âSizhe, Iâm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?â
Jian Dan asked as she hugged her belly.
She did not eat much during dinner, and after what had happened just now, she was already starving.
âYou sure are indifferent. Wait here. Iâll go see whatâs in the kitchen and get you some food!â
After giving Jian Dan a thumbs up, Sizhe got up and went to the kitchen.
âYou said that your name is Jian Dan?â
âYup!â
âAlthough itâs a little presumptuous, I still would like to ask how many years of age are you, my lady.â
âIlahaha! Simiao, why are you talking like an ancient person? How interesting!â
âAhem! Yours truly is only 20 years old.â Jian Dan went along with Shang Simiao.
Twenty years old? Sheâs only 20 years old? What the h *11 is Sizhe doing? He found a lass so much younger than himself.
âSo you are a freshman in college, right?!â
âNo, Iâm a senior now.â
âSenior? When did you get accepted to college?â
âFifteen!â
She went to college at the age of is. She looked like a smart girl.
âWhat is your major?â
âComputer science!â
Jian Dan did not notice anything amiss in the questions Shang Simiao asked her and answered them truthfully.
âThereâs nothing to eat in the kitchen. Iâve asked Mrs. Zhang to whip something up for you, but youâll have to wait for a while.â
Sizhe came out of the kitchen and sat on the couch.
âAlright! Iâll endure it for a while.â
âThe two of you seem to be chatting quite well. What were you talking about just now?â
âNothing much. Just making conversation. Asking me how old I am and what major Iâm studying, etc.â
Jian Dan said callously.
âSimiao, are you doing a census?â
âIâm just trying to get to know her!â
Just then, a helper walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of piping hot noodles and placed it on the dining tableâ¦
âWow, it smells so good!â Jian Dan followed the smell to the table. She picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Sizhe moved closer to Simiao and whispered, âSimiao, youâre asking all these because youâve taken a fancy to her?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about, you rascal?!â
âIâm telling you, donât have any ideas about her.â
âDonât worry, how can I steal the girl you like?â
âD*mn it. Simiao, what are you thinking?!â
It turned out that his brother had misunderstood his relationship with Jian Dan.
âShe and I are not what you think.â
He would never dare to have any ideas about Jian Dan! He was not tired of living.
Besides, he already had someone in his heart.
âWhatâs there to hide from me? I wonât object to the two of you. I think this girl is not bad. Seize the opportunity!â
âSimiao, can you stop trying to matchmake us? Weâre really not a couple!â
âThen⦠why did you bring her home?â
âForget it. Itâs a long storyâ¦â
Sizhe briefly told Simiao what had happened.
âSee? So weâre really not a couple. Her current identity is my sister-in-law!â
âYou rascal. You really know how to cause trouble for me, donât you?â
âThat canât be helped. It was an emergency. You command much more respect and influence than me.â
The reason why Sizhe said that Jian Dan was his sister-in-law was because Li Jing had said that Jian Dan was Chu Liyuanâs woman, and Zhuang Meiqi refused to believe him. He couldnât possibly put himself in danger again, right?!Moreover, Zhuang Meiqi seemed determined to win over Chu Liyuan, so⦠in order to save Jian Dan from Zhuang Meiqi as soon as possible, he could onlyâ¦
However, he did not expect Zhuang Meiqi to not believe him. That was why she sent someone to send them back and monitor them. She even asked his brother to bring Jian Dan to the ball.
If Jian Dan did not attend the ball as his brotherâs woman, she would definitely attack Jian Dan again. Hence, before Chu Liyuan returned, they had to carry on with the act.
âThen why donât you just get Chu Liyuan to step in?â
âYou think I donât want to? I canât reach him, and I donât know what heâs so busy with that he doesnât turn on his cell phone.â
He had called Chu Liyuan a long time ago, but was unable to contact him. He had no choice but to come up with this plan.
âTherefore, before Chu Liyuan returns, this act has to go on. Hence, she will be staying here for the time being. Also, on that dayâ¦â
âGot it. Iâll bring her along!â
This matter concerned Sizhe and Chu Liyuan, so he had to help no matter what!
âSizhe, the people outside should have left, right? Can I go back now?â
Jian Dan asked Sizhe after she finished the bowl of noodles and returned to the living room.
âSister-in-law, you canât go back yet!â
âWhy?â
âZhuang Meiqi wonât believe you so easily, so you have to be careful. Stay here for the next few days!â
âStay here??â
âThatâs right! For your safety, youâll stay here before Chu Liyuan comes back. Your current identity is my brotherâs fiancee and my future sister-in-law.â âSeriously?â
âZhuang Meiqi is no ordinary rich young lady. Sheâs ruthless. Human lives are nothing to her. You donât want Chu Liyuan to come back and see your corpse, right?â
âIs it as scary as you say?â
âIâm definitely not exaggerating. Havenât you seen it today?â
âShe doesnât even give two hoots about Uncle?â
âOf course she doesnât dare to offend Chu Liyuan, but heâs not around now! If anything happens to you during this period, even if Chu Liyuan comes back and destroys the Zhuang family, it wonât change anything, right?â
âWhat you said seems to make sense!â
âItâs good that you know. If something really happens to you, I canât even imagine what Chu Liyuan will become.â
He had seen how Chu Liyuan treated Jian Dan. He kicked up such a big fuss over a mere Cold Womb Syndrome. With Chu Liyuanâs care for Jian Dan, he was really worried if something really happened to Jian Dan⦠He wondered what would happen to Chu Liyuan.
Therefore, he had to protect Jian Dan.
âI understand! Letâs do as you say!â
Uncle was currently fighting a battle, so she definitely mustnât be a burden to him at this time.
âAlright! Then from now on, your identity is my future sister-in-law. You have to remember this and donât give yourself away.â
âSimiao, your current persona is that of an uxorious man who dotes on your fiancee to the core. Can you do that?â
Sizhe looked at his brother in disbelief.
He knew his brother very well. He was gentle and kind when dealing with people. He could deal with anything calmly as if nothing could make him anxious. He had never seen his brother lose control because of anyone or anything in so many years.
Hence, he was really worried. He did not know if his brother could pull off the character of an uxorious man..
