In a private room at a certain private restaurant in the Imperial City, three exceptionally poised and charismatic men were lounging with their long legs crossed, sipping tea and chatting.
"Third, did you call Second Brother? When is he coming?" Gu Haoyu put down his teacup, glanced at his watch, and asked.
"I called when I came. Second Brother is shopping with his girlfriend. He’ll be here in a bit." Chen Yankun said, watching his brothers’ reactions.
Sure enough, Sun Wangbei spat out a mouthful of tea upon hearing this, his eyes wide enough to hold a chicken egg. "What? You said Second Brother is shopping? And with a girlfriend?"
Sun Wangbei felt like the world had gone ridiculous. He had just been abroad for a bit, and his cold, ascetic Second Brother had gotten a girlfriend and even went shopping with her. Could someone tell him what exactly had happened?
Gu Haoyu was also slightly taken aback by Chen Yankun’s words. Second Brother had a girlfriend? How come he’d never heard of this? Was it Ruonan? It shouldn’t be, right?
"Well, theoretically that’s the case." Chen Yankun said.
"What do you mean by theoretically?" Sun Wangbei was puzzled. Given Second Brother’s nature, if he could accompany her to shop, it was already a matter of principle.
"Second Brother introduced that girl to the family like that, but... Pfft..."
Remembering the scene in the car, Chen Yankun couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"But what? Hurry up and tell us." It was rare to hear gossip about Mu Xingfeng, so Sun Wangbei urged him on.
Chen Yankun couldn’t help but spill the beans about Mu Xingfeng, recounting the scenes from the hotel and the car to his brothers.
"Hahaha, are you saying... are you saying Second Brother didn’t go for it in that situation but sent the person to the hospital instead?" Sun Wangbei laughed uncontrollably, thinking Mu Xingfeng must have turned into a fool as a soldier, not taking the chance when it was right there.
"Alright, alright, we know this now, but you better not mention it in front of Second Brother, otherwise..." Chen Yankun made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but I’m really curious, what kind of woman could make Second Brother cherish her so much?" Sun Wangbei stroked his chin, eyes gleaming with interest.
Gu Haoyu held his teacup, staring at the amber liquid inside, with an unreadable glint in his eyes: Is it really cherishing?
Just as their conversation ended, the door to the private room opened from the outside, and Mu Xingfeng walked in with his long strides, accompanied by a petite young girl.
Sun Wangbei let out a loud cry upon seeing them, jumping up from his seat and running over, circling them while smacking his lips and pointing at An Ran. "Second Brother, is this... your sister?"
It was just that An Ran looked so young. She was actually only eighteen years old, but her appearance made her look even younger. Although Chen Yankun had already said Mu Xingfeng had a girlfriend earlier, he couldn’t bring himself to believe An Ran was his girlfriend.
Although Mu Xingfeng was tall and handsome, he was twenty-six after all. Moreover, as a military man, Mu Xingfeng was upright and honest, surely he wouldn’t date a minor, would he?
Mu Xingfeng looked at Sun Wangbei’s playful look, reached out to swat away his hand that was pointing at An Ran, pulled the little girl closer to himself by her shoulder, and said, "Call her sister-in-law."
Those three words nearly made Sun Wangbei kneel on the floor. "Sister-in-law? This little girl? Second Brother, you’re asking me, a company president, to call this little girl sister-in-law, isn’t that a bit too much?"
