Puzzled, Mo Zhan raised his eyes to look at her.

She beamed, "Brother, didn't you say you were away on a business trip and couldn't make it back?"

"..." The hand gripping the suitcase handle tightened.

"Did they come back specifically to protect me?"

"No."

Fearing she might misunderstand, Mo Zhan quickly replied, his tone slightly flustered.

Rong Shang gave a meaningful "Oh," and finally, she met his gaze. From his eyes, she realized that he had hung up the phone earlier, and had specially booked a plane ticket to come back tonight in case something happened to her.

But this guy is stubborn and won't say anything.

The woman's intense gaze remained fixed on him, making even Mo Zhan, who wasn't nervous, tense up under her gaze.

He turned his face slightly away and looked at his shadow on the ground, saying, "You don't need—" protection either.

He hadn't finished speaking.

He felt a tightness around his waist as the woman in front of him suddenly hugged him.

The gravity pressed down on him without warning, and Mo Zhan even took a step back.

My back has long since stiffened into a straight line.

The light in front of the door was dim. Mo Zhan slowly lowered his eyes and heard the woman in his arms say, "Brother, thank you."

These familiar phrases still appear quite frequently these days.

And the last time she said that, she... she even kissed him.

Suddenly remembering that time, Mo Zhan pursed his lips, his eyes showing a hint of panic.

Within seconds, he quickly pushed Rong Shang away.

"If you want to say thank you in the future, you can just stand up and say it."

The man seemed a little shy. His indifferent voice had just rang in her ears when, in the next second, he had already pulled his suitcase and walked quickly past her.

But as he walked over, he added, "No need to lay a hand on me."

They are all adults.

They are still siblings in name only.

Don't just kiss and hug all the time.

Of course, it was only later that Rong Shang learned that Mo Zhan's luggage was not from his business trip, but rather clothes and toiletries that he had specially packed at his residence after returning from his flight.

Because he plans to stay here.

If a suspicious person appears, she will feel uneasy regardless of whether he is near or far from her.

There's only one thing: living with her.

Only in that way can we keep track of her movements at all times.

It's easy for people to control their mouths, but controlling their hearts is not so simple.

Although Mo Zhan told her to behave herself, when she actually sat quietly to the side, he would occasionally look up and steal glances at her.

After not seeing her for several days, Mo Zhan didn't know why he kept dreaming about her every night after falling asleep.

Just like now, he wants to see her as if it's something he can't control.

The last time, Mo Zhan glanced at her casually, but the woman suddenly turned her head to look at him.

The moment their eyes met, he was caught red-handed.

The woman smiled languidly, her captivating smile reflected in his pupils. "Brother, have you seen enough?"

Panicked, Mo Zhan's breath hitched, "..."

"I don't know what you're talking about," he began to feign ignorance.

Rong Shang, however, was not about to let him go. “Brother, have you suddenly realized that my little sister is so beautiful and charming? I don’t know why, but I just can’t help thinking about her and wanting to see her.”

It's quite funny to say those words in his tone.

However, Rong Shang was not joking.

Mo Zhan was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that she would see through his secret thoughts.
