Come again?

"Butler! Help me keep an eye on Eldest Sister. If she comes, tell me in advance."

Zhuang Ruoxin's slender fingertips lightly touched the Bluetooth earpiece by her ear. It was rare for her to tease Zhuang Xin, so she definitely couldn't be disturbed!

Although she had provided the largest seed funding at the charity gala, it didn't mean she truly accepted Zhuang Xin. She simply didn't want this 'nominal brother' to embarrass the Zhuang family.

The butler, who was outside directing people to trim the flowers and plants, heard the voice in his ear and paused. He then glanced back at the gym, shook his head, and said nothing!

Just now, Zhuang Wanshu had asked him to arrange for someone to bring Zhuang Xin over. As an old fox, he didn't need to think to know the reason: it was definitely to have Zhuang Xin try to mend his relationship with Zhuang Ruoxin.

How could he mend his relationship with Zhuang Ruoxin? This woman had no other hobbies besides boxing. If he wanted to mend their relationship, the only way was to spar... and Zhuang Xin's fate was foreseeable.

"Forget it, I shouldn't meddle in the young ladies' affairs." The butler shook his head. He could inform Zhuang Ruoxin if Zhuang Wanshu came, but he would never stop her.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Ruoxin stood below the boxing ring, a captivating smile on her face.

She walked to the edge of the ring, pulled down the rope, and climbed in. Then, looking at the fully geared Zhuang Xin, she asked, "Ready?"

Zhuang Xin paused for a moment before hesitantly asking, "Are you really... going to fight like this?"

"What? You can't? Or are you scared?"

"No..." Zhuang Xin didn't want to say anything embarrassing to Zhuang Ruoxin, so he said tactfully, "I mean, aren't protective gear usually worn in formal matches?"

"Alright, alright!" Zhuang Ruoxin said impatiently, picking up a pair of boxing gloves nearby. "Put these on, is that okay? The gloves are enough to absorb some of the force."

"I..." Zhuang Xin opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing more.

Saying more would be futile.

Did he expect her to believe him if he said, "You can't beat me"?

Not only would Zhuang Ruoxin not believe him, but she would probably think Zhuang Xin was insulting her or making excuses out of cowardice.

Afterward, the two performed a boxer's salute. Zhuang Ruoxin stepped back, ready to attack.

Zhuang Xin didn't feel much. Seeing Zhuang Ruoxin's stance, he knew she had some skill. However, although her posture exuded fierceness, in his eyes, it was full of openings.

"Here I come!"

Zhuang Ruoxin didn't waste any more words. She didn't want Eldest Sister to come and ruin her fun!

Whoosh~

A gust of wind from her punch swept towards Zhuang Xin's nose.

Zhuang Xin watched the swift punch and merely tilted his head slightly, dodging the straight punch.

Missing her target, Zhuang Ruoxin was stunned.

With her speed just now, a normal person shouldn't have been able to dodge it.

"Have you trained?" Zhuang Ruoxin's expression darkened. She threw another punch, swish... her fist flashed past, aiming straight for Zhuang Xin's abdomen.

Zhuang Xin recoiled and swept out a roundhouse kick.

Crack~

Zhuang Ruoxin was hit in the waist by the kick, letting out a muffled groan. Her eyes widened, and she suddenly found it hard to breathe.

"Are... are you okay?" Zhuang Xin asked, a little worried. He had tried his best to control his strength, but it seemed he had still used too much.

"I... I'm fine, of course. J-just kidding." Zhuang Ruoxin's face was contorted in pain, but she forced herself to stand upright. However, the pain was too intense, causing her body to lean slightly to the left.

"How about we go to the medical room?"

"To the medical room? No, no need."

The thought of being sent to the medical room by Zhuang Xin's roundhouse kick made her cringe. If word got out, how could she, the 'older sister', show her face? Especially since she always boasted about being a boxing prodigy and had always bullied her younger sisters in the family.

If this got out, wouldn't she be laughed to death?

"Then, shall we continue?" Zhuang Xin asked uncertainly.

Continue?

Zhuang Ruoxin almost wanted to curse when she heard those two words. She was like this, and he still wanted to continue? Was he here to mend their relationship? He was here to make enemies!

But could she refuse?

She was the one who suggested sparring.

"Of... of course, we can continue." Zhuang Ruoxin forced a smile and got into her stance. This was her last bit of pride.

Zhuang Xin hesitated for a moment before also getting into a ready stance, waiting for Zhuang Ruoxin to attack.

However, Zhuang Ruoxin stood there like a wooden post, unmoving.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xin thought, Oh, she's improved.

She's learned strategy now?

But any strategy was useless in his eyes.

The gap between them was too vast.

However, this was no strategy at all; Zhuang Ruoxin was simply in too much pain to move and too proud to admit it.

"Sister Ruoxin, if you won't come, I will!"

Zhuang Xin didn't hold back, and Zhuang Ruoxin shouldn't have been completely incapacitated by a single whip kick, right? After all, she had been training boxing for so long.

The result...

Three seconds later, Zhuang Ruoxin was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

Zhuang Xin fell silent.

He suddenly realized that what Zhuang Ruoxin had used just now wasn't some strategy, but rather that she simply couldn't move.

"If you have any conscience at all, help me to the medical room now, and then notify the hospital to call an ambulance," Zhuang Ruoxin said weakly from the ground.

Zhuang Xin looked a bit embarrassed but could only helplessly bend down, pick up Zhuang Ruoxin, and run towards the medical room.

Zhuang Ruoxin's body went limp, and she leaned against Zhuang Xin's chest.

She was shocked to discover that this guy's muscles were as hard as iron blocks, hurting her head. Was this the muscle of an ordinary person?

Didn't the information say he hadn't practiced martial arts?

And from all the information, from any angle, this guy seemed completely ordinary.

Sometimes he couldn't even afford a sesame seed cake, and he even lost his job. When he was out of money, he could only borrow a few dozen yuan from friends to eat.

A person like this, with such muscles, could easily take her down?

However, she didn't want to ask about these things anymore.

She didn't have the strength to ask.

She could only lean limply against Zhuang Xin, being carried in a princess carry, as he ran outside.

After running for a while, Zhuang Xin stopped and asked hesitantly, "Uh, Sister Ruoxin, where's the medical room?"

"To the left, at the end..." Zhuang Ruoxin roared with all her might. You idiot, why did you run around for so long without knowing? Couldn't you have just asked me directly?

She even suspected if Zhuang Xin was doing it on purpose. But lying against Zhuang Xin's firm chest, she inexplicably felt a sense of security.

She had been a strong woman her whole life. Because she was too outstanding, many people pursued her.

But they all had the desire but not the courage.

She was still an old maid, never having been held like this before.

"What am I thinking? He's my brother..." Zhuang Ruoxin rubbed her temples, stopping her wild thoughts.

Besides, even if this guy knew some boxing, he was still ordinary.

For her to fully accept him, he needed to at least achieve something to show her.

As for Zhuang Xin, he was sweating profusely with anxiety. He ran in the direction Zhuang Ruoxin pointed for a long time but still couldn't see the medical room.

He thought he had taken the wrong path. Just as he was about to ask again, he finally saw it... a sign labeled "Medical Room" and a three-story building.
