Su Xiaoxiao wanted to protest further, but she noticed her brother's furrowed brow, his gaze fixed firmly on her. In their two lifetimes, Su Hongchen had rarely gone against his younger sister's wishes. So, seeing him so resolute this time, she dared not push back. With a huff, she pouted and turned to walk toward her room.
Jiang Yexun watched her retreating figure, a blend of helplessness and fondness flickering in his eyes. Finally, he turned to Su Hongchen, pleading, "Brother-in-law, please go in and talk to Xiaoxiao. Comfort her instead of lecturing. She's had a rough evening, and she won't sleep well if she's upset."
"She's my sister; I know how to take care of her!" Su Hongchen shot Jiang Yexun an irritated glance before striding toward Su Xiaoxiao's room.
