âAh, Hui Min, donât mention it anymore, letâs go.â@@novelbin@@
Lin Mulin and He Biqiu, who had been living in Capital City for a long time, recognized Lin Jinyun and awkwardly reached out to pull her back.
âFourth Brother, when did you come back?â
Lin Qingluo happened to arrive at the rockery at this moment and upon seeing the handsome young man holding a tiger cub, her eyes brightened and she quickly approached him.
âJust an incense stickâs worth of time ago, I just entered the house.â
Lin Jinyunâs eyebrows softened, and he lovingly looked at his little sister, âI heard from the attendant that you were at the Martial Arts Arena, so I came to see you.â
âFourth Brother, can you stay at home for a few days?â
Lin Qingluoâs gaze flickered, subconsciously asking the same question as Second Aunt Lin.
âOnly about, two days.â
Lin Jinyun looked at his little sister with some regret, âFather has sent a letter, asking me to go to the border of Beiqi Kingdom to gain experience under his guidance.â
âBeiqi?â
Lin Qingluoâs heart sank.
Beiming was in internal strife, the border was temporarily safe, but the Beiqi Kingdomâs strength was increasing daily, making the border the most dangerous place.
âDonât worry about Fourth Brother, I will take care of myself.â
Lin Jinyun, with his keen intuition, saw his sisterâs worry and in turn gently reassured her.
âYes, Qingluo believes in Fourth Brother.â
Lin Qingluo suddenly smiled and affectionately hooked her arm around her brotherâs.
âSince Fourth Brother rarely comes back, Qingluo will host a dinner tonight, invite Brother Meng and the others, and weâll go to Blessing Feast Restaurant for a meal to welcome Fourth Brother.â
âIâm leaving the day after tomorrow, why have a welcome party?â
Lin Jinyun was amused and lovingly rubbed her head.
Lin Qingluo laughed cheekily, âTonight is the welcoming party, tomorrow is the farewell party, we canât miss either affair.â
âYou, always mischievous.â
Lin Jinyunâs eyebrows rose as he looked radiant.

âWow, Qingluo and her brother get along so well.â
Princess Huimin only realized this at this moment, forgetting about the tiger cub, her beautiful eyes never leaving the affectionate brother and sister.
âYes, yes.â
Li Mulin also sighed in admiration, âMy brother has never been so gentle to me.â
âAs for my eldest brother, sigh.â
He Biqiu pouted with disdain, âItâs not worth mentioning.â

âFourth Brother, these are the good friends I recently made, He Biqiu and Li Mulin, both are granddaughters of grandfatherâs good friends; you should know them.â
Lin Qingluo noticed the girlsâ conversation and smiled amiably, naturally introducing them to her fourth brother.
âNice to meet you both.â
Lin Jinyun naturally recognized He Yaoâs sister, and he also had a vague impression of Li Mulin, having met her a few times.
âHehe, nice to meet you, Fourth Brother Lin.â
The two young ladies, facing Lin Jinyunâs gentle gaze, rubbed their hands nervously, their ears slightly red.
âPrincess Huimin, the pearl of the Kingdom of Qiâs residence, has just returned from the Southern frontier; Fourth Brother might not be very familiar with her.â
Lin Qingluo smiled and introduced Princess Huimin to her fourth brother.
âOh, you just arrived from the Southern frontier? No wonder I havenât seen you beforeâ¦â
Lin Jinyun smiled knowingly, his eyes flickering, but he managed to swallow the words âspoiledâ and âwilfulâ before saying them out loud.
Princess Huiminâs face stiffened, the smile on her face frozen.
Although she was a bit wild in nature, she wasnât foolish and naturally understood his hidden meaning.
Not mentioning it outright was enough to make her feel extremely ashamed.
âHui Min has a straightforward personality and doesnât play coy which suits my temper.â
Lin Qingluo tactfully defused the situation for her friend, âLittle Sister likes girls with true temperament like her.â
âIf Little Sister likes it, then itâs naturally good.â
Lin Jinyunâs indulgent love for his sister was overflowing, and he naturally went along with her words.
