Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Certain Thoughts About Him_1

With the presence of Xie Jue and Xie Ying, things seemed to be somewhat normal. But now, they are gone, and Xiumei and Lin Fang have also stepped out, leaving only the two of them. Suddenly, everything feels different.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Jinyi asked, noticing Wei Ruo’s distraction.

In truth, she had been unable to focus on her work from the beginning of their separation.

Thus, once Ruo had spaced out, he immediately noticed.

He wanted to know what occupied her mind, causing her to lose focus.

“It’s nothing,” Wei Ruo quickly denied.

She didn’t want to admit that there was a moment when she had certain desires for her second brother.

Wei Ruo speculated that it must be due to the age of this body. When a person reaches a certain age, various hormones begin to increase and it’s effectively the so-called hormonal outburst.

She supposed it was due to the influence of these hormones that her heartbeat changed when she saw her second brother.

Who could blame her when her second brother was so handsome? Everyone loves beauty, it’s normal to be little moved by a handsome man when you see him often.

So, Wei Ruo wasn’t too concerned about it. It would pass after some time.

Wei Jinyi’s gaze was a little intense, having the faint feeling that Wei Ruo was keeping something from him.

“Ruoruo, if something is bothering you, you can share it with me,” Wei Jinyi said.

“There’s nothing bothering me.”

She naturally couldn’t tell Wei Jinyi that in a few moments she had been craving his attractiveness.

If her serious second brother found out, he’d be mortified.

She could already imagine him telling her to stop fooling around with a mixture of embarrassment and seriousness.

Wei Jinyi stared at Wei Ruo, deciding not to ask further.

His intuition was telling him that Ruoruo was hiding something from him.

But she wasn’t willing to open up to him and he was worried that by pushing she would only get upset.

Wei Ruo thought for a moment, then decided to bring up something else: “Second Brother, I plan to take in another batch of refugees in our Hejian Prefecture manor. Next year, I intend to expand the scope of cotton cultivation, we will need more labor.”

“It’s your decision, Ruoruo.”

“You also have a stake in the coal mines and cotton fields in Hejian Prefecture, I need to discuss this with you,” Wei Ruo said.

“I trust your choices, you’re more skilful in this area than me,” Wei Jinyi said.

Wei Ruo felt a warmth spreading in her heart from the unconditional trust he had in her.

Wei Ruo went on: “Several Madams approached me in the past few days, they want to contribute financially and physically to aid the victims outside the city and maintain stability within the Capital City. I accepted.”

These people were quite smart. If they were to buy food and aid people as Wei Ruo did, it would be both laborious and thankless, considering Wei Ruo’s reputation.

To do as Wei Ruo did was a big challenge for them, given their resources weren’t as abundant as Wei Ruo’s, who had prepared in advance.

It’s better to pitch in with Wei Ruo. They could earn a good reputation without too much effort, they just needed to contribute monetarily.

Weiruo naturally was thrilled. What she could get from these people was not just money, there were other problems that these people could also solve.

In the end, she was playing a role in integrating these resources heading towards a win-win situation.

“Hmm.” Wei Jinyi supported all of Wei Ruo’s decisions unconditionally.

He knew she must have a plan behind her decisions.
