Chapter 184: No More Ambiguous Promise

Zhang Yan didn't expect Xia Ye to agree to her request to stay so readily, and it even seemed that the house had been prepared for her in advance.

"Senior Brother, have you done some ideological work on Xia Ye in advance?" Zhang Yan took the opportunity to ask while Lin Yuan was helping to move things.

“It’s not like it worked.”

"Then... why did Xia Ye agree so readily?"

"We are intimidated by your power. My husband and I are trembling in fear under your tyranny."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhang Yan looked incredulous. "I think I'm fine. I've never done anything bad since I was a child."

"I didn't say you were bad. It's just that I can now understand a little bit of Lin Chong's mentality.

When I read Water Margin before, I always thought Lin Chong was a coward... "

"what about now."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then put down the things in his hand, clasped his fists respectfully towards Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your mercy and for not breaking up our marriage. You didn't even think of threatening me. Compared to Gao Yanei, you are really much better."

"Brother!" Zhang Yan said angrily, "I just want you to accompany me. Do you have to say this to me?"

"Little sister, I have a question for you. If I really insist on doing this, what will you do?"

Zhang Yan said anxiously, "I didn't force you to commit a crime. It's no big deal for me to live in your house. I didn't stop you from marrying Xia Ye. You just have a younger sister, and Xia Ye just has a younger sister-in-law. It's obviously not a big deal for you, why do you keep talking about me like this?

Especially the look you have now.

Gao Yanei did something so unscrupulous, what have I done? I even prepared a gift for Xia Ye."

Looking at Zhang Yan's harmless expression, Lin Yuan really couldn't imagine her cruel side.

Maybe we shouldn't overcomplicate things.

"What gift did you prepare for Xia Ye?"

"I wanted to give my future sister-in-law a surprise," Zhang Yan said as he took out a small gift box from his bag, "a jade bracelet given to me by an elder in my family. I don't usually wear it, but I think Xia Ye is so delicate, so it should be suitable for her."

"I appreciate your kindness. Senior brother is willing to believe that you are a kind girl. Although I am worried that you might show your fangs at any time, I am still willing to believe you now. This thing is too valuable, you should keep it."

Zhang Yan raised his chin and opened his mouth to get closer to Lin Yuan. "Look at me to see if I have fangs. Why would I show my fangs? Because I covet your beauty? You're not handsome."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "This is the first time I'm glad that I'm not handsome."

"Oh, Brother~~, don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I really have never done anything out of line since I was a child."

"Isn't what's happening right now outrageous enough?"

"Well, except for this one. Brother, you should look at it this way. Even if I only did this, I already feel guilty. So you must tell Xia Ye to accept this bracelet."

Lin Yuan picked up the bracelet and looked outside for a few times. Although he knew nothing about jade, the watery, translucent and emerald green texture made people feel very comfortable when looking at it.

"Is this a nice dog lap or is it my prostitution payment?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing, "It's fine if you say it's a dog pound, but what else... Hey, you just have something on your mind."

"If I were a man, would it be okay for me to live in your house?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "If that's the case, I really don't care unless I consider Xia Ye's embarrassment."

"That's all. Just treat me as a man. Didn't you say that we are good friends? I have always thought so. It's you who has something wrong in your mind and keeps imagining things."

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, "I remembered an anecdote: I am afraid that one day, you will ask me to have a child with you in order to maintain our friendship."

"Get out!" Zhang Yan said as he punched Lin Yuan on the shoulder.

Zhang Yan's fist has never been a small fist to pound her chest. Her fist is as hard as her background.

Lin Yuan took several steps back and almost knocked over a chair.

"Are you okay? Don't play this kind of joke on me next time. Sometimes I can't control my strength." Lin Yuan rubbed his shoulders, "Do you know what I'm afraid of? It's this situation now."

"what?"

"It's the fear that you can't control your strength. More precisely, it's the fear that your strength is not equal to mine. It's like an ant dancing with an elephant, afraid that it might be stepped on by you by accident."

Zhang Yan rolled his eyes at him, "You are really good at making connections. I am very emotionally stable. Just think of me as your own sister who came to live with you from the countryside."

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's the only way. Sister, it's a good thing you're a woman."

"What are you going to mock me for?"

"If you were a man and happened to find spiritual sustenance in Xia Ye, I dare not even think about what I would do."

"Hmm~~" Zhang Yan really thought about this question, "Then I will only treat Xia Ye as a younger sister, and will not forcibly seize a girl."

"Look, isn't this it?"

"What? Stop being a Riddler. I want to hit you again."

"Little sister, what you just denied was your motive, not your ability."

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she finally understood the state of mind that Lin Yuan described as "ants and elephants dancing together."

"Well, then, how about I take you to meet my grandparents some other day. In front of them, I'll tell them that you are my acknowledged brother. That way, even if I'm a jerk in the future, I won't commit incestuous acts."

Lin Yuan was shocked. This was something he had never expected.

His first reaction was: Zhang Yan is such a good person.

"Little sister," Lin Yuan said, stretching out his arms and hugging Zhang Yan, "It's enough for you to say this. Are you... lonely?"

Zhang Yan was suddenly hugged by Lin Yuan, and her heart was beating fast at first. After all, her feelings for Lin Yuan were complicated.

But when Zhang Yan heard Lin Yuan ask that question, his heart instantly calmed down.

Her original mixed feelings of love between a man and a woman were immediately replaced by the caring concern from her family.

"Why...why do you ask?"

"You are obviously a kind person, and you know you are forcing others. But you still did it. So I guess you are lonely."

Zhang Yan didn't say anything, but just reached out and hugged Lin Yuan's arm.

Lin Yuan was surprised that he could hold Zhang Yan in such a pure state of mind. It was only after he heard her say that she would take him to meet her grandparents that he suddenly realized: Maybe this little girl went through so much trouble just for a simple purpose. Maybe he had been thinking too complicated from the beginning to the end.

"Little sister, from now on, I will not flirt with you anymore."

"Ah?" Zhang Yan, who was originally immersed in the warmth, pushed Lin Yuan away when he heard this.

"Brother, you... you actually have that kind of thought towards me, you bastard. I... I have never had that before. I'm telling you, you have something wrong in your mind."

Zhang Yan looked very pleased with herself at the moment, as if she had pierced through Lin Yuan's mask. However, she was obviously not angry at all.

How can a girl not be angry when a boy says something like this? In fact, the answer is self-evident.

"Then we have a deal. You are not allowed to have random thoughts about me anymore. And you are not allowed to imagine me as a bad guy. Pinky promise."

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Also, don't call me Xiao Yanei anymore."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
