"You owe me an explanation." Until this moment, Edward didn't know he could be jealous of a young man. He was green with envy when he saw his wife cared for another man. His heart was filled with fury and jealousy, and he was about to explode. Usually, women would fight for his favor, since when did it shift the other way around? However, Edward had no time to think about that. The only thing he could think of was to protect his wife.
"Explanation? Didn't you see everything?" Daisy assumed Edward knew that Brian was her brother; what she meant was that it was common for a sister to embrace her brother, especially after they had been parted for years. However, Edward didn't. In Edward's eyes, Daisy was challenging him. He had just announced to the world that she was his wife; how could she embrace another man like this? It was unacceptable!
"Daisy, are you really that desperate? Huh? You won't even explain it to me. Or perhaps you are trying to upset me because of Jessica? That's why you are hitting on another man." A moment ago Edward was in the seventh heaven, and now he was falling from cloud nine. How could he accept this calmly?
"Edward, don't make a fuss out of nothing. Are you out of your mind? I have no idea what you're talking about." Confused, Daisy reached out her hand, trying to feel his forehead. But she missed him because he turned his head aside angrily. Daisy was sure that Edward was mad at her. But why?
"Am I making a fuss out of nothing? I saw with my own eyes that you were holding this boy toy! Don't you think I deserve an explanation?" Edward was being ridiculous. Did he forget that he was holding Jessica just a few minutes ago? How could he blame Daisy when he had made the same mistake?
"Boy toy? You mean Brian?" Daisy was puzzled, and she turned her eyes to Brian. He looked masculine and handsome. How could he be a boy toy? Did Edward mean someone else? Who could it be?
"Brian... You've never been that gentle while calling out my name." Edward got more irritated, Daisy always called everyone she knew by first names or nicknames, but she usually addressed him by his full name! Did she hate his name? Or did she hate him?
Haha! Honey, are you jealous?" Daisy finally understood why Edward was angry. He was jealous of Brian! Didn't he know that Brian was her brother?
"No. I'm many things, but I'm not the green-eyed monster." With his eyes steadily fixed on Brian, Edward answered Daisy. He wondered what Daisy saw in that man. 'He's still wet behind the ears! How could he possibly compete with me? The only advantage I can see is that he is a couple of years younger than me. So what?' Edward thought to himself gloomily.
"Since Mr. Mu is not jealous, may I borrow Daisy? I'll be the jealous one if you keep holding her like that." With a hint of slyness glowing in his eyes, Brian deliberately chose vague words. He wanted to get back at Edward by tricking him because he pushed him hard before figuring out the situation. Luckily, Brian had no idea how badly Edward had hurt Daisy before. Otherwise, he wouldn't just trick Edward. Edward was lucky that Brian hadn't found out what he had done to Daisy. Brian loved his sister more than anyone. If he ever found out that Edward had hurt her, he would make sure that Edward paid for that.
Do you know what you are talking about? Who are you to borrow my wife and to be jealous?" Edward fell for Brian's trap. He got more furious and jealous when he heard what Brian had said.
With a frown, Daisy watched the two men bickering with each other. Somehow she felt very happy at this point. They were both important to her, and they were defending her in their own ways. Daisy felt so blessed to be loved and cherished by them. Then she was surprised that she became this sentimental all of a sudden.
"Who am I? That's an interesting question. But why don't you tell me first why I can't borrow her?" With his arms folded casually, Brian raised his eyebrows and smirked. He didn't miss the rage in Edward's eyes. Brian knew that the more furious Edward got, the more he loved and cared about Daisy. Instead of being mad at Edward, Brian was quite happy to see Daisy had found someone who truly loved her.
"Alright, Brian. Stop it. He's taking it seriously." As much as Daisy was giggling inside, she didn't want to see them start a fight. When she noticed that Edward's look grew darker with Brian's provocation, she immediately stopped them before Edward lost his temper and attacked Brian again.
Upon hearing Daisy, Brian smiled and held out his hand to introduce himself to Edward,
Hello, brother-in-law! My name is Brian Ouyang. Nice to finally meet you. Please don't take it to heart; I was only joking." Although he wanted to keep tricking Edward, he would stop if and when Daisy wanted him to. He would do whatever his sister wished. As long as Daisy wouldn't drive him out of her life, he could ask for nothing more. He felt strong when she treated him as her dear brother.
"What did you just call me? Brother-in-law? You said you're Brian Ouyang. Are you Daisy's brother?" Surprised by Brian's words, Edward murmured as he sorted things out in his mind. He threw a shocked look at Daisy when he realized who Brian was. Jeez! Was Brian really her brother? Did he just mistake his wife's younger brother for her secret lover? Edward went blank because of both shame and shock.
"Bingo! One point for you! I'm Daisy's only brother - Brian!" Brian emphasized the word 'only' because he was her only family. None of her other family members from the Ouyang family cared about her or treated her good.
I'm sorry. Did I make a mistake?" Feeling awkward, Edward brushed his hair with his fingers and turned to Daisy. Daisy shrugged and gave him a tiny smile.
"Yes, you did. Please find out who you are throwing your fist at before you get jealous next time. Or you'll end up embarrassing yourself." Daisy had no choice but to give in when Edward stared at her with puppy eyes. Although sometimes she regretted spoiling him, she always found a reason to forgive herself for doing so. No matter what, she couldn't stay mad at him.
"Yes, you're right. Next time before I hit him, I'll definitely tell him why." Edward smirked at Daisy. Although he misunderstood their relationship, Brian still embraced Daisy. The only man in the world who could hug Daisy was Edward himself! Brian was not allowed to do so, even if he was her brother. Edward noticed that Brian was special to Daisy. She had cut off all her connections with the Ouyangs, but not with Brian.
Daisy was speechless when she heard Edward. What did he just say? Did he mean that he would still attack Brian? Did he think that it was the right thing to do? How dare he stand in front of her and threaten her brother? Wasn't he afraid of her? Daisy would like to see what Edward was going to do to Brian because no matter what Edward did, she would do the same thing to him! She wouldn't tolerate him ignoring her and bullying her brother!
