Chapter 91 You're not my husband?! (2) "I'm my brother"...
Two minutes later, Fu Li was asked to get off the plane. He neatly folded the tissue and put it in his pocket.
When he reappeared in public, he looked radiant and full of energy, as if he had just won five million.
After getting off the plane and retrieving his luggage, he remembered the tissues and decided to add the person's contact information first.
The young man then took out the thin tissue from his pocket and casually reached for his phone in his pants pocket.
At that very moment, fate revealed its power.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in through the window, and Fu Li lost her grip on the tissue, which was blown high into the air and drifted away into the distance.
"Oh no!" the young man exclaimed anxiously.
At this moment, the system also issued a warning in your mind: [Host, warning! Warning! This is your only connection with the male lead. If you lose that tissue, you may never be able to contact him again, and the mission will not be completed!]
So why did you have to take it out while you were carrying your luggage?!
Hearing the system's reprimand, Fu Li was speechless—who knew this would happen!
Soon, those around saw a Beta youth dragging large bags of luggage, chasing after a white tissue paper floating in mid-air, running wildly through the terminal. The scene was both outrageous and hilarious.
Fu Li chased after the tissue all the way to the escalator entrance, only to watch helplessly as it floated down from the fifth floor and disappeared from sight.
system:【......】
Fu Li: ......
Five minutes later, the young man arrived on the first floor, panting. His eyes widened as he scanned the floor like a robot vacuum cleaner, still thinking: How could someone cause such a huge mess?
Just as he was about to discuss with the system, "System, could you please replay the scene where the male protagonist wrote down the phone number, so we can pretend that piece of paper wasn't lost?"
But then a hesitant voice came from the system:
[The male protagonist has been detected nearby.]
【Host, why don't you go directly to him?】
Fu Li was taken aback when she heard this, but of course she said "okay".
He was wondering, "It's been so long, why hasn't the male lead left yet?"
Turning around, I saw a familiar-looking person sitting in front of a coffee shop on the first floor.
His profile revealed deep-set eyes and sharp, handsome features. He tilted his head back and gave the waiter a gentle smile. He held a coffee cup in his hand, his pale fingers like precious ornaments.
Fu Li frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant: "Is he... the male lead?"
"You mean the person in front of the coffee shop? The test results show it's him." The system gave an affirmative answer.
Fu Li had been staring at the other person for a full five hours on the plane, scrutinizing his clothes and appearance, and something just didn't seem right.
The face did match, but the clothes he was wearing had changed to a white shirt, and his hairstyle was different from before. A casual glance from him seemed to be filled with a kind of tenderness, giving him a dashing and handsome appearance, unlike the cold and intimidating aura he exuded on the plane.
Lost in thought, Fu Li pulled her suitcase and walked over.
As I got closer, I noticed the patch on the back of his neck had become even more vibrant. Two buttons were undone at the collar of his white shirt, subtly revealing his defined collarbone. He exuded a dashing yet unrestrained air.
Sensing someone approaching, the man turned around, revealing his handsome face to Fu Li. His hair, which had been combed back, fell down, with a few strands framing his ears. Paired with his deep, beautiful eyes, the disheveled look possessed a mysterious and broken beauty.
Looking at the Beta youth's seemingly lost in thought, the other person tilted his head and gave a polite smile, "May I ask what brings you here?"
Fu Li wondered in a daze, "How could a person's outfit change so much in just half an hour?"
So he asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Luo?"
Although he couldn't remember the exact phone number the man had written, he clearly remembered the sharp strokes of the character "洛" (Luo) next to the string of numbers.
Upon hearing the other person pronounce his surname correctly, Luo Ran's lazy eyes instantly changed, and his gaze became more scrutinizing as he nodded solemnly, saying, "It's me."
"What is your name?"
But the Beta youth seemed even more confused than him. His bright, watery eyes scanned him up and down, as if he couldn't understand something.
Then he stammered, "Um, we just met on the plane. It was first class from Anderma Province in D country back home. I even asked you for your contact information, do you remember?"
Beta spoke politely, and judging from her clothes and the luggage she was carrying, she seemed to be an ordinary person. She had a very delicate appearance, and her shy and uneasy demeanor resembled that of a small animal just peeking out of its nest.
Upon hearing his description, the man's expression suddenly became very subtle.
His eyes flickered several times, as if he had thought of something, then a calm smile spread across his face, as if he were recalling something: "Ah, it's you. Of course I remember. We just talked not long ago, didn't we?"

