Watching his smiling sister-in-law, Candy's eyes shifted, and she stopped pressing the issue.
Candy had not even asked Zero about it in front of her sister-in-law. Zero's age and appearance were far too deceptive.
Most people would instinctively take her for a middle school student. Yet beneath that youthful appearance lay mature wisdom completely out of keeping with her looks and age.
When something was abnormal, there was bound to be something strange behind it. Candy would never believe that her sister-in-law had moved her workstation next to her brother's for no reason.
Candy had also observed Xia Xiaomin, trying to glean some useful information from Older Sister Xiao Xia's eyes. However, the result left her disappointed. Older Sister Xiao Xia's gaze toward her sister-in-law was far too ordinary, with none of the scenes one saw in palace-intrigue dramas.
Come to think of it, Older Sister Xiao Xia clearly had someone already.
More importantly, her brother had never liked Older Sister Xiao Xia. How could she tell? If he had liked her, he would have won her over long ago. There would have been no room for her sister-in-law. After all, ever since Older Sister Xiao Xia had moved from the company to Huo County, she had stayed by her brother's side. Her sister-in-law, on the other hand, had arrived later yet surpassed her.
Her brother was usually busy with serious work in the laboratory. Candy did not want to run over and disturb him. If she happened to interfere at the most critical moment of an experiment and caused it to fail, she would surely have to endure a round of her brother's dirty looks.
She casually broke off a banana and sat down on the sofa,
then leisurely began eating it.
Her other hand was not idle either.
