“Sorry, I think I’m late…”

Outside the church, Zhong Li, who was dressed in black, had one hand in his pocket as he raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.

Song Yaoyao was confused. “Why is he here?” As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something and looked down at Zhongli Xue who was lying on the ground.

Half of her palm was pierced by a bullet, and the bloody mess on the ground was a ghastly sight.

Song Yaoyao was surprised to find that when she saw the blood again, she was able to suppress the violent and negative emotions in her heart.

This was a good sign.

“Are you here to pick her up?”

On the ground, Zhongli Xue slowly woke up. She lay on the ground and looked at Zhong Li with tears in her eyes. “Brother…”

Her voice was soft and gentle, and it sounded like she was crying, making people feel pity for her.

“Tsk, who are you calling brother?”

Zhong Li clicked his tongue and walked straight to Song Yaoyao’s side. Looking at the two equally tall and handsome men who were protecting her with extraordinary auras like gods, he whistled frivolously, “Looks like I have one more love rival… Ugh!” Before he could finish his sentence… Song Yaoyao stomped on the back of his foot fiercely, her round eyes filled with anger.

“F*ck! You got me again!”

“Are you crazy? That’s my brother!”

It was her real brother!

Although she did not know how Song Lanchuan came to this world and how he managed to keep his appearance, Song Yaoyao knew she didn’t make a mistake. This was her brother who loved and protected her.

“B-Brother?” Zhong Li, who was used to having all the information in his hands, was dumbfounded.

Song Lanchuan touched his chin and laughed hoarsely, “Yaoyao, who is this?”

“A stranger.” Huo Yunque opened his mouth calmly.

The two men who were about to fight just now looked at each other and confirmed one thing: No other man should appear beside Song Yaoyao.

“Hey! You guys!” Zhong Li pursed his lips, his temples throbbing.

Huo Yunque carried Song Yaoyao away, and the arrogant little girl obediently nestled in his arms.

“Ouch…” he covered his cheeks, his teeth aching.

“B-Brother…” Zhongli Xue was trembling, the pain from her hands made her whole body convulse uncontrollably. Her clothes were soaked in cold sweat as she stretched out her hand with difficulty to grab the man’s pant leg.

The man standing in front of her looked down at her with disdain.

Without waiting for Zhongli Xue to grab his pant leg, Zhong Li had already kicked her away with a cold sneer.

“Ah!”

Zhongli Xue rolled to the side and looked at Zhong Li in disbelief.

Although her brother was temperamental, he had never been so rude to her. “Brother?”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her pale little face was filled with sadness.

“Take care of yourself. From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Zhongli family.”

Zhong Li coldly said these words and walked towards the exit of the church.

“No!” Zhongli Xue got up from the ground and hobbled towards Zhong Li. “Why?”

“As Delia’s lackey, it’s time for you to return to her side.”

“You already know everything? When did you discover it…”

Zhong Li said impatiently, “I knew from the beginning.”

These words were like a heavy hammer, directly hitting Zhongli Xue in a daze.

“I-Impossible, how could it be…” she mumbled nervously, suddenly laughing as she spoke.

This meant Zhong Li knew everything. He knew that she was a spy who had been trained since young, and her motive for appearing by his side was impure. However, he still pretended to know nothing and brought her along with him. He watched her carefully from the beginning until she completely fell in love with him.

It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a joke!

Alice was a step too late. She took Delia, who was hanging on to her last breath, and the mumbling Zhongli Xue.

When they returned to the manor, Song Yaoyao immediately jumped to the ground. She had too many questions in her heart, so she firmly pinched Huo Yunque’s soft waist.

No matter how slow she was, when she saw that Zhong Li had followed her back, she finally reacted.

“You’re not enemies?”

Huo Yunque coughed softly.

Zhong Li curled his lips and shot Song Yaoyao a look. “Of course we’re enemies. Does a love rival count?”

At this point, what did Song Yaoyao not understand? These two men, who were both enemies and friends, were acting together and deceiving everyone.

She rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth. “Get lost!”

Song Lanchuan sat lazily on the sofa and beckoned Song Yaoyao with his finger. “Yaoyao, come.”

“Gege!” Song Yaoyao turned around and threw herself into his arms.

Huo Yunque: “…”

Zhong Li: “…”

Why did he feel like he was abandoned?

Zhong Li looked at Huo Yunque mockingly and winked at him. He said quietly, “No matter how impressive you are, her real brother is here. You can only stand aside!”

