158 Chaos Around the World (1/2)

Dragon Palace Homes #10.

The last time the four brothers hung out together was when Jin Liwei took Iris to the farm villa for their first date. Each of them had their own different careers. It was not easy for them to match their schedules, especially for Jin Liwei who was the head of the number one company in the country and Wang Yingjie who was a surgeon from a busy hospital. Compared to the two of them, Lin Yehan and Yu Mo had more regular schedules.

Today, the four brothers gathered at Jin Liwei's enormous residence. They were at the indoor tennis courts.

They alternated opponents until they all played against each other a few times. Finally, they decided to stop when they felt too tired to continue. They were all panting and drenched in sweat.

Servants instantly appeared to give them water bottles and towels before withdrawing to give the brothers privacy.

Wang Yingjie was very observant. He turned to Jin Liwei. ”Third Brother, is it just me or are your servants more eager to serve than usual? There's also something that I noticed. I've seen no signs of your presence in your house. Perhaps you were just too busy working that you haven't stayed here for a while?”

”En. I haven't been staying here. Xiulan and I have been living together at her place.”

”What?!” Yu Mo exclaimed. ”Third Bro, is that true?! Since when?! Why haven't you told us?! And I'm so sad! I go to Xiao Xiu's place every week but she never told me. I had no idea.”

”I moved in with Xiulan after I returned from my Canadian business trip.”

Yu Mo: ”So long ago and you never told us! Are we still your brothers?”

Jin Liwei gave his Fourth Brother a side-eye, not bothering to reply.

”Seems like you're quite serious about your relationship with her,” Lin Yehan commented with his usual gentle voice.

”En. I plan to marry her,” Jin Liwei said with a nod.

All three brothers stared at him with wide eyes. Yu Mo's expression was the most comical. His mouth opened and closed like a gasping fish out of water. His eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets.

Yu Mo: ”Y-you…what…”

Lin Yehan had a thoughtful expression.

Wang Yingjie just nodded, as if he already expected it. His eyes were on Jin Liwei's left wrist. He immediately knew what LX on his brother's bangle stood for even without asking.

The four brothers headed to the showers. Yu Mo pestered Jin Liwei on the way, asking him all sorts of questions about his relationship with Iris. Jin Liwei answered some of them, but mostly just ignored his Fourth Brother's nonsense. After showering, they entered the adjoining sauna buck naked with only a single towel each.

”It would have been better if Fifth Brother is with us,” Lin Yehan sighed. ”Third Brother, you met with Fifth Brother while you were in Toronto, right? How is he?”
