Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow. "The more they oppose it, the more I want to go. There are only three of us siblings, free and unburdened, while the Feng Family is vast and sprawling. If I can't go, then I'll stir up trouble at the roots; otherwise, it will never end."
Nie Langyuan gave a thumbs up. "Impressive, but I'm afraid you might get crushed. Besides my brother, the Nie Family knows about your existence and they might take action. What will you do?"
Yun Zhi Yue replied nonchalantly, "That's something your brother needs to consider. He is the head of the Nie Family in this generation. With so many family members meddling in his affairs, what does he think he is? A breeding tool?"
What kind of head of the family is someone who is ridden over by others? What kind of man is he if his marriage is restricted by elders? There's no need to keep relatives who don't listen; am I right?"
Nie Zhui didn't argue back but pinched her cheek gently. "I can handle everything you mentioned, but I want to know what you plan to do about Nie Xi."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes flickered for a moment. "What do you mean 'what to do'? I'll just take him with me to the capital; he can't leave me!"
Nie Langyuan was taken aback. "What are you doing? You're close to my brother and also to Nie Xi. Are you normal?"
Yun Zhi Yue looked exasperated. "You're the one who's not normal! I'm not with your brother, am I? Besides, even if I were, being close to Nie Xi isn't wrong; isn't he your brother's son?"
Without Nie Xi, would I even know your brother? He’s just a bit twisted in his mind due to his illness, but he's not a bad person. He enjoys staying at my house and is as cheerful as any normal boy. We have our own relationship; I have no reason to reject him."
Nie Langyuan stood up in frustration. "Brother, you really need to think this through. I don't want her as my sister-in-law; I can't stand her."
Sister-in-law? Your brother really has a tendency to overthink things.
In the office with just the two of them, Nie Zhui didn’t say anything further but lowered his head to kiss her.
Yun Zhi Yue felt uncomfortable and certainly wouldn’t agree to a kiss. Their relationship was like that of two people who hadn't yet crossed the line into being more than friends, each harboring their own thoughts.
Nie Zhui knew she was trying to use him and that Feng Rujiao held the title of fiancée, so she could never have an official status with him. Still, he chose to linger around her like a persistent pest.
Not wanting to get too close, this time Nie Zhui didn’t seem inclined to let go easily. He directly asked, "If kissing isn’t allowed and getting close isn’t either, isn’t that a bit too fake? Or do you think I'm just fooling around?"
Yun Zhi Yue found herself pressed against the office desk as Nie Zhui leaned down over her, holding her hands tightly with their fingers intertwined.
He stared at her body beneath him as if he wanted to mold her into his very being. No matter how she felt about it, his intention remained singular: he wanted her.
Just as it seemed her clothes would be torn apart, Yun Zhi Yue felt numb; this was truly unexpected—no kissing and going straight for it?
Then the phone rang just in time, interrupting what was about to happen.
Yun Zhi Yue quickly got up and said, "I’ll take this call first."
The caller was none other than Nie Xi, that little troublemaker. One could only say that this kid had an accurate intuition; his first question was: "Sister, you haven’t been unfaithful, have you?"
The answer was a firm no. His body was gradually recovering due to Yue Shi’s care; there hadn’t been any signs of nosebleeds or anything similar lately.
Since they were heading to the capital, today Yue Shi finished handling matters early and took Nie Xi home with him.
Nie Xi looked at Yun Zhi Yue's refreshed appearance and was utterly delighted, holding onto her tightly. However, upon catching a whiff of Nie Zhui's scent, a hint of something unhealthy flickered in her eyes.
Sister really isn't behaving; she must have been with someone else.
Oblivious to the danger, Yun Zhi Yue enjoyed a lovely dinner with her family. After they hurriedly arranged the handover of responsibilities, she went upstairs with Nie Xi.
Since the first night she arrived, Nie Xi had not gone downstairs again; she had been sleeping with her ever since.
After a refreshing shower, Yun Zhi Yue climbed into bed and nestled into Nie Xi's embrace. Nie Xi's hand slipped under her nightgown, teasing her gently, prompting Yun Zhi Yue to plead, "Stop it; let's just sleep."