Huo Yunque pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “Huo Qi, see him out!”

“Wait!” Song Yaoyao remembered something and asked, “So, is Huo Ningxi is also part of your plan?”

“Him?” Zhong Li looked at the indifferent Huo Yunque and shook his head. “No one forced him. He found out that something was wrong and wanted to join in.”

It just so happened that the outside world was saying that Huo Yunque despised Huo Ningxi, so he decided to play along and take the initiative.

Originally, all of this had nothing to do with him.

Song Yaoyao fell silent. Her lowered eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes, so no one knew what she was thinking.

It seemed, after going around and around, Huo Ningxi still chose to stand on her side.

Song Lanchuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhong Li, who was still chattering non-stop. His sharp eyes were like knives, hiding a warning. He raised his hand and patted Song Yaoyao’s head to appease her.

Bang—

Suddenly, a person was thrown in.

He was tied up and there were a lot of blood stains on his body. These must have been sustained during his escape. He was tied up like a chrysalis, but he still raised his head and neck. It was a funny scene.

Because of his actions, Song Yaoyao saw his face clearly.

“It’s you!” The man she met at Alice’s ‘funeral’. “Armand?”

“Huh? You know me?”

Armand opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He smiled nonchalantly and stared at Huo Yunque with his burning gaze. “Huo, my friend, I haven’t seen you for a long time but you’re still as ruthless as ever.”

“I can’t compare to you.”

Huo Yunque retracted his gaze from Song Yaoyao. When his eyes landed on the disheveled Armand, he suddenly felt a little dispirited. He threw the gun in front of Armand and said, “Take him away.”

His fate had been decided.

In the face of death, no one was free from fear, and Armand was the same. The person who dared to provoke others a moment ago was no longer as sharp and arrogant. “No! No… Huo, we are friends! Let me off this time!”

“Ha…”

Huo Yunque did not know that he was amused by his words. He shook his head and slightly raised his phoenix-shaped eyes. “We are not friends, we have never been.”

“Damn it! Let go of me!”

Knowing that Huo Yunque would not let him go, Armand cursed loudly, but he could not escape the fate of being dragged down with his mouth shut.

With a gunshot, the world returned to silence.

During this time, Song Yaoyao remained motionless in Song Lanchuan’s arms, as if she was asleep. Except for the moment when she heard the gunshot, her eyelashes moved uneasily.

Song Lanchuan frowned unhappily. “You scared me.”

“No, no, I’m fine!”

Song Yaoyao quickly waved her hand. She glanced at Huo Yunque and was immediately stunned. Her face heated up. The man seemed to know that she would do this. A smile blossomed in his eyes. He was handsome and charming.

Song Yaoyao’s face was forcefully turned away and she met Song Lanchuan’s half-smiling eyes.

“Yaoyao, what are you looking at?”

It was over. The love addict was caught. Song Yaoyao was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

“Nothing! I’m not looking at anything!” She covered her face and quickly shook her head.

Song Lanchuan pretended not to know and gently stroked her long hair. “That better be the case.”

Song Yaoyao swallowed her saliva and peeked at her brother’s dangerous expression through the gaps between her fingers.

It was over for her…

The scene froze for a moment. No one spoke for a long time as the two men secretly competed.

In the end, Huo Qi walked in and broke the deadlock.

Song Yaoyao heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Huo Qi from the bottom of her heart. When there was an opportunity in the future, she would definitely give him a raise in salary!

“By the way, Miss Song, how should we deal with that woman?”

Instead of asking Huo Yunque, he asked her.

Song Yaoyao came to her senses and understood what Huo Qi meant. She turned her head, her face still flushed. “Song Jingwan?”

“Yes, but even if we don’t deal with her, she won’t have a good life,” Huo Qi said.

“Huh? Why?” She hadn’t done anything yet.

Huo Qi said, “She has AIDS.”

As the news hit, Song Yaoyao was stunned for a rare moment. After a long while, she opened her mouth with difficulty. “AI…”

Song Lanyuan pinched her neck from behind and made a decision for Song Yaoyao. “Throw her out and tell those people where she is. We don’t need to do anything. Someone will naturally take care of her.”

If she did not want to die, then she could only live her life as a nameless person with no identity, like a sewer rat.

No matter what, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Huo Qi paused, his gaze drifting around. He looked at his Master, then at Song Lanchuan, hesitating about who to listen to.

