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

What Ruan Yang touched was the lighter used for hypnosis.

Jiang Yanci frowned slightly; naturally, he wouldn't let Ruan Yang sleep next to him.

But he could hypnotize Yangyang and make her obediently go back to sleep.

Jiang Yanci bent down, took the lighter, and with a "click," a flame shot up.

But this time.

Before he could speak, Ruan Yang puffed out her cheeks and blew out the flame.

She laughed and said, "Brother, you can't play with fire in the bedroom, or you'll wet the bed."

"..." Jiang Yanci paused.

Looking at the extinguished lighter and then at his smiling sister, he pressed his temples in anguish.

"Brother, does your head hurt?" Ruan Yang got up from the bed, placed her fingers on the back of his neck, and said obediently, "Let me rub it for you."

Magic pill.

His sister is a demon.

Jiang Yanci thought painfully.

"Brother, we should go to sleep," said Mowan.

"……Um."

Jiang Yanci knew that if he didn't do as Ruan Yang wanted, even if he could kick her out today, she would still come back tomorrow.

He lay down, silently chanting in his heart, "Red powder and skulls are all illusions."

The skeleton looked up, "Brother, what are you muttering about?"

"...It's nothing, go to sleep."

The rain was drizzling outside the window.

The window was closed, but the gardenias still smelled intensely, as if they were about to overwhelm him.

The gardenias smelled sweet all night.

Even in my dreams I have no peace.

The next day, Jiang Yanci woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw a small, pinkish-white face, like a glutinous rice ball, resting on his arm.

Jiang Yanci couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a moment.

"elder brother……"

The glutinous rice ball murmured in its sleep, calling his name.

Jiang Yanci snapped out of his daze, remembered what happened last night, and silently picked the person up and carried them back to the bedroom.

The maid who got up early was startled when she saw this scene.

Isn't Ruan Yang the second young master's fiancée? How come she was carried out of the bedroom by the eldest young master?

Jiang Yanci glanced at her.

The maid's heart pounded like a drum, and she quickly lowered her head, "...Young Master."

Jiang Yanci's dark gaze fell on the maid, but his voice was gentle, "I remember you. Your son is in school now, what grade is he?"

The maid turned pale with fright.

"...Young Master, I didn't see anything, and I won't say anything."

How could she not sense that this was a threat?

Jiang Yanci withdrew his gaze, his profile turning cold and stern.

When the maid caught Ruan Yang leaving his bedroom early in the morning, he should have clarified the situation instead of threatening her.

For some inexplicable reason, when he saw the maid's shocked gaze fixed on him and Ruan Yang, a strange sense of pleasure welled up inside him.

It was as if he really had something going on with Ruan Yang.

crazy.

He's really gone mad.

From today onwards, he must stay away from Ruan Yang; he can't continue down this wrong path.

……

When Ruan Yang woke up and saw the familiar bedroom, she realized she had been careless.

It must have been her brother who secretly brought her back last night while she was asleep.

It's okay, it takes 21 days to form a good habit.

Tonight she will wait until her brother falls asleep before she goes to sleep, so as not to give him the chance to go to the ICU!

Ruan Yang did not see Jiang Yanci at breakfast.

Yao Jinzhi said, "Yan Ci left early this morning; there might be an early meeting."

She sighed again, "Yan Ci is almost twenty-eight and he's not making any plans to get married. I don't know which girl can stand his cold personality. Xiao Zhuo is much more outgoing and knows how to charm girls. I saw the gift he gave you yesterday was very thoughtful."

Ruan Yang pursed her lips.

She knew that Yao Jinzhi wanted to persuade her to reconcile with Jiang Zhuo.

Jiang Zhuo is excellent; he's good-looking, comes from a good family, and is a highly sought-after racing prodigy.

He is also smart and does everything well. He excels in everything he does, from studying and playing games to racing.

Ruan Yang follows Jiang Zhuo on Instagram; it's quite colorful.

