Lian Xi took Lu Xueer's hand, walked into the villa with her, and took the spiral staircase to the top floor.

A man in a suit stood by the French window with his back to them, looking down at documents.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned around slowly, revealing a handsome and mature face. It was Lu Sili.

"You're back, Xixi." Lu Sili only had Lian Xi in his eyes. His younger sister Lu Xueer had been completely ignored by him.

"Si Li." Lian Xi called out with a smile.

"Let's go in and talk first," Lu Sili put his arm around her slender waist and led her into the house, "It's windy outside."

Lu Xueer stood there blankly, watching the interaction between her brother and sister-in-law, feeling a strong sense of jealousy rising in her heart.

Her brother had never looked at her so tenderly...

At this time, Lu Sili finally turned his gaze to her and said calmly: "You are here too."

"I..." Lu Xueer tried to smile, "I came here to accompany my sister-in-law."

Lu Sili looked at Lian Xi, nodded slightly, and then looked away.

Lu Xueer clenched her fists tightly, and it felt like ten thousand ants were crawling in her heart, causing her pain and anxiety.

Do all of them like Lian Xi? She also wants to be like this.

Why am I, a member of the Lu family, more like an outsider than Lian Xi?

Lian Xi followed Lu Sili into the living room.

Lu Xueer bit her lower lip and followed them into the living room silently.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu were sitting on the sofa and chatting. When they saw them, they stood up to greet them.

"Si Li, why did you bring Xixi here?" Mrs. Lu asked in surprise.

"Mom, this is what happened." Lu Sili explained simply, "Xixi has been pregnant for four months, and I'm worried. I'm at work most of the time and can't be with her, so I decided to move to the Lu residence temporarily for a few days to take care of Xixi."

Lian Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he looked at Lu Sili in surprise.

"Is it true?" Father Lu said excitedly, "That's great, this is really good news!"

Mrs. Lu's eyebrows showed a look of relief, and she praised repeatedly, "Our Lu family has a new member, which is double happiness! It's great!"

Lu Sili smiled slightly and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll take Xixi upstairs to rest first."

Father Lu smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Lu Sili took Lian Xi's hand, walked straight up the stairs and entered the room.

He closed the door, put his arm around Lian Xi's shoulders and kissed her forehead gently.

Lian Xi's whole body stiffened, her cheeks blushed, and she pushed him away.

Lu Sili chuckled: "You are so cute when you are shy, how about I kiss you again?"

Lian Xi's face turned even redder, "I don't believe you would do that."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lu Sili leaned over.

Lian Xi dodged hurriedly: "Stop it, I need to rest."

"Okay, good night." Lu Sili ruffled her long hair.

"Good night."

Lian Xi waved at him and hurried back to the bedroom. Lu Sili raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes deep and blurred.

The next morning, after Lian Xi woke up, he touched the bed as usual and found it was cold.

She opened her eyes and saw the mood message Lu Sili sent her.

Lian Xi's mood instantly improved, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

She threw the pen on the table, washed up, changed her clothes and prepared to go out to buy groceries.

After walking out of the house, Lian Xi suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach. She covered her abdomen and frowned. Did she catch a cold and get sick last night?

She quickly took out her cell phone and called Lu Sili.

Lu Sili quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Lian Xi asked, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

"I just finished my meal and am processing documents in the office." Lu Sili's voice sounded very pleasant. "Do you want to come over to me? I'll get you some medicine."

"No need." Lian Xi immediately refused, "I can do it myself."

Although Lu Sili is considerate and gentle, they are always affectionate when they meet. Lian Xi doesn't want to be caught by anyone, especially not by Lu Xueer.

Lu Sili did not force her, and reminded her: "Then I will be busy first. Remember to take your medicine on time."

Lian Xi responded, hung up the phone, and walked into the vegetable market humming a song happily.

Lu Xueer was in a bad mood the whole day because she was extremely envious of the way her brother and sister-in-law got along.

In the evening, Lu Sili returned to the Lu family. Lu Xueer approached him and acted coquettishly and cutely, trying to please him.

"Brother," Lu Xueer took Lu Sili's arm and pouted, "I encountered some trouble when performing today. Can you help me solve it?"

Lu Sili raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "What's the trouble?"

"That's right..." Lu Xue'er hesitated for a while, and said, "Forget it, it's just a small matter anyway. Brother will definitely be fine, right?"

Lu Sili chuckled, "Okay, how do you want me to help you?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday. The school organizes an autumn outing. The class teacher requires that you must participate with your family. You should also participate." Lu Xueer looked at him expectantly.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Lu Sili shook his head. "I have an appointment with a client to discuss a contract tomorrow. If it's not something important, I can't get away."

"Oh..." Lu Xue'er was extremely disappointed, but still didn't give up, "What about the day after tomorrow? Are you free the day after tomorrow?"

"I still can't agree." Lu Sili said lightly.

"Why?" Lu Xueer felt very aggrieved.

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Sili with tears in her eyes.

Lu Sili said calmly, "I do have a lot of work recently and can't spare the time to accompany you."

"But my parents don't have time either..." Lu Xue'er lowered her eyes and muttered, "Just think of it as making it up to me, just for a week, okay?"

"I can't make the decision for you on this matter." Lu Sili said calmly, "I'm quite busy at the moment, so wait until I'm done with this."

"Brother, don't you want to play with me?" Lu Xue'er choked up, "Don't you want to pay attention to me?"

Lu Sili sighed and stroked his sister's soft hair. "Silly girl, why do you say that? You are my only sister. If I don't spoil you, who will?"

Lu Xueer looked up at Lu Sili, her eyes full of hope and tears, like a bullied child.

Lu Sili sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll try to make time as soon as possible to go for a walk with you."

Lu Xueer burst into laughter and said, "Yes! Thank you, brother! I knew that you are the best!"

Lu Sili smiled and pinched her nose: "Don't just say thank you, you have to take some actual action."

"What?" Lu Xueer asked, tilting her head.

"Take good care of your sister-in-law for me," Lu Sili suggested seriously, "She is pregnant now and needs extra attention."

"No problem!" Lu Xueer assured proudly, "Leave it to me!"

Lian Xi brought out the fried steak from the kitchen. The presentation was exquisite and attractive, and it smelled delicious.
