CH 29.1

Wu Wei’an is good at concealing himself and it complements the Ji family.

Noticing that someone’s eyes had been looking at her, Ji Yunxi raised her head and slightly raised her eyebrow: “Is something the matter?”

Wu Wei’an smiled: “It’s nothing. It’s just that it’s already this hour, don’t you have to go back to the Ji Mansion for the New Year’s Eve dinner?”

Speaking of this, Ji Yunxi’s gaze paused slightly and then she explained: “Sixth Brother said that for tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner, he will be in charge.”

That’s why she didn’t want to go home.

Wu Wei’an nodded: “Then hurry back. That is Sixth Brother’s kindness, so don’t let him down.”

Ji Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said: “Why don’t you come with me?”

Wu Wei’an picked up the book and shook it, smiling innocuously: “I have to study hard.”

Ji Yunxi threw down the miscellaneous book: “Such a short time won’t have that much effect on it.”

Wu Wei’an spoke eloquently: “Reading is a race against time. This is what Yun Niang told me. I have always kept it in my mind and dare not be lazy.”

Ji Yunxi: “…”

As the two were talking, the door was knocked, and Second Wu’s voice came in from outside the door: “Eldest Brother, Third Miss, can I come in?”

Ji Yunxi leaned back on the couch.

Wu Wei’an replied: “Come in.”

Second Wu pushed the door open and came in. He subconsciously glanced at Ji Yunxi who was sitting on the beauty couch, then looked away in avoidance and gave her a bow before giving Wu Wei’an what was in his hand: “Eldest Brother, this is the Spring Imperial Examination’s questions that I guessed with a few friends of mine.”

Wu Wei’an took it and turned it over.

Second Wu asked: “By the way, Eldest Brother, Father asked me to ask you, do you want to have New Year’s Eve dinner together tonight?”

Wu Wei’an shook his head: “You guys just eat, don’t worry about me.”

Second Wu didn’t think it was wrong either, so he just gave the two of them a bow again before closing the door and leaving.

Over the years, his Eldest Brother has seldom eaten with everyone, including New Year’s Eve dinner.

Except for his Father and him, his Eldest Brother has always had little interaction with the rest of the family.

The rest of the family are also very afraid of his Eldest Brother. If Eldest Brother really eats with them, it was estimated that his Mother and other siblings would not dare to move their chopsticks at all.

And since childhood, Second Wu rarely saw his Eldest Brother at home.

When his Eldest Brother was young, his Eldest Brother was often away for months and months, and he didn’t know what his Eldest Brother did outside.

And as for how Second Wu himself got along with his Eldest Brother like this…

It was just because Second Wu doesn’t like sweets.

He found by chance that their mysterious Eldest Brother at home liked to eat sweets, so he gave him all the sweets given to him by outsiders to his Eldest Brother.

After going back and forth, the two became what they are now.

Ji Yunxi watched Second Wu leave and before she asked: “Are you not having a New Year’s Eve dinner with your family?”

Wu Wei’an put down the stack of paper given by his younger brother in his hand and said: “They are very afraid of me.”

Ji Yunxi nodded, expressing her understanding.

She came over from time to time to be a supervisor these days, and met the rest of the Wu family several times.

Madam Wu and several young ladies of the Wu family also looked very nervous when they saw her.

It makes sense too when she thinks about it. Wu Wei’an is the child of the first Madam, and it has nothing to do with the current Madam. After all, they are separated by a layer apart.

But that’s fine too, Ji Yunxi thought.

After the two get married, she doesn’t have to maintain her relationship with her Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law either.

Rarely feeling a little curious, Ji Yunxi asked: “Then why do you have a good relationship with your second younger brother?”

Wu Wei’an tapped the table with his knuckles and looked unfathomable: “It’s a long story…”

Ji Yunxi looked at him quietly: “Then make the long story short.”

When Wu Wei’an thought of the past, he chuckled lightly: “My second younger brother has a very good temperament.”

Ji Yunxi nodded: “Indeed.”
