Han Luoli narrowed his eyes and surveyed the two brothers sitting on the sofa, his gaze contemptuous, "Please, it's just a fake birthday party. Is it really worth all this fuss?"
Thinking about his own birthday on December 31—he sighed—it was even farther off.
Eventually, the three silent brothers set their target on Shen Minghan.
"I propose we send the eldest brother!" Ling Ye, not wanting to hurt himself at the expense of others, pushed Shen Minghan forward—after all, wasn't he not here for this?
At these words, the other two silently nodded in agreement, highly approving the idea.
Shen Minghan, who was doing a routine checkup in the hospital room, suddenly sneezed...
Han Luoli gave Ling Ye an approving look, "You go and tell Shen Minghan. Have him prepare as soon as possible."
"Why me..." Ling Ye grumbled dissatisfiedly, but under Han Luoli's pressuring look, he reluctantly pulled out his phone.
He quipped casually, "Big brother, whether or not you've got a birthday coming up, hurry up and prepare a birthday party."
Shen Minghan, who had just come out of the hospital room, received Ling Ye's abrupt call, confused about what was going on, but still inquired carefully and gentlemanly.
Ling Ye, who was hopelessly spilling everything, finally didn't forget to exaggerate and shift the blame onto Han Luoli, holding the phone and giving Han Luoli a defiant look—a clear expression of "With big brother on my side, I'm not afraid of you!"
After hearing this, Shen Minghan chuckled warmly. Han Luoli was really going out of his way for his little fiancée—it was the duty of a brother to help out! Although it wasn't his birthday coming up anytime soon, he still agreed to it.
Ling Ye, finding it all dull, pouted and turned on the loudspeaker of his phone.
"Day after tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. Everyone come over and celebrate together."
"Shen Mingyou?" Everyone knew the brothers' sister, of course.
"Yeah, she insisted on visiting me. The old man let her go and told me to take good care of her."
After hanging up, the birthday party was thus settled.
Han Luoli looked at his handiwork with satisfaction, but soon furrowed his brows. That little girl had been chasing after him with endless questions lately. Now, every time he went home, he spoke with the utmost caution.
He couldn't imagine, if Xiao Er found out that he'd been hiding things from her, if she learned about his past deeds, would she still stay with him?
There were some things he had to accelerate...
Seeing Han Luoli lost in thought and silent, Ling Ye didn't take it seriously, smirking, "Second brother, your experience in love is seriously lacking. With women, you can't always be tight on them; you've got to give and take. If you ignore her for a few days, she'll realize how precious you are."
The remark earned Ling Ye a sharp look from Han Luoli, "Don't teach me your ways of playing with women!"
Ling Ye was jolted: was his second brother playing for keeps? In this day and age, could the scions of wealthy families also find true love? His second brother was no ordinary person.
He grinned roguishly, then suddenly straightened up, leaned close to Han Luoli, and whispered, "Second brother, let me give you a tip..."
After finishing, he couldn't help but squeeze his Peach-liked Eye, looking quite proud of himself, "How about that, smart, isn't it!"
"It's not a bad idea, but I could refine it a bit more."
Bai Xiaoyu was quietly watching their back and forth without a word, but when he caught a glimpse of Han Luoli's inscrutable smile, he couldn't help but tense up. That kind of expression usually meant someone was about to get played…
Picking up the phone, Han Luoli dialed the familiar number.
