The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Ruan Yangxing's eyes trembled, and she quickly reached out to pick it up.

But another large, slender hand with long, thin fingers had already picked up the pink shard before she could.

Jiang Yanci asked, feigning ignorance, "What is this?"

Ruan Yang quickly explained, "...These gloves were a free gift with the purchase of the small cakes."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yanci twirled the small square, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Spiral particles, hyaluronic acid, won't fall off easily, strawberry-scented gloves, hmm?"

A deep, magnetic male voice echoed in the car.

With each word he uttered, Ruan Yang's heart sank a little deeper.

...Can so many words be written on such a small package?

Her cheeks were burning hot, and the tips of her ears beneath her long hair were bright red; she was extremely embarrassed.

Jiang Yanci leaned closer, a woody scent wafting over him. "I didn't expect Yangyang to like spiral particles?"

Ruan Yang: "..."

When Meng Ling gave it to her, she only said it was strawberry flavored, without mentioning hyaluronic acid or any granules.

Ruan Yang's face visibly turned red.

She quickly explained, "...No, it was a gift from a colleague."

"It's exactly XL?"

"..."

Ruan Yang had no idea that this thing, like clothes, came in sizes, and her ears turned as red as if they were burning.

Jiang Yanci smiled, pulling the person into his arms, his voice low and husky, "So it turns out our Yangyang has been coveting brother for a long time."

Why does he have to call himself "brother" at this particular time?

Ruan Yang was embarrassed, her heart pounding. "No..."

Jiang Yanci tightened his arms, a hint of danger flashing in his dark eyes. "Bad boy."

He held the pink shard to his lip, tore open the packaging, and chuckled softly.

"So, who is Yangyang planning to use it with?"

"And that Italian white-haired guy?"

Ruan Yang was about to cry.

Why did you suddenly start thinking about Ke Yun again?

Every time Ke Yun is mentioned, Ruan Yang feels miserable...

Ignoring her scattered bags, she opened the door and tried to escape.

Before the car door could even open, a pair of strong, powerful arms grabbed her from behind.

"Baby, no matter who you plan to use it with, from now on you can only use it with your husband, do you understand?"

Ruan Yang was caught while trying to escape and fell onto Jiang Yanci's lap, looking up at the bright pink diamond dangling from his thin lips.

The last rays of the setting sun shone intensely on his deep-set eyes, making him breathtakingly beautiful. They dyed his dark pupils the color of fiery clouds, mixed with a kind of eerie beauty that seemed to extinguish daylight and allow ghosts to roam at night.

Ruan Yang was terrified.

The lambskin high heels on her feet struggled and somehow came off.

She struggled and begged for mercy, her bare feet stomping on the black leather Cullinan seat.

"Not now..."

Jiang Yanci, who had always doted on her, turned into a tyrannical and autocratic ruler.

Those thin, scarlet lips kissed the tips of her ears, which were as red as if they were dripping blood.

"Baby, we can't waste our colleague's good intentions."

……

The sun has set.

Under the starry sky roof, the universe explodes and the Milky Way flows, resembling the aurora borealis in Siberia, weaving together to create an endless and vast beautiful scene.

When Ruan Yang was carried back to the top floor of Half Moon Bay, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

Jiang Yanci ordered takeout and fed her.

Ruan Yang turned her face away. "No."

Jiang Yanci coaxed softly, "Sweetie, replenish your energy so you'll have more strength later."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yang almost couldn't breathe. "A little while?"

Jiang Yanci remained noncommittal.

Seeing his matter-of-fact attitude, Ruan Yang lost her appetite even more.

She buried her face in her hands and mumbled, "...I can't eat anymore, I want to sleep."

Little liar.

He clearly still has room to eat.

Jiang Yanci took out the lighter. "Yangyang, let's eat."

Ruan Yang: "!!!"

Oh, I forgot, there's this trick too!

Ruan Yang wanted to confess that she had been faking it all along.

But what if her brother finds out she lied to him...

She'll only get worse tonight.

Ugh!

Indeed, once a person tells one lie, they need countless more to cover it up.

Whether or not to tell the truth, Ruan Yang was conflicted. On the surface, she obediently opened her mouth and let Jiang Yanci feed her.

Jiang Yanci's lips curved into a smile.

Watching the little girl in front of me pretending to be hypnotized, clearly unwilling but still having to act obedient—

He discovered a new kind of fun in hypnosis.

Later, Ruan Yang was full.

Jiang Yanci was also full.

When the moon was high in the sky, he put the little girl back on the bed, then went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.

One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.

But he always maintained his composure.

His daughter is too delicate, like a precious and difficult-to-care-for flower. He can't overwater her; he has to keep her in a balance.

Unless he loses control, he won't easily break this balance.

He won't lose control as long as she doesn't leave him.

When dreams come true, there's always a sense of loss and anxiety, even for someone as aloof and composed as Jiang Yanci.

Even the mere thought that Ruan Yang didn't love him and would leave him made his body tense.

If that day ever comes.

He'll go crazy.

He didn't know what he would do.

Good upbringing and a moral compass formed over nearly thirty years can collapse in an instant.

Yangyang is beautiful and kind; everyone would like her.

She's so young, and I'll be five years older than her after my birthday.

Will she find him too old and become interested in younger men after a while?

The water from the showerhead fell and flowed over Jiang Yanci's taut muscles.

He frowned, thinking of Ke Yun.

He still remembered the smile on Ruan Yang's face when she described him.

Amber eyes.

Tiger teeth.

A cheerful and enthusiastic personality.

Most importantly, Ke Yun is young, the same age as Ruan Yang and Jiang Zhuo, and is clearly another Italian version of Jiang Zhuo.

Is that Yangyang's aesthetic preference?

There's a saying that people are always attracted to the same type.

Jiang Yanci, however, does not fall into this category.

Once the initial excitement wears off, will Yangyang still love him?

Even the strongest person can become insecure in the face of love.

This Italian man was like a thorn, always stuck in Jiang Yanci's heart.

That was the person Yangyang wanted to marry after knowing him for only one day.

He was also the Italian conman who tricked Yangyang into going to the auction with him after their marriage.

He said he didn't like women and talked about the backstabbing and intrigue of his family of origin.

He might also create a sense of fragility, using art to package himself and gain the sympathy and pity of young girls.

You can never trust what a man says.

Especially Italian men.

Even if Yangyang really fell in love with someone else.

Jiang Yanci will absolutely not let go.

The love given to him can never be taken away.

Even if she resents him and blames him.

He would keep her by his side, and would no longer be so tender as to care too much for this delicate flower, lest it be harmed.

He will only exhaust her, leaving her no time to think about other men, only able to look at him and love him.

The water gushed against the wall and meandered down.

The cold water rinsed over his bulging muscles, relieving the heat.

Jiang Yanci returned to the bed, stretched out his long arms, and embraced his sleeping wife. Looking at her pitiful, wet eyes, he kissed her, his voice full of tenderness.

"Yangyang, don't leave me."
