During the meal, Lin Zhixia gave full play to her good manners, and her every move at the dining table was elegant, as if she were an etiquette teacher.

  Shen Yuechuan also became a warm-hearted man who cared about his girlfriend. He not only served Lin Zhixia soup and dishes, but also asked her if the food appealed to her.

  If Lin Zhixia nodded with satisfaction and said yes, Shen Yuechuan would smile, and his smile could almost warm the snowy mountains in the South Pole.

  Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt that the delicious dishes on the table had lost their flavor.

  This was a side of Shen Yuechuan that she never knew.

  It seemed that Shen Yuechuan really fell in love with Lin Zhixia, didn’t he?

  Because of love, he became so considerate and gentle, only to Lin Zhixia, rather than anyone else.

  Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips. “Humph, I’m not jealous at all!”


  After dinner, Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia left early.

  Xiao Yunyun quickly sorted out her emotions and forced herself to forget how good Shen Yuechuan was to Lin Zhixia.

  It was the last critical moment now. She couldn’t expose herself in front of Su Jian’an. She absolutely couldn’t!

  Xiyu and Xiangyi had fallen asleep, so they couldn’t play with them. Thus, the group of adults had to eat fruit together.

  The moment he sat down, Su Yicheng asked, “Is Yuechuan going to get married?”


  Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with curiosity. “Why do you ask that?”


  Su Yicheng just said, “If Yuechuan is not going to get married, he wouldn’t introduce his girlfriend to us. But is he certain about marrying this girl?”


  “Yunyun, don’t you work with that girl?” Luo Xiaoxi shifted her attention to Xiao Yunyun and asked, “What do you think?”


  “We’re in different departments and I only come into contact with her occasionally.” Xiao Yunyun just said honestly, “Lin Zhixia has a good character. She is very good at taking care of others and is well-educated. It will be a great honor for a man to go out with her. For Shen Yuechuan, she’s a good candidate for marriage.”


  “Our comments are meaningless. It all depends on Yuechuan in the end.” Luo Xiaoxi played with an apple and said, “If Yuechuan really likes Lin Zhixia, they must get married.”


  Xiao Yunyun’s heart suddenly sank, but she looked very calm. She bit a red grape and nodded in deep agreement.

  Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng drove Xiao Yunyun home.

  Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and said, “Do I need to get a car? It’s a waste of time for you to drive me home.”


  “Just pick out a car from our garage,” Luo Xiaoxi said. “If you don’t like any of them, you can pick one out from Jian’an’s house. Boss Lu likes cars, and they have more top-grade cars!”


  Xiao Yunyun bit her lip. She was intrigued, but became upset when thinking about a key point, saying, “I have my Australian driver’s license, but not a domestic one……”


  “Give your international driver’s license to Yuechuan,” Su Yicheng said. “He’s familiar with applying for a domestic driver’s license. After getting the license, if you don’t like the old car, you can buy a new one.”


  “Shen Yuechuan is busy with love and work, so he should be very busy.” Xiao Yunyun rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while. Then she said, “I’ll apply for it myself so I don’t bother him.”


  The next day during lunch in the hospital, Xiao Yunyun received a call from Shen Yuechuan about her application for a domestic driver’s license.

  “Yes.” Xiao Yunyun asked in a daze, “Did my cousin-in-law tell you about that?”


  Shen Yuechuan replied with a “hmm”, then said, “When you are free, give me your Australian license and I’ll apply for a domestic one for you. You can get it in about three days. It won’t be troublesome.”


  Xiao Yunyun didn’t stand on ceremony. “I’ll give it to you after work!”


  She originally thought that she could get off work on time that day, but when she was about to leave, the situation of a patient who just had an operation the day before suddenly worsened. Dr. Liang and Dr. Xu went to try and save the patient together. She was pulled into the operating room as an assistant.

  After the patient was saved, it was already past eight o’clock. A group of hungry people made an appointment to have hotpot. Xiao Yunyun agreed to join them.

