"Yaoyao, I will accompany you." Jiang Lei noticed Jiang Yao had left, so he shouted and followed her.

Jiang Yao had already gone downstairs when Jiang Lei stopped her. She looked at the person who had caught up with her and asked, perplexed, "I am just going to get some wine. Why do you want to come with me?"

"It'll be heavy; can you carry them?" Jiang Lei pulled Jiang Yao down the stairs.

"It is only a couple of bottles. Why can't I carry it?" Jiang Yao responded. Since Jiang Lei was already there, so she did not push him away.

The snack bar was not far from their home, but the trek took a few minutes. Jiang Lei hurriedly snatched the bottles of wine and carried them after Jiang Yao had paid.

Jiang Yao looked at him; she wondered if he was only there to carry the bottles. Jiang Yao stood two steps behind Jiang Lei and stared at him. She felt that Jiang Lei seemed to be mentally deranged that day. He was unbelievably good to her.

"Yaoyao."

Jiang Lei waited for her when he realized that Jiang Yao had lagged behind. When she was near him, he said, "Yaoyao, look at how much you have grown. I haven't given you a proper hug yet. Come on; give me a hug. You were kidnapped today, and you scared me to death."

Jiang Yao was stunned. Before she could regain her senses, Jiang Lei held the wine bottles in one hand and pulled her into a hug with the other.

"Yaoyao, I won't bully you again, and I won't quarrel with you. I will do as you say in the future. You're my only sister, and if I don't comfort you, who should I comfort? You will always be my sister." Jiang Lei's heart ached whenever he thought of the words he overheard. He felt like he had been such a jerk in the past. Why did he not accommodate his sister more like his big brother?

He was still angry with her because of the thing with Yang Gaoshu's. In the end, she was the one who admitted defeat first. She did that because he was her brother.

She was his sister, but she was the first to give in to him.

His sister should have the best things in the world to make up for what she had missed.

"Jiang Lei, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Jiang Yao did not push him away; she could see that he was sincere. Instead, she looked at Jiang Lei in horror.

Jiang Lei was so emotional that Jiang Yao could not recognize him. Perhaps the kidnapping that day did not scare her and Lu Xiaoxiao, but it did terrify Jiang Lei.

Jiang Lei knew that Jiang Yao could not understand his feelings, so he did not explain further. After he released Jiang Yao, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Yao's head lovingly. He said, "Just remember what I said to you today. Let's go. It's windy and snowy. Let's head home."

Jiang Lei held the bottles of wine in one hand and pulled Jiang Yao, who was wearing gloves, back to their home. Jiang Yao was completely confused by Jiang Lei's actions, but she let him drag her home.

As soon as they entered the house, they smelled the aroma of the food. Even though Lu Xingzhi's culinary skills had improved over the past few days, it was still not comparable with Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu's culinary skills. As soon as they entered the house, Jiang Lei let go of her hand, and she ran to the kitchen. After she snuck a couple of bites, she left the kitchen happily and went to the balcony to get something. Then, she saw Chen Xuyao carrying something down the stairs.

"Xingzhi, Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao are here." Jiang Yao did not know Chen Xuyao would come, so she was surprised. "Are you two here to celebrate New Year with us?"
