C37 (2/2)

”No, he didn't come back yesterday!” Qiao Xinran said as she yawned and walked downstairs.

He hadn't slept for the entire night, so he was hungry early.

Han Xin silently followed her down the stairs, quietly sitting in front of her. Even when they were eating buns, he was a little absent-minded.

Suddenly, he looked up at her and asked, ”Is my big brother …” Is there really someone outside? ”

”Puff …” The water that she had just drank sprayed out, causing Qiao Xinran to cough violently. This early in the morning, why wasn't he able to bring up a pot?

Taking the tissue that Han Xin handed to him, he wiped the water that spurted out and rolled his eyes at him, ”What is that little kid's head filled with all day? ”I just want to think about all sorts of random things.”

”I was just casually bringing it up. The atmosphere between you two is already very weird …”

Halfway through his words, Han Xin suddenly looked straight at her, a different emotion flashing past his eyes, ”Tell me the truth, is it not big brother that is good for you?”

Qiao Xinran was startled, then laughed, what's the difference between good and bad?

Ever since she entered this home, the best time for Han Mo to treat her was when he didn't scold her.

She had even forgotten what it felt like to be treated with gentleness.

Seeing her silence, Han Xin's heart trembled. Since Big Brother married her, why did he have to treat her like this? Although he had only been back for two days, he had seen her attitude very clearly.

That was definitely not what a man should do to a woman he loved.

”Ah Xin, you have also lived in this kind of complicated environment since you were young. Don't you know that there are some things that we cannot decide on? Especially marriage. To us, what kind of love is this? It's all a fantasy, and only benefits are eternal … ”

”In this marriage, I am just a pawn that was casually dropped. I don't even know why I have come this far.”

”Sister-in-law …” Han Xin called out softly.

Of course he knew that children like them were nobles born with a golden spoon that no one could envy. But who knows, that kind of helplessness, that can't even choose their own love and future?

Qiao Xinran laughed and continued, ”My brother was never like a normal child when he was born. He had no way to grow up healthy. So my stepmother used this to threaten me. Only if I marry your brother will she tell me where my brother is … I've always been curious about the kind of deal she made with your brother. Why did he choose me when so many people were pursuing him? ”And before I married him, I didn't even know him …”

”Ah Xin, do you know? Sometimes I have to admit, fate doesn't belong to you. ”There are countless unrelated people who will come out to make decisions for your fate and for your life, yet you can't reject them …”

She lowered her eyes and stared at her fingers in a daze.

There was a smile on his face, but it was a bitter smile as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life.

A strong desire rose up in Han Xin's heart, a desire to protect and take care of her.

Since Big Bro didn't love her, and even more so, she didn't love Big Bro, then would he be able to like her?

But as soon as this thought popped into his mind, he slapped himself fiercely in the heart.

That was his big brother! He's the big brother that protected and took care of him since he was young! How could he do such a thing?

However, they clearly didn't have any love, and they were even tormenting each other, weren't they …

Why did the heavens have to let two people who didn't love each other to be together? Why was it that the person he liked for the first time was his sister-in-law …
