"Brother Ling Qian." Xia Yinian called again.
"Actually, you don't need to keep reminding us of our brother-sister relationship; if you call me 'Ling Qian,' I'd be happier."
Gu Lingqian reached out with his long fingers and gently tapped Xia Yinian's nose.
"Didn't we agree? We're just siblings, so I have no right to interfere with your love life."
"But if you choose Uncle, this matter must remain a secret for now."
"Our relationship, apart from making Grandma happy, can also keep you a bit safer, you understand?"
Xia Yinian pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"I heard everything you said with Senior Feimo in the room at Yaoshan."
"Old Master would never allow me and Uncle to be together, and then there's Grandma's illness..."
Remembering Yu Wanqing's words, Xia Yinian realized that the possibility between her and Uncle was slimmer than ever, and she was becoming increasingly hesitant to hope.
