Chapter 175: This Is Your Older Brother
The misunderstanding started and was cleared up all in a short time.
After Ye Ziming sincerely apologized and gave a small gift that he had put some thought into, the issue was basically resolved. After all, Lin Muqing wasn’t a petty person.
But she did feel a bit of regret. When she instinctively wanted to share her happiness with her good buddy, she handed over her soda. Then her good buddy shamelessly took it and drank straight from it without hesitation.
“Mmm, not bad.”
After taking a sip of the fizzy drink, Ye Ziming thought it tasted pretty good and handed it back to Lin Muqing.
“Uh-huh.”
Feeling a little awkward, Lin Muqing looked down at the mouth of the can after taking it back, and suddenly hesitated. Even though this kind of thing had happened once or twice before, it still felt kind of wrong.
After all, this was an indirect kiss. Just thinking about it made her feel strange.
But... it was rare for her to have a soda. If she wasted it, who knew how long she’d have to wait until the next time she could drink one?
After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, Lin Muqing suddenly felt like maybe an indirect kiss wasn’t such a big deal. As long as she didn’t think too much about it, it wouldn’t feel awkward. So in the end, not a single drop of the soda went to waste.
“Ah!”
After finishing the soda and going to the bathroom, Lin Muqing picked up her phone to play a little, but suddenly remembered something.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Ziming was sitting at the computer desk at that time, just turning on the computer to let Lin Muqing play some games. When he heard her sudden gasp, he quickly turned around and asked with a puzzled look.
“I think I left my phone downstairs.”
As she spoke, Lin Muqing walked over to the bed and searched around for a while, but couldn’t find it.
“In the living room?”
“Yeah, probably. I’ll go look.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muqing stood up and walked out of the room to go downstairs by herself.
Meanwhile, Ye Ziming, seeing her leave, suddenly remembered something he wanted to talk to his mom about. So he followed her downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Meng Yue had agreed that the three Lin brothers would go home tonight, but before that, she wanted to spend a bit more time at the Ye house.
Since the issue had been resolved, the three brothers didn’t need to stay any longer. They got up to leave and planned to bring the good news back to Father Lin.
Just as the youngest brother, Lin Qiwen, was about to stand up and lead the way, Lin Muqing came down the stairs and entered the living room.
Seeing this, the three brothers immediately changed their minds and decided to stay for a bit longer. After all, they should at least get to know their future little sister.
“Auntie Lin.”
Walking over to the couch, Lin Muqing first looked at the three unfamiliar men, then greeted the Meng Yue politely.
She had already guessed earlier that they were probably here to see Auntie Lin, so she wasn’t surprised to see the three brothers in the living room.
“Oh, you’re awake. Come here, sit by me. Auntie has something to say to you.”
Seeing Lin Muqing arrive, Meng Yue replied to her greeting while patting the couch beside her, signaling her to sit down. At the same time, she thought to herself, this is the perfect chance to let her future daughter meet her three disappointing sons.
“What is it?”
Lin Muqing blinked curiously and obediently sat next to Meng Yue.
At that moment, the three Lin brothers all noticed one very obvious thing. Lin Muqing’s eyes looked very much like their mother’s. Especially now that they were sitting next to each other, the resemblance was almost too clear.

“Let me introduce you, they're all my sons…”
Meng Yue didn’t care how her three sons reacted. She simply grabbed Lin Muqing’s hand and started introducing them.
“This is the eldest, Lin Yiming. He’s the heir of the Lin family.
The second, Lin Zixuan. He’s a newly debuted celebrity and heartthrob.
And the third, Lin Qiwen. He’s still in college and plans to help the eldest in the future.”
“Oh, okay…”
Although Lin Muqing’s eyes were full of confusion and she didn’t really understand why Meng Yue was telling her all this, she didn’t interrupt. She just listened quietly and occasionally glanced at the three brothers.
While the two were talking, Ye Ziming also came into the living room. He walked over to his mother and whispered something to her.
“From now on, they’re your older brothers. If you ever have any problems, just go to them.”
After introducing her sons, Meng Yue went on to give a few instructions. She also gave Lin Muqing some “special rights”, like getting her sons to do things for her.
“Huh? Big brothers?”
Lin Muqing was once again shocked when she heard that. She turned her head to look at the three men, her expression very complicated.
She could vaguely tell that Meng Yue was trying to bring her closer to the three Lin brothers, or more accurately, closer to the Lin family.
But honestly, she only wanted to be close to Meng Yue. She had no interest in the Lin family at all.
Also, she didn’t expect that just by calling them “Big Brother,” the three brothers would suddenly go into a kind of stunned silence.
Everyone knows that people who are obsessed with having a little sister usually don’t have one, and the more they don’t, the more they want one.
At this moment, in the eyes of the three brothers, they saw an adorable, well-behaved girl calling them “Big Brother” in a soft, sweet voice.
Those two simple words were like a tiny fuse, small and easy to overlook, but enough to set off a huge explosion.
“Ah!”
After a short freeze, the three brothers all responded loudly and at the same time. You could tell they were genuinely reacting to Lin Muqing.
And then they froze again, clearly surprised by their own reactions.
They frowned slightly and gave each other some strange looks. No one said anything out loud, but…
‘She’s calling me!’
The three of them seemed to be communicating just with their eyes.
“!?”
Lin Muqing was stunned. She thought there was something seriously wrong with these three guys.
Unlike her, Meng Yue was smiling happily on the side. She could tell her sons really liked their new little sister.
Just look at their jealous looks and how excitedly they responded. It was enough to make Meng Yue feel at ease.
As for Ye Ziming and his mother, they were sitting nearby with amused smiles, clearly enjoying the show.
“We left the house in a bit of a rush today, so we didn’t have time to prepare a proper gift. How about this, you add me on WeChat for now, and I’ll send you a little gift later,” said the eldest, Lin Yiming, breaking the silence first.
He quickly adjusted his expression to look mature and reliable, flashed a polite smile, and took out his phone to add her.
“Yeah, it was kind of rushed,” Lin Zixuan said, taking out his phone too. “So how about you also add me? I’ve got a little gift I want to give you as well.”
“Since both my big brothers are giving gifts, I can’t be left out either! Add my WeChat too, okay?” said the youngest, Lin Qiwen, following right after.
Even though Lin Muqing wasn’t their real sister, and she hadn’t agreed to it, the three brothers were already calling her “little sister” like it was the most natural thing in the world.
As if… they’d been doing it for years.
At least in their dreams.
