Later, after she’d started school, she became more sensible and knew how to take care of her brother. She protected him well and prevented others from bullying him.

Huo Yunshen was so upset that he didn’t feel like talking anymore. Huo Sanyan still would not leave. Xu Xiyan, who was behind the sofa, thought that she was gone. She peeked out from behind the sofa and met Huo Yunshen’s eyes.

Huo Yunshen saw Xu Xiyan hiding behind the sofa where Huo Sanyan was sitting and his heart lurched. What should he do now?

Xu Xiyan saw Huo Sanyan sitting on the sofa. Shocked, she quickly lowered her head behind it.

In order to get rid of Huo Sanyan as soon as possible, Huo Yunshen secretly sent a text message to Tang Yichen and told him to call Huo Sanyan so she would leave.

After a minute had passed, Huo Sanyan’s phone rang. She saw that it was Tang Yichen but she didn’t pick up the call, muttering, “It’s already late. What does Mr. Tang want with me?”

Huo Yunshen replied, “It must be something important. You should pick up the call!”

“No. I’m already off work. No one can bother me now.”

Huo Sanyan immediately switched off her phone.

Huo Yunshen: “...”

She was obviously a devil sent by God to ruin his life.

Huo Sanyan did not want to leave mainly because she had something important to ask her brother. “Hey bro, what does your friend, Ye Xun, do?”

Though she was an award-winning entertainment journalist and a public relations director, herself, Huo Sanyan had not been able to dig out any information about Ye Xun. Therefore, this “Ye Xun” intrigued her.

“Why do you want to know?”

Huo Yunshen felt something cold crawling down his back and an ominous thought drifted through his mind. Could it be that his third sister—who was not interested in marriage—was interested in Ye Xun?

“Just curious. When are you two hanging out again? Let’s have a meal together,” Huo Sanyan said.

Huo Yunshen steered his wheelchair around to her side, staring at her incredulously. “Don’t tell me you’re interested in him?”

“What’s so strange about that? Your sister is a woman, too. Isn’t it normal for me to be interested in a man?”

Huo Sanyan turned and threw herself on the sofa, giggling like a love-struck girl. “Hey, do you think we’re compatible?”

“No! Not compatible at all!”

Huo Yunshen’s face was so dark, it looked as if ink could drip from it. He was going nuts.

His sister had actually fallen in love with Xu Xiyan’s male persona. What the f*ck!

Xu Xiyan, who was still hiding behind the sofa, heard the conversation between the two. She had the same sentiment as Huo Yunshen. Yes, what the f*ck!

“Hey! Are you my brother or not? How could a beautiful and talented woman like me not be worthy of him? Why don’t you think about your sister? I’m almost thirty and I don’t have a boyfriend yet. Are you not worried? It’s not easy for me to fall for someone and yet you’re disparaging me,” Huo Sanyan complained.

Huo Yunshen let out a sigh. He was skeptical. “I thought you wouldn’t marry.”

“That was before.”

Huo Sanyan clasped her hands together as she fantasized. “Ever since I met Ye Xun, my lonely heart of 30 years was suddenly swayed. It must be God’s arrangement that I was destined to meet him.”

Huo Yunshen facepalmed, “Forget it! He is 7 years younger than you. You aren’t suitable for each other!”

“So what if he is 7 years younger? Nowadays it’s common to see older women dating younger men. A 7-year gap is not a problem. I can even accept a 17-year gap!”

Huo Sanyan begged him, “Brother, please consider the fact that I’ve been an unpopular single. Help me meet him, okay? You should always reserve good things for your sister!”
