The Moon Sleeps, I Don't: “Bro, you're my actual brother!”
J: “Thanks for taking care of Mom these past few days.”
The Moon Sleeps, I Don't: “Evil Grin.JPG”
The Moon Sleeps, I Don't: “No need to explain. We’re siblings! We came from the same womb! I understand everything, I understand it all!”
All that talk about how hard it had been to take care of their mother was nothing but an excuse.
She stood on the bed with her hands on her hips, an evil grin spreading across her face.
Heh heh heh.
She seemed to have found the road to riches.
With her best friend in hand, she could conquer the world!
—
Zhou Suisui still had no idea that her flight details had been leaked by her best friend. In the blink of an eye, the organizer had already arranged a luxury van to take them to the airport, and it was waiting outside the hotel.
When Wang Mingchuan learned that they were leaving, he came out personally to see them off.
Standing beside the vehicle, he respectfully opened the door for Zhou Suisui.
“Miss Zhou, please.”
“Thank you!”
She thanked him and stepped into the vehicle.
“Bro…”
The moment she looked up, she came face-to-face with Jiang Zongyan’s cool, aloof expression. She froze for a moment.
Their eyes met.
The man curled his lips. “You only say hello to your brother? You’re not going to greet me?”
Zhou Suisui’s cheeks flushed faintly. She obediently called out, “Brother Yan, why are you in the car too?”
“We’re heading back to Tangcheng together.”
Lin Zhou smiled at her. “Miss Zhou, I hope you don’t mind us going to the airport with you?”
Zhou Suisui tilted her head at him and smiled. Her bright eyes curved into beautiful crescents.
“Big Brother Lin, don’t be such a stranger. Of course I don’t mind!”
Oh, dear.
Lin Zhou felt as though an arrow had shot straight through his heart. Miss Zhou was so adorable!
And the way she called him that—she was far too sweet.
No wonder his CEO had fallen for her so easily!
The next second, his CEO’s icy gaze swept over him.
Lin Zhou jumped and immediately clamped his mouth shut.
Seriously? Was the CEO even jealous of him?
“Suisui, come sit over here with me. Don’t bother with them.”
Zhou Sui'an shot warning looks at Jiang Zongyan and Lin Zhou one after another.
Shameless, rotten men.
Who said he wanted to ride with them?
A CEO with all the money in the world, and he still had to hitch a ride in someone else’s vehicle.
“Oh.”
Zhou Suisui nodded and obediently took the seat beside her brother.
Only then was Zhou Sui'an satisfied. He instantly changed expressions, his face filled with ingratiation.
“Little sis, are you feeling any better? Can you handle the flight? Should I ask Assistant Wen to prepare a private jet for us?”
They had changed their plans at the last minute, and the private jet was in Tangcheng. Going back and forth would only be more trouble.
Zhou Suisui shook her head. “I’m fine. Assistant Wen is usually very busy too.”
“That’s my sister—kindhearted enough to worry about other people.”
Zhou Sui'an instructed the driver, “You can go.”
“Yes, Mr. Zhou.”
Outside the vehicle, Mr. Wang immediately stuck half his head out and waved at them with a beaming smile.
“Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou, goodbye! We hope you’ll come back to Haicheng for another visit!”
Over the past two days, Zhou Sui'an had tormented him in every possible way. He had made Wang Mingchuan carry a table around the banquet hall and clean all the toilets in the entire building by himself.
Now, at long last, he was sending this great menace away.
The smile on his face was brighter than a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
“Mr. Zhou, next time you come to Haicheng, please be sure to notify me in advance. I’ll personally pick you up at the airport and guarantee that your food and accommodations will be arranged perfectly.”
“We didn’t host you properly this time. I hope you’ll forgive us.”
Zhou Sui'an merely snorted and ignored him completely. “Close the door.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll close it right away.”
Wang Mingchuan had endured Zhou Sui'an’s icy looks and cold attitude for two whole days, yet he didn’t dare show even the slightest trace of annoyance.
It was true that he had behaved thoughtlessly by arranging for Miss Zhou and Mr. Jiang to stay in the same suite.
He had also misunderstood Assistant Lin’s instructions.
