But…
After they left the clubhouse, Xuxu asked, "Yan Rusheng, why didn't you ask him to call you Brother instead of Brother-in-Law?"
"Are you seriously dumb or just pretending to be?" Yan Rusheng frowned as he gazed at the tiny woman beside him. "If he addressed you as Sister, shouldn't I be Brother-in-Law?"
Momentarily stunned by his answer, Xuxu lowered her head. She replied softly with an "Oh."
So this was why her heart was starting to soften against her will.
She didn't want to guess the motive behind his strange behavior these past few days; why was he repeatedly trying to tear down her defenses against him?
Her heart had undergone all kinds of heartbreak and suffering. She felt that she was almost indestructible now. And even though she'd been badly hurt by him before, didn't she manage to recover?
So what do I have to fear? Why should I guard against him?
