Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 852 - 841: A Dog-Blood Alternate Life

"Brother?" Shen Jingshu was startled by a shadow, and only after realizing it was Shen Jing’an did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She smelled the alcohol lingering in the air and frowned, "Brother, did you drink?"

"Jingshu." Shen Jing’an hiccupped, then suddenly hugged her, pleading, "Jingshu, don’t get engaged to Song Tianji, okay? Don’t marry him."

"Brother, you’re drunk, I’ll get you some hangover tea." As Shen Jingshu spoke, she tried to push him away.

Sensing her rejection, Shen Jing’an became even more emotional: "Don’t go, don’t leave me."

"Brother, let me go first." Shen Jingshu realized that their interaction was out of the ordinary and increased her strength.

But how could she, a girl, possibly be a match for Shen Jing’an, a grown man? Instead, she was held even tighter.

"Jingshu, I like you, you know I like you, right?" he whispered above her head.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu suddenly stopped her struggle, unable to move as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head, making it hard to think.

After a long pause, she softly replied, "Brother, you’re speaking nonsense again."

"I’m not speaking nonsense," Shen Jing’an loudly retorted, "I’m not speaking nonsense, I do like you, not in a brotherly way, but romantically."

As he spoke, he released Shen Jingshu from his embrace, facing her before suddenly aiming his lips at hers.

Shen Jingshu was completely stunned, she didn’t expect her brother to treat her this way. Though she knew he was drunk and their actions were wrong, she didn’t want to push him away at that moment.

Realizing she wasn’t rejecting him, Shen Jing’an grew bolder, engaging her in a passionate kiss.

With the one she loved also returning her feelings, and kissing her so earnestly, Shen Jingshu unconsciously became intoxicated, slowly beginning to respond.

The next morning, Shen Jing’an woke up in Shen Jingshu’s room. As he opened his eyes, Shen Jingshu was still sleeping peacefully in his arms. Remembering last night, he suddenly smiled.

Although they hadn’t gone all the way, he was certain of Jingshu’s feelings. It turned out he wasn’t alone in his wishful thinking; Jingshu liked him too.

Thinking about how Jingshu had responded to him, Shen Jing’an’s smile widened, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

"Mmm..." Shen Jingshu groaned uncomfortably, and upon fully awakening, saw Shen Jing’an smiling at her. She first felt overwhelming shyness, then her face turned pale, and she pushed him away forcefully.

"Jingshu?" Shen Jing’an felt a bit panicked and tried to hug her again, but she evaded him.

"Brother, nothing happened last night. You were drunk, just go back." Shen Jingshu avoided his gaze as she spoke.

Shen Jing’an was truly shocked, then endless disappointment and sadness followed. He chuckled bitterly, "I was drunk? Nothing happened yesterday? Was your response all just my delusion? Was everything just a dream?"

Listening to his questions, Shen Jingshu didn’t look at him, her tone hardened, "Brother, we’re siblings, let’s just consider yesterday a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Shen Jing’an stared at her, "How am I supposed to consider it a misunderstanding? Jingshu, I like you, I can feel that you like me too, don’t you? Why won’t you face it?"

"No, I don’t like you." Shen Jingshu knew if she gave Shen Jing’an even a glimmer of hope today, he’d continue to entangle indefinitely. The best choice was to maintain their sibling relationship.

"Are you really so heartless?" Shen Jing’an’s voice sounded very calm, making Shen Jingshu’s heart race even more.

"Brother, please go back." She could only say this.

Shen Jing’an stopped talking, returned to his room in silence, and as he heard the door shut next door, Shen Jingshu closed her eyes, a tear of pain slipping down her cheek.

"You siblings should go early tonight, today Qiu’er will formally appear before everyone, don’t be late," Li Wen Yin said happily over breakfast. She had spent a whole month preparing for today’s party, wanting everyone to know Ye Qiu was the real Eldest Lady of the Shen Family.

Hearing this, Shen Jing’an glanced worriedly at Shen Jingshu, realizing that after today, everyone would know she wasn’t the Shen Family’s biological daughter. Surely, they would look at her differently, and with that thought, his heart ached.

Yet he promptly turned cold. What was he worrying about? She would soon be the Song Family’s daughter-in-law, a status not less than a Shen Family Eldest Lady, protected by Song Tianji. Why should he worry?

Feeling Shen Jing’an’s cold gaze, Shen Jingshu’s eyes lowered, lips tightened, barely holding back tears.

"Qiu’er, what do you think of Mom wearing this necklace? Or this one?" Jiang Xiuqing, normally not one for jewelry, was today comparing several necklaces of diamond, jade, or blue gem.

"Mom looks good in any necklace," Ye Qiu said with a happy smile.

Beside them, Ye Yuejin snorted, "Your mom is just dressing up recklessly; come check out Dad’s watch instead. I’ve specially asked your brother to buy it, supposedly costing millions. It’s not embarrassing, right? I don’t understand the trend; it’s just a watch, fine for telling time, but why sell it so expensively?"

"Wearing such a costly watch doesn’t highlight your noble temperament, yet you criticize me," Jiang Xiuqing retorted, unhappy with her husband.

"What do you know, I’m doing this to uphold our daughter’s dignity, so those people don’t look down on her."

"I’m doing the same; without decent jewelry, people might think our family is poor, but we must show them our daughter is not acknowledging kin for the Shen Family’s money."

Listening to the couple bicker, Ye Qiu’s heart felt warm, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."

"Won’t you thank your brother too? Look at this necklace," Ye Chao entered and placed an open jewelry box in front of Ye Qiu. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Wow!" Ye Qiu exclaimed at the pink diamond, "Brother, where did you get such an expensive necklace?"

"Last time I went to Hong Kong, a client invited me to an auction. I felt the diamond would suit you well, so I bought it and had it designed into a necklace. Do you like it?"

Ye Chao spoke casually, but Ye Qiu knew how challenging it was. Although the Ye Family had wealth, it paled next to those aristocratic families, especially in a place like Hong Kong. Imagining the efforts Ye Chao made to win the diamond and have it perfected into such a masterpiece, it was clear he had put in a lot.

"Thank you, brother," she said, somewhat choked up.
