    Cheng Yuqi joyfully epted it, her face lighting up with a bright smile. “Thank you, Eldest Brother. Try it too, even though it doesn’t look appealing, the fruit is surprisingly delicious!”


    At that moment, Auntie Wang approached with the first aid kit and crouched beside Cheng Yuqi. “Eldest Young Master, you may not be aware, but Lady Yuqi eagerly anticipates your return every day! My ears are nearly getting calluses from hearing about it!”


    Cheng Mohan’s gaze softened as he looked at his sister.


    Auntie Wang grinned. While disinfecting Cheng Yuqi’s hand, she added, “By the way, not too long ago, Lady Yuqi clinched the first ce in the pianopetition once again!” She discreetly omitted the detail that Fang Yuan was actually Master Qingyin.


    Cheng Mohan inquired, “What reward would you like?”


    Cheng Yuqi responded, “As long as you cane home often to keep mepany, that’s the greatest reward for me!”


    Cheng Mohan’s gaze became even more tender. “I’lle back when work isn’t too demanding.”


    “In that case, you’ve promised me. Fantastic! 1 knew you cherish me the most!” Cheng Yuqi beamed, resembling a child who had just acquired a beloved toy.


    After chatting for a while, Cheng Mohan stood up and headed upstairs as it was nearing the appointed time.


    Cheng Yuqi and Mother Wang exchanged satisfied nces. It seemed evident that Cheng Mohan still held her in his thoughts. Not only was she in his thoughts, but her status in the household was also substantial. Before Fang Yuan’s arrival, everyone in the family showered her with affection during her 18 years at home. This sentiment wasn’t easily reced, even after Fang Yuan had been back for more than ten days!


    Once Cheng Yuqi and Mother Wang left, the maids began to whisper among themselves.


    “Eldest Young Master’s routine is remarkably consistent. His bathing and sleeping habits haven’t changed in over a decade!”


    “That’s probably why the Old Master entrusted thepany to him. Among the five young masters, Eldest Young Master is the most disciplined,posed, and meticulous.”


    “Do you think it’s too rigid, though?”


    “How is that possible? It’s all about self-discipline! Someone with such strong willpower is just too captivating!”


    “I believe Eldest Young Master is the epitome of sobriety!”


    “I share the same sentiment.”


    After his shower, Cheng Mohan proceeded to the study for some work. He only returned to his bedroom when it was nearing bedtime.


    A beautifully wrapped gift box awaited him on the bedside table. ncing at it, he knew his sister wouldn’t be back so soon. He turned off the lights and settled into bed.


    When Fang Yuan returned home, it was already well past eleven in the evening. After freshening up, she attended to personal matters on her phone. The next morning, she headed back to theboratory.


    The concoction from the previous night hadn’t been sessfully synthesized. The research and development process had uncovered numerous challenges. To avoid causing concern to her parents, Fang Yuan hurriedly returned home. Rising before dawn, she made her way to theboratory.


    Cheng Mohan, waking up, found it somewhat surprising that his biological sister had already left the house. Most girls her age would relish sleeping in during holidays, but it seemed work took precedence for his sister. It appeared he would have to present the gift tonight.


    During breakfast, Cheng Yuqi continued to shower him with attention. Pouring milk, bringing sandwiches, and even handing him tissues, she was exceptionally attentive.


    “Eldest Brother, are youing home for dinner tonight?”


    With Cheng Yuqi clinging to him, Cheng Mohan calmly replied, “Yes.”


    “That’s wonderful! Then I’ll cancel my dinner ns with friends tonight!” Cheng Yuqi beamed. “Originally, we were nning for afternoon tea, spa, and dinner. But now that Eldest Brother is home, I’d rather spend time with you!”


    Qiao Xinhui, overhearing this, chuckled. “Yuqi truly holds you in high regard as her Eldest Brother. If you have the time, doe home more often.”


    “Alright.” Cheng Mohan gazed at Cheng Yuqi with warmth. If you find yourself free after breakfast, considering home more often.


    While engrossed in reviewing a document, Cheng Mohan suddenly recollected Ruan Nuo’s earlier mention.


    “You mentioned inviting me to judge a designpetition?”


    Ruan Nuo, surprised, hastily responded, “Yes, but you’re always busy, so 1 declined…”


    “I have some time.” Cheng Mohan’s tone remained nonchnt as he continued perusing the document. “I’ll participate.”


    Upon hearing this, Ruan Nuo was taken aback. The boss had never reversed a decision before! Today seemed unusually peculiar!


    Could it be that thepetition leveraged some connection or tactic to coerce the boss into agreeing? But the boss wasn’t one to easily yield…


    Cheng Mohan lowered his head to scrutinize the document and then recalled something. “Oh, and keep an eye on the clothingpany’s activities today.” Today marked the scheduled delivery of goods, and he was uncertain about how his biological sister would handle it. Ifplications arose, he intended to personally intervene.


    “Yes!” Ruan Nuo sensed that today’s boss appeared different. Not only did he rescind his previous decision, but he also demonstrated concern for a localpany.. It was indeed quite peculiar!
