"Sis-in-law, please, don't tell my brother." Pei Yining looked pleadingly at Xu Nianhua.
Xu Nianhua gestured for her to look behind.
Too late.
As Pei Yining spoke, Pei Yicheng had just come in; she didn't have time to warn her.
"Brother?"
Pei Yining was startled, and her first thought was to hide quickly.
"Stop." Pei Yicheng said in a deep voice.
Pei Yining couldn't move a step, so she smiled apologetically and said, "Brother, you're back so early today. I... I was just about to go back to my room to rest and not disturb your family time."
In her heart, she prayed that her brother would not hear.
"Come back, sit down." Pei Yicheng maintained a stern face, deliberately lowered his voice to avoid waking the baby in the cradle.
"Brother." Pei Yining looked toward Xu Nianhua for help.
