He Seemed to Have Learned Another Astonishing Secret

Xu Yanche didn't want to look at the Xu family's hypocritical faces, so he planned to head into the recording studio and hang out with his friends.

After learning where Xu Yanche was going, He Jing dug out a notebook, bowed at a perfect ninety-degree angle, and handed it to him. Her tone was sincere, with a hint of pleading. "Brother, when you go, could you ask them to sign this for me? I want personalized signatures. I've pasted photos of my favorite voice actors in here. They can just sign in the blank spaces."

Xu Yanche: "..."

[Th-this little sister is so weird. Why can't she just say what she wants? She scared me into thinking she was about to kneel down and beg me.]

He Yumo and Jiang Qian, who were sitting on the sofa, fell silent.

Xu Yanche took the notebook and flipped through it. Good grief, it had pictures of every voice actor in the industry with a nice voice and decent professional skills.

He Jing eagerly stepped forward and opened it to the first page. It was a photo of Xu Yanche.

He Jing smiled ingratiatingly. "Hehehe, Brother, look at your place in my heart. You're one of a kind, ranked number one~"

Xu Yanche was clearly pleased with what He Jing said. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry. I'll catch them in the studio today and make them sign. Even if I have to hold them down, I'll get them to sign for you."

[This little sister is pretty great. Heh heh, I'll make sure each of them writes at least ten words of blessings for her.]

Zero Zero helpfully reminded him, [Host, don't forget to go to the police station at two this afternoon. We've got big things to do.]

Xu Yanche changed his shoes, put on his cool sunglasses, and got ready to leave. [I know, I know.]

"Mom, Dad, Sis, I'm heading out. Don't miss me too much. I'll bring you some tofu pudding when I come back tonight."

He Jing immediately seized the opportunity. "Brother, I also want grilled lamb skewers."

Xu Yanche was in a good mood, so he agreed. "No problem."

Xu Yanche had originally said he'd have the driver take him, but He Qing said there was no need—he'd drive him himself.

He Qing went to get the car.

Xu Yanche had nothing to do while he waited.

He crouched by the roadside, playing Snake Battle.

He'd only been playing for a little while when someone held out a business card to him. He looked up in confusion.

He saw a man in a gray suit, smiling as he offered him the card.

"Young man, are you here to meet someone? If you're willing, why don't we exchange contact information? I'd like to be friends with you."

The man looked decent enough, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, but he had the air of someone with weak kidneys.

What was interesting was that he was Xu Yanche's full brother.

Xu Yanche raised an eyebrow slightly.

[Looks like Xu Teng doesn't recognize me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come over to hit on me.]

[I wonder how Xu Teng will react when he finds out who I am. It'll be priceless.]

Xu Teng looked at the pretty young man in front of him as he gazed up at him, and figured he had a chance.

"Young man, do you have a boyfriend? If not, would you consider me?"

Zero Zero caught the scent of gossip and pressed against the window to watch.

Under Xu Teng's gaze, Xu Yanche slowly put away his phone, stood up, and dusted off his clothes.

[What was this guy thinking, wearing such a thick suit in this heat? The Xu family really is beyond saving. I'm crouching right outside the He family's front gate, and he's still blind? Anyone with half a brain would know I'm part of the He family.]

[Li Xingruo and Xu Lingye both learned who I was a year ago. And after all the trouble this time, Xu Teng still doesn't recognize me. That just proves I'm nothing important in the eyes of the Xu family.]

Xu Yanche saw He Qing pull up in the car, hurried over, and knocked on the driver's-side window.

He Qing obligingly rolled it down.

Xu Yanche kissed He Qing on the cheek, speaking loudly enough for Xu Teng, ten meters away, to hear. "Honey, what took you so long? Someone was hitting on me just now. Do you know him? That guy over there."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Teng.

He Qing looked at Xu Teng coldly.

His gaze carried an invisible pressure.

"I don't know him. Yanyan, get in. Didn't you say you were going to see your friends?"

Xu Yanche pretended to scold him. "Fine~ Oh, I told you there was no need to drive me, but you insisted. What if you're late for work?"

[Hahahaha, Xu Teng's face looks like he just ate shit. Hahahaha, hitting on your own little brother—now that's something else.]

[Hahahaha, Xu Teng probably never imagined that the person he was hitting on was the same one he'd cursed out last night. Hahaha. But Qingqing Darling is so cute, playing along with me like this.]

He Qing: "You're the most important. I'll take you to the supermarket to buy some snacks later."

After Xu Yanche got in, He Qing leaned over and fastened his seat belt for him.

Before driving off, he kissed Xu Yanche on the lips.

Xu Yanche: "!"

[When did Qingqing Darling get so forward? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like doing it a few times has made him bolder.]

Hearing Xu Yanche's inner thoughts, the tips of He Qing's ears turned red.

His little wife really was so open and bold.

As they drove past Xu Teng,

Xu Yanche glanced over and saw Xu Teng watching him with a somewhat dark look.

As if he wanted to strangle him.

Xu Yanche boldly raised his middle finger at him.

[You piece of shit, how dare you glare at your grandpa? If I see you again, I'll put a sack over your head and beat you up.]

[A man who can't last three minutes in bed, and he dares to try to intimidate me with a look? You're dead, you one-minute man.]

He Qing: "..." He seemed to have learned another astonishing secret.

He Qing: Good thing I'm...

He Qing first drove to the supermarket and bought Xu Yanche a huge pile of snacks, putting them on the back seat. "Share them with your friends when you get there. What time do you think you'll be home? I'll come pick you up."

Xu Yanche unscrewed a big bottle of AD Calcium and took a blissful gulp.

"No, no, I can get home by myself."

[I've got big things to do. I can't let too many people know.]

He Qing: "..." Lots of people already know. You really don't need to worry about that.

After dropping Xu Yanche off and watching him go inside, He Qing took out his phone and messaged his parents.

In the He family group chat.

He Qing: Has Xu Teng left?

I Just Want Some Peace: No! That man has skin thicker than the corner of a city wall. Mom and Dad have tactfully turned him down over and over, but he still won't take the hint. What a jerk.

He Qing: No swearing. And you still have time to play on your phone? Have you memorized your notes? Finished your practice problems? Don't you have a conscience?

I Just Want Some Peace: ...

Jiang Qian: Not yet. Xu Teng keeps hinting that he hopes we'll agree to let Xu Corporation into the South District project.

He Yumo: I'm going to leak some information and drive Xu Corporation into bankruptcy.

He Qing: Tell him to get lost. He's hitting on people without even sparing his own little brother.

He Jing exploded and charged straight out of the study.

"Fuck you! How dare you seduce my little sister-in-law? Do you have any sense of decency?"

He Jing grabbed a rolling pin from the kitchen—it was solid iron—and swung it at Xu Teng's back.

Xu Teng was so frightened that he hurried outside. He ran for his life, but the rolling pin still struck him in the back, making him grimace in pain.

He wanted to lash out.

But when he saw the iron rolling pin in He Jing's hand, then looked at the unfriendly expressions on He Yumo and Jiang Qian's faces, he was so scared that he could only leave in a hurry.