He seemed to have heard that this was Miss Song’s biological brother, which meant he was the Master’s brother-in-law!

This…

It was difficult!

“Yaoyao, what do you think?”

“Ah… I, I’m fine with anything!”

Song Yaoyao really didn’t expect that before she could deal with Song Jingwan, she had already played herself to death.

“Can I ask one last question, how did she get this disease?”

Huo Qi grinned, “Armand, she’s Armand’s lover. Not only her, but Delia is also infected. Otherwise, why do you think Delia wanted to kill her? It’s because she seduced Armand!”

Song Yaoyao was speechless. “… alright.”

She could only say that it was expected of someone who had the aura of a protagonist. She was bound to attract some kind of romance.

At this point, Song Jingwan’s ending was set.

After everything was settled, Song Yaoyao suddenly felt empty in her heart. She looked at the people in the hall, and her gaze fell back on Song Lanchuan’s face.

She had too many questions in her heart, but she did not know where to start.

Song Lanchuan could tell what she was thinking. He chuckled and pinched her chubby little face. “Go upstairs and take a warm bath to sleep. When you wake up, I’ll tell you everything you want to know, okay?”

Song Yaoyao did not want to let go of his shirt. She was afraid that when she woke up, the family that she had gone through so much trouble to see would disappear again.

“Be good,” Song Lanchuan emphasized, her eyes still gentle.

Song Yaoyao wanted to shake her head, but in the next moment, she fell into a familiar embrace that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

“I’ll send her back to her room first.”

Huo Yunque nodded slightly and carried Song Yaoyao upstairs.

“Gege, I don’t—”

“Shh.”

Huo Yunque leaned over and kissed her forehead. “I promise you, when you wake up, everything will still be here, okay?”

The man’s low voice was gentle and magnetic, with a seductive charm.

Song Yaoyao had not slept for a whole night and had taken a plane to get here. After everything she experienced in such a short period of time, she was already exhausted.

As if hypnotized, Song Yaoyao’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier, but she still stubbornly held onto Huo Yunque’s clothes. “You promise!”

Huo Yunque smiled. “I promise.”

Song Yaoyao’s body sank into the soft bed, and she almost fell asleep as soon as she touched it.

Huo Yunque remembered that she had been in Song Lanchuan’s arms since she came back, and he could not help but feel jealous. He pinched the bridge of her nose with his fingers. “Little traitor.”

…

Downstairs, Zhong Li coughed softly and tugged at his tie. “Errr, you…”

Whoosh—

A glance swept over. Song Lanchuan crossed his legs and looked at him calmly with a smile. “Mr. Zhong Li, do you know how it feels to have your cabbage eaten by a pig?”

Zhong Li: “… I don’t know.”

“It’s how I feel right now.”

Song Lanchuan heard someone coming down the stairs and slowly stood up. He unbuttoned his shirt and looked sideways. “That’s why I’m in a bad mood right now.”

Zhong Li watched the two men without saying a word. As soon as they saw each other, they began to fight.

Without any technique, each punch was solid. The muffled sound of the punches made Zhong Li feel pain all over his body.

The hall was soon in a mess. Zhong Li looked at it and was gradually surprised.

He did not expect that Song Yaoyao’s brother, who appeared out of nowhere, was so good at fighting. He was actually able to fight Huo Yunque to a standstill.

After an unknown period of time, the two of them gasped for breath and retreated.

At this time, both of them were covered in injuries.

Zhong Li clicked his tongue, thinking that Huo Yunque really did not know how to be nice. When his little wife woke up, wouldn’t her heart ache to see her brother being beaten up like this?

If it were him, he would just stand and let Song Lanchuan beat him up.

Just as he was thinking, Song Lanchuan stood up first and stretched out his hand towards Huo Yunque. “You okay?”

Huo Yunque curled his lips. “Of course.”

Borrowing the force from the ground, the two of them stood up and looked at each other with a smile.

“I didn’t let you down, right? Brother?”

Cough… cough cough cough! Zhong Li was instantly choked by his saliva.

Brother? What the hell!

The way Huo Yunque addressed him was so strange!

He gloated at the silent Song Lanchuan and waited for him to punch Huo Yunque again.

Then, he waited and waited until Song Lanchuan put his arm around Huo Yunque’s shoulder and the two brothers exchanged a fist bump.

“Thank you.”

It was a form of acknowledgment.

Zhong Li: “…”

Hehe.

I shouldn’t be here, I should be under the car.
