XunMi remembered that the female lead used to call him Jin ge and Yan ge.
Humph. She wouldn’t give others the opportunity. Even if she doesn’t call him Yan ge, no one else can. At least that woman definitely can’t.
As long as she doesn’t actively stir up trouble for her, XunMi was willing to forget her.
In the world of love, there was no right or wrong, the worst scenario was loving someone that didn’t love you back.
“Alright, this name will be exclusively yours. Yan ge will also be yours exclusively, okay?” Ou Jinyan patted down XunMi’s loose hairs while smiling warmly down at her.
XunMi tilted her head and shimmied out of her lover’s arms. She grabbed his hand and swayed it back and forth.
“Jin ge has always been mine. No one can steal you away.” She’ll bite anyone who tried. ╭(╯╰)╮
“En, no one will steal me away. Let’s go in first. Are you hungry? I’ll take a look at what’s inside your fridge and make you a midnight snack.” Ou Jinyan sat Xunmi down on the sofa. He took off his overcoat, rolled up his sleeves and headed for the kitchen.
XunMi hugged a bear shaped pillow and foolishly smiled while watching his actions.
How great. In each lifetime, her husband always cooked for her. In each life, her husband was a dragon amongst men but would always put down his pride for her.
Her love for him wasn’t any less than his love for her. Even though she didn’t reveal all of her love directly, her heart has always been beating for him alone.
Right after Ou JinYan finished making Mi’er’s favorite tangyuan soup with rice wine flavoring, the doorbell rang.
XunMi looked up, perplexed. She looked at the hour hand on the clock. It was already so late. Who would be here at this time?
Still hugging her bear pillow, she opened the door. After seeing who it was, XunMi beamed with joy.
“Second brother, what are you doing here?” XunMi really likes her borrowed family. The memories of her eldest and second brother and her parents received from the original soul were all extremely warm.
Ni FengHua pinched his little sister’s cheeks. “It’s all because of you. You didn’t pick up any of those calls. Do you know how worried Dad and Mom are? They wouldn’t relax until I said I would come.”
He closed the front door for her and familiarly made his way to the shoe closet.
But when he saw the pair of men’s leather shoes, Ni FengHua furrowed his eyebrows.
“Little sis, who’s here?” What weasel actually fared to come to his sister’s house in the middle of the night? What was he trying to do?
The ‘weasel’ Ou JinYan stepped out of the kitchen carrying a small bowl. “Mi’er, come eat. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
XunMi’s eyes brightened. It had been so long since she had tangyuan made by her dear husband.
In constraint to XunMi’s happiness, Ni FengHua’s face darkened. So it was this weasel. But what exactly was Ou JinYan trying to do? Since they were in the same social circle, he had also heard about those rumors.
Now Ou JinYan was looking at his younger sister affectionately and behaving so carefully. Ni FengHua was left confused. But no matter what, he wouldn’t allow his sister to be hurt.
“I was wondering what yellow weasel it could be. So it was you. Chairman Ou, why are you here instead of outwith your little mistress?” Even if those rumors were fake, Ni FengHua didn’t plan on letting him off, especially since he was trying to steal his sister away.
Humph. I’m going to torment you to death.╭(╯╰)╮
XunMi had just opened her mouth wide to receive the sweet glutinous dumpling Jin ge was feeding her when she heard her second brother’s words. She widened her eyes and hurriedly choked down the dumpling. She pulled on Ou JinYan’s sleeve with a mixture of nervousness and determination.
“Jin ge, you-you… You have a mistress?” Her face revealed her sorrow yet XunMi was busy praising herself in her heart. Look how great her acting was, even her husband was getting anxious.
Ou JinYan shoved the bowl into Ni FengHua’s hands and hugged XunMi to hurriedly explain. “Mi’er, Jin ge only loves you. There’s only you in my heart. Believe me, please? Jin ge has never lied to you.” He would never want to lie to her.
XunMi blinked her wide eyes as her lips finally split into a sweet smile. “Jin ge is the best. I love Jin ge the most too.”
Ou JinYan has fireworks exploding in his head. Mi’er just said she loved him the most. What a good surprise, what a good surprise!
He squeezed her close into his embrace. Now, he was satisfied with this life.
Ni FengHua’s face darkened even more. F**k, he played himself.
He pulled his sister to his side and glared at Ou JinYan. “Chairman Ou is such a distinguished busy man that you’ve become forgetful. So the rumors that have been spreading for half a year have all been fake? There is no wave without wind. Your company itself has been helping that woman to the full extent of it’s power. Do you dare say this wasn’t your order?” Ni FengHua ridiculed, anger brewing in his eyes.
XunMi popped out from behind him to watch Ou JinYan, her eyes crystal clear.
Ou JinYan’s heart instantly melted as he turned to smile dotingly at her.
“FengHua, there’s a reason for that. You’ll find out the reason later. But no matter in the past or now, my heart has always been XunMi’s. No one could be her subst.i.tute. She is entirely unique, she is the only one in my heart.”
She will be forever the only one. No matter where or when, even if he had forgotten about her, he would fall in love with her all over again as long as they meet again.
XunMi rushed back into Ou JinYan’s arms, placing her head onto his chest. The sound of his heart pounding resounded in her ears, calming her down immediately.
“Jin ge, I only has you in my heart too.”
Ni FengHua made a cringe face while watching these two spread their lovey dovey-ness.
His dear little sister had been stolen away by this yellow weasel? But it also seemed like his sister very willingly ran off with the weasel. Sigh.
No, he needed to go home and tell his older brother. His older brother will take care of this weasel.
“Humph. Ou JinYan, I don’t care if the rumors were real or not. Since you’ve decided to be together with my sister, then you must first get past Ni family. When you clean up all your dirty rumors, I’ll tell my parents about you. If you dare go back against your word, our whole family will fight you.”
Ou JinYan relaxed his shoulders and pulled XunMi to sit back on the sofa. He took back the bowl from Ni FengHua and tested the temperature. Since it wasn’t cold, he continued where he left off in feeding XunMi.
Seeing Mi’er slowly finish eating the tangyuan he made himself, a fire of pa.s.sion brewed inside his heart.
Ni FengHua almost stomped his feet in anger. Why did he want to beat someone up?
