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

"I'm going to buy a headscarf."

Ruan Yang raised his face and spoke with a righteous indignation.

She pointed to the couples getting their marriage certificates nearby, "Look, they all have veils. If others have them, I want to have one too."

Jiang Yanci followed her fingertips and saw a thin layer of white veil adorning the bride's hair, shimmering softly in the sunlight.

"I'll have someone buy it." He took her hand, his tone calm but brooking no argument.

Ruan Yang's heart was pounding, and she could only let him lead her back to the service hall.

The waiting time is still far off.

She still has a chance to escape.

Five minutes later, the veil arrived.

Not only the veil, but also a bouquet of white roses glistening with dew.

Jiang Yanci lowered his eyes to look at her, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "Yangyang, is there anything else you need?"

Ruan Yang glanced at the deliveryman's bulging backpack and gently shook her head, "...That's all."

"Okay, let's go in then."

Ruan Yang paused, "...It's not our turn yet, is it?"

"We've arrived," Jiang Yanci said with a smile.

Under Ruan Yang's puzzled gaze, she was led into the room.

The process of obtaining the marriage certificate was faster than I expected.

It wasn't until the sound of the red stamp being applied that Ruan Yang came to her senses.

She can't escape.

When she received the two marriage certificates, her fingertips trembled slightly, as if it were unreal.

"Unhappy?" Jiang Yanci's voice came from above.

Ruan Yang stared blankly, tilting her head back with a hint of disbelief. "Is this really not a dream?"

Jiang Yanci's eyebrows twitched slightly. "A beautiful dream, or a nightmare?"

It was a nightmare.

Ruan Yang's nose suddenly stung with tears. She was afraid that Yao Jinzhi would find out, and even more afraid that she would bring criticism to the Jiang family.

But not wanting her brother to see through her, she buried her face in his chest and mumbled, "...It was a sweet dream."

She buried her face in his chest, her tears soaking the front of his shirt.

Jiang Yanci gently patted her back.

From today onwards, Yangyang can wet everything he owns.

But it shouldn't be tears.

*

In the car, Ruan Yang sat in the back seat, staring blankly at the marriage certificate.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Ke Yun.

[Ke Yun]: Miss Ruan, have you thought it through regarding marriage?

She's made up her mind.

But she couldn't leave.

She could no longer marry Ke Yun.

【阮泱】：Sorry.

She sent the two words, felt a pang of sadness, and turned her phone face down.

Ke Yun's identity is suspected by his uncle, and he is in a difficult situation.

Ruan Yang really wanted to help her and dispel her uncle's suspicions, but she didn't know how.

She's really useless.

Ruan Yang's voice was a little hoarse, "Please take me to Xingcan. I have classes this afternoon, and it's not good for the child to keep changing teachers..."

She was used to calling him "brother," but Jiang Yanci wouldn't let her say it.

She couldn't bring herself to call him "husband."

So she simply stopped using any titles, since there were only two people in the back row anyway.

But Jiang Yanci did not respond to her.

Ruan Yang reached out and tugged at his sleeve, but Jiang Yanci still didn't look at her.

As the car was about to turn into the bend, Ruan Yang became a little anxious.

She tugged at Jiang Yanci's sleeve, "I said I want to go to Xingcan."

Jiang Yanci finally turned his head and looked at her.

"Yangyang, you need to be polite." He was like a good parent, patiently teaching his child, "You need to use proper titles when talking to people. What should you call me?"

Ruan Yang understood instantly.

Her petty schemes were nothing compared to Jiang Yanci's.

As the car was about to reach the fork in the road, Ruan Yang could only bite her lip and say, "...Honey, I need to go to school."

Jiang Yanci smiled and said, "Go to Xingcan."

The driver responded and drove onto the straight road.

The path was right, but Ruan Yang was filled with anxiety.

Previously, her older brother was always gentle in front of her.

But now, she has felt his dominance time and time again, that sense of control that is subtle yet relentlessly pressing forward.

This kind of brother was unfamiliar to her and frightened her.

She used to be afraid of thunder and horror movies, and would hide in her older brother's arms.

But she never thought about what would happen if one day she became afraid of her older brother.

Ruan Yang felt inexplicably uneasy.

In the original story, her eldest brother loved her the most, so the plot arranged for her to die.

If they get married, will my brother still be in trouble?

Ruan Yang became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and finally couldn't help but hide in Jiang Yanci's arms.

The familiar scent calmed her panicked heart, giving her a sense of peace that made her feel like the world could collapse at any moment.

It's strange, even though she's afraid of him, she feels safest in his arms.

Doubao, doubao, what's going on?

Jiang Yanci glanced at the little girl nestled in his arms like a kitten and gently rubbed the top of her head.

Very nice.

If you can't teach me the first time, teach me the second time.

You can always teach him.

His Yangyang is a little girl who lacks a sense of security.

Their wedding should also be grand and beautiful, giving her a sense of security.

Across the ocean.

Qiao Lingling's video account is gaining momentum and is the most popular among couple vlogs.

Business invitations came in droves.

But she remains unassuming and told GG Entertainment, "I don't want my love videos to have any commercial taint."

Unfortunately, life is more than just islands and sunsets; it also involves real money bills.

Jiang Zhuo's money is running out.

Even five-star hotels are becoming unaffordable.

In the morning, she and Jiang Zhuo passed by the only church on the island.

Very beautiful.

Fans are commenting that they should hold a small wedding in this church.

Qiao Lingling contacted the GG (Girlfriend) distributor of the wedding ring brand and agreed to accept GG (Girlfriend) orders.

But the fashion industry is the most vengeful.

The other party offered the following terms: "A deposit of 30,000 yuan, which will be increased to 1 million yuan if the number of views exceeds 20 million."

Qiao Lingling agreed.

She told Jiang Zhuo about the plan.

Jiang Zhuo is not someone who watches short videos much.

"Get married in a church?" He frowned. "Ruan Yang will definitely make a scene if she finds out."

Qiao Lingling lowered her eyes and bit her lip.

"If it's too much trouble, then forget it... Although I've been dreaming about what my wedding dress would look like since I was a child, I'm afraid my illness means I won't live to see someone I love and who loves me back."

This perfectly hit Jiang Zhuo's white knight complex.

He had a smooth life, but what he lacked was self-identity.

Qiao Lingling, who was poor, weak, and suffering from a terminal illness, was the person he most wanted to save.

"It's okay, go ahead and take the picture."

The older brother's hypnosis has worked; Ruan Yang will forget him for a month, and even if she sees the video, she will only treat him as a stranger.

Once he returns to China, he can delete the video before Ruan Yang regains her memory.
