Lan Yue unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and called the butler. He instructed calmly, “Get rid of the woman beside me.”


  The butler was silent for a few seconds before he replied, “Yes.”


  Tang Wu ended the video call with Little Candy and was about to lie on the bed to watch TV when there was a knock on the door.

  Opening the door, the butler was standing there.

  “Miss Tang, I’m sorry. Our Young Master is back. He doesn’t like people staying next to him.”


  Tang Wu immediately understood. “Okay, if possible, I want to go back to the hotel.” Without waiting for the butler to say anything, Tang Wu said, “I’ll tell Jing Qian when I return to the hotel.”


  If she told Jing Qian now, she might get into a conflict with this Young Master.

  The butler nodded. “I’ll send Miss Tang out.”


  Lan Yue poured himself a glass of wine and walked to the balcony. Swirling the wine glass, his dark eyes swept downstairs.

  A slender figure got into the car and the butler closed the door.

  Lan Yue was slightly stunned as he swirled his wine glass.

  Was he seeing things?

  If not, why would she think that the slender figure in the car looked like that woman?

  He looked up and downed the liquid in the glass. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, looking extremely sexy.

  After standing on the balcony for a while, he returned to his room to take a shower.

  He put on his pajamas and went downstairs with his phone.

  At the corner of the second floor, she met Jing Qian, who was coming out of the study.

  They were both slightly surprised when their eyes met. Jing Qian thought that Lan Yue was still in Milan.

  Jing Qian always had some respect for her second brother who had only returned to the family three years ago.

  When he had just returned, she had even laughed at him with several young masters from the branch families. Later, when she saw how he had dealt with those young masters but had not touched her at all, she felt that he had been especially kind to her.

  Her eldest brother was not her biological son. To her grandfather, who valued bloodline, only her second brother had the final say in this family.

  That was why Jing Qian did not dare to provoke him anymore.

  Jing Qian pursed her lips and went forward to greet Lan Yue. “Second Brother.” Then, she ran to the third floor.

  Lan Yue looked at Jing Shao’s back and seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his dark eyes slightly. “What are you going to do?”


  “My boss lives on the third floor. I’ll go find her.”


  “Your boss?” Lan Yue’s well-defined face was slightly cold and sharp, his voice cold and indifferent. “The woman who was with you in Milan?”


  Jing Qian was stunned.

  F*ck, Second Brother actually saw her in Milan?

  She had been lying to herself that he had not noticed her!

  Jing Qian touched her head. “Y-Yes, she’s very good to me. Big Brother also agreed to invite her to our house.”


  Lan Yue’s expression changed.

  He went past Jing Qian and went upstairs.

  Pushing open the guest room door, she looked inside.

  The woman was no longer inside. There was a faint familiar and unfamiliar fragrance in the air.

  When Jing Qian came up, Lan Yue was already walking downstairs.

  Lan Yue found the butler in the living room. “Which hotel is the woman you sent to the car at?”


  Before the butler could say anything, Lan Yue waved his hand again. “Forget it. You don’t have to tell me.”


  Lan Yue entered the kitchen with a cold expression and took out a bottle of mineral water from the fridge. He looked up and finished it in one go.

  It seemed like that was the only way to calm the turmoil in her heart.

  Jing Qian rushed downstairs. “Butler, where’s my boss?”


  “She went back to the hotel.”


  “Why?” The moment Jing Qian finished speaking, she received a call from Tang Wu.

  A few minutes later, Jing Qian went upstairs disappointed.

  Tang Wu did not stay here for long. While Jing Qian was settling her visa, she returned to the capital first.

  Jing Qian got Jing Shen to help her get a visa very quickly.

  The day Jing Qian got her visa was Jing Shen’s thirtieth birthday.

  When Big Brother was still the Young Master, the Old Master would take a liking to him on his birthday every year.

  But ever since he found out that Big Brother was not related to him by blood, he had not held a birthday party for him.

  Jing Qian still had some feelings for Jing Shen. After all, they had grown up together. Even if they were not related by blood, she still treated him as her older brother.

  Jing Qian called Jing Shen and invited him to eat at a high-end restaurant.

  Jing Shen agreed.

  Unfortunately, she met Lan Yue and Ji Shuang’er the moment she entered the restaurant.

  Ji Shuang’er was the fiancée Lan Yue had decided on after he returned to the family.

  Ji Shuang’er was a famous painter. She looked exquisite and had a retro artistic aura. She was three years older than Lan Yue, but when the two of them sat together, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They looked like an exquisite painting.

  They were quite compatible. Jing Qian glanced at Jing Shen beside her. “Big Brother, I didn’t know Second Brother and Sister Shuang’er were here. How about we go somewhere else?”


  The Ji and Jing family had long been engaged. Before Jing Shen’s status had changed, he and Ji Shuang’er had been the ones engaged.

  Jing Qian did not know if Jing Shen and Ji Shuang’er had any feelings for each other, but to be honest, it was really awkward for them to go from fiancé to brother-in-law.

  Jing Shen looked at the man and woman who were chatting happily and he said, “No need.” Ji Shuang’er could see the entrance of the restaurant from where she was sitting. When she saw Jing Shen and Jing Qian, she let Lan Yue know before she stood up and walked towards them.

  She called them to a table. The four of them had a meal together.

  After eating, Jing Qian took Jing Shen’s car back.

  She pouted. “Sister Shuang’er seems to like Second Brother quite a bit.”


  Jing Shen hummed.

  ….

  In the private plane.

  Ji Shuang’er raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man who had his legs crossed elegantly and was looking down at his documents. She asked with a smile, “I’m a little curious. Why are you suddenly going to my art exhibition and the Capital, which is the second last stop of the world tour?”


  “Are you going to meet an old friend?” Ji Shuang’er was born noble and when she smiled, it was a faint smile, elegant and dignified.

  Lan Yue looked up from the document, his dark eyes landing on Ji Shuang’er. “I’m just accompanying you.”


  Ji Shuang’er pursed her lips and smiled. “Who would believe that?”


  After arriving at the capital, the two of them rested in the hotel for the night.

  The next day, Ji Shuang’er pulled Lan Yue to the mall.

  “There are a few loyal fans here at the art exhibition tomorrow. They’ve been my fans for many years. I have to give them some gifts.” Ji Shuang’er was choosing things in the mall and Lan Yue did not follow her in. He went to the smoking area. His tall body leaned against the wall, the cigarette between his fingers and the smoke blurred his well-defined face. After some time, a soft voice sounded.

  “Handsome Uncle…”


  Lan Yue looked down and saw the little girl who had appeared by his leg. The little girl was exquisite like a porcelain doll and looked delicate. She was wearing a fluffy princess dress and was blinking her glass-like eyes at him.
