"Um....mom, dad. Let's talk about this after breakfast..?" Qin Yue finally couldn't stand this heavy silence anymore and made a noble self-sacrifice to break this silence.

"Yes yes, Yue'er is right. Let's have breakfast now." Father Ruan immediately agreed after hearing his daughter's timely rescue then got up from his seat and headed towards the dining hall together with Ruan Jing Xin without giving any time for madam Ruan to continue arguing. She could only grit her teeth and swallow down the words stuck in her throat.

"Mom, calm down a bit. Don't let your anger harm your health. Let's first have breakfast and discuss this properly after that, okay?" Qin Yue sat beside madam Ruan and held her arm in a cute way as she tried to coax her.

Since her task also included to treat her family well and protect them then she must try to mend the relationship between the Ruan couple and not let them break apart like in the previous storyline.

Although madam Ruan was feeling angry and heartbroken inside, she still loved her daughter very much and couldn't bear to make her unhappy so she just bottled up her grievances and finally agreed.

"Mom will listen to Yue'er. My Yue'er has grown up. Mom is very happy." Madam Ruan smiled very gently and patted Qin Yue's head endearingly.

The Ruan couple indeed spoiled and treasured the previous owner so much but unfortunately, she didn't know how to cherish it until she lost everything. If she could have just chosen her family over love, maybe her ending wouldn't have been so bad nor would the Ruan family have declined.

You just reap what you sow.

....

In the dining hall, it was very quiet but not as awkward as before. Other than the occasional sounds of the dishes and chewing, nobody spoke a single word as they just focused on eating their meal.

Qin Yue especially didn't care about the silence and happily ate the food. After all that drama, she felt that the tiger in her stomach was about to roar in anger.

Who cares about anything else when there is food? Everything else can just go to hell.

If you got a problem, come and fight me!

"Er...Yue'er, since you and Xin'er are done eating, why don't you bring your little brother to tour around the house?" After finishing their meal, father Ruan looked at Qin Yue and quickly handed over the little Jing Xin to her and chased them away with that excuse. 

What awaited him was a fierce argument with his wife so he couldn't let the children get caught up in it.

"Ah?...oh, okay." Qin Yue, who had just finished her meal was startled when she heard him call her then quickly got to her senses and nodded quite reluctantly.

"Xin'er, go with your elder sister. You two be careful, ah. Go, go." Father Ruan waved his hand at them then quickly went to his room with madam Ruan in tow. Another war was about to start....but it didn't matter to her so she just shrugged and got up from her seat.

The servants quickly cleared up the dishes. Little Ruan Jing Xin quietly got up from his seat and came to her side. Qin Yue was half a head taller than the little Jing Xin who hadn't hit his puberty yet so he had to lift his head up slightly to look at her.

Qin Yue also calmly looked at this cute little guy.

Two pairs of eyes met and commenced the start of a staring contest. After few minutes of staring... 

Qin Yue quietly lifted her hand and then...

*poke*

Little Jing Xin:......?!

The little Jing Xin who was suddenly poked on his ticklish belly had a very funny, bewildered look on his face at the moment. 

The look of disbelief and embarrassment fleeting through his colourful expressions and his adorable eyes blinking in confusion made him look so cute that she wanted to pinch his cheeks and hug him tightly. 

"Pfft-!" The main culprit was even so cruel to the little guy that she laughed aloud without any shred of conscience.

"Fufu, you finally look like a kid of your age. Don't always make such a straight face like a big adult. Your little cute face is really a waste with that expression." Qin Yue chuckled softly then rubbed his head lightly, again making the little guy stunned stiff.

As if not noticing his stiffness, Qin Yue just turned around, wanting to leave the place and give her new little brother a tour around the house.

"Xiao Xin Xin, let's go and have a tour around the house with big sister." Not waiting for his reply, she just strolled out of the dining hall in a leisurely manner.

The stunned 'xiao xin xin' finally came back to his senses then raised his hand to touch his head, where Qin Yue just rubbed at with a dazed expression.

He suddenly felt a strange and indescribable feeling well up inside his heart, making his heart feel warm and fuzzy. Along with the change in his heart, his fair, cute ears, cheeks and neck also became an adorable pink, looking as if blood would ooze out of his tender skin.