Jiang Zhuo has a wide circle of friends; they could form the United Nations.

His life was full of ups and downs, like the colorful windows on a church wall, attracting everyone who passed by.

Even when the Jiang family fell into crisis later on, it was he who turned the tide.

He is the protagonist of the story.

All praise and flowers were offered to him with open hands, and the spotlights forever crowned him.

He didn't have to inherit the family business at the prime of his life, facing enemies on all sides.

You don't have to deal with a bunch of numbers every day or attend social events that you can't refuse.

"Big brother is great. He's just too busy with work to have time for a girlfriend... Otherwise, he would definitely be more popular than Jiang Zhuo."

Ruan Yang couldn't help but whisper a rebuttal.

Yao Jinzhi was taken aback.

A thought flashed through her mind.

But she didn't catch it.

Yao Jinzhi grasped Ruan Yang's hand, gazing at the graceful young girl before her, her heart filled with countless emotions.

Seven years ago, her husband disappeared, her youngest son had an accident, and she was pregnant.

She is a very traditional woman.

Before marriage, listen to your father; after marriage, listen to your husband.

After her husband disappeared, she lost her pillar of support, surrounded by wolves who wanted to tear her and her child apart.

Ruan Yang's appearance brought a new dimension to her and the entire Jiang family.

Ruan Yang looked a lot like her lost daughter, and Yao Jinzhi felt a sense of kinship as soon as she saw Ruan Yang.

It was Ruan Yang who encouraged her to start her own business, which gave Yao Jinzhi the courage to take the first step and lead to her beauty salons now spread throughout Beijing and Hong Kong.

Yao Jinzhi held Ruan Yang's hand.

"Sweetie, Mom knows you had a fight with Xiaozhuo and are still angry with him, but he is actually a very good child."

"In case, and I mean in case... Xiaozhuo isn't lucky enough to marry you, I want to adopt you as my goddaughter. When you get married, I'll prepare a dowry for you, so you don't have to compromise yourself. I hope you can be happy."

Ruan Yang's eyes stung with tears as she listened, and she threw herself into Yao Jinzhi's arms.

……

After breakfast, Ruan Yang first went to the Sky Restaurant to pick up her car, and then went to the training class.

When she was checking in, Meng Ling called out to her.

"Yangyang, Qiao Wei took the day off today. Could you help look after her class?"

"no problem."

Aren't you curious why she took the day off?

Why?

Meng Ling smiled, "It's probably because of her online boyfriend."

Ruan Yang was surprised, "Online dating?"

"Yes." Meng Ling said mysteriously, "Qiao Wei said last month that she found a rich second-generation boyfriend. They met in person yesterday. If it really works out, knowing Qiao Wei's personality, she definitely won't be able to wait to show off."

Ruan Yang was completely confused.

Just then, a familiar Bentley pulled up at the entrance.

Huo Nian got out of the car through the back door. Through the glass door, she saw Ruan Yang, whose grape-like eyes curved into crescent moons as she ran over.

"Niannian's here," Ruan Yang greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Ms. Ruan." Another voice rang out.

Ruan Yang looked up and noticed Huo Shen following behind Nian Nian.

It was too late yesterday, so Ruan Yang didn't see clearly. But today, with the sunlight shining brightly, she could see Huo Shen's face clearly.

Single eyelids, narrow face, high nose bridge.

It's a very popular Korean look.

Huo Shen smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Teacher Ruan, for staying up so late with us yesterday. I'll treat everyone to coffee."

The coffee bag has a logo printed on it; it's from a rather expensive, trendy coffee shop.

Ruan Yang is caffeine intolerant, and her heart races every time she drinks it.

But since they've already bought it, it wouldn't be good to refuse.

"You're too kind."

While Ruan Yang hesitated, Meng Ling walked over.

She said coldly to Ruan Yang, "Class is about to start, you take Niannian upstairs first."
