I treated you like a godfather, and you actually dated my sister!

Regardless of Qu Hao's heart, which was broken and chilled to the bone.

Qu Man has already shown through her actions that her brother's emotions are completely unimportant!

She glared at Qin Ze, who was hiding behind Qu Hao, trying to use his brother-in-law as a human shield.

She brandished the stainless steel spatula in her hand with great flair.

"What are you all standing there for? Acting as door gods or preparing to freeze in place?"

A cool, imposing voice demanded, "Aren't you coming in yet? Are you waiting for me to have you carried in a sedan chair by eight men?"

"Okay, okay~ I'll go in, I'll go in!"

An amazing scene unfolded.

Just a second ago, Qu Hao was frantically spamming his mind with angry comments, practically ready to explode. But when he heard Qu Man's call, which wasn't exactly gentle and even sounded a bit impatient,

It was as if some mysterious bloodline suppression switch had been pressed on him.

The last vestiges of anger and grievance on his face vanished without a trace, like a thin layer of frost under the blazing sun. His movements became unusually swift and... cowardly!

Although Qu Hao's facial expression was extremely cowardly, his mind was frantically flooding the screen with comments!

"I'm so angry! What kind of 'sister' is this? I even paid the price to come here... no, I even sacrificed my dignity!"

However, when he subconsciously raised his head and met Qu Man's calm, unwavering eyes, which seemed to pierce through his soul and possessed a chilling effect reminiscent of minus twenty degrees Celsius...

"call out--!"

All the raging anger and the tiny flames of complaint inside were instantly extinguished by an absolute zero attack, without even a wisp of smoke!

Instead, there is a deep-seated, conditioned reflex... of obedience (cowardice).

He was like a student who had been daydreaming and was being watched by the homeroom teacher, dejected and silently swallowing all his anger and resentment!

Then... I started to sulk with myself, feeling that stifling, powerless, and utterly humiliating frustration.

That look of suppressed anger, bitter resentment, and silently humiliation, radiating an aura of cowardice and helplessness...

It's exactly like Qu Man at certain moments!

Although they appear cold and aloof on the surface, they may be inwardly venting their frustrations while feeling utterly helpless – a trait they seem to share!

"Come on, bro! Don't just stand there, go inside and enjoy your sister's lovingly prepared meal!"

With a grin, Qin Ze grabbed Qu Hao's shoulder from behind, and with a forceful push and a half-carry, dragged and pulled Qu Hao toward the restaurant!

"I...I haven't..."

Qu Hao struggled in vain, trying to express his last bit of stubbornness.

Stop with the "I, I, I"!

Qin Ze interrupted him, his tone relaxed yet carrying an undeniable force, leaning close to his ear and reminding him in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"We've already taken the money and you're already here, so you might as well accept your fate!"

After saying that, Qin Ze didn't give Qu Hao a chance to organize his thoughts again. He placed Qu Hao firmly in a restaurant chair like a cargo!

Then Qin Ze quickly adjusted his expression, turned around, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He looked at Qu Man, who had already turned and walked towards the kitchen, and spoke in a tone that could kill with sweetness.

"Sister~ You've worked so hard! Do you need me to help out?!"

"Come and bring the dishes over!"

"Okay~ Coming right away!"

Qin Ze responded, then kicked Qu Hao, who was being held down in a chair, in a very inhumane manner, saying, "Aren't you going to get the dishes? Didn't you hear what your older sister said?!"

Qu Hao glared angrily at Qin Ze.

Damn it~

He didn't dare to get angry at Qu Man, but surely he wouldn't dare to get angry at that bastard Qin Ze?

"Snap!"

Qin Ze continued his inhumane act, slapping Qu Hao on the back of the head: "What are you glaring at me for? Get up and go!"

"You fucking bastard, you'd better die!"

Qu Hao leaped up and pounced on him. He had had enough of this. Even if he had to put up with Qu Man's pressure, he was going to beat this bastard to death!

"Oh, I'm hiding! I'm hiding!"

Qin Ze darted into the kitchen in a flash.

"You bastard, you're hiding from me... Waaaaah..."

Qu Hao chased after him, cursing as he went, but before he could finish, Qin Ze grabbed a small piece of crispy pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Before Qu Hao could even spit it out, Qu Man's expectant voice reached his ears.

Upon hearing Qu Man's words, Qu Hao subconsciously chewed.

Just this once.

The angry, flushed expression on Qu Hao's face, like a sand painting swept away by a gust of wind, appeared at a visible speed...

Pain Mask!

This taste.....

How to describe it?

To be honest, having tasted many delicacies and seen the world, Young Master Qu's limited vocabulary suddenly crashed at the shock his taste buds were experiencing.

Aside from the most basic and direct word "disgusting" flashing through his mind, he really couldn't find any other description!

It's both salty and bitter?

It seems to have a slightly strange sour taste?

There's also a greasy feeling from the batter not being fully fried, and a strange taste from some unknown spice?

A variety of unpleasant tastes clashed wildly in his mouth, causing his brain to shut down completely, with only repeated alarms screaming, "Disgusting! Dangerous! Spit it out!"

He's incapable of any rational thinking anymore!

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?!"

Qu Man asked expectantly, while Qu Hao's face clearly showed his disapproval.

Her face was contorted with pain, almost like a Picasso painting, but she seemed completely oblivious!

"tasty?!"

Qu Hao, with a mournful face, replied in a very uncertain tone, against his conscience!

At this moment, Qu Man seemed to have instantly shut down her visual and auditory receivers.

Even though Qu Hao's expression was so painful that he could be performing a silent film, and his tone was so weak that he seemed to be about to die, she seemed to have not received any of these negative signals!

Her eyes even lit up when she heard Qu Hao say it was delicious!

Qin Ze, who had witnessed the entire poisoning, interrogation, and insincere praise from the side, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his whole body involuntarily shivered!

Without hesitation, he swiftly picked up the plate of the infamous crispy pork and, with an air of absolute authority, shoved it into the arms of Qu Hao, who was still frozen in place, his composure completely shattered.

"Eat as much as you like! Here, this whole plate is for you! We've come all this way, we have to eat our fill! Plenty!"

"I...I...I really..."

Qu Hao wanted to yell, "I fucking thank you your whole family!", but when he glanced at Qu Man next to him, he swallowed the rest of his words!

Then, contorting his expression into a smile that was even uglier than a grimace, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"...Thank you so much!"

"Thanks, we're all brothers here!"

"Better to die than me, brother! This honor belongs to you!"

Come on!

you can!

Holding the plate, Qu Hao watched Qin Ze slip back to Qu Man's side to fawn over her, then looked down at the plate of "Sister's Trial of Love" in his arms, and felt that his life was bleak.

This "one-hundred-thousand" bet... it's a damn hot potato!