  While walking out of the hospital, Xiao Yunyun took out her mobile phone from the bag and saw more than a dozen missed calls from Shen Yuechuan.

  She was stunned and hurried to call him back, but before she could speak, she was shouted at by Shen Yuechuan.

  “Where are you? Why didn’t you answer the phone?”


  “.…… I just came out of the operating room.” Xiao Yunyun explained in a timid voice, “A patient who had an operation was not doing well. I just got off work after saving him for several hours.”


  Only then did Shen Yuechuan say in a relaxed tone, “When will you send me your driver’s license?”


  “We’re going to have hotpot. It’s a little late.” Xiao Yunyun coughed and asked vaguely, “But if I go to see you later, will it be…… convenient for you?”


  “What if Lin Zhixia is at Shen Yuechuan’s house? It’s not proper for me to go there in the middle of the night.”


  “You think too much at such a young age.” Shen Yuechuan said grumpily, “I have to work overtime to deal with business today. I’m alone in the apartment. You can come straight here after having hotpot.”


  “Shen Yuechuan isn’t with Lin Zhixia?”


  Xiao Yunyun was inexplicably pleased. “Yes, sir!”


  “Don’t eat too late.”


  Maybe it was because Xiao Yunyun acted too obediently that Shen Yuechuan’s voice unconsciously softened, and he hung up the phone after giving her a few words of advice.

  Just because of his last sentence, Xiao Yunyun gave up her favorite food, hotpot, and left the restaurant early. She took a taxi and went straight to Shen Yuechuan’s apartment building.

  The security guard still remembered Xiao Yunyun, so he directly opened the elevator for her and let her go upstairs.

  The elevator soon reached the top floor. Xiao Yunyun rushed out and pressed hard on the doorbell of Shen Yuechuan’s house.

  After a while, the high-tech security door was slowly pushed open, and Shen Yuechuan, who was wrapped in a bath towel, appeared behind the door. His short black hair was still dripping with water.

  Xiao Yunyun had to admit that Shen Yuechuan was the kind of person who looked thin in clothes and muscular when naked.

  As soon as he took off his suit, his well-shaped abdominal muscles, attractive chest muscles, and beautiful lines of his shoulders were exposed.

  Xiao Yunyun didn’t know why she felt a little thirsty. She swallowed her saliva and understood what was meant by: manly seduction.

  However, Shen Yuechuan was her brother. It seemed that she shouldn’t have such a kind of reaction.

  Only then did Xiao Yunyun widen her eyes and look frightened, saying, “Shen Yuechuan, why did you come out without putting on your clothes first?”


  “Stop pretending.” Shen Yuechuan directly exposed Xiao Yunyun. “You almost drooled just now.”


  Xiao Yunyun wiped the corner of her mouth subconsciously. “Liar. There’s nothing there at all!”


  But since he had seen through her, she could admit it.

  “You are really well-shaped.” Xiao Yunyun added, “If all the men in the world had the consciousness of keeping a good figure like you, the girls would be very happy!”


  Shen Yuechuan stepped aside and said, “Come in.”


  Xiao Yunyun walked inside while looking for her driver’s license in her bag. She was about to set it down when she saw a jewelry box on the tea table in the living room.

  Cartier.

  What was more eye-catching than this logo was the ring lying in the box.

  An unmarried man, a ring……

  Everyone on the Earth could guess what Shen Yuechuan was going to do.

  Her excitement and joy all disappeared immediately. Xiao Yunyun felt as if she had suffered a heavy blow. Her heart kept sinking, as if it was going to sink into hell.

  Seeing Xiao Yunyun standing there in a daze with the license in her hand, Shen Yuechuan pretended to know nothing and tapped her head. “What’s wrong?”


  “You……” Xiao Yunyun pointed at the ring on the tea table and asked unnaturally, “are you going to propose to Zhixia?”


