"Brother won't tell me."
This outing was taken advantage of his break; it would be impossible at other times.
Afterward, he would definitely lecture me. My brother had absolute power in S City, so he would know even without me saying anything.
"Then guess slowly. You'll know someday."
The young girl poked his handsome chin with three fingers.
The man grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.
"Every time I see you, my heart aches."
...A bit cheesy.
The young girl forcefully pulled her hand away and said faintly, "Let's go back." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The man's face was pale, his eyes locked onto her.
"Why can't you tell me?"
Xu Qian looked out the window, her voice growing colder.
"Because you did something wrong, and I'm very angry. When I'm in a good mood, I might tell you."
The man closed his eyes and obediently started the car, returning to the villa area.
Lunch had already been delivered. Tang Zhiyuan stepped forward to arrange the dishes and went to the kitchen to serve the rice.
Xu Qian didn't expect this man to serve her; he wasn't as considerate as his brother.
After sitting down, Xu Qian asked, "Isn't your brother eating?"
Tang Zhiyuan frowned slightly and said faintly, "He'll eat later. I'll have someone send another portion."
Xu Qian said "Oh" and didn't ask further.
Tang Zhishen was sometimes strange. He would occasionally go upstairs to rest for an hour or two and wouldn't come down, even when called. However, he usually disappeared when she was asleep.
After waking up and looking out from her room, most people were gone.
A "click" sound was followed by the clatter of high heels.
Xu Qian knew who it was without looking up.
It was Mrs. Tang, who delivered soup punctually every day.
"Zhishen, Qianqian, I came at the perfect time. Remember to drink your soup after you finish eating."
Xu Qian liked the beautiful Mrs. Tang very much. She smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Tang."
"Don't call me Mrs. Tang, call me Auntie~"
Xu Qian obediently called out, "Auntie~"
"Yes."
"Mommy, do you come every day?"
"Yes, don't you drink soup every day, and you're still asking such a question..." Suddenly, Mrs. Tang, clutching her bag, leaned in front of her son and examined him carefully.
"Ah, you're Zhiyuan."
Xu Qian: ...
This mother is a bit of a handful, not even distinguishing between her two sons?
"Is your brother upstairs?"
"Mm."
Mrs. Tang frowned, glancing at the two people eating together.
These two are... ?
She knew her son well. Even she rarely sat down to eat with her younger son. Could it be...
The woman's round eyes widened, and she raised her hand to cover her open mouth.
Could such a melodramatic plot be happening to her? Two brothers falling in love with the same woman...
After the meal, Xu Qian returned to her room to change.
Mrs. Tang pulled her younger son aside and asked softly, "Zhiyuan, you don't like Qianqian, do you?"
The man was stunned. Did he like Xu Qian?
He probably didn't.
He was just curious about their past.
Seeing her younger son's daze, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but exclaim, "Your brother likes Qianqian very much. You came later, you can't compete with your brother."
After saying that, she felt she had been too harsh. Mrs. Tang said softly, "You know your brother's situation. It's very difficult for him to like someone. Just let him have this one time. Later, Mom will find you a girl even more beautiful than Qianqian."
The man lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
Who came first and who came later?
"I understand, Mommy."
He understood his brother's situation. He would never fight his brother for a woman.
Even if... he liked her very much.
