"What kind of trouble are you in? Why the need to hide?" Jie Jinghun asked casually.
"Our older sister's sister-in-law has her eyes on me, so I'm avoiding her," Jie Jingjue admitted in a low voice.
Jie Jinghun froze. He glanced at Jie Jingchen, then over at Qin Mei, and wisely decided to keep quiet.
Jie Duo sat between Jie Jingchen and Qin Mei. The little girl struggled with her chopsticks, finding it difficult to eat.
Jie Jingjue scarfed down his food, ready to make a run for it as soon as he was full. Before he left, he planted a big kiss on Jie Duo's cheek.
"That kid is getting way ahead of himself," Jie Jinghun muttered. No one took the bait; it was an awkward topic.
The banquet went off without a hitch, a relative success. The only problem was the bride's absence.
The Lin family explained that the bride's pregnancy had become unstable, so she was at home resting. Mr. Xie, who knew the truth, helped them sell the lie.
