Liang Rongrong blinked her bright, beautiful eyes and said, "The security guard was too harsh. Just because this uncle was dressed modestly, they stopped him at the door. Thankfully, I asked and found out he was your relative, so I brought him in."
Shi Quan, who usually acted carefree and unreliable in front of his younger siblings, was quite serious in front of others.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Liang."
When Liang Rongrong met Shi Quan's gaze, she shyly lowered her head.
Shi Li's eyes widened, sensing trouble.
Liang Rongrong was the female protagonist, and in the original story, the author had given her such powerful charm that even a male dog passing by would fall in love with her.
If even dogs could fall in love with her across species, human males were even more susceptible. In the original book, every man around her invariably wanted to strip off her clothes and sleep with her.
Although Shi Quan was her cousin, he didn't have a place among the notable male supporting characters in the original text.
Setting aside her perspective as his little sister, she found her brother completely charmless.
However, from a reader's perspective, Shi Quan wasn't without merit. He was handsome, well-educated, came from a reasonably wealthy family, and respected women without any bad habits.
All things considered, Shi Quan qualified as a quality male specimen.
Having reached this conclusion, when Shi Li saw Liang Rongrong's love-struck expression, she internally groaned "oh no."
Could it be that Liang Rongrong had taken a liking to her brother, or was she just considering him as another fish in her pond?
Shi Li couldn't help but think of the Liang Rongrong she knew in her previous life, feeling a stark disconnect. Though it was the same person, it felt like two different people entirely.
Shi Quan already had a girlfriend, but Shi Li truly feared that Liang Rongrong's protagonist halo was too powerful and would transform her brother from a normal person into... the next Little Uncle.
It took Shi Li a while to recall that "Little Uncle" had become somewhat of an adjective now.
Shi Li spoke up to remind him, "Brother, weren't you going to take me and sister to pay New Year visits?"
Shi Quan actually had no intention of taking his two sisters for New Year visits; he had snuck out of the house wanting to meet his girlfriend.
Of course, when meeting his girlfriend, he couldn't bring along two tagalongs.
Shi Quan glared at his sister, thinking she talked too much.
"You're right, we should go pay New Year visits."
"Happy New Year, Miss Liang."
Feng's Father's face had grown rounder, and his usual scholarly appearance now carried more kindness.
After his car accident some months ago, he had been recuperating at home, eating well without working, so it was natural for him to gain weight.
While Feng's Father was recovering at home, Feng Yunhe had been running between school and the company.
After the company was handed over to Feng Yunhe, not only did it avoid problems, but it actually improved, allowing Feng's Father to recover at home with peace of mind and feel more confident about entrusting the company to his son.
Eldest Aunt and Feng's Mother were close friends, and the siblings Shi Quan and Shi Ruan were also very close to Feng's Mother.
They always came to pay New Year visits to the Feng family.
Hearing the young ones' New Year greetings, Feng's Mother smiled and handed out three red envelopes.
Given their close relationship with Feng's Mother, it was acceptable to accept these red envelopes.
Feng Yunhe stood before his parents, dressed impeccably. Though he was the same age as Shi Li, in his tailored suit he looked more like Shi Quan's peer.
After the three children paid their respects, Feng's Mother didn't try to keep them, knowing they had more visits to make.
She said with a smile, "I know you have more visits to make, so I won't keep you. Shi Quan, please take our Yunhe with you when you go. You're the same age, so you'll have things to talk about."
Shi Quan couldn't understand how his group kept growing.
He hadn't even managed to get rid of his two sisters, and while he was planning to see Liang Rongrong off, now Feng Yunhe was added to the mix.

Since he couldn't refuse Feng's Mother, Shi Quan could only tearfully agree.
Then Liang Rongrong spoke up again, "Brother, I'd like to join you all for the visits too."
Shi Li didn't miss her cousin's expression, which looked like he'd just eaten something terrible.
In her mind, she provided a voiceover for her cousin: [Hey, I just caught some demons, then caught some monsters, why are there so many evil spirits around?~]
Shi Li's singing voice was quite extraordinary.
Her music teacher had only needed to hear one line before declaring that she shouldn't sing during choir practice to avoid throwing off the other students.
Shi Li didn't go off-key on purpose.
So when that demonic singing suddenly rang out, Feng Yunhe, who was dressed smartly in his suit with his hair styled like an adult, finally couldn't maintain his composure.
The corner of his mouth twitched twice.
As for why it was twice and not three times - two twitches were the final indulgence Feng Yunhe, the young tycoon, allowed himself.
