Qin Runyang saw Huo Sijia's countenance getting uglier by the minute, dreading that she might lose her temper and flip the table.
He busily sent her meaningful looks, incessantly signaling her to stay calm, calm under the table with his hand.
This finally allowed Huo Sijia to cool down slightly.
Since she knew that her elder brother was putting on a show for her, why get so upset? Wasn't that just playing right into her brother's hand?
Her aunt and cousin were right; men prefer gentle and docile girls. Who would like someone willful and unruly? A strong man like her brother, even less so.
Otherwise, why would he choose a woman with the last name Xia to have a faux marriage? Wasn't it because she doesn't cry or make a fuss, seemingly very sensible?
And if she truly exploded because of her elder brother's provocation, he would have even more reason not to let her move in.
After all, if she couldn't even endure a meal together, how could they live under the same roof?
