I'm Not Prepared Yet

Hearing the reluctance in Zhong Wen's words, Shangguan Junyi was initially surprised but then revealed a gloomy expression. "Little brother, you are right. What you've done for me so far is already commendable. Asking you to put yourself in danger is too much."

"My older brother has climbed the ranks in the business world. However, if you think he conducts himself with absolute integrity, it's just self-deception," she continued without giving Zhong Wen a chance to reply. "No matter how he acts outside, he's exceptionally protective of his loved ones, including me, to the point of being meticulous."

"Junyi..."

"Zhong Wen, let me finish," Shangguan Junyi cut in before he could speak. "Our parents passed away early, and my older brother is significantly older than me. He has always played the roles of both a brother and a father. From a young age, he has been incredibly affectionate towards me, even more so than his daughter Mingyue."
