After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the fake heiress binds herself to a rough-looking man

Jiang Yu'an suppressed turbulent emotions in his eyes.

I'm afraid you'll get hurt.

Jiang Yu's fingers paused.

This statement, though made lightly, was more difficult to respond to than the previous questions.

She looked up at him.

Jiang Yu'an doesn't usually speak to this extent.

He's been like this since he was a child.

She scraped her knee, but instead of comforting her, he just frowned and applied iodine to it.

But the very next day, the garden slab that caused her to fall was pried off.

Now it's a living, breathing man.

He still insisted on clearing the area.

Jiang Yu's throat tightened.

"I will be careful."

"Not a notice."

Jiang Yu'an stated definitively, "We've severed all contact."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Jiang Yu'an understood when he saw her like this.

She didn't agree.

She was spoiled since childhood; the more she was forbidden to touch something, the more she wanted to poke it.

When she was little, her mother wouldn't let her eat ice cream, so she would wait by the kitchen door for the aunt to change shifts.

It will be more troublesome when they grow up.

She can act cute, pretend to be obedient, and even sneak up the wall behind her family's back.

Now they've even learned how to use connections.

Give me your phone.

Jiang Yu quickly covered her pocket.

"What?"

Delete him.

"no."

Jiang Yu'an's expression darkened.

"Jiang Yu".

"Brother, the phone is mine."

She leaned back. "You can't control my WeChat friend list, can you?"

Jiang Yu'an stood up.

Jiang Yu also stood up.

The two people faced each other across a desk.

The little light ball is bubbling again.

[Host, the contact information for the life-extending target is a strategic resource and it is not recommended to hand it over.]

Jiang Yu: "Do you even need to tell me?"

However, the older brother's pressure level is too high; it's recommended to use a delaying tactic.

Jiang Yu immediately raised her hand.

"I promise you, I won't go out to see him for a while."

Jiang Yu'an did not budge.

"Delete it."

"That won't do," Jiang Yu said sincerely. "They've repaired my car before, what if they need after-sales service?"

Jiang Yu'an looked at her.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Jiang Yu added, "The service industry is really corrupt these days."

"Jiang Yu, do you think I'm stupid?"

"No," she whispered, "I just feel you're not as smart as you were yesterday."

Jiang Yu'an: "..."

A soft cough came from outside the door.

Wang Ma stood at the doorway, holding a tray, unsure whether to go in or back out.

"Young master, young lady, Madam has asked us to bring up some white fungus soup."

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up.

Lifesaving soup.

She took the tray in two quick steps: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, I'm starving."

Wang Ma glanced at the atmosphere in the study and softened her voice: "Miss, drink it while it's hot."

Jiang Yu sat down on the sofa next to her with her bowl, pretending to be just a casual person who had come to the study to eat dessert.

Jiang Yu'an didn't press her any further.

He picked up his phone and sent a message.

Jiang Yu asked suspiciously, "Who are you sending it to?"

"assistant."

"Investigate him?"

"Arrange security for the banquet."

Jiang Yu was skeptical.

Jiang Yu'an looked up: "If you ask again, you won't eat tonight."

She shut her mouth and drank the white fungus soup.

Five minutes later, Jiang Yu'an closed the document.

"You are not allowed to go out alone before the banquet on Saturday. If you want to see Lin Xingran, have her come to the house."

Jiang Yu almost choked on the lotus seeds.

"Do I need to ask permission to use the restroom?"

"You can give it a try."

"Brother, you'll lose me if you do this."

Jiang Yu'an glanced at her.

"You're fine as long as you're home."

Jiang Yu bit her spoon, so angry she wanted to throw the lotus seed at him.

Footsteps sounded again at the door of the study.

Jiang Ruoruo leaned half her body in.

"Brother, Mom asked me to ask you if we need to double-check the seating chart for the dinner."

She was speaking to Jiang Yu'an, but her eyes were drifting towards Jiang Yu's wrist.

Jiang Ruoruo smiled.

"My sister's here too. What are you two talking about?"

Jiang Yu put the bowl down.

"Let's discuss how to seat the talkative people at the last table."

Jiang Ruoruo's smile froze for a moment.

Jiang Yu'an picked up the seating chart.

"Come in."

Jiang Ruoruo entered the study and obediently stood by the desk.

"Brother, I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just afraid that if the arrangements are wrong, the guests will be unhappy."

"The seating arrangement will be handled by the public relations department; you don't need to worry about it."

Jiang Ruoruo lowered her head: "I just wanted to help."

"Memorizing your speech is helping out."

Jiang Yu almost burst out laughing, and quickly lowered her head to drink the white fungus soup.

Jiang Ruoruo gripped the hem of her skirt with her fingers.

She looked at Jiang Yu.

"Where did you sit that day, sister?"

Jiang Yu'an turned the page.

"Next to me."

There was a two-second silence in the study.

Jiang Yu also raised her head.

Jiang Ruoruo couldn't hold back.

"But...brother, that day was my family recognition banquet."

Jiang Yu'an put the seating chart back on the table.

"So you're sitting in the center of the main table, with Mom and Dad with you. Jiang Yu is sitting next to me. Is there a problem?"

Jiang Ruoruo's eyes began to well up with tears again.

Jiang Yu watched with admiration from the side.

This ability to trigger tears is something even leading ladies in Chinese dramas should learn.

Jiang Yu'an didn't give her any room to maneuver.

"Go out if you have nothing else to do."

Jiang Ruoruo bit her lip and left.

As soon as the door closed, Jiang Yu spoke up: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Jiang Yu'an did not deny it.

"So she won't cause you trouble at the banquet."

Jiang Yu's anger suddenly dissipated by half.

She awkwardly lowered her head and stirred the white fungus in the bowl.

"You were just yelling at me."

"Shouldn't you have been fierce?"

"I am very vulnerable."

"I didn't notice."

You have a poor eye for people.

Jiang Yu'an took the empty bowl away and placed it on the tray.

"Go back to your room."

Jiang Yu stood up, walked to the door, and then turned back.

"elder brother."

"explain."

"Don't touch Huo Li."

Jiang Yu'an stopped what she was doing.

Jiang Yu, afraid he would misunderstand, quickly added, "I'm not protecting him. I just feel it's unnecessary."

Jiang Yu'an stared at her for a long time.

"You still say you're not familiar with me?"

Jiang Yu fell silent.

After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out, "I've developed a fondness for repairing cars, is that wrong?"

Jiang Yu'an laughed in exasperation.

"go out."

Jiang Yu ran faster than anyone else, carrying the tray.

Back in her room, she locked the door and collapsed onto the bed.

The little ball of light floated out and perched beside her pillow.

[Host, the brother's storyline has entered a high-pressure monitoring phase.]

Jiang Yu buried her face in the blanket.

"I'm not blind."

[The difficulty of the survival guide has been increased.]

"Can you say something auspicious?"

The small ball of light spun twice.

[Good news: The host just maintained the life-extending target. If the target knows this, there is room for the intimacy value to increase.]

Jiang Yu looked up: "You're involved in sentiment finance?"

[Market strategy relies on anticipation.]

"Shut up."

My phone vibrated under my pillow.

Jiang Yu took it out.

Huo Li sent me a photo.

The photo shows a road.

Under the cover of night, the forest path surrounding the hillside manor was illuminated by streetlights, casting a yellow glow.

Jiang Yu recognized that place.

It's that little path outside the side gate of the Jiang family's house that they don't often take.

The following message is a separate message.

[On Saturday, under the third camphor tree by the side gate.]

Jiang Yu hadn't had a chance to reply yet.

The second one popped up.

【I'm waiting for you.】
