Facts Speak Louder Than Words, and the Sisters-in-Law Aren't Here, Right?

Under Jiang Ruoxue's delighted gaze, Jiang Cheng squatted down...

Beside her, Li Shiyao pouted in dissatisfaction.

This is outrageous!

If the senior student was secretly having sex with her brother behind her back, that would be one thing, but to openly show it off in front of her was another.

She felt a pang of envy; she longed to be treated so gently by her brother.

"Alright, you guys should get some rest."

After applying the medicine, Jiang Cheng gave a brief instruction and returned to his room.

The two women were left staring at each other, and a battle without gunpowder began.

"Sister Ruoxue, you... you've gone too far."

Li Shiyao clenched her little fists angrily, her clear eyes wide open.

Hey~ this little girl!

She almost ruined her big plan, and she still dares to be so self-righteous. Does she really think she's made of clay?

Jiang Ruoxue raised an eyebrow, unwilling to admit defeat,

"Little girl, I haven't even held what happened earlier against you, and you're already turning the tables on me."

"I'm not a little girl!"

Li Shiyao retorted like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Jiang Ruoxue sat up straight, proudly puffing out her high, firm chest.

"Facts speak louder than words. In my eyes, aren't you just a little girl?"

Whew~

Li Shiyao glanced down, her pretty face turning bright red with anger.

But he couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he could only sit aside and sulk.

Her eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxue sighed.

"Okay, okay, I misspoke. You're not a little girl, alright?"

"Really?"

Jiang Ruoxue coughed lightly, feeling a pang of pity, and said...

"Of course it's true, it's not the best, but it's not the worst either~"

Li Shiyao: (????? )

That sounds a bit strange.

It feels like rubbing salt into a wound.

"Sister Ruoxue, where did you and your brother go? How did you sprain your ankle...?"

Li Shiyao poured out all her doubts in one breath.

Jiang Ruoxue's expression stiffened slightly, her mind racing.

If she says she went to have a candlelight dinner with Jiang Cheng, this little girl will probably be hit with another blow.

Forget it, let's make up a white lie.

This girl looks a bit dim-witted and silly; she probably won't notice.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoxue parted her red lips slightly and began to speak eloquently.

His serious and earnest demeanor completely stunned Li Shiyao.

"Shiyao, my mouth is a little dry."

Jiang Ruoxue pursed her lips.

"Oh, oh."

Li Shiyao quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Ruoxue, while fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

"Sister Ruoxue, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you..."

"It's okay, a good child is one who knows their mistakes and can correct them."

Jiang Ruoxue cleared her throat and waved her hand magnanimously.

Hehe~ This girl is so innocent!

Although she felt a little guilty, she meant well.

At worst, she can help this silly girl after she wins over Jiang Cheng.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room."

"Sister Ruoxue, let me help you."

The next morning

By the time Jiang Cheng got dressed and came downstairs, Li Shiyao had already prepared breakfast.

Upon seeing Jiang Cheng, Li Shiyao's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

"Brother, dinner's ready."

"Shiyao, you can sleep in a little longer from now on. Just leave breakfast to the maids at home."

Jiang Cheng said with a sense of helplessness.

Li Shiyao's eyelids drooped, her face filled with disappointment.

"Does my brother think the breakfast I make doesn't suit his taste? I won't make it anymore."

Forehead...

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched. Why did this girl always misinterpret his meaning?

He sighed.

"I'm worried that you won't get enough rest and won't be energetic in class."

Upon hearing this, Li Shiyao shook her head vigorously, waving her hand.

"No, I like to cook for my brother."

Why am I feeling a little touched?

Jiang Cheng was taken aback, then stepped forward and gently patted Li Shiyao's head.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Just then, Jiang Ruoxue's sigh came from upstairs.

"Huh~ Is it really that sentimental so early in the morning?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head and watched Jiang Ruoxue come downstairs. He frowned.

"Is your foot better now? You can start walking around."

"You care about me so much?"

Jiang Ruoxue stared at Jiang Cheng with a smile.

Cough cough~

Jiang Cheng coughed awkwardly twice, then looked away and said...

"I'm afraid you'll become a cripple, and then Aunt Jiang will come after me."

Tch, so stubborn.

She clearly cares about him, but she stubbornly refuses to admit it.

A good mood for the day starts with Jiang Cheng's words...

Jiang Ruoxue's lips curled up, and she gave a soft hum.

"If I become lame, I'll be stuck with you for the rest of my life, and you can forget about getting rid of me."

Jiang Cheng's eyelids twitched; he was completely helpless against a shameless woman like Jiang Ruoxue.

At this moment, Li Shiyao, who was standing nearby, asked with concern,

"Sister Ruoxue, are you really alright?"

"Don't worry, am I that dramatic? I'm fine now."

As she spoke, Jiang Ruoxue glanced at Jiang Cheng.

The three of them were having breakfast when Jiang Cheng's phone rang.

I turned on the speakerphone, and a loud voice immediately came through.

"Brother Cheng, are you back from Lingnan?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Ming spoke casually.

"How did you know I went to Lingnan?"

"Of course, my two sisters-in-law told me."

Lu Ming spoke with indignation,

"Brother Cheng, you're so unfair! You went out to play without inviting me. Do you know how bored I've been lately?"

How boring. Does this have anything to do with you?

Jiang Cheng was too lazy to expose Lu Ming.

Wait, what did this kid just say? Did his two wives tell him?

Jiang Cheng glanced up at the two women with strange expressions and instantly understood. He quickly warned them.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, you know?"

"You need to change your habit of calling everyone 'sister-in-law'!"

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Jiang Ruoxue, who had been basking in the joy of being called "sister-in-law," instantly became displeased.

What's there to change?!

She thought Lu Ming was much better; he had a better eye for talent.

"Alright, stop beating around the bush, just say what you want to say."

Jiang Cheng interrupted Lu Ming's initial hesitation and went straight to the point.

"Brother Cheng, you really understand me. My dad's health has been much better lately, and I was planning to come and thank you in person."

Lu Ming chuckled and flattered him,

"But I know that you, Brother Cheng, have always been unrestrained and unconventional, a bit of a flirt... I mean, dashing and debonair."

"I was definitely not used to it, so I took on this difficult task."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, then what?"

Cough cough~

Lu Ming chuckled dryly, then lowered his voice and spoke furtively.

"Brother Cheng, are your wives not here?"

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched; he already knew that Lu Ming was definitely up to no good.

Just as he was about to remind him, he looked up and met the meaningful gazes of Jiang Ruoxue and the other woman.

"Ahem~ Not here."

Jiang Cheng covered his mouth and coughed twice.

Now we can only hope that this silly boy is smart enough to understand what he means.

However... things don't always go as planned...
