Ruan Cheng x Jiang Shiqu

Sweet and innocent girl x charming, flirtatious young gentleman

Ever since his student days, Jiang Shiqu had been a famous figure in the circle of young gentlemen in the Imperial City. With his flirtatious eyes and careless smile, he'd raise his wineglass with a crisp clink, crush one peach blossom after another, and leave without a petal clinging to him.

Ruan Jinghe was used to his ways. As his friend, he didn't care what Jiang Shiqu did. But as a doting brother, Jiang Shiqu was entirely beyond the acceptable line for a potential brother-in-law.

"Jiang Shiqu, you aren't harboring improper thoughts about our precious little sister, are you?"

The man in the back seat glanced up at the rearview mirror, then kicked the driver's seat.

"Who the hell's a sister-obsessed freak like you?"

Later, one day, Jiang Shiqu was caught successfully asking for a goodnight kiss...

"Jiang Shiqu, you bastard! Get over here!"

"Brother, don't get worked up." Jiang Shiqu, completely unaware of the problem, put an arm around Ruan Cheng's waist.

And he still dares to call me brother! Ruan Jinghe pulled his sister over and raised his fists.

Ruan Cheng had never met anyone like him before.

He was nothing like the obedient, well-behaved people everyone had taught her to be. Little by little, he shattered her composure.

"B-Brother, are we sure this is okay?" Her soft, gentle voice trembled with nervousness as she whispered in his ear.

"Hm? But I like you, little sister."

Ruan Cheng watched the woman across the dinner table visibly sour and walk out in a huff, while the man beside her calmly speared a leaf of salad with his fork.

"Want some?"
