Tang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly, and when she curled her lips into a smile, it had a hint of wickedness: "Did you say that?"

"Yes, that's what my brother said." Fu Xiuchen nodded, his gaze fixed on her, even his clear voice carrying a hint of gentleness.

The candy in Tang Yaoyao's mouth seemed even sweeter.

"Then please tell me in detail, brother, how many brothers do I have?"

Fu Xiuchen: "..."

His expression shifted slightly, and following her gaze, he saw that she was looking at the study in front of him.

"Yao'er, even if I tell you their names now, you won't remember them. Shall I take you to see their study?"

Tang Yaoyao had no objections. She just wanted to know how many brothers she had so that when she met them, she wouldn't be like a clueless simpleton.

"Fifteen of these rooms are your brothers' offices."

Tang Yaoyao: "...!!!"

fifteen!?

This number is just too outrageous!

She suddenly wondered if her parents remembered each and every one of them.

Fu Xiuchen continued, "Two of the studies are empty."

Tang Yaoyao stayed by his side, and even though she was deeply shocked, she did not interrupt him.

“These study rooms are arranged in order. When we were little, we all studied here. The first study room is mine, and the second one is naturally your second brother’s.”

Tang Yaoyao continued counting and asked, "If we count this, including the second floor, there are a total of twenty-four rooms. What are the other rooms used for?"

"They're all used to store books that are quite valuable to my younger brothers."

Tang Yaoyao understood. Her gaze fell on the third room, and she gently pursed her lips: "Brother, this must be Third Brother's room."

"Um."

Third brother...

Suddenly, a handsome face that she hadn't thought of for a long time popped into Tang Yaoyao's mind.

He was both sinister and handsome, his entire being seemingly shrouded in darkness, devoid of any light.

"My third brother...could it be Xiao Jingyan?"

Fu Xiuchen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "He is the third young master of the Xiao family, so how could he become the third young master of my Fu family?"

Tang Yaoyao smiled: "That's true."

Fu Xiuchen felt a pang of sadness at the thought that his sister would be recognizing her brothers and that they would have even less time to spend together in the future.

I wonder if she will still act like this with him now that she has more older brothers.

Bringing herself back to reality, she said in a clear, gentle voice, "He's still abroad. I'll arrange for you two to meet when he gets back, okay?"

"Mm." She nodded.

"This is your fourth brother's study. Would you like to go in and take a look?" Fu Xiuchen asked for her opinion.

Tang Yaoyao shook her head: "No, everyone has their own privacy. I believe the same goes for my brothers. It's not good to enter their offices without their permission."

She couldn't let her brothers dislike her before they even got to know each other, otherwise it would be even more difficult to get them to agree to be family.

“Hmm.” Fu Xiuchen had no objection.

Then, I followed him forward: "This is your fifth brother's office. He rarely comes home because of work. I haven't seen him for about two years."

Tang Yaoyao thought to herself, "This guy is a workaholic."

“This is your sixth brother’s office. We’ve already accepted it. Mother said that Uncle Huo’s condition has improved and he should be back soon.”

When Sixth Brother was mentioned, Tang Yaoyao's expression turned serious for a few seconds. If he wasn't sent by her eldest brother to protect her, then who could it be?

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Jinhan's study.
