Su Jian suddenly understood that Su Xingyuan was causing a scene because he didn't feel secure.
"I will always want you. You're overthinking it," Su Jian sighed with relief. She went forward and embraced the trembling Su Xingyuan while patting his shoulder. "Don't worry, wherever I am, you will always have a home. Until the day you mature and decide to establish your own family, you'll always be my little brother."
"Sis, are you saying that I can move in and live with you and that man?" Su Xingyuan keenly caught the loophole in Su Jian's words.
Su Jian had not expected him to interpret it that way, but given Su Xingyuan's unstable emotions, she could only play along. "I'll talk to Jin Pingchuan about it."
"Sis, promise me one more thing. If you do so, I'll listen to everything you say," Su Xingyuan couldn't express his feelings for Su Jian directly. He was afraid that if he crossed that line, they would no longer have a brother-sister relationship. So for now, he could only rely on his status as a younger brother to gain Su Jian's sympathy and care.
"What is it?" Su Jian asked.
Su Xingyuan said, "Until I approve of that man, you can't let him take advantage of you. You must sleep in separate beds. If he behaves inappropriately even a little, you must divorce him!"
Su Jian fell silent.
"Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. You haven't known that person for long, and you don't really understand him," Su Xingyuan explained. When he saw Su Jian's lack of response, he pressed his face against hers, pleading like he used to when they were young.
Su Jian didn't want to entertain Su Xingyuan any longer.
"You're just a child. What do you know about adult matters?" Su Jian brushed off Su Xingyuan.
"Sis, I'm not a child anymore!" Su Xingyuan protested.
"In my eyes, you will always be a child," Su Jian firmly stated.
"Sister!" Su Xingyuan persisted.
"Alright, I understand what I'm doing. Don't worry, your brother-in-law is a good person. When you meet him in the future, call him brother-in-law, okay? Don't be stubborn. You're making things difficult for me," Su Jian conceded. It was difficult pacifying her brother.
"Sis..." Su Xingyuan felt helpless. He followed Su Jian back to the hospital room and saw Jin Pingchuan at the door. Jin Pingchuan had just come in and was holding two watermelons. When he saw them, he paused briefly.
Su Xingyuan noticed that Jin Pingchuan's gaze toward Su Jian was gentle, but when he looked at Su Xingyuan, his eyes turned deep and cold. Normally, a brother-in-law would at the very least acknowledge his younger brother-in-law. It was alright if he did not attempt to please him. But this man was viewing him as an enemy!
"What are you staring at? Do you remember what I told you?" Su Jian turned and urged Su Xingyuan.
"Jin Pingchuan? Is that his name, Jin Pingchuan?" Su Xingyuan didn't use a title. Instead, he called Jin Pingchuan by his full name.
Su Jian glared at him.
"It's fine," Jin Pingchuan smiled briefly as he swept a glance at Su Xingyuan's rebellious eyes. In Su Xingyuan, he could see a reflection of his own youth.
"Jin Pingchuan, I want to talk to you. Let's meet downstairs. If you're a man, come down quickly. Otherwise, I'll spit on your name for the rest of my life!" After saying this, Su Xingyuan coolly turned around and walked towards the elevator.
"Su Xingyuan! How dare you say that!" Su Jian was infuriated.
Jin Pingchuan remained calm. He smiled and handed the watermelons to Su Jian while reassuring her, "It's alright. It's normal for a boy to have some fire. I'll go down and talk to him."
"Su Xingyuan is quite skilled in fighting..." Su Jian expressed her concern. She worried that Jin Pingchuan might get hurt.
"What a coincidence. I'm also quite good at fighting. Didn't I tell you before? I was quite unruly when I was young," Jin Pingchuan smiled.
Was that even true? Su Jian found it hard to believe. Jin Pingchuan seemed cold at first glance, but when they interacted, he appeared gentle, polite, and refined. Could someone like him actually fight?
Downstairs, Su Xingyuan saw Jin Pingchuan coming down. Jin Pingchuan was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. His long strides carried an air of elegance that made Su Yinian feel inferior.
This version of Jin Pingchuan was completely different from the one Su Xingyuan saw at the hospital room door!
As a result, Su Xingyuan stood in stunned silence. How could this person change so much?
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jin Pingchuan calmly spoke up.
