All of a sudden, the atmosphere felt strained.

When Jian Yunnao heard the sound of movement, he noticed that Jian Yiling had returned. His body moved an inch before the expression on his face visibly stiffened.

However, he didnt look up. He continued to play on his phone. He pretended that Jian Yiling didnt exist.

Wen Nuan gazed at her daughter longingly. She hadnt seen her for such a long time. When she saw her daughters slim figure, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Her eyes dampened.

Jian Shuxing and Jian Yunchengs expressions were also quite solemn.

Grandma Jian couldnt help but sigh internally. It was difficult for her to see the family like this.

As an elder, she naturally hoped that the family got along together. She wanted everyone to be safe and happy.

But alas, things dont always turn out the way you hope. She couldnt do anything about it either.

Initially, He Yan wanted to watch the drama erupt. However, now that Master Sheng had arrived, her focus was entirely on him.

She had met Master Sheng again! And once again, it was at the Old Jian Residence.

For a moment, she felt that maybe it would be a good idea to send her son to stay with his grandparents for a while.

Even if Jian Yujie only managed to have a couple of meals together with Master Sheng on the weekends, theyd still be able to chat a few times. As a result, he could leave a good impression on Master Sheng. That would eventually be of great help to Yujie in the future.

Jian Yujie broke the silence that had settled. He quickly walked over to Jian Yiling. He stood deliberately in between Jian Yiling and Master Sheng.

Then he smiled at Jian Yiling and said, Yiling, thank you for your gift. I really really like it!

As he said it, he winked at Jian Yiling. It appeared as though there was a secret in between them that only the two of them knew.

Yeah, Jian Yiling responded.

It was good that he liked the gift.

Jian Yujie leaned in and whispered into Jian Yilings ear, Are you carrying the self-defense equipment with you?

Yes. She brought the pepper spray with her.

Remember that if anyone suddenly approaches you, use it on them! As Jian Yujie spoke, he glanced at Zhai Yunsheng from the corner of his eye. It seemed as though his message was targeted.

Yeah, Jian Yiling replied.

The two of them whispered to each other.

It seemed as though Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie got along extremely well.

Compared to her brothers by blood, Jian Yiling seemed closer to her cousin.

He Yan turned around and snapped at the servants, Hurry. Go and help Mr. Zhai and Mr. Yu with their bags. What are you standing around for? Everyone here is a guest. We shouldnt ask the guests to be carrying things!

When the servants heard He Yans words, they hurried forward to take the bags from Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi.

However, before they arrived, Zhai Yunsheng had already turned around and started heading towards the kitchen. He brought Jian Yiling away as well.

Lets go and prepare the ingredients.

With a simple sentence, Jian Yiling was taken away to the kitchen.

Jian Yiling didnt pause to think about the situation. The ingredients that they had bought were fresh. It was important to prepare the ingredients when fresh. She had to marinade, slice, and dice.

This was the first time that Jian Yiling had seen her parents ever since she left the Jian Residence.

She behaved quite calmly.

There were no complaints or objections.

When Jian Yujie saw what had just happened, he quickly followed his sister.

He couldnt let Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng be alone in the kitchen!

He Yans words had gotten utterly rejected by Zhai Yunsheng. There was no room for objection.

If someone else had rejected her like that, shed probably hold a grudge against them. However, since it was Zhai Yunsheng, she felt that it was completely normal.

However, He Yan felt anxious that Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling seemed quite close.
