Sitting on the bed, Li Xuanyu stroked her slightly rounded belly and said to Candy in a wistful tone, "You're feeling guilty. Looks like your brother didn't hit you for no reason."
Candy raised an eyebrow and retorted, "I'm not."
"If you're not feeling guilty, then tell me what your brother said to you. Otherwise, why would he hit you out of nowhere?"
Looking at her sister-in-law's smiling face, Candy found every word caught in her throat.
She absolutely couldn't tell her sister-in-law about the alien civilization now. Otherwise, her brother would be furious, and Candy had no doubt about that.
Under the circumstances, the unborn baby was the most important person in the family.
If her sister-in-law found out about the aliens and spent all day worrying, unable to eat or sleep properly, her health would suffer.
After thinking it over for a long while, Candy turned all her resentment into a sigh.
"Ah..."
"I got beaten for nothing. Well, not exactly."
At least her brother was taking her out for barbecue tomorrow to make it up to her.
Watching Candy sigh and leave her bedroom without looking back, Li Xuanyu stared after her in surprise.
What kind of secret could make Candy swallow her anger rather than tell her?
Was she afraid Li Xuanyu would worry? Li Xuanyu shook her head. That didn't seem likely.
Back downstairs, Candy gave a soft snort and sat back on the sofa as if nothing had happened. Without a hint of politeness, she snatched the remote control from her brother's hand.
"Don't forget the barbecue tomorrow."
"You didn't tell your sister-in-law, did you?"
At that, Candy rolled her eyes. "Of course not."
"Good. I'll make it up to you tomorrow and take you for barbecue."
