Not a god

Chapter 222 Brother and Wanwan

About ten minutes later, the sleeping lion awoke in the scorching hell.

The door to the room was pushed open, revealing a girl in disheveled pajamas and loose hair, holding a diamond greatsword, challenging the Dark Dragon Lord in the living room.

"Huh!?" After finishing her milk, Chen Yi looked towards the door and was startled by the aura emanating from her mother. Without hesitation, she abandoned her father and ran away into the room.

Chen Xi sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea brewed by her assistant with premium tea leaves, stared straight at her phone, and let the soft cushions rub against her body.

"watch out!"

"what!"

"It's too late to surrender now!"

"Tell me quickly, where did you hide the Remote Control Princess?"

As a mature senior manager overseeing a large, increasingly influential organization, who spends his days meeting and dining with billionaires and high-ranking leaders, Chen Xi cannot afford to bicker with his wife, who has the mentality of a primary school student, first thing in the morning.

It will damage his image as a domineering CEO.

On the contrary, Jiang Wanwan, who had been jumping around and making a fuss, stopped fighting after a short while because of her poor stamina.

The person was still sitting on Chen Xi's shoulder, with two white legs hanging down in front of him under her nightgown, and a pair of small feet dangling in front of his chest.

Chen Xi held one of them. Jiang Wanwan's feet were fair and slender, clearly indicating that she was a delicate girl who couldn't do any rough work and could only be held in the palm of his hand and protected.

Chen Xi casually bent her arch and pinched her toes as if they were some fun toy. She nimbly dodged and lightly kicked his hand to prevent him from touching her, but it was quickly grabbed again.

She tried to shake her jade-like feet a couple of times, but he still held them in his hands, so she gave up and stretched her head to see what her brother was looking at, wondering if he was reading relationship articles on Zhihu again, or some kind of relationship disputes and gossip.

She only remembered that her brother was taking her out to play today when she realized he was browsing Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).

It was always like this. No matter where they went, she didn't have to think about anything. She could just follow her brother. The little boy, who wasn't much older than her, showed a sense of reliability that made her feel that all her thinking was unnecessary.

When she was little, Jiang Wanwan wondered if she would grow up to be like her brother, someone who could give people a sense of reliability, or even more reliable than her brother. But over the years, she hasn't changed at all, and neither has her brother.

My older brother was born a few months earlier than me, so he's a bit older and can take care of me. But if I, at twenty-two, need my twenty-two-year-old brother to take care of me, could I take care of my twenty-one-year-old brother? Obviously not. My twenty-one-year-old brother is more reliable and mature than I am now. What about at twenty? Probably not either. My twenty-year-old brother is still more reliable than I am now.

Upon closer reflection, Jiang Wanwan realized that her 18-year-old brother, who was still in high school, was more reliable than she was now. She then recalled her brother from junior high school and was dismayed to find that her brother's thinking was more like that of an adult back then.

If she could travel through time, if she could go back to her childhood, even if she were to face a brother who was much shorter than her and seven or eight years older, she probably wouldn't look like an adult at all. Perhaps she would be taller and older than her brother, but she would still just be a clumsy little sister who needed her brother to take care of her.

Brother will always be brother, and Wanwan will always be Wanwan. Over the years, brother hasn't changed at all, and neither has Wanwan.

The person beneath him urged, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. There are a lot of tourists coming to Jiangcheng recently. If you leave late, you'll get stuck in traffic on the highway."

"Is it that far? Do we have to take the highway?"

"It's faster to take the highway, there's only a short stretch."

"Xiao Wan is in the bathroom, I have to wait for her to come out."

Chen Xi said helplessly, "Then go change your clothes first."

"I do not!"

What were you all making a ruckus in the middle of the night last night?

"Don't tell you!"

"What did you put on my head?"

"It's your wife's broad-mindedness."

"..." She jumped off Chen Xi, her bare feet touching the floor, then leaned over to him, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and gave him a silly smile.

Seeing her strange behavior, Chen Xi was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly ambush me?"

"I just suddenly wanted to kiss you."

Chen Xi laughed and asked in her slightly silly tone, "Wouldn't you suddenly want to kiss me more?"

She looked troubled. "Let me think... what if..."

"Have you thought of it?"

"You should look extremely grateful, put your hands together in prayer, and then ask the great Emperor of Fengdu to kiss you, and then I..."

Chen Xi interrupted, "I didn't say I wanted you to kiss me."

"No! You have to let me kiss you!" She was very domineering, and then pretended to tease her.

Just then, the little girl who had run away came running out of the room again, still holding her best friend Shark in her arms, and rushed towards Jiang Wanwan with her eyes closed:
"Yiyi, come here!"

"Yiyi, protect Daddy!"

Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow, picked up her diamond sword pillow, and looked at the little boy who was launching an attack on her: "You didn't choose to run away, but instead took the initiative to approach me..."

He then picked up the diamond greatsword and began to wrestle with Private Chen Yi.

Although Jiang Wanwan's fighting strength is even weaker than a rural goose, she can still easily handle a toddler under two years old. Little Chen Yi is quite courageous; she charges at him and gets easily defeated.

"Dad, help me!"

"Help, help!"

"Save Yiyi!"

The mother and daughter were fighting. If Chen Xi didn't help in this situation, Yi Yi wouldn't come to her rescue next time.

So he could only pretend to help Yiyi, but in the end he was also defeated by the powerful mother. He could only watch helplessly as the cute little Chen Yi was brutally abused by her mother.

Not long after, Jiang Xiaowan came out after washing up and changing her clothes.

She went out today wearing a white spaghetti strap dress and strappy sandals. The glimpse of her calves between the hem of the dress and the sandals gave off a very summery vibe.

Jiang Wanwan was sent back to change clothes by Chen Xi. She ended up wearing denim bodycon shorts and a shirt with a print of Uchiha Sasuke on top. The shirt was tucked into the shorts, giving her a summery look.

While they were changing clothes, Emperor Yan had already finished breakfast, taken a walk downstairs, and returned with his breakfast.

She also said that when she went out to buy steamed buns on a shared bike, someone was walking their dog without a leash. The dog tried to chase her, but she glared at it and scared the dog into fainting. The dog owner then asked her for money.

"You gave it?"

"How could I possibly give it to you? I'm not stupid."

"So how did you get there?"

"Didn't I say I took a shared bike?"

"...I mean, how did you run away when someone asked you for money?"

"Didn't I tell you I was riding a shared bike? How could he possibly catch up with me!"

She sipped her soy milk, and spoke with a hint of pride, as if she had escaped thanks to shared bikes.
