“Hey, here I am eating!” the girl said indifferently, tossing her backpack onto the ground.

Old Xie couldn’t contain his anger when he saw her.

“You’re home so late again, where have you been?”

This young girl was none other than Old Xie’s daughter, Xie Jingjing.

She said dismissively, “Nowhere much, just went racing with some friends for a bit.’

Old Xie was infuriated by Xie Jingjing’s attitude and was about to explode.

But Auntie Pang, feeling sorry for her daughter, hurriedly said, “Jingjing, guess who’s back?”

“Whoever it is, whatever!” Xie Jingjing spoke carelessly, about to head into the inner room.

At that moment, Xue An let out a sigh and said softly, “Jingjing!”

Xie Jingjing, who hadn’t cared at all, was stunned when she heard this voice, and then she saw Xue An sitting there with a gentle smile on his face, her eyes filling with tears.

“Xiao… Xiao An, brother?” Xie Jingjing’s voice trembled.

There was still a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Xue An smiled and nodded, “Yes, it’s me, I’m back!”

Before Xue An could finish speaking, Xie Jingjing rushed over and buried herself in his embrace, crying out loud.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er exchanged glances, then continued eating as if nothing unusual was happening.

“Xiao An, brother, where have you been these four years? They all said you were dead, but I knew you weren’t, because I often dreamed about you.”

Xue An felt the girl’s tears soaking his chest and felt a sense of poignancy, then patted Xie Jingjing’s head gently.

“Come on, you’re such a big girl now, are you still crying?”

Xie Jingjing looked up, her face streaked with ruined makeup from the tears.

Xue An couldn’t help but laugh at her comical appearance.

Noticing her embarrassing state, Xie Jingjing quickly covered her face and dashed into the inner room.

Xue An looked at Auntie Pang and Old Xie and couldn’t help saying with a laugh, “Jingjing’s grown up so much.”

“Tell me about it! Now that you’re back, you really should talk to her. She listens to you most,” Auntie Pang said.

Old Xie was delighted and lifted his cup, having another drink with Xue An.

At this time, Xie Jingjing came back with her face washed clean.

Without the messy makeup, Xie Jingjing appeared fresh-faced and lovely, then slowly moved towards Xue An.

“Haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, sit down and eat!” Auntie Pang, feeling pity for her daughter, said urgently.

But Xie Jingjing noticed Xue Xiang and another girl, her eyes turning red, “These are… Xiao An, brother, are they your daughters?”

Xue An nodded.

“Then who are those two?” Xie Jingjing pointed at Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue and asked.

“Jingjing, how can you be so impolite!” Auntie Pang said, a bit angry. Fan Mengxue smiled slightly, “Auntie, it’s okay, I quite like Jingjing.”

Xue An said, “They are my friends!”

“Just friends?” Xie Jingjing dug deeper.

Xue An was at a loss for words and chuckled, “What else would they be if not friends?”

Xie Jingjing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then put on a smile, taking a seat next to Xue An.

“To the two sisters, let me toast to you first!” Xie Jingjing filled a glass and said to Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er.

Old Xie frowned, “Stop being ridiculous!”

Fan Mengxue waved her hand and also filled a glass, “Alright! I’ll have a drink with you, sister!”

With that, Fan Mengxue downed it in one gulp.

Xie Jingjing clenched her teeth and also drained the glass of liquor.

However, after she finished, her face reddened.

Fan Mengxue, on the other hand, didn’t show any signs of discomfort.

In fact, for Fan Mengxue, drinking another bottle of white liquor was no pressure at all.

There was no choice; embarking on the path of show business meant she had to face many a treacherous dinner party.

To protect herself, Fan Mengxue had trained her alcohol tolerance to a terrifyingly high level.

Xie Jingjing filled another glass and said to Tang Xuan’er, “Sister, let’s drink a glass too!”

Tang Xuan’er hesitated slightly, but at that moment, Xue An picked up his glass, “What’s this? Haven’t seen you in four years and your alcohol tolerance has grown significantly, huh!”

Xie Jingjing lowered her head.

Xue An put on the air of an older brother, “Look at your outfit, do you even resemble a student? And drinking alcohol, too? Do you think that without me around, you can act recklessly?”

Tears of grievance started falling from Xie Jingjing’s eyes.

Xue An softened his tone, “Since you want to drink, I’ll join you for a glass then!”

Having said that, Xue An downed his drink in one gulp.

Xie Jingjing, gritting her teeth, followed suit.

This time her eyes started to look bleary.

Xue An set down his glass, “Let this glass be the end. Starting tomorrow, I want to see an obedient Xie Jingjing, understand?”

Xie Jingjing looked at Xue An, nodded her head, and then collapsed on the table, drunk.

Auntie Pang hurried forward, but Xue An waved her off, “It’s fine, let her sleep it off! ”

Then, placing his hand on Xie Jingjing’s shoulder, his qi entered her body, helping to dispel her drunkenness.

Hm.

Xue An let out a soft exclamation, Xie Jingjing turned out to be a rare pure yin constitution.

This constitution was one in ten thousand, most suitable for practicing pure yin Taoist arts.

However, it also attracted the coveting of many unorthodox methods. But now Xie Jingjing’s body hadn’t fully developed, so it hadn’t revealed itself yet.

Moreover, if she lost her virginity, the pure yin constitution would be destroyed.

It seems that although Xie Jingjing was rebellious, she hadn’t done anything extreme.

Thinking this, Xue An felt somewhat relieved.

This meal took a very long time.

Not until Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, these two little ones, became unbearably sleepy did Xue An help the thoroughly drunk Old Xie into the house.

And as they were leaving, Auntie Pang, holding Xue An’s hand with a sad expression, said, “Xiao An, Auntie Pang has always considered you my son, so please don’t disappear again, and come see us often!”

Xue An smiled, “Auntie Pang, don’t worry, I won’t leave this time!”

Xue Xiang and Xue Nian had already fallen asleep, and Xue An simply carried one in each arm, holding them close to his chest.

The two little heads rested on his shoulders, their soft snoring creating a slight breeze that tickled Xue An’s neck, making one’s heart inevitably calm down.

Once they were outside the restaurant, Xue An asked Fan Mengxue, “Which hotel are you staying at? I’ll take you.”

Fan Mengxue, looking down, replied, “I… didn’t stay at a hotel. I went straight to Dragon Emperor Platform after arriving in Beijiang!”

“Er… what about you, Xuan’er?”

Tang Xuan’er replied softly, “I stay at the hospital dormitory, but now… they’ve probably locked up!”

“Well, why not… stay at my place for tonight?” Xue An suggested.

“Okay!” both Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er, looking down, responded in unison.

In her sleep, Xie Jingjing suddenly shed a tear, then murmured, “Brother Xiao

An, don’t leave me! When I grow up… I’m going to marry you!”

Hearing this sentence while tidying up in the room, Auntie Pang paused for a moment before sighing, “Silly girl, your Brother Xiao An is no ordinary person!”
