Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 9.009. I Want to Earn a Recognition for Myself (Revised)
Deep in the corridor.

Jiang Wang leaned against the wall, coldly scrutinizing the person in front of him from top to bottom.

This guy looked so calm, as if he were the one who had been caught red-handed.

"How long."

Lu Lishen raised an eyebrow, it was hard to tell whether he was genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"what?"

Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes, his voice laced with anger: "We've been brothers for so many years, do you expect me to lay a hand on you before you'll tell the truth?"

He had never seen Lu Lishen make a move.

But Jiang Wang just felt that this guy must be pretty good at fighting.

Lu Lishen paused, then finally raised his narrow eyes: "What do you want to hear?"

Jiang Wangqi laughed: "Are you still pretending?"

"You've gotten addicted to acting cute in front of my sister, haven't you?"

To outsiders, he's aloof and unapproachable, yet he insists on getting involved with his sister.

He crossed his arms, scrutinized his longtime friend from head to toe, and raised an eyebrow: "You like my sister?"

Lu Lishen's expression remained calm: "Yes."

Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes and began a barrage of questions: "When did this start? Did you say you had someone you liked before? Is that my sister? How far have things progressed between you two?"

Three questions in a row.

Lu Lishen answered the first two questions fluently: "Yes, it was our first meeting."

When it came to the last question, the man paused: "The current progress..."

As he spoke, he reached up and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, pulling it down.

Jiang Wang's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the light pink scratches on his shoulder blade, all the words stuck in his throat: "You..."

Lu Lishen raised his eyes, speaking slowly and earnestly: "I want to earn a proper title for myself."

"...Damn it! You fucking bastard!"

Jiang Wang ground his back teeth and threw a punch.

Lu Lishen didn't dodge, taking the punch head-on. Blood filled his mouth, but he didn't even flinch, continuing, "A-Wang, I'm serious." "Serious?" Jiang Wang smiled wickedly, his eyes, which resembled Jiang Jixu's, filled with coldness. "You've only met my sister a few times and you're already bullying her like this? And you're telling me you're serious?"

"Lu Lishen, I treated you like a brother, and you're trying to hit on my sister?!"

The commotion attracted the attention of the staff. The woman who led Jiang Jixu and the other person into the private room was about to step forward, but was forced back by a look from Lu Lishen.

Jiang Wang, in a state of rage, didn't notice at all.

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his emotions eerily stable: "Jiang Wang, you know I'm serious."

“I didn’t intend to date anyone.” Lu Lishen paused, a hint of tenderness appearing in his long, dark eyes. “My pursuit of her… is with marriage in mind.”

Jiang Wang met his dark eyes.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he realized that Lu Lishen wasn't lying.

However, he was still furious. Just imagine, someone who was treated as a close friend or brother had harbored ulterior motives towards his sister from the very first meeting...

Jiang Wang even suspected that all of this was orchestrated by Lu Lishen.

That angle, that timing—I deliberately let him discover it.

Otherwise, how can you explain that he hid it for so many years, only to be suddenly discovered by himself?

This guy isn't the kind of person who acts carelessly.

Jiang Wang's chest heaved violently, and he closed his eyes and couldn't help but curse.

He grabbed the man's collar and said fiercely, "Lu Lishen, I'm warning you, you can pursue me, but if I find out you've bullied my sister again, I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!"

Lu Lishen grasped his hand and skillfully dissipated the force.

"That's not necessary."

He straightened his disheveled collar, his face still showing that indifferent expression, but the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, indicating that he was in a good mood.

"I'm a soft-hearted person, I wouldn't lay a hand on my future brother-in-law."

Jiang Wang looked at him in disbelief, shook his head and muttered, "You're getting more and more shameless."

How can you talk so naturally about something that's barely even started?!

Lu Lishen: First, I'll deal with my brother-in-law as my wingman, and then I'll slowly win him over!