  Shen Yuechuan replied with a “hmm” then said in a tone of both certainty and sweetness, “I’ve made up my mind.”


  “But—” Xiao Yunyun couldn’t wait to say in an uncontrollably-trembling voice, “You haven’t known each other for long!”


  “So, we’ll get engaged first.” Shen Yuechuan said, “We’ll get along with each other for a while. As long as Zhixia agrees, I’ll choose the time to hold a wedding.”


  Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan in a daze. She opened her mouth slightly and could not say a word for a long time.

  Shen Yuechuan could tell that Xiao Yunyun was trying her best to control her emotions.

  He believed that Xiao Yunyun could control herself. At this moment, he also needed her to control herself.

  However, Xiao Yunyun’s thoughts were in a tangle.

  If Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia got married, it meant that he would only belong to Lin Zhixia forever.

  They would give birth to lovely children like Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an had and form a happy and complete family.

  “Then, what about me?”


  Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help thinking, “What should I do after Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia get married?”


  Must she live alone in a distant and strange country and hold onto unrequited love?

  Even if she could come back, she would have to watch Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia be happy, right?

  After Shen Yuechuan married Lin Zhixia, she would lose the right to get close to Shen Yuechuan, wouldn’t she?

  Xiao Yunyun’s breathing became more and more rapid, and she almost couldn’t control herself. She could only clench her hands hard into fists, and blue veins appeared on her white arms.

  Shen Yuechuan noticed that something was wrong and called Xiao Yunyun. “Yunyun?”


  Xiao Yunyun did not know if it was her illusion or not, but Shen Yuechuan’s voice sounded particularly gentle.

  Shen Yuechuan had always been loath to show his tenderness to her. In the future, he would only show his tenderness to Lin Zhixia, wouldn’t he?

  Xiao Yunyun subconsciously refused such a thing and blurted out, “No”.

  “.……”


  Shen Yuechuan had thought that Xiao Yunyun would control herself, tease him with a smile, and pretend to sincerely bless him.

  That was enough. He did not need Xiao Yunyun’s sincere blessing. He just wanted her to give up on him.

  But, she said no?

  She had disguised herself for so long, but at the last moment, she couldn’t control herself?

  Shen Yuechuan’s thoughts were chaotic. When he looked at Xiao Yunyun again, her eyes were already red.

  Thus, Shen Yuechuan was even more at a loss.

  His reason told him that before Xiao Yunyun said it, before it was too late, he should end this topic immediately, so that Xiao Yunyun could regain her senses and keep her secret of having fallen in love with him.

  However, his attention was fixed on Xiao Yunyun’s tears.

  How many times had she cried secretly because of him?

  If he interrupted her and woke up her senses in this way, how long would she secretly cry after she went back? How many Stilnox pills would she have to take before she could fall asleep?

  The sharp heartache crushed his reason. In the end, Shen Yuechuan still didn’t stop Xiao Yunyun.

  As for Xiao Yunyun, she had completely lost her mind.

  She forgot about being related by blood. She only knew one thing: she didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to marry Lin Zhixia, and she didn’t want to see Shen Yuechuan be so considerate to Lin Zhixia, either.

  Once, she had used up all her courage to let Shen Yuechuan know her feelings for him, but she unexpectedly learned that Shen Yuechuan was her brother.

  After that, she didn’t know how long she had been lost or how many times she had cried, and now she even needed sleeping pills to fall asleep.

  However, Shen Yuechuan told her that he would marry Lin Zhixia after the engagement.

  Just like what she had said to Qin Han, she could not bless Shen Yuechuan.

  On the contrary, if Shen Yuechuan got married and had children, she would be loath to live.

  “No.” Xiao Yunyun seemed to be rejecting some kind of harm. She grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s arm and looked at him pleadingly. “Shen Yuechuan, don’t marry Lin Zhixia……”


  “.……” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun and asked after a long silence, “Won’t it be good to have her as your sister-in-law?”
