“You looked like an ancient eunuch when you were flattering him.” Chris couldn’t stand that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica curled her lip. “I’d like to.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she saw the grandmother coming in out of the corner of her eye, she hid her dissatisfaction quickly, took his hand again, and said sweetly, “Have a seat. I will make you a cup of your favorite milk.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who loved milk? He didn’t even touch that kind of girlish thing, okay? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris was about to say that he didn’t like milk, so he would like a cup of coffee, when a thin hand reached furtively around his waist and pinched it in a circle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He gasped in pain and held his tongue. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Shit! This little silly gave a hard pinch! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ryan was watching this scene with cold eyes. She could get along well with anyone, even her new boyfriend. They could be so close. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Only in front of him, she was always watchful and reverent, and had never been so intimate with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica suddenly had the palpitations of being stared at by savage beast. She turned her head and saw her brother staring at her without expression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Well…She didn’t seem to have done anything to offend him, did she? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Didn’t you say you were going to boil milk for Chris? Why do you look at your brother? Why don’t you go?” The grandmother wasn’t happy to see their eyes meet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She took a few steps, interposed herself between them, and interrupted their eye contact. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She just happened to meet her brother’s eye. Why grandma looked like she caught them in bed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica felt uncomfortable, but she didn’t say anything. She just nodded and walked towards the kitchen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When passing by Ryan, she tripped because Ryan stuck out a leg suddenly. She was startled, and hurriedly went around, only to be stopped by his other leg. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The first time could be accidental, but the second time could only be intentional. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica turned to look at Ryan. After a cautious look at him, she said softly, “What’s up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Nothing.” Ryan answered succinctly and forcefully, but his leg was still laid in front of her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris disliked seeing that, but after all, Ryan was Jessica’s brother. He pulled a long face and held his tongue, but just gave a snort at Ryan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica looked down at the leg lying in front of her. Actually, she could stride over it, but her brother didn’t seem to be okay. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She thought back to what she had just said carefully, and realized suddenly. “Ryan, would you like some milk?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t like it. But I’m thirsty, so I’ll make do with it.” Ryan’s face softened and he withdrew his leg. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris couldn’t help, but sniffed, “Just say you want to drink milk. Do you have to express in such a roundabout way? Women are not as troublesome as you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately, she and the bully were not real lovers. Otherwise, because of his attitude towards her brother, would they get married? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The smile almost froze on Jessica’s lips. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You haven’t got married and talk to your brother-in-law in this way. I don’t think you want to marry Jessica.” Ryan sat on the sofa and looked at Chris coldly, who was sitting opposite. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing the word ‘marry’, Chris blushed immediately. “Who said I want to marry…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If he finished, wasn’t the fact that they pretended to be lovers exposed? Jessica was heart in her mouth. She gave him a kick on the shin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Chris, do you still want to marry me? Respect my brother if you want to.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris looked at his shin which was kicked by Jessica with a sullen face. Why was the little silly so violent? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica looked at Ryan’s expressionless face and felt nervous. She winked at Chris while she was saying to him, “I’m going to boil the milk now. Please wait a moment. I’ll be right back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She went into the kitchen and boiled the milk as fast as she could. She was afraid that Chris would spill the beans and expose the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Inside the living room, without Jessica as the lubricant, the atmosphere between Chris and Ryan was tense. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You didn’t finish what you said just now. What were you trying to say?” Ryan’s eyes looked deep. “Were you going to say that you don’t want to marry Jessica?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before he knew Jessica’s identity, he disliked Ryan. After knowing her identity, he still disliked Ryan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He raised his eyebrows and said impatiently, “I have just said so many words. How do I know what you mean?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If you can’t remember, I can help you recall it. You said, ‘Who said I want to marry… ‘You didn’t finish. I wonder what you’re trying to say.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ryan clung to it. As he spoke, he stared at Chris, watching the change of his expression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris said shortly, whose eyes glinted. “I forget. I have a bad memory.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could this man be so annoying! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You have a bad memory at such young age, which makes me worry about Jessica’s future life.” Ryan curled his lip and crossed his slender legs. “May I take the liberty to ask whether there is any hereditary disease in your family?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chris had a quick temper that couldn’t stand being provoked at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the moment, he lost his temper because of Ryan’s ironic words. “You have a disease! I’m in excellent health. Mind your own business!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The corners of Ryan’s mouth curved up imperceptibly. He didn’t continue but looked meaningfully at his father who was also sitting in the living room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The father had frowned. His daughter’s boyfriend was so irritable and impetuous that he did not know what she saw in him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ryan, dad, he just has a quick temper. Please don’t mind.” She had been as fast as she could, but she didn’t expect Chris had made trouble for her in such a short time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If her father was not satisfied and let her “break up”, then she would have to go on a blind date again? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He…In fact, his quick temper has negative effects as well as positive effects. When I was sexually harassed by Alex on set, others couldn’t see that. Even if one or two did, they didn’t say anything.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Chris was the one who helped me on the spot. He beat the player up with the stuff. Otherwise, I don’t know how much I still have to suffer. That’s when I began to like him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica did her best to explain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She looked so protective of Chris that it made Ryan feel bad. He gave a sniff and said. “It does more harm than good, anyway. Our family may not mind his being impetuous, but will the others?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you going to clean up his mess when he causes trouble?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What was wrong with Ryan? Why was he so unhappy with Chris all of a sudden? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica was so worried that sweat appeared on her head and she did not know how to refute. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have an agent, and my company. If something does happen, I don’t need my woman to help me deal with it.” Chris looked at her anxious face and felt more annoyed. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
