"My sister has been wandering alone for many years, lacking discipline, and with a stubborn temperament, which must have been amusing to elder brother Hua."
Shen Huanian, taunted by Xia Chenyu, was full of suppressed anger. Upon hearing the man in the Tang attire inquire, he had to restrain his ire and managed to squeeze out a strained smile.
"If I had such a beautiful and ethereal sister, I would be too busy cherishing and caring for her, how could I bear to reprimand her? No offense, brother Shen, but your brotherly duties are seriously lacking!"
The man in the Tang attire, with a hearty laugh, walked up to Xia Chenyu and reached out to her proactively: "Hello, sister Chenyu, my name is Hua Yi. I am a good friend of your brother."
As Hua Yi spoke, his eyes were fixed intently on Xia Chenyu, sharp as if they could see through one's heart, emanating an imposing aura.
This aura imposed great pressure on Xia Chenyu, making even her breathing momentarily stifled.