Ruan Jing Xin really couldn't tell what was happening to him and could only keep it to himself, feeling confused and perplexed.

This was the first time someone other than his mother patted his head so gently which made him unable to react in time so he was at a loss at what he should do.

"Xiao Xin Xin, you don't want to come with big sister? If you don't then I won't wait anymore." Just as Ruan Jing Xin was still at a loss, Qin Yue's voice came in from outside the dining hall. He finally remembered that she was waiting for him so he quickly walked out of the hall.

As he walked out of the hall, he saw Qin Yue sitting on the sofa like a lazy cat while waiting for him. She raised her head and looked at the little guy who finally decided to come out and got up, walking towards him.

"Xiao Xin Xin, let's go." Qin Yue smiled gently at the quiet little guy and reached out her hand at him.

Ruan Jing Xin quietly stared at her hand for awhile and just as she thought that he wouldn't take it, he put his hand on hers and grasped it firmly.

"Okay, big sister." Ruan Jing Xin said in a low voice but she heard it loud and clear, feeling surprised.

This was the first time she heard him speak ever since he came in the house. She thought he wouldn't speak to anyone for a while since he was after all brought into an unfamiliar place. So it was a pleasant surprise to hear him talk to her voluntarily.

His voice was a bit sweet and pleasant to the ear. 

Qin Yue suddenly thought of her own little brother when he was about this age. Her calm and indifferent eyes softened and a very gentle smile appeared on her lips, lighting up her beautiful face.

Ruan Jing Xin stared at her blankly as he felt the temperature on his face rise up , his face became beet red and his eyes started to wander around, unable to continue looking straight at her.

Seeing his embarrassed cute face, Qin Yue chuckled in amusement and held his hand, gently pulling him with her to go on a tour.

....

The tour around the house took about 2 hours. The Ruan family house was not very big but still was very luxurious and was to her taste. Although they had so much money and were one of the richest families, they weren't very extravagant and didn't like to show off much.

Although the previous owner was a wilful and arrogant person, she was still someone who had the same taste as her parents so she wasn't like other typical supporting female leads who only knew to flaunt their money and status.

When the two returned to the living room, father Ruan and madam Ruan had already come to a conclusion to their fierce war. Although unwilling, madam Ruan still agreed to accept Ruan Jing Xin to the family.

Father Ruan was satisfied with the outcome and quickly let his close aide to complete registering Ruan Jing Xin's name in the family register.

"Xin'er, your room has already been tidied up. Let your big sister take you to your room. If you want anything, feel free to tell me, I will definitely buy it for you, okay?" Father Ruan said as he smiled like a kind father at Ruan Jing Xin.

Qin Yue's lips twitched a bit.

Does he take me as a servant to his son or something?

Forget it, this treasure won't take a mortal's words too seriously.

After having lunch together as father Ruan occasionally spoke to his son and daughter, Qin Yue brought little Jing Xin to the second floor to show him his room.

The second floor was originally occupied wholly by Ruan Yue Yue herself since no one else was there to live in other empty rooms. Now that Ruan Jing Xin came, he also got a room in the second floor which was right beside her own room.

Opening the door to the room, what came in their sight was a well decorated interior that most of the boys in little Jing Xin's age liked. Father Ruan indeed treated him with care and managed everything well in no time.

"Xiao Xin Xin, this will be your room from now on. If you need anything, you can just knock on my door which is right beside your room. Now go and take a shower, you must be tired. I'll tell someone to prepare a new clothing for you. For now, you can only do with it. Later, I'll take you out to buy new clothes for you."

Qin Yue's big sister side quickly came online as she meticulously took care of her new little brother.

En, my little brother deserves the best.

"Okay, big sister. I will listen to you." Ruan Jing Xin obediently nodded like a good kid then waved at her and closed the door from inside.

See? Her brother was so cute. Little brothers are meant to be spoiled and pampered. No one is more deserving to be loved than your own cute little brother.

Qin Yue, who was feeling very proud of her 'cute' little brother seemed to have gone back to her 'bro-con' mode as she forgot her little brother's 'true' nature in the story plot.

She could only swallow her tears later when her 'cute' little brother's illness flared up.

The whole weekend just went like this as night fell and everyone went back to sleep in their bedroom after a good meal.
