking of this, Shi Yuan looked down at Shi Luo.
Who would have thought that this soft, milky little child would eventually become a minor villain?!
She had entered a villain’s den!
However…
Looking at the cub who was currently just an adorable child.
Even if he was a villain, so what? Since she had taken him in, she would protect him completely.
With this thought, Shi Yuan extended her mischievous claws and pinched Shi Luo’s cheek.
Watching Shi Luo’s expression of silent resentment, she withdrew her hand in satisfaction.
When she led Shi Luo to the dining room, Jiang Yu was already seated at the table.
As soon as the little cub entered the dining room, he politely greeted Jiang Yu.
“Good morning, brother-in-law.”
The cub’s voice was soft and adorable, but the content…
Brother-in-law…
Shi Yuan secretly glanced at Jiang Yu, and sure enough, the man who had been about to eat breakfast had frozen mid-action.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Yu wasn’t angry. He turned his gaze and smiled at the cub, “Good morning to you too, and…”
He looked up at Shi Yuan, “Good morning, wife.”
Shi Yuan: “…”
But she soon understood why Jiang Yu had said those two words.
She watched as the Old Butler emerged from the kitchen carrying two plates.
Understood.
So it’s about showing off affection? Simple!
Shi Yuan first helped the cub who was struggling to climb onto a chair get seated, then plopped down right next to Jiang Yu, “Husband, my back hurts. Could you massage it for me~”
Before Shi Yuan’s words had even finished, the Old Butler paused in his movement of turning around. He pushed up his glasses as if nothing had happened, then stood beside Shi Luo holding a pot of milk.
Jiang Yu stopped eating. He licked the coffee residue from his lips and, before Shi Yuan could react, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, his fingertips gently kneading.”Feeling better now?”
Shi Yuan felt a bit ticklish from the kneading. She arched her back slightly, gently blocking Jiang Yu’s still-moving fingers.
“Much better, thank you, darling~”
The Old Butler seemed quite pleased with their interaction, returning to the kitchen with a beaming smile.
As soon as the Old Butler left, Shi Yuan prepared to call it quits.
But the moment she shifted, the arm around her waist tightened accordingly.
Shi Yuan looked at Jiang Yu with suspicion.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Yu remained completely at ease, even picking up his coffee for a sip with his other hand.
His sensual thin lips curved into a handsome smile, his demeanor casual yet exuding an ultimate roguish charm.
The man lowered his voice, emitting a deep chuckle.
“When my wife has back pain, of course her husband should massage it a while longer.”
