Chapter 68 - Haven’t Been Called Eldest Brother (1/2)

In the room, Jian Yiling was leaning over the desk. It appeared as though she had been doing her homework.

Jian Yiling raised her head and met Jian Yuncheng’s gaze.

When she heard the knock at the door, Jian Yiling had a.s.sumed that the servant was bringing her hot milk to drink.

As a result, she didn’t expect to see Jian Yuncheng.

Jian Yiling repressed her expressions and pulled out a school a.s.signment to cover the report that she was writing just now.

Jian Yuncheng walked up to Jian Yiling and squatted down. He kept his eyes level with Jian Yiling’s.

“Yiling.”

Jian Yuncheng called out.

Jian Yiling turned around and looked at his eyes. Instinctively, she leaned back a little to keep her distance with him.

Jian Yiling still wasn’t used to being too close to other people. Females in the family were fine. However, it was difficult to adapt to males.

However, Jian Yiling’s instinctive reaction made Jian Yuncheng frown.

He looked at his sister in front of him. She appeared so young, yet her eyes were bloodshot. It appeared as though she hadn’t been sleeping well recently.

Jian Yuncheng’s voice softened:

“Thank you for the present. I really like it. Thank you for remembering my birthday.”

Ever since the accident, he had always kept a straight face when talking to Jian Yiling. He treated her like he treated his employees at work.

However, Jian Yiling merely looked at Jian Yuncheng.

“Are you angry with me? Is it because I was scary?”

As Jian Yiling didn’t respond to him, Jian Yuncheng a.s.sumed that she was actually angry with him.

Jian Yuncheng softly said to Jian Yiling, “Yiling, I don’t want to believe that you are someone who hurts your family. However, I don’t want to believe that Yunnao is someone to accuse you either. The most painful thing for mother, father, and I is to choose between members of our beloved family. We can’t abandon any of you.”

The Jian family had never been merciful to any outsiders.
