41 -41 Ruanruan Feels a Bit Embarrassed
The call he made to check on her during his busy schedule softened Qin Ruan’s heart.
She felt a wave of emotion washing over her, but more than that, there was a bitterness.
She regretted the defensive wall she built around her heart in her past life and not cherishing everything more.
Standing on the balcony of her dormitory, Qin Ruan idly toyed with the succulents on the plant stand.
“Don’t worry about me, the person in the photos and videos is not me.”
Her voice held an air of indifference, as if she didn’t pay it much mind.
Qin Jingcen fell silent on the other side of the call.
After a long pause, he spoke gently to reassure her: “I’ll handle this.
Don’t let it affect your mood.
If you’re bored at school, go find Amei, let him show you around.”
Anticipating that she might be bored at school tomorrow, her older brother surprisingly suggested she go out and even asked Qin Mei to accompany her.
Such a big brother was truly a rare breed.
Qin Ruan pursed her lips, her originally melancholic face breaking into a brilliant smile.
She feigned seriousness: “Tomorrow is Monday, second brother has classes too, right?”
In M Country.
Astonishment registered across the face of Qin Jingcen, often referred to as the cunning fox of the business world, upon hearing Qin Ruan’s words.
He opened his mouth, his voice tightened, “Second brother?”
Since returning to the Qin Family, Qin Ruan had never addressed the man she knew as her father as such, nor had she ever referred to him and Qin Mei as her brothers.
This mention of “second brother” stirred both excitement and envy in Qin Jingcen.
Ruanruan had never called him big brother, not even when addressing him in conversations.
“Aruan, what did you call Qin Mei just now?”
It took a while for Qin Jingcen to find his own voice.
He was unaware of his expectations, that were filled with nervous hope.
Qin Ruan, with her sharp hearing, sensed his array of complex emotions.
In this life and her last, she owed the three men of the Qin family an address.
Father, big brother, second brother.
They were her dearest family.
Even when she was at her worst, they never gave up on her.
Qin Ruan looked up at the sky, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes.
Her voice was cheerful, hinting at a semblance of intimacy: “I call him second brother.”
Second brother?
Did Ruanruan calling Qin Mei “second brother” mean she was starting to accept them?
Qin Jingcen’s heartbeat quickened, an excitement greater than signing a contract worth billions took hold of him.
“What about me, Ruanruan?”
He was eagerly anticipating his sister to call him brother.
Qin Jingcen was upfront, completely losing his usual ease seen in the business world.
That little brat Qin Mei had received his sister’s approval, he couldn’t fall behind.
“Big brother, you’re my big brother.”
Qin Ruan called out affectionately and tenderly, like a demure little girl.
“Good girl, Ruanruan!”
Qin Jingcen’s voice trembled, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Understanding his emotional overload, Qin Ruan stayed silent.
She quietly listened to the heavy breathing coming from the other side of the phone.
After a few minutes, Qin Ruan took the initiative to ask: “When are you and father coming back?”
“In a week.”
Qin Jingcen’s emotions had calmed, his voice sounding as elegant and pleasant as ever.
Qin Ruan made a noise of acknowledgement, then added: “Big brother, the scandal back home might affect the Qin Group’s stock volatility, causing some losses.
Can I handle this matter?
I promise to resolve it within two days.”
“Of course!”
Qin Jingcen responded quickly, without hesitation.
Even if Qin Ruan asked for the moon, he would be the first to apply for the moon’s ownership.
Even though this was utterly absurd.
After confirming her father and big brother’s return date and receiving the right to manage the scandal affecting Qin Group’s profits, Qin Ruan expressed concern for Qin Jingcen before hanging up.
In fact, she was a little embarrassed.
