Chapter 218 Take your hand away
A gentle night breeze caressed my face, and the lingering effects of the wine on my cheeks slowly dissipated.
The man beside her moved closer little by little. He glanced at Yunzhi out of the corner of his eye, and his hand, which was hanging by his side, moved slightly and tentatively placed on the back of Yunzhi's hand.
Yunzhi glanced at Cheng Shuyan but said nothing. Her tacit agreement made Cheng Shuyan's eyes light up, and he tightly wrapped his hot palm around her slightly cold hand.
"Zhizhi, I..." Perhaps it was the beautiful moonlight overhead, or perhaps it was the wonderful atmosphere between them, but Cheng Shuyan felt an urge to confess his feelings.
His breathing quickened, his heart raced, and before he could utter the words "I like you," his hand, which was holding Yunzhi's, was violently knocked away by an external force.
With a snap, the tender moment between Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan abruptly vanished completely.
Cheng Shuyan's face instantly turned cold as he looked up at the person who had interrupted his good time.
Under the moonlight, the man's face, both delicate and beautiful yet masculine, came into their view. He had a red beauty mark at the corner of his left eye, a beauty mark that seemed alive, alluring and seductive.
He wore a custom-made light blue sequined suit, the fitted suit hugging his long legs. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He didn't speak, but just standing there quietly, he could bewitch countless young girls.
The man's rosy lips were slightly pursed, his medium-length hair was half-tied up and casually fell to one side of his chest. He casually put one hand in his pocket and looked down at Cheng Shuyan with a disdainful gaze.
Cheng Shuyan frowned even more deeply. He was certain he didn't recognize the man in front of him, but the man's face seemed somewhat familiar. However, he was certain he had never seen this man before, otherwise, with this man's temperament and face, anyone would never forget him.
When did Shanghai get such a rare find?
He pondered for nearly two minutes, confirming that the man's target was indeed him, before finally speaking, "May I ask who you are?"
The man chuckled softly, looking at Cheng Shuyan with a half-smile, "Mr. Cheng and this young lady are in a romantic relationship?"
He didn't answer Cheng Shuyan's question, but instead asked Cheng Shuyan a question in return.
Yunzhi, who was standing to the side, felt a sudden jolt of fear. She had a bad feeling about it. The angry look that the man had just given her felt both familiar and strange. Almost instinctively, she took a step to the other side to distance herself from Cheng Shuyan, and only then did that look disappear.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief; she had just felt like she'd been caught in a puppy love relationship by her family.
Wait, you got caught dating by your family?
Yunzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. The previously blurry memories broke through the barrier at this moment and suddenly became clear. The faces of her family members, which had been blurred, slowly appeared from the other side of the barrier.
He was actually her biological brother in this life! Yun Yun!
Wait, didn't Aunt Wang say that my brother was tied up with some things and wouldn't be returning to China? How come he suddenly appeared here?
Yunzhi unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands, awkwardly trying to pry open the three-bedroom apartment. She never expected that her first meeting with her nominal family member in this life would be under such circumstances. She opened her mouth, about to call him "brother," when Yunyun glanced at her indifferently, as if warning her not to speak.
Whether it was due to bloodline suppression or not, Yunzhi subconsciously shut her mouth.
Cheng Shuyan didn't notice the strange atmosphere between Yunzhi and the man. When he heard the man inquiring about his relationship with Yunzhi, Cheng Shuyan assumed it was another man trying to spy on Yunzhi and immediately turned cold, "What's it to you?"
"Of course it has something to do with me. Taking advantage of a girl under the cover of darkness and alcohol, is this what President Cheng calls gentlemanly conduct?" Yun Yun calmly met Cheng Shuyan's gaze, her voice laced with sarcasm.
Even the most good-tempered person can't maintain their good temper after being inexplicably mocked. Cheng Shuyan successfully turned pale and said, "It's none of your business what happens between us."
"Whether it's my business or not, let Yunzhi say it." Yun Yun raised her chin and looked at Yunzhi, who hadn't spoken yet.
At this moment, Cheng Shuyan realized that something was wrong.
He looked down at Yunzhi, not urging her to speak.
Yunzhi subconsciously touched her nose, "He really knows how to control things..."
Cheng Shuyan's heart sank, and countless guesses surfaced in his mind. But before he could ask, Yunzhi coughed lightly, "Brother, when did you return to the country? Why didn't you tell me?"
elder brother?
Cheng Shuyan's eyes widened suddenly.
He glanced at Yunzhi, then at the clearly displeased Yunyun, and finally understood where the inexplicable sense of familiarity he felt when he saw the man came from. Yunzhi and Yunyun were siblings, and their facial features were five parts similar, especially their lips.
After Cheng Shuyan came to his senses, he was somewhat annoyed by his sudden realization. Not only was he completely unprepared for meeting Yunzhi's family for the first time, but he was also mistaken for a lecher. The unfriendly glances he had just received at the banquet were probably from Yunyun.
"Brother." A wise man knows when to yield, and Cheng Shuyan quickly backed down, sincerely calling him "brother."
Upon hearing the word "brother," Yun Yun's face turned pale and then red. The joy he had felt upon seeing his sister vanished in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Who is your brother? Besides, President Cheng might be older than me. How can he even call me 'brother'?"
This person is shameless.
Zhizhi had only been back in China for a short time when she was targeted by this kind of person. Luckily, he came back early, otherwise, his sister would have been kidnapped.
Yun Yun's current feelings are no less than those of a parent who has worked hard to raise their well-behaved daughter to graduate from a prestigious university, only to have her run off with a blond-haired guy.
Cheng Shuyan knew he was in the wrong; after all, he had taken a liking to someone else's daughter. However, after his regret subsided, he was mostly happy, as today was practically like meeting Yunzhi's parents.
If Yunzhi knew what Cheng Shuyan was thinking, she would definitely be speechless and say that he was really carefree.
“It’s alright, brother. You’re Zhizhi’s brother, so you’re my brother too. Brother, when do you have time? I’ll show you around Haishi. The country has developed so fast these past few years. I can be your tour guide, I’m available anytime.”
Cheng Shuyan pretended not to notice the veiled barbs in Yun Yun's words, and even seized the opportunity to build a relationship.
Even in Country Y, Yun Yun rarely encountered someone as shameless as Cheng Shuyan. He was so angry that he laughed and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, "No need!"
He feels a lump in his throat whenever he sees Cheng Shuyan's face.
He was afraid that Cheng Shuyan would be so angry that he would die if Cheng Shuyan took him to visit the market.
Seeing that Yun Yun was quite angry, Yunzhi quickly changed the subject, "Brother, didn't Aunt Wang say you wouldn't be back for a few more days?"