Luo Ran and Luo Ze are twins with almost identical appearances, making them difficult to distinguish from each other based on looks alone. After puberty, they both differentiated into Alphas, with pheromones becoming their only distinguishing feature.
Luo Ran left home a long time ago. This is the first time in ten years that someone has mistaken him for someone else.
Judging from the other person's appearance, they should be a Beta. They can't smell pheromones, which is why they can't tell that the person on the plane and the person in front of them are not the same person.
Luo Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
He knew Luo Ze was flying back to China today, which was why he was waiting for him at the airport. The young man must have just run into his brother. Judging from his budding romance and hesitant expression, he'd probably fallen for that guy at first sight.
However, he didn't think it was a good thing.
Although they grew up together, their personalities were vastly different. He couldn't stand the treacherous and inhumane environment of his family and escaped ten years ago. But Luo Ze completely inherited the cold-blooded and ruthless genes of the Luo family and became the heir of the Luo family, a top-tier wealthy family in Country C.
He knew his brother well; his brother was no gentle, approachable lover. In that circle, Betas were always ignored and discriminated against. Therefore, even if Loze were to fall for someone, it would never be a Beta like the young man.
It would be fine if he just ignored it. But Fu Li said that Luo Ze had given him his contact information.
In that instant, several thoughts flashed through Luo Ran's mind.
He could have simply told the other person the truth: he was Luo Ze's twin brother, and the person he met on the plane was his older brother. Whether the other person decided to give up or persisted was none of his concern.
But looking at the innocent, heartbroken man, as if falling in love for the first time, Luo Ran hesitated. In an instant, he made what he believed to be the right choice—
Such an adorable little Beta, if she really got in touch with Loze, would probably only become some kind of tool to be used.
Rather than being hurt beyond repair, I'd rather pretend to be his sweetheart and make him give up on me as soon as possible.
This can be considered as a way of absolving Luo Ze of a bad debt in advance, and doing a good deed.
So, Luo Ran smiled and admitted it.
“It’s me.”

Having received confirmation from the other party, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the identity wasn't mistaken. It's just that the male lead's demeanor changed drastically before and after; he seemed to transform from a cold and aloof celestial being into a worldly, carefree rogue.
However, since the system has already detected it, it must be the same person.
Fu Li had already imagined whether the other person had some kind of schizophrenia, and a shy yet bright smile appeared on her face.
"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. I didn't expect to see you again so soon, it's great. Oh, right, I only had time to ask for your phone number and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fu Li."
"Luo Ran," the man gestured for her to sit down and talk, "why don't you sit down and we can talk?"
Beta was flattered by his words. She pulled out the chair next to the man and sat down, her back ramrod straight. She looked awkward and worried that she might be being too presumptuous.
He then began to speak to himself, "Um, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect to run into you so soon, so I hurriedly asked for your contact information on the plane. If I offended you, I'm truly... sorry..."
The man maintained his smiling expression, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He watched as two blushes gradually crept onto Beta's fair and clean face, her shy appearance like a rose blooming in a field, crystal clear, pure, and unadorned, beautiful beyond words.
He couldn't help but rub his knuckles together inside the cup. Such a beautiful and innocent little Beta should never be ruined by a cunning old man like Loze.
He took a sip of his drink and said casually, "That's alright. By the way, did you add the contact information I gave you?"
The young man's cheeks flushed even more, and he scratched his head and laughed, "Haha, sorry, I accidentally lost it just now."
"But I never expected to meet you. I came down here to look for that note, and it just so happens that I saw you here."
Then she glanced at his face furtively, worried that she might have angered him by being too impulsive.
Fortunately, Luo Ran didn't react much. He opened his hand, took Fu Li's phone, and entered his own number.
"This is my number. You don't need to look for that piece of paper." A slight smile curved his thin lips, like the April sunshine, lazy and comfortable.
A thin blush rose on Beta's ear.

At the same time.
VIP lounge on the fifth floor of the airport.
Standing before the large, bright French windows, the man had been on the phone for half an hour. His cold, stern features were frozen in place, and a deep light flowed within his sharp, handsome eyes, like a predator lurking in the forest.
He was impeccably dressed in a suit, his pale, slender fingers tapping lightly on his phone case. Finally, he said in a deep, clear voice, "Understood. I'll be right back. Until I arrive, keep an eye on the things in the warehouse; make sure the police don't find them. We'll deal with the rest when I get back."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned his cold eyes to look at the black-clad bodyguard standing silently not far away.
"Arrange a plane to return to Country D."
The bodyguard's voice was deep and somber as he bowed slightly: "Yes."
Author's Note: Alright, all the main characters in this world have now appeared. CEO Luo has completely forgotten what happened on the plane and won't remember it again until the very end when he'll suddenly realize, "So, the person my wife fell in love with at first sight was me!"
Here is a short skit:
Fu Li (puzzlingly): Something seems off about this male lead; he seems to have a split personality.
System (confident): The test results show he is indeed the male lead, there's no mistake. Host, go for it!
Luo Ran (smiling): Yes, that's right. I'm my brother.
Luo Ze (recalling it much later): Damn! My wife!