Assistant Lin had specifically called to remind him, and Wang Mingchuan had assumed that Miss Zhou and Mr. Jiang were a couple!
If they had already confirmed their relationship, arranging things that way would not have been a problem.
But who could have known? Miss Zhou and Mr. Jiang weren’t even close to becoming a couple.
The fact that Zhou Sui'an hadn’t torn him limb from limb was already proof that his ancestors were watching over him.
The door closed, and the vehicle drove away.
—
The organizer had arranged a luxury van for them. The interior was spacious, and the four of them had plenty of room.
Zhou Suisui and Zhou Sui'an sat on one side, while Jiang Zongyan and Lin Zhou sat opposite them.
The moment the vehicle started moving, two cups of hot water were held out in front of her at the same time.
“Drink some hot water.”
Zhou Suisui looked up and saw Zhou Sui'an and Jiang Zongyan both watching her, their eyes filled with concern.
Each of them held a steaming cup of hot water.
Their gazes silently battled, and neither was willing to back down first.
The atmosphere in the vehicle suddenly turned awkward, filled with invisible sparks and the clash of drawn swords.
Zhou Suisui’s scalp tingled. She reached out at the same time and accepted both cups.
“I’ll drink them!”
Zhou Sui'an was speechless. “Who told you to drink his?”
Zhou Suisui forced a stiff smile. “Hehe, Brother Yan was only trying to be kind.”
“Who knows what he’s really up to?”
Zhou Sui'an pursed his lips unhappily.
She actually accepted water from Jiang Zongyan!
Jiang Zongyan smiled and pointed at his cup. “Suisui, I added ginger candy to mine. It’ll help warm you up.”
Zhou Sui'an let out an unconvinced snort. “As if I didn’t add sugar to mine.”
“…”
Zhou Suisui felt as though she had two heads and four hands, yet neither was enough.
If she offended either of them, she would never hear the end of it.
In truth, she had already drunk some water before leaving and wasn’t thirsty at all. Even so, she braced herself and drank both cups of hot water.
A sweet, sugary flavor spread through her mouth.
Sure enough, both cups had ginger candy in them.
After she finished drinking, a warm current spread from her stomach, and the chill in her lower abdomen really did ease.
She hadn’t expected these two grown men to be so thoughtful.
Zhou Suisui was touched. She smiled at her brother and Jiang Zongyan in turn.
“Thank you. They both taste pretty good.”
Seeing this, the tension in Jiang Zongyan’s expression softened. He picked up a blanket that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Zhou Suisui.
“The air-conditioning is strong. Cover yourself with this so you don’t catch a chill.”
Zhou Suisui had already been feeling a little cold, so she accepted the thin blanket without being coy.
She was just about to thank him when her fingertips were suddenly hooked by someone.
She lowered her head and saw Jiang Zongyan’s finger quietly curl around hers.
The warm touch carried a hint of cautious probing.
A tingling sensation spread from her fingertip.
She froze in place.
By the time she reacted, Zhou Suisui’s cheeks had turned bright red, and her heart had inexplicably begun to race.
“Thank you!”
She hurriedly took the thin blanket and draped it over herself.
“…”
Zhou Sui'an, who had witnessed everything from beside her, glared furiously. The anger in his eyes was practically overflowing.
A heavy, oppressive aura radiated from his entire body.
He had miscalculated!
He was utterly devastated!
That male fox spirit was being so brazen right in front of him.
His sister was really going to have her soul stolen by that male fox spirit!
On the way to the airport, the two men engaged in a silent battle with their eyes.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Sui'an glared at Jiang Zongyan the entire way.
Jiang Zongyan, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm.
Every morning at nine o’clock sharp, he took out his tablet without fail to review the day’s global financial briefings and check the rises and falls of the stock market.
Sigh.
Zhou Suisui leaned against the window, the thin blanket draped over her.
Those big eyes darted around, glancing at her brother beside her, then at Jiang Zongyan across from them.
She could only sigh helplessly to herself.
Just look.
Her brother clearly wasn’t as composed as the other man.
“!!”
Zhou Sui’an was so furious he could have exploded. He glared fiercely at her.
“Ahem.”
Zhou Suisui immediately looked away guiltily and lifted her head to gaze at the sky outside the car window.
