Chapter 164

"Mr. Jiang, are we… are we returning to your home?"

Yun Yubing looked at the familiar villa before her, her face showing a startled expression.

"Didn't we say we were going to River God Spring to find the River God? So why…"

"The River God is right in my house."

Jiangnan's tone remained flat, as if he were speaking of something trivial.

"What?!"

Yun Yubing widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief,

"You mean… River God Li Sisi… is in your house?"

"Mm."

Jiangnan nodded, got out of the car first, and walked toward the villa's gate.

Yun Yubing hurried to follow, her mind full of doubt and curiosity.

How could the River God be in Jiangnan's home?

What exactly is their relationship?

A series of questions swirled in her mind, making her eager to know the answer.

Jiangnan walked to the entrance, skillfully pressed his fingerprint, and the villa's gate slowly opened.

The living room was lit, and a petite figure was curled up on the sofa, seemingly watching TV.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head, saw Jiangnan, and a delighted smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Brother! You're back!"

She shouted with joy, fluttering like a light butterfly into Jiangnan's arms,

tightly hugging his waist, looking up at him with her clear bright eyes,

"Brother, I've missed you!"

Her voice was soft, sweet, and carried a hint of coquettishness.

Yun Yubing stood at the doorway, watching the scene, and was completely stunned.

What did she see?

The legendary River God Li Sisi was actually wearing a thin nightgown,

showing her fair skin and slender beautiful legs,

unreservedly leaping into Jiangnan's arms, and calling him… brother?

What… what on earth is going on?

Yun Yubing felt her mind go blank, completely unable to comprehend the situation before her.

She had always thought River God Li Sisi was a mysterious, unattainable being,

but she never expected she would appear in such a…

a little girl's demeanor right before her.

Moreover, her relationship with Jiangnan… seemed far more intimate than she had imagined.

"Sisi, there's a guest."

Jiangnan gently patted Li Sisi's back and said softly.

"Guest?"

Li Sisi only then noticed Yun Yubing standing at the doorway,

she lifted her head from Jiangnan's embrace, blinking her big eyes, and curiously examined her.

"Who is this sister?"

She asked with her head tilted, her voice clear and pleasant.

"She is called Yun Yubing, she is my… friend."

Jiangnan introduced,

when he said the word 'friend', he paused slightly.

"Hello, Yun sister!"

Li Sisi obediently greeted, her face bearing a sweet smile.

Yun Yubing finally regained her composure, took a deep breath, and forced herself to stay calm,

forcing a faint smile onto her face, she said:

"Hello, Li… Miss Li."

She had originally intended to call her 'River God Lord',

but when the words reached her mouth, she felt it was awkward, so she changed to 'Miss Li'.

"Yun sister, just call me Sisi."

Li Sisi said with a smiling face,

"My brother's friend is also my friend."

"Brother, why did you both come back so late?"

Li Sisi held Jiangnan's hand and cooed,

"I've been waiting for you for so long."

"Something held me up."

Jiangnan rubbed her hair,

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Mm, I've been waiting for you."

Li Sisi nodded.

"Brother's not here, I can't fall asleep."

"From now on you don't have to wait for me; rest early."

Jiangnan said, his tone tinged with a hint of indulgence.

"No, I want to wait for brother."

Li Sisi pursed her lips and said,

"Brother's not here, I'll be scared."

"Fine."

Jiangnan smiled helplessly,

"Then let's go inside and talk."

Saying so, he took Li Sisi's hand and walked into the living room, and Yun Yubing followed in.

The three sat on the sofa, the atmosphere a bit delicate.

Yun Yubing watched Jiangnan and Li Sisi's affectionate demeanor, and felt an inexplicable emotion rise within.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling,

like jealousy, yet like envy, with a hint of loss mixed in.

"Si Si, I have something to ask you."

Jiangnan opened his mouth, breaking the silence.

"What is it, brother?"

Li Sisi blinked her big eyes and asked.

"About Ye Wan, what do you know?"

Jiangnan asked, his gaze fixed tightly on Li Sisi's eyes.

"Ye Wan?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Li Sisi's face,

"I don't know her."

"Think about it again."

Jiangnan said,

"She might be related to you."

"Related to me…?"

Li Sisi furrowed her brows, trying hard to recall,

"But… I really can't remember."

Her face showed a painful expression, as if straining to remember,

but her mind was a blank.
