My Little Brother Wants to Be More Than Just My Little Brother

At 29, Chen Mo lives by one rule: “Take life one step at a time.” Blind dates, marriage, children. Every milestone should be as clear and manageable as a spreadsheet.

That is, until her company sticks her with Lin Chen, a rebellious intern.

He shows up in designer streetwear and only works when he feels like it. He calls her proposal “old-fashioned,” yet secretly uses the business acumen he inherited from his influential family to help her perfect it.

Chen Mo is deeply touched. “He’s finally growing up. I’ll reward him with a bag of snacks.”

Lin Chen is so mad he wants to smash his phone. “I want to be your husband, not your son!”

What drives Lin Chen even crazier is that this older woman is either on a blind date or on her way to one.

She even consults him seriously, clutching her dating notes. “Who do you think is more reliable, a mama’s boy or a show-off who flaunts his wealth?”

At his wits’ end, Lin Chen starts sabotaging her dates left and right: pretending to be a delivery guy, paying a friend to flirt with her dates, anonymously sending their dirt to the authorities...

At last, Chen Mo snaps. “Stay out of my business!”

Lin Chen blurts out, “Because I like you! How can you not see that?”

Chen Mo is stunned. Her first reaction is, “Don’t joke around. I’m your older sister.”

But that night, she can’t sleep. The burning looks she had ignored, his inexplicable anger, his excessive concern: suddenly, they all take on a new meaning.

She realizes that a young man who was never part of the plan has somehow barged into the “stable life” she mapped out so carefully.

He’s young, bold, shameless, and five years younger than her.

“Big Sis, I want to be part of every step in your plans for the future.”

“You’re too young...”

“But my love isn’t small at all.”
