437 Nian's evil scheme
The increasing distress with Jun’s silence made more and more frowns visible on his handsome face. He disabled the speaker option and said, “Don’t take the trouble, Bro.”
Jun knew on the other side that Shui wasn’t listening anymore.
“Jin, I know it’s hard for you. I am not saying what you suffered was a lie. But there are too many unknowns surrounding our past lives. I just hope you keep an open mind until we figure things out.”
Which was a big call for Jin to take.
“Please? For your big brother?”
“I will try…” he muttered under his breath.
“Good. Now, don’t be mean and drop Shui wherever she wants to go, okay?”
They hung up and feeling extremely livid, Jin glared at Shui. “Aren’t you feeling so happy now?”
Shui narrowed her eyes. “I wasn’t exactly so thrilled to pull this card, but it’s the only card that works against you. You are always on your best behavior whenever Jun is around. Since the beginning.”
Her gaze looked faraway at a distance, reminiscing a certain memory. “Remember that day you ruined my drawing?”
Jin stiffened.
How could he not remember? Jealous of the growing attention Shui got from Jun, he had ruined her drawing. If not for Shui lying that it was an accident, he didn’t know how he would have faced his brother that day.
She chuckled. “You got so panicked when you saw Jun coming. You were almost in the state of bursting into tears.”
“I don’t want to hear…anything about it,” he whispered to himself as he trembled.
“It was that day I truly realized just how much you adore Jun. He is the bestest person for you and a standard that you want to achieve. You care for him so much.”
I don’t want to remember that day! Jin’s restlessness grew wider and wider.
She then slowly said, “And so do I. We have been childhood friends. We might not be suitable as a couple. I admit I made some mistakes. I hurt him, and I truly feel guilty. But don’t ever accuse me of not caring for him at all. Jun is my best friend and as a friend, I will always care and support him.”
The darkness within his heart slowly clouded his eyes. He felt as if he was struggling to swim in a sea of deep and harsh currents that threw his body back and forth.
If you cared about him, then you wouldn’t have played that cheap suicide trick with me. You would have never forced me to marry you which you knew for sure would have destroyed Bro completely…
“So don’t act like you cared about him…” he said inaudibly.
Shui said, “I will let myself out here. You don’t have to drop me anywhere.”
The car suddenly took ignition and as Jin drove, Shui looked surprised. “I said you don’t have to-“
“Stop talking. I already promised Bro that I will drop you. So sit quietly. But I will be doing my work first, so don’t even bother complaining.”
Her mouth twitched with a grimace.
Like I said, you don’t have to force yourself.
He glared at her. “And don’t dare to snitch me to Bro again!”
Shui snorted. “Depends on your behavior.”
He clenched his fist, his face turning red and livid with displeasure.
Just wait until I get my revenge on you!

Sky Publishing.
Xing Bi was bored. Even though the day was just turning into an afternoon, she was already pretty much done for the day. She had even sorted out her tasks to be done on the next day.
Ah, what should I do with so much free time?
Looking at Ai’s empty chair, she pouted.
This is so not fair! Ai and Liu Jun must definitely be having some mushy mushy time together in his office. And here I am left all alone.
Seriously the things a single person has to suffer…
It was as if a certain someone read her mind and boredom, she got a call on her phone.
“Xing Biiiiiii! Let’s go on a date!” Nian’s ever so chirpy and joyful voice came from the other end.
“…”
“Hehe, I have made my finest creation till date! And I want you to be the first taste tester like always~ After all, my future wife has the right to be the first for my everything~”
Xing Bi’s boredom filled face beamed and ignoring the last part of his sentence, she focused more on the first part.
Finest creation? It means a delicious cake again!
No matter how annoying Nian was, she couldn’t disregard his baking skills that created the most mouth-watering cakes she ever had.
Since the past few weeks, Nian had been feeding her with any new cake recipe he tried. It was always Xing Bi who had the first bite. He used cakes to drill a place in her heart.
Xing Bi was completely unaware of this evil scheme. She only focused on eating appetizing cakes which were totally free on her pocket.
“I am coming!”
She grabbed her bag and hailing a cab, she quickly made her way to Natsukashi Bakery.
“Xing Biiiiiii! I missed you so much!”
Nian jumped to squish the love of his life in his arms, but she escaped right past him towards the cake.
“Oh, is this the cake you made today?” Her eyes sparkled.
Nian sobbed.
My dear, I would have definitely welcomed a passionate hug.
He wiped his imaginary tears and looked proud as he presented his cake. “Yes! The finest red velvet cake until now! I have added my own spice to it~ Say aah, my dear. Let me feed you.”
Nian’s chief assistant had already handed her the knife to cut the cake.
The chief assistant sweated, feeling Nian’s murderous glare at him.
You ruined my romantic plan!
He cried.
Please don’t fire me Boss! I-I was just-
Shut up!
Xing Bi happily took a piece of cake and took a bite when she noticed a familiar figure through the glass windows.
Hm? Is that Sun Bai?
