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

Ruan Yang thought to herself, this isn't really a lie.

Isn't it a bit too serious, brother?

Aren't they childhood friends?

Not wanting to affect her brother's relationship with his friends, Ruan Yang quickly explained, "It's nothing, she's quite cute."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing..."

Noticing that her brother was a little unhappy, Ruan Yang didn't say anything more.

But Jiang Yanci heard it.

Yang Yang Kuo Huo Shen is so adorable.

Yes, Huo Shen's personality is very similar to Jiang Zhuo's; they are both warm and sunny.

Completely opposite to myself.

He was neither enthusiastic nor cheerful, like a gloomy, rainy day with dark clouds looming over the city, so oppressive that there wasn't a breath of wind.

An inexplicable anger lingered in his heart, like a thin, tingling thread that tightened around his chest, causing him pain.

Jiang Yanci's chest heaved, the gloom in his eyes unable to dissipate.

The atmosphere was tense.

Ruan Yang broke the silence, "Brother, is there something you need from me?"

Jiang Yanci suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "Get ready, I will announce in public in a moment that I am recognizing you as the Jiang family's goddaughter."

Ruan Yang was taken aback.

Jiang Yanci's eyebrows twitched. "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with Jiang Zhuo?"

"No, no, no!"

Ruan Yang was just too happy; the plot of her dream had already begun to change.

She grinned and hugged Jiang Yanci's arm. "I'm just so happy."

Jiang Yanci felt the softness of the touch, restrained himself and withdrew his arm, glancing at the time on his wrist.

"It's almost time, I'll take you to the first floor."

He took a step forward, placed the glass he had just taken a sip of back on the table, and a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

As long as Yangyang is happy.

From then on, she was just a younger sister.

Jiang Yanci has long legs and takes big strides.

Ruan Yang quickly followed.

Suddenly, her eyelids twitched.

She subconsciously looked up at the ceiling of the lounge.

—The chandelier in the center of the ceiling swayed slightly, as if a sign of impending collapse.

The hillside manor undergoes regular monthly maintenance, so how could such a large crystal chandelier fall down for no reason?

The plot is really kicking in...

Ruan Yang's head buzzed, and before she could think, her body reacted.

She pounced on him quickly.

"Brother, watch out!"

wow-

The crystal chandelier fell heavily to the ground, and Ruan Yang collapsed onto Jiang Yanci, both of them falling to the ground.

Jiang Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

If it weren't for Yang Yang's protection, the crystal chandelier would have smashed on his head.

It was Yangyang who protected him.

"Brother, are you alright?" Ruan Yang's eyes were still filled with shock.

Jiang Yanci was fine, but he noticed that Ruan Yang's calf was cut by a shard of broken crystal and was bleeding.

His eyes darkened, and he immediately carried the person back to the sofa in the lounge.

"It's nothing, brother, it's just a minor injury."

Seeing his worry, Ruan Yang comforted him.

She often gets injured while practicing dance, but these minor injuries are the kind that heal on their own without going to the hospital.

But Jiang Yanci insisted.

He took out a first-aid kit, and with his palm lifted Ruan Yang's skirt, revealing her slender wrist bones beneath the layers of fabric.

Jiang Yanci took off her high heels, held her slender ankle, and carefully applied medicine to the wound.

It's better if we don't use medicine.

The medicine stung.

"Brother, it hurts..."

The little girl hissed, and Jiang Yanci opened his eyes and saw Ruan Yang at that moment, his blood rushing to his head.

The little girl was lounging on the sofa, her graceful legs bent to the side on the black leather sofa, her fair skin glistening with a light pink tinge.

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol.

He had thoughts he shouldn't have.

Faced with his sister's injury because of him, he harbored beastly thoughts...

He's not even as good as livestock.

Jiang Yanci stood up and said softly, "I'll go call the doctor."

He was enduring a lot of hardship; his eyes were bloodshot, and to onlookers, it seemed as if he was suppressing anger.

In the corridor, Ruan Mingzhu walked gracefully, intending to accidentally walk into the wrong room and then be pulled into Jiang Yanci's arms by the drugged Jiang Yanci and plundered.

But when she caught a glimpse of his current state, her legs went weak with fear.

Could it be that Ruan Yang's drugging was discovered?

This good-for-nothing is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!

Ruan Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, an idea forming in her mind. She decided to pretend to be flustered and walk up to him.

"Jiang, are you alright? Did my sister just bring you a glass of champagne? You shouldn't drink it! She drugged you!"

As she spoke, she showed him the video.

"Senior Jiang, look!"

"She said that Jiang Zhuo didn't want her, so she wanted to seduce you to solidify her position and marry into a wealthy family!"

Jiang Yanci's eyes turned cold.

Reason told him that Nguyen Minh Chau was lying.

But reason has vanished.

Or perhaps he did it on purpose. He knew Ruan Yang; she only saw him as an older brother and only respected him. She would never do such a thing.

If she wanted to marry into a wealthy family, why would she need to drug him?

As long as she agrees to Huo Shen's request, Huo Shen can bring the Civil Affairs Bureau home that very night.

But he still deliberately believed it.

It's just to find a reasonable excuse for their despicable mentality.

A reasonable reason to seize Ruan Yang for himself.

Yes, he wants to protect Ruan Yang, so why does he have to recognize her as his sister?

She could also be his wife.

Nguyen Minh Chau thought her attempt to sow discord had worked.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her tone softened, "Senior Jiang, my sister is really ungrateful, but if you need help, I can help you..."

Her soft, alluring body had just leaned in.

It was brushed aside before it even touched anything.

Jiang Yanci turned around and went back into the room. The door was pushed open forcefully, then bounced back against the door frame, shaking the room.

Immediately, he locked the door.

Ruan Yang was unaware of what had happened, but sensing that her brother's aura was off, she instinctively shrank back behind the sofa.

"Brother, what's wrong...?"

The response she received was a large, hot palm pressed against the back of her head.

His tall figure loomed over her, his shadow flowing over her body. Familiar lips pressed against hers, the scent of cedar wafting in and intertwining with her lips and teeth.

"Ugh—"

For a moment, Ruan Yang forgot to breathe.

It wasn't a dream, and there was no hypnosis involved.

It was her older brother kissing her.

Ruan Yang's brain was too busy to think.

Jiang Yanci kissed her fiercely, pinning Ruan Yang to the soft sofa, her mouth ruthlessly robbed of air, her chest pressed against his firm and powerful body.

She was kissed so hard that tears streamed down her face, as if she were about to die.

"Big brother, it's me..."

Ruan Yang turned her head away, trying to bring her elder brother back to his senses.

But when she raised her misty eyes and met Jiang Yanci's deep gaze, it was as if she saw the high seas at night, with unknown undercurrents and dangers beneath the calm surface.

Under the dim lamplight, that cold face was tinged with dappled light, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Only a deep voice rang out from her lips.

"Yangyang, why are you hiding? Isn't this what you wanted?"
