The people in the living room retreated, and the whole house was eerily quiet, as if no one had ever lived here. The three of them walked on this mysterious silence and went directly to the study.

Ling Lian had been to this house several times, but it was the first time she had come in Xu Jiangtian's study.

This room is huge, there is a desk in front of a row of six or seven meters long floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is a picture of the spring color of the begonias on the table that he has drawn halfway there, the branches and leaves are the gentle and charming begonias in full bloom, and the delicate brushstrokes are not like painting flowers, but more like painting women.

Needless to say, Xu Jiangtian was thinking about which woman he was thinking about when he painted this painting.

He gave up his chair to Liu Xuanxuan, who had a big belly and could not sit on the floor mat with them.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Jiangtian went straight to the topic: "I don't know what your opinion is about my grandmother's affairs?"

"The old man is seriously ill, I'll show her face and let her go in peace......" Ling Lian nodded, "It should be."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no welcome."

The two of them went back and forth, and the tone was rusty and polite. Liu Xuanxuan couldn't listen to it a little, she held her stomach with one hand and the arm of the chair with the other, as if she was about to stand up: "You two are brothers and sisters, can you not speak in this tone?" Relax......"

Xu Jiangtian sat at Liu Xuanxuan's feet, he saw that Liu Xuanxuan was a little anxious, stroked her knee and kept whispering comfortingly: "Okay, okay, I know." Turning to Ling Lian, "I heard Xuanxuan say that you have never had a place to live in the studio, and now that you have found a family, why don't you move to live at home?"

Ling Lian's eyelashes drooped, and her voice was as light as a speck of dust: "Don't bother, the studio has already paid me a salary, which is enough for me to pay for my daily room and board."

Xu Jiangtian looked out the window - the wind was blowing, the trees in the courtyard were blown to and side by gusts of wind, and the two magpies were flying up and down around the nest, competing to squeeze into the nest. The dark clouds spread out like a carpet on the horizon, and in an instant they covered half of the sky.

"Ling Lian." Xu Jiangtian only called her name, and was speechless. His silhouette fades into the gray background outside the window, darkening even more, like the silhouette outlined in the carbon color of the sketch.

His Adam's apple slid up and down a few times, and finally spoke: "I didn't know the truth before, I didn't find you as soon as possible, I made you suffer a lot, it was because I didn't fulfill my responsibility as an older brother, I will compensate you." So don't say no, give me a chance, okay?"

"I don't need compensation."

Before Ling Lian's words fell, Liu Xuanxuan screamed at her with a strange look. Ling Lian understood what Liu Xuanxuan meant, bowed her head in silence, and changed her words: "Then we ...... Take your time."

"Also, I heard from Xuanxuan that you work in her studio, and the cost of room and board is paid in advance. Why don't you take this opportunity to move to me, firstly, to increase our chances of contact, and secondly, with you at home with her, I can also spare some time to occasionally take care of the company's affairs, and you can also do me a favor?"

Xu Jiangtian also saw that in Ling Lian's heart, Liu Xuanxuan's status was really much higher than him.

"I haven't figured this out yet." Glancing at Liu Xuanxuan quickly, seeing that she was looking at her with an expectant look, Ling Lian immediately added, "But you can consider that at least until the old lady sees me, I can live here temporarily."

Liu Xuanxuan immediately became elated, she held her big belly, ran out of the door with small steps, and shouted down from the second floor: "Aunt Wang, I'm hungry, hurry up and start eating!" Also, clean up the bedroom next to me, Ling Lian wants to stay at home!"

Xu Jiangtian chased after her and handed her a pair of soft-soled slippers made of satin: "Don't wear shoes, be careful of foot pain for a while."

Ling Lian looked at the figures of the husband and wife - the tall man squatted at his wife's feet, holding a small pink and purple slipper in his hand, and put it on his wife's white but slightly swollen little foot, for fear that the tie would strangle her foot, and he also tied a bow very loosely. Liu Xuanxuan half-leaned against the railing of the corridor and waved at herself with a smile: "Let's go, go downstairs to eat!"

Ling Lian was suddenly in a trance.

What she thought of was seeing Liu Xuanxuan for the first time. When she was scolded by the guests, and everyone stared at her with disgust, Liu Xuanxuan also waved to her like this and asked her to sit beside her.

If there is really such a thing as fate in the world, then meeting Liu Xuanxuan is probably the fate of their brother and sister, right?

Ling Lian took the initiative to walk over and squatted down with Xu Jiangtian: "Mr. Xu."

"There are no outsiders, you can call me by my name." Xu Jiangtian was very focused on putting shoes on Liu Xuanxuan, and didn't seem to deliberately pay attention to her.

"No, that's what she called."
