"Oh. The siblings reunited. What a touching view." Xu Qin Rui came in time to see them hugging.

  Beneath his glasses, his eyes can't be any darker. His high-profile appearance made the customers look at them. They immediately recognized Xu Qin Rui and Lou Fenbing. Xu Qin Rui is a successful multi-millionaire businessman and he always gets in front of magazine covers. Lou Fenbing is no less famous too. He is a director of a prestigious private hospital, and he has cured a lot of well-known actors and people with authority. With Hong Cha among them, this made the onlookers think they were fighting over her.

  "Executive Xu, I'm taking her back. She doesn't need your support." Lou Fenbing placed Hong Cha behind him. His other hand reached into his trenchcoat.

  Samuel, who is behind Xu Qin Rui, had noticed this. He vigilantly reached for the gun he hid as well.

  "Brother, don't." Hong Cha shook his arm. If he takes a weapon out, this will attract the police and find a reason to investigate him deeper. Lou Fenbing was infamous in the underworld but outside, he is a young director.

  "Lou Fenbing, why are you rushing to take her away? Xiao Cha, come here." He reached his hand forward when Lou Fenbing aimed a gun at him. Samuel reacted quickly and did the same. Both sides are on a stillness while the coffee shop goes into chaos.

  "Don't call any security." Samuel pointed another gun at the staff. They froze in place and nodded their heads.

  "Xiao Cha, are you trying to rebel?" Xu Qin Rui smiled coldly with his grim eyes as if they belonged to death.

  Hong Cha trembled to feel the male lead's halo affecting her. She looked up to Lou Fenbing who gave her a threatening glance. Still, she has no choice.

  "Brother, I'll be fine." She lightly smiled and held his hand to lower the gun he was holding. Hong Cha can see his reluctance. He must be afraid they have provoked Xu Qin Rui and she has to face his anger.

  "Fenfen..." He tried to reach for her hand but Hong Cha purposely evaded him.

  She no longer looked back and stayed next to Xu Qin Rui. Lou Fenbing recalled a certain night. That was a chaotic day. Bullets flying everywhere. His little sister cried for his help as she was left inside the house. He tried to go back but someone pulled him in a car. Lou Fenbing failed to see her again after that night.

  "Don't touch me." Hong Cha slapped Xu Qin Rui's hand that was on top of her leg. She inched far from him and looked outside the window.

  The chauffeur coughed lightly to see the ambiguity between the two.

  "You have no choice." He grabbed her arm and dragged her to his side. Xu Qin Rui forcefully gripped her chin to meet her fierce gaze. His eyes dilated for a bit before turning calm. "You're quite close to other men when you always push me away. What's the matter? Am I not good enough?"

  "He's my brother, psycho!" Hong Cha snorted. She looked away as Xu Qin Rui pulled her closer to him. This time, his hold on her chin was gentle. He leaned closer to her ear to whisper.

  "Has it ever occurred to you why he kept leaving you since you were fifteen?" he asked temptingly.

  "He's busy with work. You know his real job." she turned to look at Xu Qin Rui. He tittered as if it was something ridiculous.

  "No, it's not. Lou Fenbing already knew you were not his real sister. And guess what? He developed sick feelings for you. That is why he kept avoiding you while at the same time, searching for the true Lou Fencha. Bai Zhang used you to substitute Lou Fenbing's lost sister to keep him calm." Xu Qin Rui has an informer in Shanlong. That is how he got this information and knew about Lou Fenbing's tactics.

  "I'm not...?" Hong Cha acted as if shocked.

  Well, she overlooked Lou Fencha's memories and saw some inklings. Lou Fencha is shy and submissive to Lou Fenbing. If she wasn't known as his sister, everyone would mistake her as his admirer. She does have feelings for Lou Fenbing in a different way. But she kept it since she thought they were really siblings.

  "There is no need to go back. He is no one other than your fake brother. But as for me, we have shared a fateful night already. You will not need him since I am more capable than Lou Fenbing." Xu Qin Rui didn't wait for her answer and caught her lips. He savored her taste for a moment when the car stopped. They already arrived back in the mansion.

  Hong Cha went out first in a terrible mood. Xu Qin Rui decided to leave her be for tonight. He can enjoy her once her mood is lifted. It will be even better since she will figure out which man is good for her. She can't possibly choose someone whom she sees as her older brother for so many years.

  A few days later, Hong Cha cooled down as he expected. She dived into the pool and enjoyed her relaxing time while Xu Qin Rui was not around. Hong Cha thought of being lazy this time. Let Xu Qin Rui and the female lead have some cat-and-mouse chase scenes in the office. She will make a move if he maltreats her like what happened to Lou Fencha. Hong Cha stepped out of the pool and returned to a divan. However, her towel was not there.

  "Having a good rest?" Xu Qin Rui draped her towel on her shoulder.

  She was stunned for a moment and stood still. He dried her hair with a touch of gentleness. Hong Cha raised a brow. Well, this unusual man finally became normal. This must be because the female lead was with him. She thought too early as he lowered the towel to her waist and squeezed her.
