Last time she had advised Leng Wanqing to stay away from Xia Anying, but she had no idea if the girl had listened.
Then again, considering how Leng Wanqing had blurted out all the things she'd overheard from her to Xia Anying without a second thought, it was likely that her advice had fallen on deaf ears.
It seemed that she'd have to be more on guard against this young miss from now on.
In Xia Sanghuan's eyes, Leng Wanqing was far more difficult to deal with than Xia Anying.
She was Leng Chuanjin's younger sister and one of his closest kin.
No matter how vigilant her second brother was, he'd never be on guard against his own sister.
Moreover, she couldn't bring this up with her second brother on her own initiative.
If she did, wouldn't she be just like the villain in a novel who sowed discord in a family?
She could only be more careful.
Once her mind was occupied with other thoughts, her emotions naturally calmed down.
She let out a sigh and walked out of the study as usual.
On the dining table outside, dinner had been laid out one by one.
Leng Chuanjin and Leng Wanqing were already seated, waiting for her to join them so they could start the meal.
She walked over shyly and took her usual seat.
During her absence, Leng Wanqing had probably been lectured by her second brother again.
After all, the spoiled young miss was pouting and giving her a resentful look.
But she pretended not to notice, keeping her eyes down and concentrating on her nose and heart. After Leng Chuanjin picked up his chopsticks, she focused on her meal.
She didn't know about Leng Wanqing, but after a day of research and skipping lunch, she was absolutely famished.
In just a few short months, she felt that she had matured a great deal.
If it were the her who had just arrived, she would probably have exchanged a hundred glares with Leng Wanqing by now.
The man sitting at the head of the table looked up at the two of them and frowned.
"Wanqing."
"Eat."
These two short sentences fully demonstrated the dignity of the head of the Leng family.
Leng Wanqing reluctantly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to start eating.
She couldn't remember when exactly, but her younger sister had become increasingly difficult to discipline.
In the past, when he scolded her, she would lower her head and listen obediently, and she would try her best to correct her mistakes afterward.
However, when he lectured her today, he always felt that she seemed a bit absent - minded.
Although she seemed more obedient and easier to talk to than before, for some reason, he always had a feeling that her mind was elsewhere.
He thought of Xia Anying this afternoon, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.
However, the two girls who were concentrating on their meals didn't notice the change in his expression. The three of them finished dinner with their own thoughts.
After dinner, Leng Chuanjin and Xia Sanghuan still had some details to discuss about the specific matters regarding the medicine.
The two of them tacitly skipped over Leng Wanqing and went straight back to the study together.
Leng Wanqing stared at Xia Sanghuan's back, grinding her teeth in anger.
What right did this country bumpkin have to be glued to her brother every day?
If someone wanted to be her sister - in - law, they had to be a noble young miss from a well - known family, well - bred and well - educated.
What qualifications did Xia Sanghuan, a country girl, have?
But her brother seemed to be under that girl's spell. Before dinner just now, he even scolded her again because of that girl.
What did he mean by saying that if she didn't watch where she was going, she shouldn't blame others? If that girl hadn't been blocking the doorway, would she have fallen?
However, no matter how much she threw a tantrum in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Otherwise, her elder brother would probably give her a third round of lectures tonight.
She lay on the bed boredly, scrolling through her phone for a while. The servants were silently tidying up the room around her.
Thinking of the time she spent playing with those people outside during the day, she suddenly felt very lonely.
She rolled irritably on the sofa, and the TV show on the TV also became uninteresting.
Finally, having no other choice, she simply went back to her bedroom to go to sleep.
However, just as she finished washing up and was about to go to bed, her phone suddenly received a message.
"Wanqing, is there a little girl around your brother?"
The person who sent the message was one of the male college students she had gone out with today.
She stared at the message in confusion for a while.
"What do you mean? How could there be a little girl around my brother?"
"She's fair - skinned and looks very steady."
Although it was a very brief description, she immediately realized that he was talking about Xia Sanghuan.
She sent a voice message back impatiently.
"What do you want to know this for? What's it to you?"
Hearing her tone, the boy quickly replied.
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just a bit curious."
"After all, not many people can get close to Young Master Leng."
"But she can get so close to him."
Seeing this message, Leng Wanqing felt the blood rush to her head.
"What exactly do you mean by sending these messages?"
She suppressed her anger and sent another voice message.
...
"I think it's better for me to go with you guys tomorrow morning."
After listening to Xia Sanghuan's words, Leng Chuanjin pondered for a moment and then said.
"Are you sure? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow morning?"
"It's just delivering medicine to Jing Zhan. I can spare this little time."
"Moreover, didn't you also say that I should go and see Jing Zhan more often?"
Hearing him say this, the girl smiled.
"Yeah."
"If Jing Zhan can see you in the morning, he'll definitely be in a good mood all day."
"Being in a good mood is an important part of the treatment process."
After this matter was settled, it was almost time to go to bed.
He stood up and looked up at the wall clock.
"If there's nothing else, go to bed early tonight."
"After all, we have a lot to do tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute!"
The girl quickly called out to him from behind.
"That... I need to do acupuncture on you tonight."
After saying this, she lowered her head shyly.
Acupuncture meant undressing.
He looked at the girl's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Then, I'll wait for you in the bedroom?"
"Okay."
After saying that, the girl walked out with her head down, as if she would suffocate if she stayed there for another second.
Just like last night, Leng Chuanjin lay flat on the bed. To avoid embarrassment later, he even took the initiative to unbutton his clothes.
For some reason, there was a hint of shyness in his heart that he hadn't felt last night.
This shyness became even stronger after Xia Sanghuan knocked on the door and came in.
Maybe because he was too sleepy last night and fell asleep before his mind could react.
But tonight was different. He had had enough sleep and was now very much awake to face this situation.
