Chapter 265 I Understand, I Understand!

A moment later, Zhao Yanan sighed in resignation, "I'm not pregnant; I just have a bad stomach... Anyway, don't tell your older brother, understand?"

The third brother responded with an "oh" and said, "I'll keep it a secret for you," while pulling out his phone and turning away.

Zhao Yanan was exasperated, "You big fool, can't you find an excuse to go to the bathroom and send him a message?"

The third brother chuckled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not actually stupid. I just didn't want to lie to you, but I also don't want to hide it from my brother, so..."

Zhou Xiaoruo, with her low tolerance for humor, almost laughed herself into a faint.

Zhao Yanan rolled her eyes, "I really do have a bad stomach. I just don't want him to worry... He's still in the hospital; let him focus on recovering, okay?"

The third brother hesitated for a moment before giving up, "Sister-in-law, you're really not pregnant? Hmm... Are you planning to surprise my brother? I understand, I understand! I'll keep it a secret! ...Ah, we'll have kids to play with in the future, hehe..."

Zhou Xiaoruo laughed uncontrollably, "Hahaha... Help! He wants to play with your kid, hahaha..."

Zhao Yanan: ...

It was hard to believe that someone as sharp as Chu Zhijing had managed to keep this big fool around for over two years.

After leaving the clinic, the third brother drove the two girlfriends to the First City Hospital to visit Liu Kai. Along the way, this dimwit kept fantasizing about his future nephew, grinning incessantly, and kept asking Zhao Yanan, "Sister-in-law, have you had a check-up at the hospital?"

Zhao Yanan replied, "I'm not pregnant."

The third brother asked, "Is it twins? Twins or triplets would be the best!"

Zhao Yanan reiterated, "I'm really not pregnant."

The third brother responded, "Got it, keeping it a secret. I talked too much. Sorry, sorry..."

Zhou Xiaoruo laughed hysterically.

Zhao Yanan: ...

After a moment of speechlessness, Zhao Yanan changed the topic abruptly, asking, "Do you like Xiao Qing?"

The third brother scratched his head, "No, I... like her, hehe. Sister-in-law, you noticed that? Did my brother tell you?"

Zhao Yanan laughed, "You're just short of writing your feelings on your face..."

She glanced outside the window, passing a shopping mall. After a brief thought, she asked the third brother to pull over. Soon, she came back with a set of cosmetics and a lipstick and handed them to the third brother. "Her skin tone and age are perfect for this set. Take it and say you bought it for her."

The third brother, unable to hide his excitement, took the cosmetics and threw them onto the passenger seat, "Sister-in-law, I can't accept this... Oh? This lipstick is a brand! Audi's! It must be worth a lot, right?"

With his penny-pinching demeanor, no one would guess that he was holding $1.5 billion. Zhao Yanan smiled, "She should like it. Invite her to dinner tonight and give it to her generously. Be serious about it."

The third brother replied enthusiastically, "Oh! Okay!"

Zhou Xiaoruo, laughing so hard she could barely breathe, said, "Come on, what era is it? Still inviting someone to dinner? Don't listen to your sister-in-law. She's never been in a relationship; what does she know! Let me teach you. Today's weather is nice, so take her to the seaside, let her enjoy the breeze, tell her some jokes, make her happy, and then give her the gift. Don't be too serious; otherwise, it will seem too formal and make her uncomfortable. Just joke around a bit, let her try the lipstick, and then tell her you want to taste the lipstick yourself. Romantic seaside, romantic moonlight, isn't that perfect?"

The third brother's eyes lit up, "Got it, got it!"

Seeing his excited expression, Zhou Xiaoruo sighed inexplicably and muttered, "When will Pu Cheng ever try my lipstick..."

Zhao Yanan smirked, "It looks like you're drooling."

Zhou Xiaoruo looked dejected, "Nannan, help me with my request to the world's greatest brother-in-law. That jerk listens to him... If not, have your man issue a decree that he must date me!"

Zhao Yanan replied, "In this era of freedom, you can't force it."

Zhou Xiaoruo rolled her eyes, paused, and looked at the third brother, "Hey, big fool, you're quite close to Pu Cheng, so you should know what kind of girl he likes, right? Does he like someone like me? I want the truth."

The third brother hesitated, "I don't know. Anyway, if he doesn't like someone, they... well, they... he's never been in a relationship."

The third brother broke out in a cold sweat from his own words. If he hadn't managed his mouth earlier, Old Fourth's cross would have had a hundred and eight holes in it tonight.

Zhao Yanan was puzzled, "Your brother said he was deeply hurt by his ex; how come you say he's never been in a relationship? Big fool, you're not being honest."

The third brother replied, "I don't know how deep the hurt was, but it's definitely buried deep."

Zhou Xiaoruo asked, "Just tell me, I don't mind the past. When was his last relationship? What did she look like? Was she prettier than me?"

The third brother coughed a few times, "I remember, his last relationship was... well, last time!"

After visiting Liu Kai, it was already afternoon. Zhou Xiaoruo took a taxi home, while Zhao Yanan, exhausted, had the third brother drive her home.

She didn't want Chu Yuxuan to see her like this; that cunning man would surely guess that she had undergone physical therapy.

Around nine in the evening, Chu Yuxuan was dropped off at home by Old Fourth. Opening the bedroom door, he found Zhao Yanan sleeping soundly. Chu Yuxuan smiled and quietly climbed into bed, gently pulling his wife into his arms and placing a tender kiss on her forehead.

Moonlight gently poured through the window, and in the quiet bedroom where every needle could be heard, Chu Yuxuan's heartbeat drowned out the whispered "Wife, I love you."

Zhao Yanan was in deep sleep. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable in her sleep, she nestled closer to Chu Yuxuan's neck and murmured two words, "Yuxuan..."

On the other side, Old Fifth had dinner with Jin Shuhan. Since the incident, Jin Shuhan had become much more gloomy. Fortunately, Old Fifth, being the smooth talker he was, kept telling jokes, managing to make her laugh continuously. Compared to this foreign hacker, the third brother was truly... hard to describe.

On the romantic seaside, with romantic moonlight, Xiao Qing held the cosmetics that the third brother had given her, looking at them with a puzzled expression. In reality, those two strategists were not as considerate as Chu Yuxuan thought. Xiao Qing had no interest in cosmetics; she'd rather be given a gun and could happily play with it for a long time.

Last time, the M200 was personally delivered to her by the third brother, and it had excited her so much that she hadn't slept all night.

Now, the third brother was unwrapping the lipstick and persistently encouraging Xiao Qing to try it. Xiao Qing looked troubled and eventually refused, "Brother San, don't treat me like a girl. I actually don't like these things."

The third brother was taken aback and chuckled, "Hold on, let me try it first..."

Xiao Qing watched in astonishment as the third brother licked the lipstick. She was dumbfounded.

"Pah..." The third brother made a grimace, "This Audi brand has a weird taste! I won't buy their products again! Hmph... Xiao Qing, next time I'll get you something tastier!"

Xiao Qing:

More than half an hour later, Old Fourth drove back to the Emerald Lake district. After getting out of the car and preparing to close the door, his hand suddenly froze as he looked up at the mountain forest behind the villa area, his eyes suddenly filled with killing intent.

In the mountain forest, two figures lurked in the darkness. A man wearing a clown mask leaned against a tree trunk and sneered, "Oh... so accurate intuition? Hehe... really scary!"
