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

The fans were getting anxious, "Why?"

Manager Wu explained, "Ms. Song hasn't paid her bill yet, so everyone can't leave for the time being."

The fans looked puzzled.

"What happened to Jiaojiao?"

"Aren't you a rich heiress? Why haven't you finished paying yet?"

Song Lejiao gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "It's a small problem, there's just a slight issue with the card. How about you pay first, and I'll transfer the money to you later?"

Upon hearing this, the fans' eyes widened.

Her tone shifted abruptly from ingratiating to aggressive: "Didn't we agree that you were treating us? Why are we paying now?"

"You're not really a fake socialite, are you?"

"I don't care, my child is about to get out of kindergarten, you have to pay right now!"

"Yes, or we'll expose you online!"

Song Lejiao was furious!

These people ate her food and drank her water, and now they're turning their backs on her!

A bunch of ungrateful wolves!

She had no choice but to call Ruan Yang again.

For some reason, she always felt that Ruan Yang was more reliable than Qiao Lingling.

At that time, Ruan Yang's plane landed at Mei You Airport in Sucheng.

She forgot to turn off airplane mode, and after leaving the airport, she took a taxi to the hotel where Jiang Yanci was staying.

Once she arrived at the hotel, she remembered to turn on the internet.

Then a bunch of missed calls popped up.

They all belong to Song Lejiao.

But now Ruan Yang no longer cares about Song Lejiao treating her like a sucker.

She only cares about her brother.

Ruan Yangsheng was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Yanci, so she called him.

As soon as the call connected, Ruan Yang saw a familiar figure through the hotel's revolving door.

Jiang Yanci had just finished work, dressed in a sharp black suit, his hair pulled back to reveal his sharp forehead, his posture as upright as a crane, his handsome appearance unique, making it hard for anyone else to notice him.

"Yan Ci, are you going out for dinner tonight?"

Inside the revolving door, Huo Shen turned his head and asked Jiang Yanci.

Jiang Yanci held up his phone, his brows furrowed.

But I didn't hear my sister's voice through the receiver, only her breathing.

He thought something had happened to Ruan Yang, so he quickly walked out of the revolving door, made a pause gesture to Huo Shen, and went to the side to answer the phone.

"Yangyang, what's wrong—"

Before he could finish speaking, a figure enveloped in a fragrant breeze rushed into his arms.

"Brother! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Jiang Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

"...Why are you here?"

Ruan Yang seemed to remember something, and began to pat him down with both hands. "Brother, are you hurt?"

The soft, white fingers felt slightly cool and moved further down.

Jiang Yanci's muscles stiffened, his large hand pressing down on the hands reaching downwards, veins bulging on his forehead. "Yangyang, what's wrong?"

Ruan Yang did not speak.

Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong.

She dared not give her brother any psychological hints.

Ruan Yang looked up, "...It's nothing, I just miss my brother."

Jiang Yanci's breath hitched.

Does she even understand that for any man, a girl who suddenly appears from a city thousands of miles away, with red eyes, hugging him and saying she missed him, is a fatal blow?

Nearby, Huo Shen was texting Little Rose.

He's been busy with Jiang Yanci since early morning and hasn't even had a chance to message Little Rose.

[Huo Shen]: Teacher Little Rose, do you like the gift?

[Little Rose]: Do you want to ask me if I like gifts more, or people who give gifts more?

Huo Shen raised an eyebrow.

He had heard the exact same flirting lines countless times.

It seems that this teacher, Little Rose, really did graduate from a socialite training class.

But this time, Huo Shen was not averse to it.

Even just thinking about the way Teacher Ruan speaks makes his heart pound.

[Huo Shen]: Can't I like them all?

[Little Rose]: No way, it's because that bag is the same as someone else's.

Huo Shen: Huh?

He specifically asked the sales assistant about this bag, and she said it was a limited edition of only one in China. How could he possibly run into someone with the same bag?

He scratched his head, wondering if Jiang Yanci had finished.

When he looked up, he saw his best friend holding a woman in his arms.

Huo Shen: "!!!"

Holy crap, what's going on?

His eyes lit up, and he was about to walk over, but was stopped by Jiang Yanci's gaze.

"You go back first," Jiang Yanci mouthed to him, his arms around the little girl.

"...Alright then."

Huo Shen could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and returned to his room.

After everyone had gone far away, Jiang Yanci finally "torn" the little girl off his body.

Meeting his sister's tearful eyes, he sighed, "Let's go, I'll get you a room."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yang immediately shook his head.

"No, I'll live with you."

"Nonsense." Jiang Yanci's face darkened. "Give me your ID card."

"I won't give it to you."

"Ruan Yang".

"I don't care." Ruan Yang was afraid that her brother would abandon her, so she didn't dare to act up or make a fuss. But after hearing Song Lejiao's words, she would rather be kicked out of the Jiang family than have her brother get hurt.

She sat down on the ground. "If you don't let me stay with you, I won't leave."

Jiang Yanci, with a headache, emphasized, "Ruan Yang!"

Instantly, tears welled up in Ruan Yang's eyes, and she looked at him with wet eyes like a puppy.

Jiang Yanci reluctantly replied, "...Fine."

Ruan Yang burst into laughter through her tears, immediately scrambled to her feet, and obediently followed Jiang Yanci into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed.

Jiang Yanci lowered his eyes and took out the hypnotic lighter.

This time he improved the lighter to prevent it from being blown out by people.

But Ruan Yang was prepared.

She snatched the lighter, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on him, clear and bright. "Brother, smoking isn't allowed in the elevator~"

Jiang Yanci: "..."

Ruan Yang grinned, casually slipping the lighter into her pocket, and said sweetly, "I'll put it away for my brother!"

Jiang Yanci had a headache.

Five minutes later, Ruan Yang followed Jiang Yanci to the top floor as she had wished.

This is a suite; the bedroom has a bed, and the living room has a sofa.

Ruan Yang sat down on the sofa without thinking. "I'll sleep here tonight."

"No, you sleep in the bedroom."

"No." Ruan Yang collapsed onto the sofa, her skirt billowing up to reveal a section of her shapely legs. "Don't think I don't know, brother wants to sleep in your colleague's room after I fall asleep tonight."

Nowadays, in Ruan Yang's eyes, Jiang Yanci is like a glass panda; she has to protect him and stay by his side 24 hours a day.

Jiang Yanci remained silent, gazing intently into Ruan Yang's clear, black and white eyes.

She only saw him as her brother.

But he couldn't just treat her as a younger sister.

He is guilty.

Knowing it's impossible, yet still enjoying it.

He needs to let the young girl know that he is a man, a normal man with desires.

That's why she's afraid and that's why she leaves.

Jiang Yanci's eyes were gloomy. He bent down and grabbed that excessively pale leg, pulling the person onto his lap without saying a word.

Amid the girl's sweet cry, his palm reached deep into the hem of her skirt, his expression cold and stern. "Yangyang, do you know how dangerous it is to book a hotel room with a man?"
