Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

What did he see?

The little sister actually lay in Song Jinbai's arms and played with his face!

Ji Chuan's heart was exploded.

Imagine being away from home for a month and coming back to find your house has been robbed. Who wouldn’t be furious?

"Ji Xiaonuan!!! Come here!"

He roared loudly, as if calling "Ji Xiaonuan" one more word than "Ji Nuan" would make his momentum ten feet higher.

Ji Nuan turned around and saw her third brother with an angry face, and quickly stepped out of Song Jinbai's arms.

so awkward!

I really want to die again!

Ji Chuan reached out to pull Ji Nuan away from Song Jinbai, but Song Jinbai pulled Ji Nuan behind him first and stood in front of Ji Nuan in a protective posture.

This action undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making Ji Chuan even angrier.

Song Jinbai is so shameless that he even dares to pull his sister in front of him!

With this attitude, was he worried that he would hit his little sister? She was his own sister, and if he was going to hit her, it would be him.

"Song Jinbai! Let my sister go!" Ji Chuan glared at him.

Song Jinbai did not flinch. He held Ji Nuan's hand tightly and looked at Ji Chuan firmly: "Third brother Ji, I hope you can understand my feelings towards Nuan'er..."

"Shut up!" Ji Chuan was afraid that he would say something shocking again, so he interrupted him harshly. He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone: "Nuannuan, come to Third Brother."

Song Jinbai held Ji Nuan's hand tightly, hesitating whether to confess his plan to Ji Chuan, but seeing Ji Chuan's face that clearly refused to talk, he finally chose to remain silent.

Ji Nuan gently scratched the palm of his hand, signaling him to let go first.

Although Song Jinbai was reluctant, he slowly let go of Ji Nuan's hand.

Ji Nuan walked up to Ji Chuan and called out obediently, "Third Brother."

Ji Chuan looked at her, his eyes revealing a hint of blame, but more of concern.

"Do you still remember the Book of Rites that your third brother taught you to read when you were a child?" This sentence seemed to be asked to Ji Nuan, but it was actually said to Song Jinbai, intending to remind him to pay attention to etiquette.

"You are a grown-up girl now. You can't play with a group of boys and girls like you did when you were a child." Ji Chuan continued.

His words clearly meant that Ji Nuan was still young and that their actions had been too intimate, like when children played together regardless of gender. At the same time, he was also reminding Song Jinbai not to take it too seriously. The intimate actions between him and Ji Nuan just now were not real, and he would not approve of them.

Song Jinbai felt sad. Ji Chuan was warning him not to have any false thoughts about Ji Nuan.

Fortunately, Song Huai arrived with the Ji family at this time, just like a breeze, blowing away the previous stagnant atmosphere.

Song Jinbai quickly adjusted his attitude and warmly invited everyone to take a seat, as if the previous unpleasantness with Ji Chuan had never happened.

Men and women sat at two separate tables. The women gathered together and listened to the two children excitedly sharing the new things they had just seen, while the men talked endlessly about Ji Chuan who had just returned home.

Song Jinbai would chat with Ji Chuan from time to time, seemingly as if nothing had happened, and no one noticed anything unusual between him and Ji Chuan.

The dishes were served quickly.

Song Jinbai stood up and filled the glasses of wine for everyone sitting at the table. He also took the opportunity to glance at Ji Nuan.

Although the movement was subtle, it did not escape Ji Chuan's eyes.

Ji Chuan kept staring at Song Jinbai, and when he saw him making some small movements, the anger in his heart was ignited again.

He felt that Song Jinbai was deliberately challenging his bottom line.

It is very rare for ordinary people to come to Tianshangxian for a meal. It was also the first time for the Ji family to come, so everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

During the meal, Ji Chuan and Song Jinbai had several silent battles at the table.

Ji Chuan's eyes were like sharp blades, cast at Song Jinbai again and again, as if they were going to turn into substance and pierce through him.

Although Song Jinbai kept smiling on the surface and talked and laughed with Ji's father, he was under tremendous pressure in his heart.

Even when they parted for the last time, Ji Chuan did not forget to secretly glare at Song Jinbai.

As it was getting late, the Ji family was not in a hurry to return to Taohua Village tonight and decided to stay at the Ji residence in Elm Lane for one night.

The streets were still bustling with activity and brightly lit. Ji He and his wife looked at each other and decided to go shopping before returning home.

Ji Chuan used the excuse that he had business matters to discuss with Ji Nuan, and got on the same carriage with Ji Nuan.

The two carriages that Ji's father and his family had taken when they came were now just enough for Ji Shan's family of four, one for Ji's father and mother, and one for Ji's mother.

As soon as Ji Nuan settled down in the carriage, she was greeted by Ji Chuan, who looked like a worried old father. He asked earnestly, "Sister, what are you thinking?"

Ji Nuan, on the other hand, put on a playful smile and imitated his tone, saying, "Brother, I didn't think much of it."

"Ji Xiaonuan!" Ji Chuan couldn't help but yell, then quickly lowered his voice. This kind of thing shouldn't be publicized, lest outsiders hear it. "Can you please talk to Third Brother nicely?"

Seeing that Ji Chuan was really angry, Ji Nuan quickly tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Don't be angry, Third Brother. I saw that you were unhappy just now, so I tried to cheer you up on purpose."

"I don't want you to make me happy!" Ji Chuan sighed. "You seem to be quite smart and prudent in your work. How come you can't see that Song Jinbai has evil intentions towards you?"

Ji Nuan lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I can see it."

"Did you see that? And you're still putting your hand on his face!" Ji Chuan was so angry that he couldn't stop. "Do you know that noble families like theirs all have many wives and concubines? Although our family is rich now, we are still not a good match compared to them. Do you want to go to the Song family to be his concubine? I tell you, I will not agree no matter what!"

Ji Nuan was a little amused and confused when she heard this: "Third brother, are you thinking too much?"

"Isn't that his intention? Then why did he approach you?" It was so obvious. Ji Chuan didn't believe that Song Jinbai was not planning to abduct his younger sister.

He calmed down and analyzed the situation with Ji Nuan in detail: "Nuan Nuan, I have to tell you that life in a wealthy family is not easy. If you marry into an ordinary family like us, if you are bullied one day, I, your third brother, will go to your house and seek justice for you without saying a word. But think about it, if you marry into a family like Song Jinbai, they have a huge influence and many rules. If you are wronged in the future, even if your family wants to support you, they will probably be powerless."

Ji Nuan gently leaned her head against Ji Chuan's shoulder, feeling warm in her heart.

The third brother is sincerely thinking about her, fearing that she will suffer any injustice in the future. He loves and protects her just like her cousin in her previous life.
