“You really do have a sharp nose,” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yilin glanced at the food box in Wei Ruo’s hand and couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

He had been practicing the whole day and was starving. The aroma of meat was simply irresistible.

That shop’s braised dishes—his family had only bought them once during the Laba Festival, and after that, they never bought them again.

Mother said that shop’s braised food was more expensive than others, and since their family had their own cook, it would be more economical to buy the ingredients themselves and make it at home. On normal days, there was no need to buy from outside.

But the family cook’s skills were quite average, and the braised food she made couldn’t compare to what was sold at that shop.

“You really are rich!” Wei Yilin muttered.

Wei Yilin knew that right now, the wealthiest person in their family was none other than Wei Ruo. Her private stash of money was more than the rest of the entire family combined.

“Yes, I’m rich.” Wei Ruo replied, full of confidence.

That proud look in her eyes seemed to say: Yes, your sister is rich. Are you envious? Jealous? Sorry, envy and jealousy won’t get you anything! If you’ve got the ability, go make your own money!

“You…” Wei Yilin suddenly felt stifled. What he wanted was for Wei Qingruo to share a little with him, but Wei Qingruo seemed to deliberately ignore his longing.

While Wei Yilin was still sulking, Wei Ruo had already taken the basket and walked far away.

By the time Wei Yilin thought of saying something, it was already too late.

“So annoying! How did I end up with such an eldest sister? If she treated me just a little better, I’d call her Eldest Sister!” Wei Yilin pouted as he muttered.

When Wei Ruo’s figure had completely disappeared, and it was clear she had no intention at all of showing even the slightest bit of care for her younger brother, Wei Yilin muttered again gloomily, “I clearly already tried to be friendly to her. Couldn’t she treat me just a little better? Just a little, and I’d obediently call you Sister, but you just won’t—so annoying!”

The more Wei Yilin grumbled, the angrier he became, until finally he stomped back angrily to Aoju Courtyard.

At dinner time, Wei Ruo saw Wei Yichen, whom she hadn’t seen for quite a while.

With a gentle smile, Wei Yichen greeted Wei Ruo, “Younger Sister Ruo, it has been a long time.”

“Mm.” Wei Ruo responded faintly, her reaction much colder than Wei Qingwan’s.

Since they were about to begin the meal, Wei Yichen didn’t say anything more.

Wei Ruo glanced at the people inside. Other than Wei Yichen being present, it was no different from usual—Wei Mingting and Wei Jinyi did not come.

Because of this, Wei Ruo couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. She had thought her second brother would be back today.

“Since Ruo’er is here, everyone is present. Let’s take our seats.” Upon seeing Wei Ruo come in, Yun Shi took the initiative to speak to her.

This was the first time in several days that Yun Shi had taken the initiative to address her, and she even sounded to be in rather good spirits.

Wei Ruo felt a bit suspicious. What had happened?

She instinctively looked toward Wei Yichen, who gave her a smile.

Wei Ruo then withdrew her gaze, guessing that most likely Wei Yichen had said something to Yun Shi.

After they sat down, Wei Yilin’s eyes swept over the dishes on the table, and his expression could not help showing some disappointment.

The food for New Year’s Eve was indeed more extravagant than usual, but it still lacked the braised dishes from Xu’s Braised Food Shop that he had been hoping for.

“What’s wrong, Yilin? Do today’s dishes not suit your taste?” Yun Sho asked.

“No,” Wei Yilin denied, but immediately shot a glance at Wei Ruo, his eyes filled with resentment.

Wei Ruo pretended not to notice, eating her food quietly.
