"Why" Ni Xuanyi was taken aback. Previously, Ruan Xi had urged her to come over immediately; why would he say such a thing now

Ruan Xi’s expression seemed like she wanted to cry. She held onto Ni Xuanyi's hand and sighed softly, "My brother just told me that he likes you."

"What" Ni Xuanyi was so surprised that she laughed, "How could my brother possibly like me We only met tonight!"

"He said he fell in love with you at first sight," Ruan Xi lamented and stomped her feet.

"Fell in love with me at first sight No way!" Ni Xuanyi found this unbelievable. She waved her hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. Let’s discuss you and Meng Meng instead. I’ll leave right after meeting Meng Meng; my brother won’t be able to see me anyway."

Ruan Xi’s big eyes were red with tears as she stood rooted to the spot, muttering to herself, "How am I going to explain this to Meng Meng What should I tell him He’ll definitely hate me now!"

"Sis Ruan Xi! What's wrong" Ni Xuanyi tugged at her.

"Xuanxuan, dealing with the issue between me and Meng Meng isn’t a major problem anymore. With my brother liking you, it’s not going to be easy for you to leave," Ruan Xi said in great anguish.

Ni Xuanyi finally realized the seriousness of the situation and frowned, "How could this happen Don’t your parents have any authority over you You should tell them so that they can talk to your brother!"

Ruan Xi led Ni Xuanyi towards her room while saying, "Currently, my older brother is our family’s patriarch. My mom and dad have to listen to him!"

"Given how frail he looks like a scholar, could he really be the patriarch in such an environment" Ni Xuanyi scratched her head.

Ruan Xi shut the door and with a heavy heart, asked, "Do you think he’s incapable of being our family’s patriarch"

Ni Xuanyi suddenly remembered the cold aura around Rao Zhao and nodded vigorously, "He could do it! He really can do it! But he wouldn’t be so unreasonable to keep me here regardless of whether I like him or not!"

Ruan Xi sighed softly. "My older brother is my half-brother from the same father but different mother. His mom divorced dad a few years ago and left with him, enduring much hardship outside that led to my brother developing asthma. His personality also turned very gloomy and ruthless.

Later on when Dad was injured, the doctor said he couldn’t have any more children. So he brought back my brother for inheritance of the family business.

My brother is extremely difficult to get along with, with a strange personality. Most people don't meet his standards and he doesn’t like talking to anyone, not even concerning family meetings or matters related to his network; he never says anything throughout them, thinking it dirty to talk to those people. He has his two bodyguards convey any messages."

Ni Xuanyi suddenly recalled when on the plane, Rao Zhao only circled items on the menu without speaking to anyone.

"My brother doesn't talk much, but he turns all his thoughts into actions. If anyone dares to defy him, he will use various methods to make them submit. He is ruthless and gradually replaced my father's position, becoming the dominant figure in this area."

These years, he has rejected any woman from getting close to him, and outsiders say that he might be sick or that he cut off his arm. But he pays no heed to such rumors and consistently ignores everyone.

He also has an extremely severe obsession with cleanliness; even the most basic handshake is never done by him, let alone hugging or kissing anyone. In these years, you are the first girl whom he admitted to liking, the first one he agreed to have meals and chat with."

Ni Xuanyi listened to Ruan Xi's words, unsure whether she should feel lucky or sad that such a man would take an interest in her!

It was highly unusual for a man to possess these traits, yet now this abnormal man has developed feelings for me.

"Xuanxuan, if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have let you come back. Even if I did bring you here, I shouldn't have taken the convenience of riding my brother's private jet. If you came to find me alone at home, he definitely wouldn't see you; right now he doesn't want to meet any strangers," Ruan Xi felt guilty and held onto Ni Xuanyi while repeatedly apologizing.

Ni Xuanyi calmed her turbulent emotions and patted Ruan Xi's back. "Sis Ruan, if it's meant to be, there's no avoiding it. If my fate is destined for this, then nothing anyone does can change that. Let's not talk about your brother now; tell me more about what happened between you and Meng Mang."

Upon hearing Ni Xuanyi's question, Ruan Xi blushed and said, "Meng Mang had a friend who recently celebrated his birthday, we went to celebrate for him together. We drank quite a bit of alcohol, and before I knew it, we ended up staying together that night; it was the day you called us."

"Okay." Ni Xuanyi nodded in response, not wanting to press Ruan Xi any further if she felt uncomfortable.

"Meng Meng was already unhappy about being with me after drinking, and when he heard that I had taken your call, he got even angrier. He shouted at me, saying that I deliberately wanted you to know about it in order to sow discord between us. At the time, I was also very angry and told him that I had someone I liked and that I didn't like him at all, telling him not to be delusional!

When Meng Meng heard me say this, he became completely furious and slapped me. It was the first time in my life that I had suffered such委屈, so I ran out of his house crying; unexpectedly, my brother saw me.

My relationship with my brother is quite good. Although he doesn't usually interfere much in my affairs, he absolutely does not tolerate others bullying me."

Ni Xuanyi suddenly thought of Li An; in this aspect, Ruan Xiao was no less than Li An.

"My brother has known for a long time that I like Meng Meng. However, given Meng Meng's stubborn nature, it wasn't easy to force him into anything. But after he found out about what happened between me and Meng Meng, he wouldn't let Meng Meng off the hook anymore; he cut off all of Meng Meng’s business networks and demanded that he take responsibility for me.

Meng Meng's character you know as well. He originally felt very guilty towards me, but my brother pushing him like this made him even more agitated. When it came to marrying me, he wouldn't commit either way, and when my brother saw his attitude, he got angry and locked him up to force him into marriage with me."

Hearing Ruan Xi's account of the events, Ni Xuanyi was at a loss for words; such melodramatic happenings actually took place in their lives. She hugged Ruan Xi, "Sis, don't worry anymore. Where is Meng Meng now I'll go see him tomorrow and have a good chat with him. Actually, you two are really quite suitable for each other!"

"Xuanxuan, do you really not blame me for taking advantage of being drunk to snatch away Meng Meng, who loves you so much" Ruan Xi was an honest girl and had always been troubled by this matter.

"I don't blame you. Even if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be with Meng Meng anyway. I have no feelings for him; I've always treated him as my brother." Ni Xuanyi lay on her back. "Don't worry, he actually has some feelings towards you, and since he's a man who is willing to take responsibility, he will definitely marry you."ly a place not cheap to consume at."Miss, are you here to find someone or do you have an appointment" The receptionist smiled politely at Yan Luoxi."I'm not looking for anyone and I don't have an appo...
