Xia Tian, who was happy about having settled the matter with Qiu Mengyun's parents, suddenly heard news about her second brother.

He complained gloomily, "Why didn't you tell me about your second brother? You were completely unprepared, and it put me in a very passive position!"

Qiu Mengyun: "Didn't I say that?"

Xia Tian nodded with certainty: "Of course not. Otherwise, with my style of doing things, how could I not prepare a gift for your second brother?"

Qiu Mengyun: "Well, just pretend I didn't say anything! But I didn't expect my second brother to come home for dinner so suddenly. He's usually busy with company matters and usually only comes home once every ten days or half a month."

Xia Tian seemed to remember something and asked with a vigilant look on his face: "Since you have a second brother, do you also have an older brother?"

Qiu Mengyun rolled her eyes: "You are talking nonsense. If there is no big brother, how did the title of second brother come about?"

Xia Tian asked, "What about your eldest brother? What does he do? Where is he now? Will he suddenly come back?"

Qiu Mengyun shook her head: "Don't worry about that. My eldest brother is in the army. He usually only comes back once a year. You definitely won't run into him this time."

Xia Tian: "Oh, that's not bad, you just need to deal with your second brother. By the way, why didn't you tell me before that you have two older brothers?"

Qiu Mengyun: "Not two, but three."

"Ah? You have a third brother? Will your third brother come back? Should I prepare a gift for him in advance?" Xia Tian said in surprise.

It was not until now that he realized that this fake boyfriend of his was really a failure.

Qiu Mengyun had already known his family thoroughly, but he didn't even know how many people were in the family.

Qiu Mengyun: "Don't worry, my third brother runs a company in another city and doesn't have time to come back. You don't have to worry too much. After my unremitting efforts, my third brother's attitude towards you is pretty good."

"Then what does your second brother like? Otherwise, after we finish our meal, we can go out for a walk and find some gifts for him." After pondering for a moment, Xia Tian decided to give the gift first.

As the saying goes, the more gifts you give, the less blame you will get!

Qiu Mengyun quickly shook her head: "Don't do that. Ever since my second brother took over the company, he hates people giving him gifts the most."

"What about your sister-in-law? What does she like? Since your second brother doesn't like it, it's the same for us to please your sister-in-law. If she can speak well of us at that time, I believe this hurdle will not be a problem." Xia Tian's eyes rolled and he thought of another idea.

Qiu Mengyun laughed and said, "Haha! Then you've made a wrong calculation. My second brother is still single."

"What are you two talking about in the back? You look so happy? Come on, get in the car and we're going out to eat."

Hearing Qiu Mengyun's sweet laughter, Qiu's mother called out to the two people walking behind her.

Perhaps because the gift Xia Tian gave was powerful enough, the meal was quite warm and cozy.

As soon as she finished her meal, Qiu Mengyun pulled Xia Tian's arm and stood up.

"Dad, Mom, you guys can go back by yourselves later! This is Xia Tian's first time here, and I want to take him out for a walk."

Qiu Liming frowned and said, "It's so hot in the middle of the day, how can it get better? You might as well take Xiaoxia home and rest for a while. He must be sleepy after just finishing his meal."

Qiu Mengyun retorted, "We're not sleepy at all. It's so hot outside, why don't we go to the indoor mall?"

Mother Qiu rolled her eyes at her husband Qiu Liming and said, "Why are you talking so much, old man? It's normal for young people who have just started dating to want to go out for a walk!"

"If you go back with me, it will be so inconvenient for both of us to be at home!"

Qiu Liming then realized that these two people wanted to go out and find some private space.

He immediately smiled and nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, and remember to come back for dinner in the evening!"

Qiu Mengyun waved her hand: "Don't worry, we will go back to buy food in advance tonight. I'm still waiting to show you Xia Tian's cooking skills."

After saying that, he no longer cared about his parents' reactions and simply pulled Xia Tian away.

Xia Tian didn't even have time to say goodbye. He just waved and disappeared outside the box door.

Looking at the two people's departing figures, Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Haha, that's great. It seems that the relationship between the two of them is quite good."

Qiu Liming also nodded in agreement, "Well, although Xiao Xia is young, it can be seen that he is very caring. I believe Meng Yun will not be bullied if she goes out with him."

After leaving the hotel, Qiu Mengyun slowed down her pace.

She looked at Xia Tian and asked, "Xia Tian, are you sleepy? If you are, I will take you to another hotel and get a room for you to rest for a while."

"I was so anxious to bring you out because I was afraid that after we went back with them, my mother would pester you with questions again."

Xia Tian shook his head: "No, I can't sleep when I think about having to deal with your difficult second brother at night."

Looking at Xia Tian's melancholy expression, Qiu Mengyun said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Xia Tian."

Xia Tian stared at her warily. "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? Tell me the truth, what have you done to offend me?"

"You didn't read my diary secretly while I was not at home?"

Qiu Mengyun was surprised and said, "Ah? You still keep a diary? Tell me where you keep it secretly. I promise I won't peek."

Xia Tian rolled his eyes at her: "Are you dreaming? Do you think I'm stupid? How could I tell you such a confidential matter?"

"Since you didn't peek at my diary, what did you do behind my back? Did you secretly check my browsing history on my phone?"

Qiu Mengyun said with a look of disgust: "Stop guessing. Who wants to see the mess in your browser?"

Xia Tian said with a look of grief and indignation: "You must have seen it, otherwise how would you know what I looked at on the browser?"

"You...you're really going too far. You're invading my privacy. I'm going to sue you."

Qiu Mengyun said angrily, "Don't make yourself too dramatic. The reason I apologized to you is that I think your family is so kind and easy to get along with."

"But if you accompany me home, not only will you have to sacrifice several priceless treasures, but you will also have to work hard to please them. This is too unfair to you."

Hearing Qiu Mengyun's sincerity, Xia Tian chuckled and waved his hands: "So this is what you are talking about. You scared me."

"You don't have to feel bad about this. I did all this voluntarily."

"Besides, we originally agreed to act for each other and help each other deal with the pressure from our families to get married."

"You made my family so happy before, now it's my turn to show off, how could I possibly let you down?"

"The agreement has been signed in black and white. Even if it's for my reputation, I'll pay any price."

Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Thank you!"

As Xia Tian queued up to buy milk tea, Qiu Mengyun couldn't help but murmur, "Are you doing all this just because of that piece of paper?"
