Pei Qinshan felt a pang of guilt wash over him, but there was nothing he could do. He reached out, ruffling Pei Xingcheng's hair affectionately. "I'm sorry, Xingcheng. I'm only trying to protect you."
"I know." Pei Xingcheng sighed.
Just then, the door opened and a head poked in. His eyebrows shot up in surprise upon catching sight of her beauty. He couldn't help but wonder who she was and why she was intruding upon his space.
"Ah, you're awake," she said, walking into the room and standing beside his brother. "You had us all worried, Xingcheng, especially Brother Qinshan. It's such a relief to see you looking well. Has the doctor seen you yet?"
"No," Pei Xingcheng murmured, his gaze flitting back to the stunning woman, his curiosity piqued. Suddenly, his eyes shifted from her to his brother and a sudden realization dawned on him. Immediately, his eyes lit up and a big smile appeared on his face.
