CHAPTER 1063: 1140: HEAVEN OWES ME A BROTHER

Yi Ran suddenly shivered all over.

At that moment, he had an inexplicable intuition.

Why, compared to Shu Yu, does this Lady Xiao Dong seem even more terrifying?

Yi Ran and Shu Yu followed Dong Huiying out, with Shu Yu at the back, not forgetting to close the door behind them. He was very careful when closing the door, trying not to make any unnecessary noise, so as not to wake the big brother sleeping inside.

After closing the door, he turned around to see Yi Ran behind him, mouth agape with a silly expression.

He frowned and asked, "What’s with your expression? You’re drooling."

"Ah!" With a snap, he closed his mouth, then lifted his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, only to realize he’d been fooled by this sly guy.

Ugh, Jade is really not cute at all!! But then, he looked at Shu Yu with a sense of new curiosity.

In his impression, Shu Yu was a very harsh person, too cold by nature, never caring about others, only showing a bit of warmth when Lady Dong was by his side.

Yi Ran thought that a man like Shu Yu was likely someone who didn’t recognize family ties. But his manner when closing the door just now was inexplicably brotherly and kind of warmed him up.

Yi Ran felt a bit saddened again, heavens owe me a brother!!

"Foolish," Shu Yu mocked with a snort, then stepped forward to catch up with his wife master.

Yi Ran felt even more saddened, really wanting a brother like Shu Yu!

Sharp-tongued? That’s okay, after a while, you get used to the sharpness; his adaptability is quite good!

Yi Ran mused to himself. When could Shu Yu help him close a door?

What a pity, he’s not Shu Yu’s brother, so he shouldn’t expect it in this lifetime. Maybe there’s a slight chance in the next?

***

Dong Huiying led them into the study, which was pitch black inside, and she picked up a flint and lit the oil lamp. Then, she gestured for Yi Ran to sit down, while Master Liang Er, naturally without needing her invitation, had already picked the seat closest to her and sat down.

Yi Ran sat upright, inexplicably a bit nervous. Don’t ask him why he felt so uneasy, he just did.

"Ahem, Lady Dong, what do you want to ask?"

Good, he actually started to address her as "你", when they first met, Yi Ran was quite resentful of Dong Huiying. Even though he softened a bit later due to Shu Yu’s influence, when facing Dong Huiying, he would either purse his lips or pretend to be blind, acting like he didn’t see her even if he did.

But now, due to Liang Zhichen, knowing that Dong Huiying is his benefactor’s wife master, his demeanor is utterly obedient.

Dong Huiying felt a bit helpless too, is she really that frightening?

Not really, she thought she was quite lovable, pretty enough, and not like some terrifying Asura with a ferocious face. Why does Yi Ran seem so scared of her?

She touched her chin, and then said, "I just want to understand a bit about the past. You know, my Zhi Chen’s memory is incomplete. Although he remembers some things now, that part is precisely what he can’t recall. Many things from back then remain mysteries, and since you were involved, I wanted to ask you."

She had stated it so plainly, surely he could relax a bit now, right? Otherwise, his pitiful look made it seem as if she was bullying him.

She wasn’t Shu Yu, not nearly as nasty, seriously!
