Before Jun could even curse his existence to death, Nian swiftly passed by him and treated him as if he wasn't even there. Which only added fuel to the already burning fire in Jun's heart.
Instead, Nian ran to Ai's side at lightning speed and jumped onto hug her. "My dear future sister-in-law~ How are you?"
Ai, who was hugged out of nowhere, stared at him blankly.
"Bro. Nian! Get away from her!" Jun exclaid and charged towards him at lightning speed too.
Nian pulled Ai in front of him and grinned. "How can you be so heartless to hit your girlfriend?"
"Ai. Get aside," Jun ordered in a quiet voice.
Ai said, "I cannot move."
Nian had firmly held onto her shoulders to restrict his protection cover from moving an inch. "Don't be so an, Jun. Can a brother not co to visit his brother?"
"No. That rule is not applicable for you or Bro Jian. Now, get out."
Nian harrumphed. "I didn't co here to et you anyway. I ca to give my greetings to my cute future sister-in-law, Zhou Ai!"
Jun's mouth twitched. sheepishly grinned and looked at Ai. "Zhouuuu Aiiiii. Congratulations on your relationship with Jun. I know he will keep you super happy but if you have any concerns, you can always co to ~ I will set him straight!"
Ai blinked once and replied. "Thank you for the offer but if I have any concerns, I will directly talk about them to Jun."
Jun smirked, feeling pleased.
Nian's brow twitched. He waved his hand. "You don't have to be so reserved with . Didn't we have such a good ti making chocolates that day? That reminds ! So you were making chocolates for Jun!"
Ai frowned. "Good ti? I rember you only crying and yelling."
Jun shot deathly beams at Nian which clearly said, 'I know she is super bad at making sweets, but how dare you scream at her? I should cut off your voice.'
"Hehe...Hehehe..." Nian made her sit on the couch and gave her shoulders a good massage. "I wasn't screaming. I was just teaching you. You enjoyed our class so much. Right? Right? Riiiiiiight?" The last 'Right?' was really desperate.
Jun narrowed his eyes. "What are you really here for?"
"I just ca to et Zhou Ai. She is family now!" Nian declared.
Ai widened her eyes and looked up at him. "Even after what happened yesterday?"
"Of course. Everybody is rattled a bit, but they will soon accept you~ It just needs so ti. In the end, everybody wants Jun's happiness and if that is in you, then they will welco you with open arms."
Jun looked somber and faced Nian with a wry smile. "That everybody doesn't include Jin."
Nian stared at him. "He will co around too. You don't have to worry about what he said. He doesn't really like Zhou Ai that way."
Ai asked, "Then why would he say that?"
Nian lowered his head and t her eyes with a complicated gaze.
For the first ti...I don't know what my brother is thinking either, Zhou Ai.
He smiled. "Forget about it."
Ai felt as if he was avoiding answering her question, but she didn't press on.
Nian laughed. "Forget about the family drama for now! Let's talk about important stuff."
Jun coughed.
Such a big confrontation happened and you are labeling it as a family drama? He shook his head.
He sneered. "What is this important stuff? I know it's not about eting Ai. You have so hidden agenda."
Nian scratched his head. "You know so well."
"Out with it."
Nian, who was grinning until now, burst into tears as he hugged Ai. "Zhou Aiiii! You are the only one who can be my savior!"
Jun emanated an even deadlier aura now. He looked like a hurricane ready to gobble his brother. "First of all, stop hugging her like that, or I will break your arms."
"Hey! This is brother and sister bonding ti! Stay away from us!" He glared at him.
"..."
Nian ignored him and focused his attention on Ai. He cried. "You were my buttering machine all this ti, and I didn't even know! Life is so unfair."
Ai was clueless. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I am talking about the one and only woman who has made a super important place in my heart! I want to marry her and have lots of cute children with her!" He sobbed. "But my love story has a lot of roadblocks!"
Jun's jaw dropped. "You...you have soone you like?"
"Why are you giving that strange look!? Yes, I am in love!" Nian scowled.
"That pitiful woman..." Jun sighed.
"..."
Ai asked, "Who is this woman? Oh. I rember. You made a poster outside your bakery that a woman you were interested in was angry at you."
"Yes! I am talking about that sa woman!"
"What's the problem? She didn't forgive you after you confessed and apologized?"
Nian sniffled. "No. In fact, she beat up."
Jun's eyes sparkled. "She did that? Who is that powerhouse? She is aweso!"
"Shut up!"
Ai brought his attention back to the important discussion. "Why did she beat you though?"
"Because of you! Because I scolded the person who she treats as her sister! Xing Bi!"
"..."
Jun - "..."
Ai blinked several tis and her only response at the end was, "Huh?"
Nian wiped his eyes. "Listen to my story!"
And then he proceeded from the beginning and told everything that happened between them until now.
Ai was at a loss. She rembered she heard Xing Bi saying that she was at the banquet too. But she had no idea she had landed into such deep trouble.
No wonder she didn't pick my calls when I tried reaching out to her the next day...
There was a stretch of long silence when Jun burst into loud laughter. "Shit. That's gold what you did there! Bro, for the first ti I am so happy that you played your pranks," he spoke while clutching his stomach as he laughed, "because now I can see you in deep shit, and I am so happy! You deserve it. I told you. Your pranks are gonna get to you one day," he sneered, "But you never listened to . Now, pay the price!"
