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

Ruan Yang was stunned.

She had never heard her older brother speak to her in such a tone before.

His tone was somewhat resentful, and also a little jealous.

Is my older brother jealous?

She was startled by the idea and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."

……

The Cullinan drove all the way back to the Jiang residence.

Yao Jinzhi returned early today and saw Ruan Yang and Jiang Yanci returning together, which made her eyes twitch.

She walked to the door and asked casually, "Yanci, did you and Yangyang go out together?"

"Mm." Jiang Yanci nodded.

He had no intention of hiding it.

Whether you knew it sooner or later, you were going to find out eventually.

Besides, he and Ruan Yang have now registered their marriage.

Even if my mother finds out, so what?

Should I advise Yangyang to divorce her?

Better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage.

Since her mother loves Yangyang so much, she won't let her get a divorce so easily.

As for Jiang Zhuo, he is indeed in trouble.

He knew his second brother, a spoiled brat who thought the world revolved around him.

He is used to being loved and doesn't understand how to lose.

He treated Yangyang's feelings for him as a shackle, and also as a habit.

He thought that as long as he turned around, Yangyang would always be waiting for him in the same place.

But the Earth keeps rotating 24 hours a day, and no one will wait for anyone in the same place.

Jiang Yanci didn't take Jiang Zhuo seriously.

He kept it from Jiang Zhuo for the time being, simply because he didn't want him to cause trouble.

The real problem now is that foreigner who, after only one meeting, has already decided to marry Yangyang.

Jiang Yanci remained calm and composed in the face of Yao Jinzhi's probing.

Ruan Yang, however, felt guilty.

She dared not let Ms. Yao know.

She knew that she and her older brother couldn't keep their marriage a secret for long.

But at least, it's better to find out a day later.

Ruan Yang was never brave enough; she was like an ostrich, wanting to bury her head in the sand when faced with problems.

Others can't see her, so she can't see others either.

She didn't want to see the look of disappointment on Yao Jinzhi's face.

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if Yao Jinzhi found out that her youngest son's fiancée, whom she had doted on for seven years, had secretly registered her marriage with her eldest son...

This is enough to be considered a scandal among the wealthy families of Beijing and Hong Kong.

She must be so angry.

"Mom, my brother was picking me up from get off work," Ruan Yang quickly explained.

Yao Jinzhi was taken aback. "Off work?"

"...Yes." Ruan Yang clenched her fists. "I found a job as a dance teacher."

"When did this happen?" Yao Jinzhi pulled Ruan Yang's hand. "Why didn't you tell Mom?"

"I was afraid I wouldn't last long, so I didn't tell anyone."

Yao Jinzhi felt a little guilty and pulled the person to the dining table. "It's all my fault. I've been so busy lately that I didn't even notice. Look how thin your little face looks. Eat more."

Ruan Yang pursed her lips.

She's clearly gained weight.

Love is always a feeling of indebtedness.

Thinking about how she had secretly married Yao Jinzhi, Ruan Yang felt increasingly guilty.

At the dining table, Zhao Zhao sat down next to Ruan Yang, swinging her short legs, and said softly, "Yang Yang, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Ruan Yang paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still.

Who is this soft, fluffy little rice cake?

Zhao Zhao is a cool guy.

Ruan Yang was a little worried. Would Zhao Zhao be bullied?

Her expression was serious. "Did someone bully you at kindergarten?"

Zhao Zhao shook her head. "No."

"But you didn't like sleeping with me before."

"I..." Jiang Zhaozhao pouted, "I thought you would like a cool little girl, so I did that. Last time I saw you holding a little goose, she would hold your hand and rub her head against you, and you were laughing happily."

"Silly goose?"

"Yes, it's that little girl with the strawberry hair tie just like you."

Ruan Yang chuckled silently.

It turns out the cool and aloof guy was just an act; the real person was Xiao Nian Gao.

She thought Zhaozhao didn't like her.

"Zhaozhao, you can't give little kids nicknames. Her name is Niannian... But why would you think I like cold little kids?"

"Because your second brother is always cold to you, but you still like him very much."

Mentioning Jiang Zhuo made Ruan Yang's heart leap.

She sensed Jiang Yanci's gaze out of the corner of her eye, and a blank expression crossed her face: "Second Brother?"

Jiang Zhaozhao nodded vigorously, her chubby little face swaying as she did so.

"Yes, you really like him..."

"One should not speak while eating," Jiang Yanci interrupted Jiang Zhaozhao.

Jiang Zhaozhao was so frightened that she immediately fell silent and buried her head in her rice bowl.

Yao Jinzhi, who was standing nearby, noticed Ruan Yang's unusual behavior.

Why did Yangyang's expression look like... she didn't know Jiang Zhuo when Zhaozhao mentioned him?

After the meal, Yao Jinzhi called out to her eldest son.

"Yan Ci, come with me."

Jiang Yanci knew what his mother wanted to ask.

Ruan Yang also knew.

She pulled Jiang Yanci aside and said to Yao Jinzhi, "Mom, I want my brother to help me stretch my legs. School teachers are also responsible for student recruitment, so I'm posting teaching videos online so that parents can see the videos and come to me to buy courses."

When people feel guilty, they tend to talk a lot.

Hearing this, Yao Jinzhi felt a pang of sympathy. "What kind of school is this that needs teachers to recruit students? Don't worry, Yangyang, Mom will find someone to enroll you at your school tomorrow."

Ruan Yang twisted her fingers; the better Yao Jinzhi treated her, the stronger her guilt became.

"No……"

Yao Jinzhi wanted to say something more.

Jiang Yanci saw this and pulled Ruan Yang's twisted hand over, "Let's go, let's change our clothes first."

Ruan Yang breathed a sigh of relief, like a prisoner who had been pardoned.

At the dining table, Jiang Zhaozhao's two short legs swung back and forth, her hands cupping her face, looking as if she had bumped into something.

"Mom, don't you think Yangyang and Big Brother are a good match? Big Brother likes Yangyang a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Jinzhi's eyelids twitched.

When her youngest son said that last time, she just took it as innocent childish talk.

But now, as Yao Jinzhi watched the two figures go upstairs, she could no longer treat it as a joke.

……

Inside the training room.

Ruan Yang changed her clothes and set up her phone.

To allow the audience to see her exertion more clearly, she wore a backless ballet leotard in light blue today.

Her hair was neatly tied into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and beautiful swan neck.

When Jiang Yanci walked in, he saw a slender figure stretching her legs on the ballet bar.

Beneath the sheer skirt, her shapely calves were encased in pink and white ballet trousers.

One leg rested on the wooden pole, her chest pressed against her calf, a sight both soft and beautiful.

Jiang Yanci's eyebrows twitched slightly as he locked the door.
