Wasn't it Xiao Laosi who saved him?

But when she woke up, he was the one she saw.

It was only then that Tang Yaoyao slowly remembered that in the elevator, she had asked Su Mei to hand over her phone.

At the time, the text message contained the phone numbers of both Xiao Jinhan and his brother.

She wasn't sure who had answered the call.

When she woke up and saw him, she naturally assumed that it was Xiao Jinhan who had come over.

Suddenly, fragments of her hazy memories pieced together a faint aura.

The scent was unfamiliar, yet comforting; it was the aroma of sandalwood.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him suspiciously, then moved a little closer, sniffing the scent on Xiao Jinhan's body. The scent of orchid and musk wafted over, a light, cool fragrance mixed with the smell of herbs, but not pungent.

The scent was captivating, yet it lacked the sandalwood fragrance I remembered…

Xiao Jinhan looked at the doubt in her eyes and said with a slight smile, "It was Fu Xiuchen who saved you."

elder brother……

Tang Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat. She looked around but couldn't see him. A hint of disappointment welled up in her eyes, which had been full of charm.

Her expression clearly showed a young girl's longing for a good husband, yet she had not yet found one.

Xiao Jinhan lowered his eyes slightly, a thin mist forming in them. He recalled Jiang Ci's words, his gaze deepening, his emotions remaining indifferent, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Tang Yaoyao's expression was unintentional; she genuinely wanted to see her brother and wasn't pretending. She opened her eyes and asked softly, "Why didn't Brother Chen come?"

Xiao Jinhan replied, "Yaoyao went down eighteen flights of stairs barefoot to save you, stepped on shards of glass, and got injured."

Yao Yao...

It was that woman again. She squinted slightly, her thoughts drifting to her heavenly voice.

Suddenly, I became unhappy.

She's jealous!

She lacks nothing and rarely has her heart stirred by certain people or things.

This sister Yao Yao, who hasn't been born yet, has such a skill that she always makes Yao Yao's heart ache unexpectedly.

He's a remarkable person.

Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips and said lightly, "Oh."

This means they are unhappy.

Xiao Jinhan noticed her emotions and unconsciously defended his older brother, saying, "Yaoyao is his sister, so naturally he has to take care of her."

Yoho!

Tang Yaoyao looked at him in surprise. Was this guy speaking up for his brother?

So, it seems that Xiao Jinhan never considered her brother as his rival in love, and therefore, he really had no interest in her.

She parted her lips slightly, then suddenly changed her expression, her eyes sparkling with allure: "Brother Xiao~"

Xiao Jinhan frowned.

Do you have a younger sister?

Xiao Jinhan thought of Fu Mengyao and pursed his lips softly, "Yes."

Tang Yaoyao was somewhat surprised and inadvertently thought of Fu Xiuchen, who was an absolute sister-obsessed person.

Xiao Jinhan seemed completely oblivious to her advances. Could it be that he was also a sister-complex?

She licked her lips: "No wonder you spoke up for Brother Chen."

Xiao Jinhan didn't speak, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his low voice unfathomable: "Yaoyao cried, and as her older brother, it's understandable that he felt sorry for her."

I cried...

Tang Yaoyao sneered inwardly. She should be the one crying, having been trapped in the elevator for so long and almost losing her life.

Tang Yaoyao suddenly remembered meeting the two of them at the teahouse before, and how they had a very good relationship.

At this moment, Xiao Jinhan spoke up for his brother. Could it be that he implicitly assumed she was his brother's girlfriend?

Suddenly, she curled her lips into a smile, wanting to tease him, and asked lazily, "Fourth Master, you and Brother Chen are brothers, if I remember correctly, you call him 'brother,' right?"

Xiao Jinhan nodded, sensing a cunning glint in the depths of her clear black and white pupils, and lowered his voice: "Mm."

Tang Yaoyao felt inexplicably pleased. Wouldn't that mean Xiao Laosi thought she was his sister-in-law?

Hahahaha...

She licked her lips: "If I may ask, Fourth Master, what are your requirements for your future sister-in-law?"

Xiao Jinhan looked at her bright smile, as if she were his future sister-in-law.

No requirements.

Tang Yaoyao: "..."

This person isn't taking the bait.

She then asked, "Has Fourth Master ever been in a relationship?"

This question echoed the one he had asked Jiang Ci, and his gaze deepened: "Why does Miss Tang ask that?"

"Of course I want to learn more about... men."

Did he think she wanted to know more about him?

This answer seemed to be within Xiao Jinhan's expectations. He raised his sharp eyebrows slightly, remaining calm and elegant, and asked in return, "Where is Miss Tang?"

Tang Yaoyao: "..."

To be honest, she's never been in a relationship.

I remember when she was still a little fox, she fell in love with the son of the Fox King and had a crush on him for a very long time but never dared to show her affection.

Unexpectedly, her best friend Ling'er acted as matchmaker, and the Fox King's son also fell in love with her, even asking Ling'er to take her to the back mountain for a secret rendezvous.

She foolishly believed it, but her best friend led her into the hunter's trap.

When she was about to die inside, the Fox King's son sacrificed himself with Ling'er, saying that she was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and mocking her brown fur, saying that no one could ever like her in any lifetime.

Only she knows how desperate, sad, and painful she felt at that moment.

In the large family of white foxes, she was an anomaly.

Everyone is lovely, fluffy and white as snow.

She was the only one, with brown hair, like a piece of charcoal.

The Fox King's son and Ling'er are a match made in heaven, while she is just an ugly monster they use for amusement.

The heartless words and the instant she turned away shattered all her hopes.

In the end, it was her benefactor who saved her from the brink of death.

Later, it was said that Ling'er was also abandoned by the Fox King's son, who married a fox with whiter and more beautiful fur. After that, Ling'er disappeared.

All that talk about deep affection leading to a short life is a lie. No man is any good, except for her family, of course.

It was at that time that she vowed never to fall in love with anyone again. Love was a complete illusion, and only by becoming strong could one live a carefree life.

Throughout her life, the only person who truly loved her was herself.

Of course, she wouldn't let Xiao Jinhan know that she had never been in a relationship and had been teased. She smiled slightly, looking very alluring: "Of course I have. If I don't say ten guys, then nine of them."

Xiao Jinhan: "..."

nine……

Tang Yaoyao blinked her bright eyes, giving off a charming and coquettish air, and asked, "Where is Brother Xiao?"

"No."

"What?" She didn't hear clearly, her fox-like eyes full of doubt.

Xiao Jinhan then clarified: "I've never been in a relationship."

Holy crap?!

Tang Yaoyao felt a little suffocated.

It's such a pity she's never been in a relationship; what a waste of such stunning beauty.

But then again, thinking about it, his... cough cough...

It seems normal that they haven't talked about it.

But this woman, who had been through it all in relationships, still smiled respectfully, her eyes crinkling: "Since you've never been in a relationship, you must have very high standards for your partner, right? Brother Xiao, could you tell me about your views on love, hmm?"
