“But… he’s my brother-in-law…” Mr. Qin replied in all seriousness, leaving Huo Mian at a loss for words.

“Brother-in-law, come here. I’ve got a present for you!” Zhixin shouted from the living room, giving Qin Chu a chance to run into the living room, away from his wife’s interrogation.

Zhixin took out a small square box from his suitcase. “This is for you.”

“Thank you.” Qin Chu took the present and slowly opened it.

Curious, Huo Mian moved up to see what it was, completely forgetting the fact that her husband withheld information from her.

A delicately-made lighter sat inside the box…

It was a New Zealand brand. Exquisitely made, it was silver and completely made of metal.

There was an image of a pair of angel wings on the lighter… with an English logo on the back.

“This is anti-wind, a lot of travelers camp with this. It’s very useful.”

“Is it waterproof?” Huo Mian interjected.

Zhixin was so furious that he flicked Huo Mian on the forehead. “Sis, are you having a stroke? How can lighters be waterproof?”

“Pshh… a lighter that isn’t waterproof isn’t a good lighter. I thought you got my husband something really cool. How uncreative of you.”

Zhixin touched his nose and placed his hand on his waist. With his other hand, he gestured at Huo Mian. “Miss Huo Mian, please give me back the bottle of perfume.”

“Haha, nope, nope, nope!”

Then, Zhixin and Huo Mian began chasing each other around in the spacious living room…

After catching her, Zhixin kept pinching Huo Mian’s face, enjoying himself as he did so…

Qin Chu sat on the couch, his arm supporting his head. He watched the sister-brother duo play around as he felt a surge of happiness well up in his heart.

After they got tired of being crazy, Huo Mian hugged Zhixin’s neck and took a selfie with him. Their smiles seemed to light up the house.

Huo Mian rarely smiled like that… she looked beautiful.

Anyone who saw their photo would instinctively become happy as well.

She uploaded this photo onto both WeChat and Weibo, along with the following caption, “siblings for life.”

“Wow, Zhixin’s back, he’s gotten more handsome… I told you I could be your sister-in-law, and you said I was too old,” Zhu Lingling teased.

Huo Mian replied, “Not only are you old… most importantly, you are out of your mind. I don’t want you to prey on young meat, ha.”

Zhixin replied, “Sister Lingling, stop joking around…”

Gao Ran replied to Zhu Lingling, “I’ll be home in half an hour, we need to talk.”

Zhu Lingling replied, “Ha, police officer, I was kidding with that kid. Don’t take it too seriously.”

Huo Mian replied to Zhu Lingling, “That’s what you get for being such a big mouth.”

Then, she replied to Gao Ran, “Teach her a good lesson, don’t save her any face.”

Gao Ran replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t go easy on her.”

Zhu Lingling: “Ahhhh… Mr. Qin, come out and do something about your wife. She’s sowing discord.”

Qin Chu replied, “I’m sorry, I can’t do anything about her. She’s the boss of our household.”

Zhu Lingling: “Allow me to sigh at the heavens, where is justice?”

Zhixin replied to Zhu Lingling, “Hahaha, Lingling your status has dropped, I feel bad for you.”

Su Yu was at an executive meeting when he received a notification from Weibo. He turned on the update for Huo Mian so whenever she posted something, he would be notified.

“I would now like to talk about the last project before the end of the year…” Halfway through his sentence, Su Yu heard his phone ring.

He looked down to see that it was from Weibo; after unlocking his phone and clicking open his Weibo app, he saw Huo Mian’s newest post.

Her smile was so bright on the photo… Su Yu’s mood lifted just by looking at her; he felt his heart being melted by her cuteness.

“President Su… you were saying?” the Vice President obviously had guts, and he nervously asked Su Yu to finish his thoughts.
