Chapter 892 - I’m Not Your Bro (1/2)
Lu Zihao, no, Nikolai turned his gaze away from the sleeping Long Jinjing and returned to his previous spot in front of the glass windows. His reflection was superimposed on the city's glittering night lights. His expression looked impassive as if he was truly enjoying the urban view outside. On the inside, however, he was busy having a frustrating argument with the remnant.
'I didn't lie,' he growled in his mind. 'I only recounted my conversation with your grandfather to Jinjing. It was the old man who assumed that I have selective amnesia and insisted on taking me to the hospital. I never expressly claimed that I have selective amnesia.'
'Che. You're such a cunning bastard. As expected of a mafia boss. Tsk. Poor Jinjing!'
'You're not allowed to call my woman by her first name. Call her Miss, you monkey!'
The remnant ignored him while going into another lecture mode. 'You seriously need to be gentler with your girlfriend, you know. Tone down your possessiveness a notch as well. Don't be too intense. Your girlfriend is a very delicate woman. I told you before that modern girls like her don't like possessive assholes. Sooner or later, she'll get tired of your shit.'
Nikolai curled his lip at his reflection. 'You're not qualified to lecture me on how to treat my own woman. If those words came from the old man, I might still listen. At least I can be assured that he knows what he's talking about. But you?' He snorted. 'You had never been in a serious relationship before. Don't lie and claim otherwise. I have your memories.'
'Hey! I was always serious in my relationsh.i.p.s with my past girlfriends! I just love adventuring more. Also, all my girlfriends understood right from the start that they're not my priority. So no hard feelings between us after the break-up. But as for you…' The remnant snickered. 'Let's see how you'll be once the 30 days with your pretty girlfriend are over. I bet you won't let your angelic Miss Prim and Proper go.'
'Shut up!'
This time, Nikolai growled out loud. He almost punched the reflection on the glass windows. The end of his 30-day agreement with Long Jinjing was something that he didn't want to think about. He would just deal with it when the time came. For now, he wanted to enjoy f.u.c.k.i.n.g his temporary girlfriend as often as he could before their time limit arrived. He didn't like being reminded about it, especially not by the annoying pest laughing at him inside his mind.
The remnant laughed at him for a few moments before stopping—thank f.u.c.k! However, it continued yammering away and annoying the f.u.c.k out of him.

'Anyway, I feel really sorry for your pretty girlfriend because she has to deal with all your shit and bad temper. Tsk tsk. If it weren't for me giving you some friendly advice, you would've made the situation worse earlier. She might've followed through her intention to break up with you if you had been too late in controlling your assholery. So where's the thanks that I deserve? Huh, Nikolai? Thank me! Come on~ Don't be shy~'
Nikolai did his best to ignore the little shit. The lethargy made his body feel heavier than normal but he couldn't sleep in peace with all the noise inside his head. He massaged his head while sighing in annoyance.
'Hey, Nikolai!'
'Stop disturbing me!'
The remnant paused. Then in a more serious voice, it said, 'Fine, I'll stop disturbing you tonight. I'm getting tired, anyway. That backlash was no joke. Ugh! But before I go recharge again, I just want to remind you about your promise to my third brother before you left Dragon Palace.'
Nikolai's body tensed.
'According to your memories while I was recharging, you and Third Brother made a deal. You agreed to let me meet your beautiful sister before she marries Third Brother. Don't forget!'
