Lu Ting took a shallow breath, “Sister really put thought into it.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Aren’t you going to wear it?”

Qiao Yun’s expression remained calm, her gaze clear as she looked at her wrist.

Lu Ting glanced at the bracelet and then at her clothing, which was worth thousands.

Is this thing even suitable?

“Tingting, try it on and see if it looks good.” Su Mian spared no praise, “The bracelet is really beautiful and matches with everything.”

Lu Ting reluctantly put on the cheap bracelet; if her friends saw her, they would probably laugh at her becoming low class.

Watching Lu Ting fasten the bracelet, every movement causing the dangling bells to jingle, Qiao Yun’s lips curled up slightly.

She added, “I will send the gift from your second brother later.”

Hearing this, Lu Family’s couple took it lightly, assuming Qiao Yun meant she would send it by courier.

The bracelet Qiao Yun gave was indeed practical; every step Lu Ting took, the clinking bells drew her family’s attention.

“…”

She couldn’t stand it any longer!

During lunch, she took the chance to take off the bracelet and throw it in the trash can.

Ha, finally comfortable.

Later, when she went downstairs for water, Qiao Yun caught sight of her.

“Why aren’t you wearing it, don’t you like it?”

Then Lu Ting was met with Su Mian’s reproachful eyes, forcing her to sheepishly go upstairs and dig through the trash to put the bracelet back on.

Tormented by the constant jingling.

Afterward, she discreetly threw it away a few more times.

“If you don’t like it, there’s no need to force yourself.”

“…”

“Do you really not like it?”

“…”

Qiao Yun simply stared at her quietly with her dark eyes, which frankly was quite unsettling.

Multiply such incidents, Lu Ting was tormented to the verge of mental exhaustion.

In the evening, seeing Lu Ting in a bad mood, Jingzhi couldn’t help but ask her, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Ting hesitated, “I really like the bracelet, but wearing it all the time affects my studies, yet I’m worried Sister will be unhappy if I take it off, especially since it has happened several times today.”

She worriedly said, “And I don’t know why it’s such a coincidence that she always catches me every time I take it off.”

A thought flashed through Jingzhi’s mind—could Qiaoqiao be making things difficult for Tingting?

But he quickly felt ashamed for thinking so negatively about his own sister.

“Qiaoqiao is probably just concerned whether you really like it, focusing so much on it because she just returned and feels a bit insecure, worried we won’t truly accept her.”

Lu Ting forced a smile, “I thought the same, that’s why I didn’t dare to be too close to mom and dad today.”

Jingzhi frowned slightly, sighing, “It’s tough on you. Just tell me if there’s a bracelet you do like, and I’ll get it for you.”

Lu Ting’s eyes brightened, “Big brother, why do you still treat me like a kid, always wanting to buy gifts to cheer me up.”

“What can I do, you’re my sister.”

Jingzhi affectionately ruffled her hair, pondering for a moment before saying, “Just wear the bracelet for now, take it off after a few days when Qiaoqiao isn’t focusing on it anymore.”

Lu Ting: “…”

Her smile was barely holding, so how much longer did she have to endure the constant jingling?

Late at night, after Jingzhi finished his work and was about to go upstairs to rest, he saw Qiao Yun holding a cup of milk coming downstairs, her face as exquisite as a porcelain doll but cool and indifferent, those dark eyes however, looked listless, oddly endearing.

Jingzhi couldn’t help but smile, “Little sister, go to bed early.”

Qiao Yun looked up at Jingzhi, her gaze still indifferent.

Jingzhi felt an itch in his hand, unable to resist the temptation to ruffle her hair.

But Qiao Yun turned her head to avoid it.

Jingzhi’s hand froze in mid-air, somewhat embarrassed.

He didn’t expect Qiao Yun to dodge, taking a moment to retract his hand, recalling the persistent issue that morning, he cleared his throat, “Qiaoqiao, you haven’t called me ‘big brother’ yet.”

He coaxed softly, “Big brother really wants to hear it.”
