Ming Shu didn’t have the time to grab Ye West Wind.
Jian Shu found them.
Jian Shu scolded Ye West Wind with a black face and took them into the car.
Ming Shu ate her snacks calmly and indifferently while Ye West Wind sat in the passengers’ seat, frightened.
Jian Shu brought them out for a meal.
The location was a famous restaurant in the city.
Ye West Wind was rich, but he was still in school so his family didn’t give him a lot of pocket money.
“Xixi, how do you feel?”
“Not bad.” The food in the school didn’t taste good but the food outside wasn’t bad.
“Is your body fine?”
“Yes.”
“If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Don’t make us worry about you.”
Ye West Wind flipped through the menu noisily.
“Order the food properly.” Jian Shu looked over.
“.……”
When Jian Shu finished his questions, Ye West Wind had ordered all the dishes.
“Brother Jian Shu, how long will you stay here for?”
Jian Shu glanced at him. “Why?”
Ye West Wind rubbed his head. “That old man in my family is having his birthday soon. I want you to help me find a suitable present from the antique market.”
“Half a month.”
“So long?” Ye West Wind was shocked.
“There are specialists in heart diseases coming from overseas to have an academic exchange in our city’s hospital. I will bring Xixi for a regular checkup at the same time. I should be free this Saturday. Come over to our house this Saturday.”
Ming Shu: “.……”
Ye West Wind: “.……”
……
On Saturday, Ye West Wind came over early in the morning.
Mother Jian was at home too so she made a whole table of breakfast. Ye West Wind was so bloated, but Ming Shu just drank her milk slowly at the side.
“Xixi, you should eat more. You’re too skinny.”
“Aunt, don’t you think that she is eating too much?” Ye West Wind pointed at the empty plates on the table.
Mother Jian looked at the empty plates and said lovingly, “I will make more food for you tomorrow.”
Ming Shu put her palms together. “Thank you, Mother.”
Ye West Wind: “.……”
Mother Jian was really happy that Jian Xi ate so much. “You can go change after you finish your milk. I added some new clothes to your wardrobe so you can make yourself look prettier when you go out.”
In the past, her baby didn’t eat anything. She was so worried then.
“Mother, Xixi really ate too much today.”
Jian Shu tied his tie as he walked down.
Ye West Wind nodded profusely. Finally, someone normal.
“Xixi is still growing. What is wrong with eating a lot? Your father can afford to raise her.” Although she ate a lot now, her body was getting better.
“I don’t mean it that way……” Jian Shu saw Ming Shu’s threatening eyes and didn’t dare to continue. “Cough. Are you done? If you’re done, you can go and change your clothes.”
Ye West Wind: “.……”
……
The antique market was in the center of the city. It took up a few streets and there were a lot of people on the weekend. Jian Shu protected Ming Shu and let her walk in the center.
There were both fake and real antiques here.
Someone found an antique worth over a few million dollars her before.
Thus, it all depends on your ability and luck.
When Jian Shu was young, he was interested in antiques. Hence, he specially went to learn from a master for a period of time. Although he was not in this trade, he had better knowledge as compared to the layman.
Ye West Wind wanted to buy a painting, but real antique paintings cost a lot.
Hence, Ye West Wind was not very hopeful, either.
They walked one round but didn’t see any paintings that they wanted to buy.
In the end, Ye West Wind decided to go back to the store they just came out from and buy a vase.
This store had its own storefront. It was clean and bright.
There were people looking around at the foyer. Ming Shu glanced around and suddenly stopped.
“Miss, this is the most prized treasure of our stall. If you want to get it, you have to be fast.” The owner of the shop was showing off his products to his customer.
There were two groups of people in the foyer. Two old men were standing near the racks while a man and a woman stood at the counter.
The man was around the same age as Jian Shu. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles and looked a little impatient.
He noticed someone coming so he looked over naturally. He shifted his gaze away but looked back again quickly. He pushed his glasses up. “Young Master Jian.”
This term was a little weird. Even an outsider could hear the evil intentions in the voice.
“People from the Han family,” Ye West Wind whispered into Ming Shu’s ears. “They are your family’s competitors.”
Ming Shu attention was not on the member of the Han family. She was focused on Li Meng. Li Meng was the girl that was standing beside him.
Li Meng didn’t manage to cling onto the Host so she found someone else.
No matter how the storyline changed, the protagonist would always walk in the same direction.
Li Meng saw Ming Shu too. As compared to when she was in the village, Li Meng was more mature now. She saw Ming Shu but pretended that she didn’t know her.
“This is?” Han Ying greeted Jian Shu politely before looking at Ming Shu. “I heard that Young Master Jian has a younger sister. Is she the daughter of the Jian family that was always hidden?”
Their faces were so similar, Han Ying knew that this was the Jian family’s princess that they always kept away.
Jian Shu pulled Ming Shu behind him. “What is the matter?”
“Why are you so nervous. I am trying to get to know her. Little girl, what do you think?” Han Ying tilted his head and looked at Ming Shu.
Han Ying narrowed his eyes. This little girl was really pretty.
The man’s gaze was blatant. He didn’t have any sexual desire in his eyes, but there was a strange evil intention in it.
Maybe it was because she was Jian Shu’s younger sister.
Or maybe this person was a psychopath……
Whatever the reason was, Ming Shu just knew that he had evil intentions toward her. The reason was not important.
Ming Shu replied with a bright smile. “I am not interested in making friends with the inhumane.”
Han Ying’s expression turned dark. However, it disappeared in an instant.
“Han Ying!” Jian Shu grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him. He warned Han Ying, “If you dare to do anything to her, I will not let you off easy.”
Han Ying pulled himself away from Jian Shu. He smiled. “Your little sister is so pretty. If I was Young Master Jian, I would probably keep her at home too.”
Jian Shu punched him.
Han Ying flew back and slammed into the counter behind him. The owner let out a gasp and hurriedly hugged the blue and white porcelain vase on the counter.
Li Meng went up and held onto Han Ying. “Are you okay?”
Han Ying retracted his hand.
Li Meng stood awkwardly. She didn’t know where she should place her arms and legs.
Han Ying didn’t seem to find anything amiss. He wiped the blood off his mouth corners and took off the gold-rimmed glasses to wipe them. “This is rare. I have not seen Young Master Jian flare up in such a long time. Seems like…… this little sister is very important to you.”
Jian Shu looked at him coldly.
Han Ying put on his glasses. “I am in a rush today so I will not talk to your little sister. We will chat another day.”
He turned and looked at the owner. “I will take the two items.”
Ming Shu ate the meatball in her hand slowly as she waited for them to pay their bill. She watched Han Ying and Li Meng as they left.
