Chapter 237

Liu Lingxiao's expression froze for a second, and she lowered her voice: "So what do we do now?"

Xu Yan twisted her fingers and looked at Xu Mo: "Brother, this... this is actually Ye Jin's sister."

Xu Mo: "..."

His face darkened: "Do you think I'm that gullible?"

The four of them exchanged glances, and Ye Jin sighed: "Let's all sit down and talk."

Xu Mo's gaze darted between the three of them: "So... what's really going on? Who exactly are you?"

Liu Lingxiao looked completely innocent: "I really am Ye Jin's older sister. I just look young for my age. Last time, I deliberately put on makeup because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me."

Xu Mo's face darkened further: "Do I look that easy to fool?" He paused for a moment, "Actually, neither of you are normal, are you?"

Xu Yan didn't dare to speak up. Ye Jin was exasperated by these two troublemakers. He glanced at the ceiling helplessly: "That's right."

Xu Mo's previous suspicions were confirmed, and he sat up straight: "So, did we have some kind of history in our past lives?"

Otherwise, the way his family treated Ye Jin was just too strange.

Ye Jin gave a vague explanation: "More or less. In your past life, you were Xu Yan's younger brother."

Xu Yan looked confused: "How come I don't know about this?"

Liu Lingxiao kindly reminded her: "That was in another lifetime."

Xu Yan nodded, still confused, but didn't ask any more questions. After all, those things were all in the past.

But Xu Mo still asked Ye Jin: "Were you close to our family back then?"

Ye Jin admired his intuition: "Yes. At that time, I was practically a member of your family."

Xu Mo looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Ye Jin thought for a moment, explaining tactfully: "Well... back then, Yan Yan picked me up and brought me home. I lived with you and your family for over a decade."

Xu Mo vaguely understood and turned to Xu Yan: "Look at you, always picking up random things! Now even you've been picked up by someone!"

Xu Yan, who was being fed by Liu Lingxiao, looked up in confusion: "Huh?"

She belatedly realized: "You were my younger brother in my past life! So why have you become my older brother now?"

Xu Yan looked at Ye Jin with a pout: "Why?"

Ye Jin felt a bit weary: "You seem quite used to this."

Xu Mo smiled calmly: "This is how my parents often behave with Xu Yan at home. Besides, Xu Yan is so unreliable that she can be lured away with just a small toy or a piece of candy."

Ye Jin sighed: "I'll make sure to teach her better in the future."

Xu Yan secretly glanced at Ye Jin, then continued whispering with Liu Lingxiao.

Liu Lingxiao occasionally pinched Xu Yan's cheeks. She suddenly asked: "Yan Yan, where are the two parrots from the tavern?"

Xu Yan scratched her head in confusion: "I don't know. They were here just now. Sister, why are you looking for them?"

Liu Lingxiao licked her lips: "I'm a bit hungry."

Xu Yan: "..."

No wonder the parrots were hiding.

She rubbed her stomach: "I'm a bit hungry too."

Just then, the food delivery from the restaurant arrived.

Under the "strong persuasion" of Xu Yan and Liu Lingxiao, Xu Mo and Ye Jin "reluctantly" joined them to eat.

Liu Lingxiao opened the takeout boxes and casually called out: "Ye Jin, do you two want to join us?"

Xu Yan also turned her head to look at them: "Brother, are you coming? It's fine if you don't..."

"We're coming!" The two men stood up simultaneously and walked over to sit beside the two girls.

Liu Lingxiao, while eating chicken, said: "So you've set the date for your wedding next month?"

Xu Yan nodded obediently: "Yes."

Ye Jin, peeling shrimp for Xu Yan without looking up, asked: "What gift have you prepared for Yan Yan?"

Liu Lingxiao thought for a moment: "I haven't decided yet. There are so many things I want to give her, I don't know which one would be best."

Ye Jin casually suggested: "Why not give her all of them? What's the problem with that?"

Liu Lingxiao had a realization: "That makes sense. It'll save me the trouble of choosing."

Xu Yan was taken aback by Ye Jin's blunt words. She hurriedly said, "Sister, don't listen to Ye Jin's nonsense. There's no need to give me anything."

Liu Lingxiao waved her hand dismissively. "Yan Yan, marriage is a big deal. As your sister, I haven't been able to help you two with much all this time. It's only right that I give you a gift now."
