After breakfast.
Old Master Tao called relatives to come over.
Jin Minjia, whose parents had passed away early, quickly called her younger brother from her maiden family, asking him to come and meet his own niece.
Chen Ruanruan stared at Chen Liuyue and Wei Miao with a searching gaze.
She asked curiously:
"Liuyue, are you really with Young Master Wei?"
Their hands were still clasped together.
Wei Miao gave a light hum and instead held on tighter.
The corners of his mouth lifted, his tone not the least bit polite.
"Do you live by the Pacific Ocean, minding such a wide scope of business?"
Chen Liuyue shot a shy, timid glance and then nodded obediently, her voice crisp and sweet.
"Yes, sister."
"Brother Wei is both good-looking and capable. Ah, I don't mean to say brother-in-law isn't good."
"It's just that compared to a pearl and a piece of wood, anyone would choose the pearl."
"And I don't mean to say brother-in-law is a piece of wood either."
Wei Miao, who had been praised as the 'pearl', couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth lift slightly.
He nodded with an air of seriousness.
Chen Ruanruan's face fell as she lowered her head.
Seeing this, Chen Haotian felt distressed and shouted at her, "Chen Liuyue, don't you know I hate Wei Miao the most, and yet you're with him?"
"I know," Chen Liuyue said, curving her lips into a smile as she nodded her head.
"If you're my sister, don't be with someone like Wei Miao," Chen Haotian said with a dark face. "Otherwise, don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my sister!"
"Oh."
After saying this, Chen Liuyue took Wei Miao's hand and walked out.
She didn't pay the slightest heed to Chen Haotian's words.
From behind them came Chen Haotian's furious voice:
"You brat! So disobedient, you're not even fit to compare to Ruanruan's little toe."
Chen Liuyue gave a cold laugh.
She had already pulled Wei Miao outside the Tao family's old mansion.
"Don't be angry," Wei Miao said soothingly, studying her expression.
A brilliant smile appeared on Chen Liuyue's lips as she said,
"I'm not angry at all."
"He doesn't see me as his real sister, and why should I see a pig as my brother?"
"Don't argue with fools, because they'll drag your IQ down to their level."
"What I believe in is hitting the snake at its vital point."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, about to dial a number.
Suddenly noticing her other hand had been firmly held all this time, she shot Wei Miao a meaningful glance, half-smiling.
She then shook that hand.
The clasped hands hadn't loosened at all.
"Brother Wei, could you please..."
"Okay," Wei Miao replied quickly.
"...give my hand back to me," Chen Liuyue said with a smile.
"No!" Wei Miao still replied just as quickly.
Chen Liuyue smiled like a little fox.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes lifted slightly.
"Brother Wei, back inside, I was just playing the role of your girlfriend temporarily to help you escape Old Mrs. Tao's clutches."
"Now, can you let go of this hand?"
"What if sister gets angry later?"
Wei Miao stared straight at her, enunciating each word clearly:
"It wasn't pretend."
"And there won't be any 'sister' in the future."
"There's only you."
This sudden confession caused a flicker of surprise to cross Chen Liuyue's face.
She calmly curved her lips.
Her other hand lifted, gently caressing the sharp angles of his cheek.
Wei Miao's cheeks immediately flushed crimson, especially the tips of his ears, which turned so red they seemed about to drip blood.
Chen Liuyue didn't stop her movements.
That restless little hand traveled down from his face, her slender, fair fingertips tracing down to his prominent Adam's apple.
"Brother Wei."
"Hmm!" He nodded.
Chen Liuyue said with a sly smile, "Your mouth... looks like it would be... very nice to kiss."
Wei Miao swallowed nervously.
"......"
Chen Liuyue stood on her tiptoes and actively placed his other hand on her own waist.
A hint of laughter was in her voice.
"You can close your eyes this time."
"Huh?..." Wei Miao didn't react in time.
His pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes were still wide open.
The next moment.
Liuyue leaned in, a familiar scent with a faint hint of lily-of-the-valley enveloping his senses.
The warm touch of soft lips landed on his.
His pupils instantly contracted.
His mind went blank with nervousness.
Chen Liuyue's voice held a trace of huskiness and magnetism.
"Open your mouth."
Wei Miao subconsciously obeyed, parting his lips slightly.
That faint lily-of-the-valley fragrance grew richer.
The young woman's presence washed over him.
It started with clumsy nibbling.
Then, like a diligent student following the lead of Teacher Liuyue.
He gradually began to reciprocate and even take the initiative.
The hand he had placed on Chen Liuyue's waist also tightened slightly, pulling her body closer to his.
His heart began to beat wildly.
So this is what it feels like to kiss someone you like.
It's never enough.
He was starting to crave more.
Even as he felt the oxygen growing thinner between kisses, he still didn't want to let go.
He was afraid that if he let go, that little liar, Little Moon, would change her mind.
However, noticing Chen Liuyue's little black leather shoes lifting, ready to step on him, he released his embrace a step ahead.
Chen Liuyue then gasped for breath in great relief.
When she looked up again, her cheeks were flushed a deep pink, her almond eyes tinged with red as she said with a mix of shyness and annoyance:
"You should at least let me catch my breath. Don't you know kissing like that can make someone suffocate to death?"
"I don't want to die a lovers' death with you."
Wei Miao was as flustered and awkward as a schoolboy.
"I... I didn't know."
Chen Liuyue's expression changed subtly.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly as she couldn't help but guess:
"No way, no way, Brother Wei, you haven't kissed anyone before?"
"Was that your first kiss?"
Wei Miao turned his head away uncomfortably, his voice tinged with a lack of confidence.
"H-how could that be."
"I've always been the school heartthrob, so many girls chased after me, how could I possibly..."
He really hadn't dated anyone before, nor had he kissed anyone.
He used to think dating was too mushy and a hindrance to his career.
He wouldn't do anything that hindered his career.
But now he thought.
How pretentious he was before!!!
Dating and kissing are clearly things that make you secrete dopamine like crazy, things that are happy and joyful.
Especially when your girlfriend is his Little Moon.
No matter how you look at it, she's utterly precious.
Chen Liuyue nodded seriously and said,
"Oh, that's what I thought."
"Since it wasn't your first kiss, and this wasn't mine either, then neither of us is at a disadvantage."
The joyful expression on Wei Miao's face gradually faded.
A flash of displeasure crossed his long, narrow phoenix eyes.
Pursing his lips, he asked, "Who was your first kiss with?"
Chen Liuyue: "Brother-in-law."
Wei Miao gritted his teeth: "That wild man, Qin Xuanye!"
Chen Liuyue tilted her head slightly, smiling vividly.
"He was my ex-boyfriend, after all. He doesn't really count as a wild man."
"Then what about me?" Wei Miao, after being kissed, felt anxious and uneasy, desperately wanting to secure a title.
Chen Liuyue was like a scumbag who sleeps with someone and then runs away.
She smiled sweetly.
But her words were piercing.
"You're Brother Wei."
A flicker of disappointment swiftly passed through Wei Miao's eyes.
Lifting his head again, his gaze was firm as he said:
"But I don't want to be your brother."
"I want to be your boyfriend."
