A good night's sleep
After getting up in the morning, Xie Zhuzhou practiced a set of boxing techniques in his room until he broke a sweat, then took a shower before leaving the room.
After all, he also has someone he likes. He can't continue to be that carefree and irresponsible persona. He can maintain his bully persona, but in front of Chu Yanzhang, he must be a refined, handsome, mature, and steady gentleman.
Xie Zhuzhou dislikes procrastination; once he wants something, he'll work hard to get it, and if he can't get it... he'll just steal it!
After getting everything sorted out, he felt refreshed.
The maids didn't wake the young master today, but he got up on his own!
Is this some kind of epic horror story?
Could it be that the young master is possessed by something?!
Since the maids weren't allowed to chat during work hours, they started exchanging glances. The maids, who were always very perceptive and sensitive, deduced in just a few seconds that the young master must have awakened and finally had the idea of competing with his brothers for the family fortune!
See? This is the bloodline of the Ji Family, something every man in the Ji Family must go through!
They knew the young master wouldn't give up! He must have been planning ahead, intending to make a decision before acting!
Xie Zhuzhou: "?"
Xie Zhuzhou was dressed neatly and handsomely. He was usually cool and dazzling, but now he was just dark and cold.
There's not much he can change, since his persona has already been established. Whether it's at school or just bystanders, people are starting to avoid looking at him or talking to him. Except for a very few people from the elite circles who insist on coming to him, everything is fine.
Everything is developing in the direction he has worked so hard to achieve.
The surroundings were quiet and refreshing.
Seeing that Chu Yanzhang was also obediently waiting for him to have his meal today, he felt that life was really good.
Xie Zhuzhou slowly sat down, his elegant demeanor, calm face, and handsome features exuding an aura of royalty.
Ji Wangyun had already eaten half of her breakfast when her younger brother finally arrived late.
Seeing his brother's outfit and imposing presence, anyone who didn't know better would think he was attending some important event today.
"Little brother, are you... going to conquer the world today?"
Ji Wangyan felt that her younger brother seemed more pretentious than usual today, wearing an extra ring and earring, though his accessories were more understated and his clothes were slightly more somber.
He exudes a composed and noble air; thankfully, he didn't overdo it, or he would have looked like a street thug.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Second brother, can't you be normal for once? Little Yan is watching from the side!
At the dining table, Chu Yanzhang sat next to Xie Zhuzhou, a little nervous, but he skillfully peeled eggs for Xie Zhuzhou. Xie Zhuzhou tried to remain calm, recalling the last time Chu Yanzhang had made him "angry" and "deceived" him, but thankfully he hadn't pursued the matter further.
Fortunately, he left himself an out and didn't say anything harsh or critical, otherwise he would have been making things difficult for himself!
Of course, he thought that if the two of them liked each other, they should get engaged first.
After all, Little Yan is still young, so he can wait a little longer.
Xie Zhuzhou liked the protagonists in storybooks who were devoted to one person for life.
Therefore, he will never take a concubine in his life.
Therefore, if Chu Yanzhang follows him, he will absolutely not do anything to betray him.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly felt smug again. After all, ancient men like him were rare, so Chu Little Yan should just be secretly happy!
" Zhouzhou, eat an egg."
"I don't want it, you eat it."
Sitting opposite the two, Ji Wangyan immediately noticed that something was off. Chu Yanzhang's ears were slightly red, though not noticeably.
Therefore, he could deduce that Chu Yanzhang's feelings for his younger brother were shyness!
Shy?!
How could this be?!
Ji Wangyan's mind went blank. Suddenly, he realized something he hadn't understood before: Chu Yanzhang didn't admire his younger brother, but rather liked him!
The reason no one could see it before was probably because Chu Yanzhang used too much force!
How could one be so open and straightforward about liking someone? So at that time, they all thought it was admiration and respect. After all, men are creatures who admire strength, so it's normal for Chu Yanzhang to be a fan of someone like his little brother who is naturally strong and cool in fights.
Thinking of this, Ji Wangyan breathed a sigh of relief. He decided not to alert Chu Yanzhang and would nip any potential problems in the bud once Chu Yanzhang made a move to confess his feelings. He was glad that his younger brother didn't like Chu Yanzhang, so there was still room for maneuver.
Divine Sea is now a key partner of the state, and its resources are so abundant that they are the envy of many.
The technological innovations brought by the Divine Sea are in line with the country's future development trend. Today, its scale is growing day by day, like a dragon about to transform into a dragon, with a promising future.
If Chu Yanzhang, the person in charge of the Divine Sea, really takes a liking to his younger brother, it would certainly be good for the family company. However, it also means that the younger brother cannot be unfaithful in the future and cannot be a playboy who lingers among women.
Chu Yanzhang's methods are no gentler than his elder brother Ji Wangchen's. When faced with a powerful opponent, Divine Sea is ruthless and decisive, leaving no room for the opponent to maneuver.
This suggests that Chu Yanzhang is far from being as naive as he appears.
Only his younger brother would think that Chu Yanzhang was naive...
Suddenly feeling his own lifeline being gripped in his younger brother's hand, Ji Wangyan's eyes changed. He had to destroy this unfinished edifice of love.
After all, in wealthy circles, there are countless examples of couples who, after falling in love, cause chaos and even ruin in their families.
The Ji Family did not want to take on such a challenge, nor did they want their younger brother to be bound by it.
From his perspective, it's normal for his younger brother to be a bit of a womanizer, since he hadn't received much love from his family and parents before, so it's understandable that he would seek emotional support elsewhere.
Also, he can't let anyone else know about this.
Father is so pleased with Chu Yanzhang that he will definitely agree to Chu Yanzhang and his younger brother being together.
The eldest brother would not agree, but he would occasionally listen to his father and prioritize his own interests.
Second Brother is a naive fool. Even if he discovers that Chu Yanzhang and his younger brother are together, he might still be turned against them in the end! Because Second Brother is a person without any principles!
No one knew that Ji Wangyan, who appeared expressionless, was experiencing a turbulent internal conflict, her mindset was undergoing a complete upheaval, and she suddenly felt immense pressure, as if she were bearing the entire weight of the family.
"Third Brother, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat, or you'll be late for work."
Ji Wangyan: "..." Forget it, all my concern was wasted. His younger brother is a master at exploiting his older brother!
Xie Zhuzhou was taken to school by Chu Yanzhang today. He thought a lot on the way, but didn't know what to talk about with Little Yan! Fortunately, Little Yan is a sensible child and can even answer his own questions.
He searched online for many sweet nothings he wanted to say to Little Yan, but would it be too abrupt now?
