Against Nina's expectations, Mian shook her head with her small, sharp nose scrunched up. "Spare this commoner from your saliva, supreme."
"You are a really stubborn child, aren't you?" Nina said this line in the British Accent; as she would recurrently switch between Chinese and English. "These two are the only matching ones I brought here."
Mian couldn't smother her giggle. Her voice was very harmonious, as she said, "Your half-baked accent is very cute!"
Nina brushed her nose with her forefinger, then with her nose in the air, she said, "I'm a proud Chinese, and my Chinese accent is very sexy. If not for the fact that I have to travel around for my work, and English is mandatory. Do you think I would ever learn this language?"
"Judging how slothful you are, of course not!" Mian said as a matter of fact. Learning had always been a helpless case for Nina. Teaching her was a mentally herculean task for their mother. All her emotional and physical efforts were channeled into educating Nina.
"Trying another topic will get you nowhere." Nina quipped. "I haven't dropped the topic yet, go and change into this." Her voice reached a new peak in volume.
"But.." Mian hesitated with a contorted expression.
"Stop saying 'but' we have no time to waste." Nina's tonation took a domineering edge. "It's already quarter past ten. Only leftovers would be left for us a few minutes later. Begin prepping already!" She started getting impatient. Her face became a fifty-fifty mixture of mild anger and stubbornness to dress Mian up.
Being a fashion icon, it was hard for Nina to see her sister in conservative clothing like grannies. Besides, the dress she just chose now wasn't that revealing. It was a black faux leather high-waisted mini skirt, which would end at her upper thigh, however, it wasn't panty exposing one. The skirt was paired with a neon sweetheart neckline and off shoulder crop top. It would perfectly showcase Mian's sexy collarbone and accentuate her curvy figure.
Mian fell silent. She wondered if she was literally being unprogressive. Above that, Nina had an odd temper. If the latter left her apartment in the fit of anger, wouldn't she regret that?
After a moment of silence, Mian nodded her head slightly, then formed her words with care. "Alright. But, this is the last time." Her last sentence was sharp and just to the point.
Mian glowered at Nina, but the latter just chuckled with a contagious sound, which infected Mian's lips to act on their own.
"It's reward time!" Nina pecked two quick kisses on Mian's both cheek, before asking playfully, "Babe, you want me to change your dress?!"
"What? No!" Mian leaped back instantly with a frightened face, then scurried to her bedroom; a wild laughter followed her, as Nina threw back her head.
The silver scales on Nina's blouse gave out small flashes of light under the led ceiling light as she took it off over her head to change into the new dress.
...
"Big brother, is it you? Hell must be freezing over!" Mu Ethan's surprised shriek came from the other side of the line.
Mu Yuhaan, "....."
"I mean, you have never ever called me before, not even for once! It's always me who calls you. This is the first time you took the initiative-"
Mu Yuhaan cut him in mid-sentence. "I don't have time for your nonsense. Tell me what I should wear." He directed his camera towards his walk-in-closet, giving Mu Ethan full access to see everything.
William Benjamin, Mu Yuhaan's personal fashion consultant had turned the guest room into a walk-in-closet, which was full of this season's limited edition branded clothing; and the adjacent room to the guest room was filled with his latest collection of shoes, wrist watches, glasses, perfumes ets. This FC always collected all the famous branded items for Mu Yuhaan; but he chose his OOTD simply by 'which one his hand reaches first' way.
Nonetheless, now Mu Yuhaan was seriously mulling over what to wear. Now that, he was on swashbuckling, he had to look debonair and attractive all the time.
Mu Ethan was stunned for a few seconds. It was only after his thoughts snapped back to reality, then he asked, "Since when have you become concerned about your OOTD?"
Ever since he could remember, his big brother had always been apathetic towards these stuffs.
"Will you suggest something or should I just hang up?" Mu Yuhaan asked, impatience could be detected in his voice.
"Ok-ok, I will definitely suggest. However, for that, first tell me where you are going. Is it a friend's gathering or a party? If party, then what type of parties?" Mu Ethan asked like a professional fashion expert.
"Dinner invitation, at someone's home."
"Do I know that person, big bro?" Mu Ethan's curiosity was piqued, as he knew his brother didn't like going to anyone's home.
"You blabber way too much."
"Brother, have you finally found someone?"
Mu Yuhaan, "...."
"Oh My Jesus Christ! You have finally found my sister-in-law for me! I can't believe it! I'm freaking happy, big bro!" Mu Ethan jumped out from the bed in excitement, and sat on a swing; hitting the floor against his feet, he went up to the air, and repeated the action.
Albeit, Mu Yuhaan didn't say anything, his silence spoke volumes, and it satisfied Mu Ethan's fit of curiosity.
"She is not for you! She is mine, only for me." Mu Yuhaan said grimly, then glared white hot anger at his brother through the phone, issuing a decree ordering his gaze to drill his brother's skull to save this intense warning as explicit long-term memory.
"...." Mu Ethan shuddered from the other side of the phone. He merely stared, as his dark brown, loose curls toppled into his blue eyes, stupefied at what he said to bring forth such rejoinder! All his momentary excitement left him.
Never did he ever presume, a possessive beast would ambush him from under his big brother's cold surface!
Mu Ethan smiled sheepishly, and blurted out without a second thought, "Big brother, you are already so possessive about my sister-in-law. I'm not sure whether she will be lucky or not. Nowadays, possessive behavior is interpreted as controlling. Moreover, bossy lover is nerve-racking for any individualist, in case she is one. Normally, this type of people grow more jealous and demanding with time, and want to keep a tight rein on their partner. Brother, you can't be too taxing, otherwise, sister-in-law might turn you off. For example, you can see me, I like no such thing!" Mu Ethan said, his tone conversational.
