They suddenly went quiet.
Ling Wei watched, sensing the tension.
Yun Shishi grilled Jiang Jian about his intentions.
Jiang Jian answered concisely, his expression unreadable.
Yun Shishi raised an eyebrow.
"You're quite direct, Jiang Jian."
Jiang Jian nodded.
"I see no reason for unnecessary pleasantries."
Ling Wei intervened.
"Shishi, Jiang Jian is... particular."
Yun Shishi smiled wryly.
"I gathered."
As the evening ended, Yun Shishi turned to Jiang Jian.
"I'll be keeping an eye on you."
Jiang Jian inclined his head.
"I expect nothing less."
No warmth flickered in his eyes.
Ling Wei's heart skipped a beat.
" Are you freaking kidding me Jian! She's your sis in-law do you have to be so reserved!" She thought to herself
Was Jiang Jian's reserve a shield?
.....
Ling Wei's heart skipped a beat as Jiang Jian's fingers intertwined with hers.
"Move in with me, Wei," he said, his voice low and husky.
She widened her eyes, her cheeks flushing.
"But it won't be appropriate," she replied, her tone tender.
Jiang Jian's expression darkened, his brow furrowing.
Ling Wei's laughter filled the air.
"Yes, I'll move in with you!" she exclaimed, embracing him.
Her blush deepened as Jiang Jian's arms enveloped her.
He took her hand, placing it on his chest.
"I'll take care of you, Wei," he promised, his eyes burning with intensity.
Ling Wei's pulse quickened.
"Jiang Jian, I...."
He silenced her with a gentle kiss.
"No more doubts, Wei. We'll face everything together."
