Long Yin threw her a glance and said airily, "Ducks with flat bills are noisy."
Yaoyao was bewildered for a moment before realizing that he was talking about her.
"You're awful, Royal Brother! How could you call your own sister a duck?"
"I didn't call you that. Why are you rushing to admit it?" A faint smile played on Long Yin's lips.
"Mother, Royal Brother's always bullying me." Yaoyao shook Lu Liangwei's arm sulkily.
Immediately, Lu Liangwei frowned in feigned disapproval. "Yin'er, how could you bully your sister? Apologize to her this instant."
"I wasn't talking about her," Long Yin said helplessly as he looked at Hexin. "Hexin, did I sound like I was talking about Yaoyao?"
Hexin, who had been focused on her meal all this time, glanced up at him, then at Yaoyao, and said in confusion, "I was eating and wasn't paying attention just now. What did you say?"
Long Yin gave her a long look.
