309 There’s No Need To Be So Excited (1/2)

But…

After they left the clubhouse, Xuxu asked, ”Yan Rusheng, why didn't you ask him to call you Brother instead of Brother-in-Law?”

”Are you seriously dumb or just pretending to be?” Yan Rusheng frowned as he gazed at the tiny woman beside him. ”If he addressed you as Sister, shouldn't I be Brother-in-Law?”

Momentarily stunned by his answer, Xuxu lowered her head. She replied softly with an ”Oh.”

So this was why her heart was starting to soften against her will.

She didn't want to guess the motive behind his strange behavior these past few days; why was he repeatedly trying to tear down her defenses against him?

Her heart had undergone all kinds of heartbreak and suffering. She felt that she was almost indestructible now. And even though she'd been badly hurt by him before, didn't she manage to recover?

So what do I have to fear? Why should I guard against him?

She managed to enlighten herself once more that night, and her spirits were lifted.

”I'm hungry.”

She rubbed her belly, peering at Yan Rusheng with her sparkling eyes.

Yan Rusheng thought that the stars in the sky couldn't compare to her brilliantly twinkling eyes. And his mood lifted when he heard her talking so sweetly to him.

He reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her towards him.

Then he lowered his head to give her a light kiss on her forehead. He chided her affectionately, ”Serves you right for skipping dinner to chat with a boy.”

Xuxu was astonished by his sudden actions. Incredibly, he was behaving so intimately with her in a public place.

In the past, he used to say that those who publicly display their affections by hugging or kissing their lovers were childish pieces of scum who were a disgrace to society. Their actions also brought shame to themselves.
