But…
After they left the clubhouse, Xuxu asked, "Yan Rusheng, why didn't you ask him to call you Brother instead of Brother-in-Law?"
"Are you seriously dumb or just pretending to be?" Yan Rusheng frowned as he gazed at the tiny woman beside him . "If he addressed you as Sister, shouldn't I be Brother-in-Law?"
Momentarily stunned by his answer, Xuxu lowered her head . She replied softly with an "Oh . "
So this was why her heart was starting to soften against her will .
She didn't want to guess the motive behind his strange behavior these past few days; why was he repeatedly trying to tear down her defenses against him?

Her heart had undergone all kinds of heartbreak and suffering . She felt that she was almost indestructible now . And even though she'd been badly hurt by him before, didn't she manage to recover?
So what do I have to fear? Why should I guard against him?
She managed to enlighten herself once more that night, and her spirits were lifted .
"I'm hungry . "
She rubbed her belly, peering at Yan Rusheng with her sparkling eyes .
Yan Rusheng thought that the stars in the sky couldn't compare to her brilliantly twinkling eyes . And his mood lifted when he heard her talking so sweetly to him .

He reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her towards him .
Then he lowered his head to give her a light kiss on her forehead . He chided her affectionately, "Serves you right for skipping dinner to chat with a boy . "
Xuxu was astonished by his sudden actions . Incredibly, he was behaving so intimately with her in a public place .
In the past, he used to say that those who publicly display their affections by hugging or kissing their lovers were childish pieces of scum who were a disgrace to society . Their actions also brought shame to themselves .
So could she now label him as a childish piece of scum who brought disgrace to society as well?
"Childish scum who disgraces society . " Just as Xuxu thought the words, she ended up blurting out . Then she continued indignantly, "I was being generous enough to give you some private time with your beloved . "
Yan Rusheng glared at her coldly . "You're not me, so how do you know who my true love is?"
Then he mulled over her previous sentence . "Childish scum who disgraces society?"
Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
Xuxu instantly changed the topic to prevent him from remembering it . "Sigh, I'm so famished right now . How I wish I could eat the fried vermicelli at that stall next to Yizhong! I wonder if it's still open?"
Her words had successfully distracted Young Master Yan's attention, and he let go of her waist . He grabbed her hand instead . "Let's find out . "
Xuxu really admired her ability to find ways out of impossible situations . Even if there was a possibility of a greater danger lurking behind that door, at least it meant a brand new beginning, and it was better than being confined to the same spot .
A tall figure watched Xuxu and Yan Rusheng as they left through the doors . Her forlorn-looking eyes were filled with sorrow .
Fang Jiayin, you knew this would happen, right?
…
The car entered a back alley at Yizhong . A few stalls were still open, but there was a stall that was preparing to end its business for the day . A lady in her mid-fifties wearing a dark red shirt and an apron was shifting a carton of milk .
Xuxu recognized the old lady and nudged Yan Rusheng excitedly . She pointed at her . "Look! Isn't that our old English teacher's wife?"
This entire stretch of shops was operated by the families of the Yizhong's teachers .
Yan Rusheng glanced at the lady and said lightly, "Yeah, I see her . There's no need to be so excited . "
