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

Ruan Yang's heart skipped a beat, and her lips suddenly tightened.

She had never heard of anyone swearing an oath on their own behalf.

In particular, she thought of the various disasters that Jiang Yanci experienced in the original work.

How could she possibly utter such a curse?

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jiang Yanci's voice lingered. "Does Yangyang want to leave me?"

"No..."

"Why didn't the baby say anything?" Jiang Yanci's eyes were red, and the usually calm and composed person showed a rare hint of obsession.

Ruan Yang felt inexplicably scared.

But she shook her head, gently hugged him, and said directly, "Because I love you and don't want you to get hurt, so I can't say it."

She sounded a little aggrieved, her voice muffled, "Jiang Yanci, you can't force me."

Jiang Yanci's gloom dissipated.

His Yangyang has always been sweet-talking. Before, she only regarded him as her brother and would always say a lot of sweet words to win his heart.

Later, when they got together, she became shy and refused to talk about it.

Jiang Yanci once overheard a CEO chatting at a dinner party. He said that his new girlfriend, a young actress, was too pretentious and kept pestering him every day, saying she loved him.

He didn't take it to heart at the time.

Little did he expect that four years later, he himself would be the one being "dramatic" in his relationship.

He lowered his eyes; the blush on Yangyang's face hadn't faded yet, her eyes were filled with grievance, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked incredibly charming.

He stared at his wife's soft lips. "Your lips are so sweet, what did you eat?"

Ruan Yang also looked towards the river and bid farewell.

The older brother's eyes were slightly red, and strands of hair fell across his forehead, casting shadows in his beautiful eyes, inexplicably reminding one of a pretty, abandoned cat.

He makes you want to coax him.

Remembering what Doubao had taught her, she blushed and whispered, "You'll know once you try it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she was pulled into an even more passionate embrace, and a fervent kiss pressed down upon her, as if long-suppressed unease was being released at this moment.

Ruan Yang was forced to tilt her head back, her lips slightly parted, exuding a sweet and alluring fragrance. Jiang Yanci, like a wolf that had caught the scent of its prey, breathed heavily and kissed her deeper and deeper.

"Waaah..."

Ruan Yang's eyes went blank and unfocused from the kiss.

Her slender fingers unconsciously gripped the lapel of his shirt as she softly called out, "Brother."

"...We can't kiss anymore, we've been out for a long time."

If I don't go back soon, people will get suspicious.

Jiang Yanci knew this too. His palm was on Ruan Yang's waist, as if caressing soft jade. "Let me hold you a little longer."

Ruan Yang sensed something, blushed, buried her face in his chest, her heart pounding.

She is probably ill.

She didn't resist such a passionate kiss.

On the contrary, I really like it.

She loved it when her usually calm brother lost control for her, and loved it when he kissed her passionately.

It was as if it filled her heart, which was starved for love.

Good girls shouldn't like him.

She is guilty.

Ruan Yang's cheeks burned as she pressed them against Jiang Yanci's equally hot and throbbing chest, whispering, "What would you do if I really left?"

From an angle she couldn't see, Jiang Yanci's eyes were churning with undercurrents.

The answer came to him immediately.

—I will find you.

—Then, I'll stop pitying you and *kill you*.

—So that you won't have the strength to leave.

The thought had barely crossed my mind.

He was also startled by his own despicable nature.

This dark side of him felt unfamiliar even to himself.

He said, "No, I won't give you the chance to leave me."

His tense muscles gradually calmed down, and he took her hand. "Let's go back and have dinner."

Ruan Yang glanced at the mirror unintentionally.

At first glance, she saw her own bright red lips.

"No..." She quickly grabbed Jiang Yanci and pointed to her mouth.

Jiang Yanci's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Want another kiss?"

"No, they're all swollen."

It's obvious at a glance that he did something bad.

Her lips were pursed, as if she wanted a kiss.

Jiang Yanci's eyes were dark and gloomy.

His wife is seducing him again.

He leaned down. "Didn't the baby just ask me to taste if it was sweet?"

Ruan Yang was on the verge of tears and shook him off.

She finally understood what the saying "Don't feel sorry for men" meant.

"Okay, brother won't say anymore," Jiang Yanci coaxed her. "Go to the kitchen and get some popsicles to chill, okay?"

Ruan Yang nodded; this was the only way.

At the dining table, Jiang Zhuo gripped his chopsticks tightly.

Ruan Yang and Jiang Yanci have both disappeared for more than ten minutes. What exactly are they doing?

He couldn't help but look at Yao Jinzhi, "Mom, aren't you going to do anything about them?"

Yao Jinzhi didn't care. "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are newlyweds, their relationship is going very well, why should I care?"

Jiang Zhuo's expression froze, and he slammed down his chopsticks.

"Mom, you know perfectly well that my older brother used dishonest means to trick Yangyang into marriage. Since you love Ruan Yang, why are you helping him? What you're doing is no different from human traffickers!"

Yao Jinzhi was not in a hurry.

She had her concerns before, but today, she saw how dependent Ruan Yang looked at Jiang Yanci, her love practically overflowing.

Yangyang likes it.

Hypnosis is not a panacea. If Yangyang really didn't love Jiang Yanci, she would never have looked at him with such tenderness.

She looked at her second son, "Xiao Zhuo, Yang Yang loves Yan Ci, don't deceive yourself."

"No!" Jiang Zhuo jumped up. "Yangyang has liked me for seven years, how could she fall in love with my older brother in just one month? Mom, you've been deceived by my older brother too, but I'm very clear-headed. I will definitely help Yangyang regain her memories!"

He remembered that Ruan Yang used to like making journals.

There must be something about him in there!

Thinking of this, he took a step to go upstairs.

Behind him came Cui Heng's voice, "President Yao, is your old headache acting up again? Let me massage it for you."

Jiang Zhuo turned around and said coldly, "Cui Heng, don't think I don't know how you feel about my mother. As long as I'm alive, I will never agree to you marrying into my family!"

Yao Jinzhi had a headache.

After Jiang Zhuo left, she apologized on behalf of her son, "Xiao Heng, I'm sorry. I've spoiled Jiang Zhuo, and he's developed such a foolish and arrogant personality. He even misunderstood our relationship."

"no."

"You're still defending him."

"I mean, he didn't misunderstand." Cui Heng looked at Yao Jinzhi with a frank gaze.

The spoon slipped from Yao Jinzhi's hand and splashed into the bowl.

Meanwhile, Zhao Zhao was chewing on goose leg meat, her chubby little face stuffed full.

The food today was delicious!

On the other side, Jiang Yanci peeled the popsicle and held it to Ruan Yang's lips to chill it.

Smelling the aroma of apple-flavored ice cream, Ruan Yang swallowed hard.

"Brother, I'll hold it myself."

"No." Jiang Yanci pulled her hand back. "You'll sneak food. You're on your period right now, you can't eat cold food."

Her thoughts exposed, Ruan Yang grumbled unhappily, "...Why do you care about this? Am I getting married, or am I just looking for a father figure?"

Jiang Yanci: "Calling me Daddy is fine too."

Ruan Yang: "..."

She didn't speak, but pouted, pressing her lips to the ice cream to reduce the swelling.

Jiang Yanci smiled, his slender fingers holding the popsicle stick, working diligently without complaint.

The moment the ice cream touched the air, it emitted a misty chill. When pressed against the soft, moist lips, a slight pressure caused the lips to indent slightly.

This scene was captured in his dark eyes, and his prominent Adam's apple bobbed.

"Baby," he said, "want a lick?"
