The pampered young heiress folded her arms and lifted her chin, giving Wen Youci a perfunctory tour of the house.
"This is the kitchen. The maids are the only ones who usually use it. Of course, if you need to, you can..."
Her voice suddenly trailed off.
Wen Youci looked up in confusion and saw the heiress abandon her earlier arrogance. Smiling from ear to ear, she hurried toward the man at the front of the room.
"Aheng!"
The heiress looped her arm through his, her manner soft and coquettish. "Let me introduce you. This is Xiaoci, the girl Grandpa told you about."
Afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing the tall, broad-shouldered man in light and shadow. His features were strikingly defined. Holding a glass, he looked every bit the refined gentleman as he glanced her way, seemingly without a care.
For some reason, Wen Youci felt nervous and blurted out, "Hello, brother-in-law!"
-
[He isn't her brother-in-law, but he doesn't mind her calling him that.]
Dusk fell. Step by step, Wen Youci backed toward the cold wall, her heart pounding like a drum.
The man stood shrouded in darkness, his gaze more intense than the sunlight of their first meeting.
"Mr. Yan, please behave yourself."
The girl's bravado looked both pitiful and adorable to him.
He chuckled as he watched her blush. "Why did you stop calling me brother-in-law, hmm?"
#You have no idea how badly your warmth burns me
Brother-in-law x younger sister-in-law (?)
Delicate little white flower x powerful man closing in step by step
1. Both are virgins. I don't think this really counts as coercive love, but don't expect the male lead to have much of a moral compass. He's got a few screws loose.
2. An utterly brainless Mary Sue sweet romance!!!
3. The leads aren't related by blood in any way.
