From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Yeah, that’s true as well,” Jian Yujie responded. Then, he lowered his head to try the next dessert.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling echoed as she continued to eat.

Both of them had a point.

“Well, that also depends on the kind of mistake that’s been made. Furthermore, if a mistake has been made, shouldn’t you face it? You shouldn’t run away. If you run away, you’re just being irresponsible,” Jian Yumin replied with a cold snort.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling stopped the movement in their hands.

Although the two of them were slow when it came to these things, they still sensed that something was not right between Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen.

“Umm, do you have something to say to Sister En?” Jian Yujie asked.

“No! No, I don’t!”

Before Jian Yumin had the chance to respond, Luo Xiuen already responded for him.

As she replied too quickly, even Jian Yiling could see that there was something amiss.

And thus, Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling took a look at each other.

Then, the two of them shifted to another desk with the platters of desserts that they were eating. They decided to give Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen some space to speak.

They didn’t really know what Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen planned to talk about. However, they didn’t plan to get involved either.

“Yiling, this one is super delicious. You should try it!”

“Mhmm.”

And thus, Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling continued to happily eat desserts at a nearby table.

This was a stark contrast to Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen’s table.

“Brother Yumin… About last night, it was my mistake. I apologize for it. Is that okay?”

“Who wants you to apologize? After such a thing happens, even if one party has to apologize, isn’t it usually the man?” Jian Yumin asked in frustration. He was the man! He was meant to be responsible! Why was Luo Xiuen saying this to him?!

“But last night… I…”

“Oh my god. I initiated it… Even though later on I was pinned down…”

When Jian Yumin thought about the details of last night, his face could not help but turn red.

“Huh?” Luo Xiuen asked. She was incredibly confused.

What did Brother Yumin mean by that?

Did she not force him last night?

However, if he did those things willingly… Then didn’t that mean that he also had… Had feelings for her?

As soon as she thought about this, Luo Xiuen’s brain completely crashed.

“I’m telling you that I should be the one speaking about these things! Why are you saying those things?” If Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie weren’t here, he would have fought the woman in front of him.

“I… I didn’t… I just…” Luo Xiuen stuttered. She struggled to think of anything to say.

Ahhh, all of a sudden, her brain didn’t work.

Why was her brain useless during important moments?!

When Jian Yumin saw Luo Xiuen stuttering over her words, he assumed that she was trying to make excuses for herself. And thus, he became even angrier: “Well, if you want to leave, then leave now! Don’t let me ever see you again!”

Luo Xiuen paused for a moment when she heard this. Then, she hung her head.

After that, she picked up her bag and left.

If he wanted her to go away, of course, she would listen to him.

She didn’t want to disturb his life. Especially if he didn’t want to be disturbed.

When Jian Yumin saw Luo Xiuen walk away, he became even more annoyed.

The woman actually left! She actually walked away!

Was his charm that bad now?

When Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling saw Luo Xieun leaving, both of them turned their heads in unison to look at Jian Yumin.

“Stop looking! I’m still single!” Jian Yumin huffed in anger.

“Ahhh, our future sister-in-law ran away,” Jian Yujie said to Jian Yiling.

After a moment, Jian Yujie widened his eyes in surprise.

Wait a minute… Was his brother in love with Sister En?!
