"Sister Vanilla..."
Don't get agitated!
Let me pour you a glass of water.
As Jiang Haitang got up, she poured Yu Xiangcao a cup of tea and gently patted her back.
She wondered if Sister Vanilla really liked her older brother.
My older brother hasn't had a girlfriend in seven or eight years.
If Vanilla likes Big Brother, that would be even better; she must make Big Brother and Vanilla a couple.
Maybe Vanilla is the savior of the eldest brother!
After drinking the tea, Yu Xiangcao gradually stopped coughing and recovered.
He waved his hand and said, "Haitang, don't make jokes like that again."
How could I possibly become your sister-in-law?
Once you marry my younger brother, you'll be my sister-in-law.
We're all family, and your older brother is practically a relative of ours.
This girl is really bold; she dares to say anything and have any ideas.
Putting aside the family relationship, it's impossible for her to marry Jiang Haiyang.
Who is that person...?
And what is my own identity?
They are worlds apart.
Jiang Haiyang is the cloud in the sky, and she is the mud on the ground; they can never become one.
"So what if we're related by blood?"
You and my older brother are not related by blood, so what impact would it have on you being together?
There's no such provision in the law, is there?
Jiang Haitang blinked her big eyes, puzzled, and asked.
“Sister Haitang, this isn’t about blood relations, it’s about…”
Anyway, it's impossible for me and your brother.
Didn't I just tell you?
I have no plans to get married. I am truly, truly, truly very happy right now.
Yu Xiangcao really couldn't do anything with this young lady, so she could only emphasize that she didn't want to get married.
Besides, she was a woman who had been married twice, and a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside. She and Jiang Haiyang, a man who was educated, had a stable job, and was good-looking, were from completely different worlds.
Even if he is very outstanding, it has nothing to do with me.
The old and ugly man used to despise me so much. At least I was young back then, and I was considered pretty. I was still a virgin.
I am now like a withered flower, having long lost my original color.
She's already twenty-six or twenty-seven, no longer an eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth.
Most importantly, she was remarrying, while Jiang Haiyang, although not young, was at least getting married for the first time.
Therefore, Yu Xiangcao never thought about having any interaction or future with him; in fact, she never even considered that possibility.
"Ah... Sister Vanilla, are you really not planning to get married?"
But didn't you clearly like my older brother?
She overheard Yu Chengyuan talking to his wife today. He said that Sister Xiangcao risked her own safety to suck out the poisonous blood with her mouth in order to save her older brother.
She also heard that Sister Vanilla was very brave, something that even Brother Chengyuan hadn't expected.
She figured that Sister Vanilla must like Big Brother, otherwise why would she risk her life to do something like sucking poisonous blood?
If it were her, she definitely couldn't do it herself.
Unless it's a close relative or someone you love most, it's impossible...
Yu Xiangcao was shocked to hear this, and then immediately covered her mouth, "Little ancestor, you can't say things like that. Who told you that I like your older brother?"
Remember this, and don't say things like that carelessly in the future.
I'd be so embarrassed if someone overheard me!
Also, whatever you do, never say that to your older brother, or I'll be too ashamed to face anyone.
I don't know who's spreading rumors here. When did she ever say she liked Jiang Haiyang?
I don't think I showed any affection for Jiang Haiyang.
Yu Xiangcao thought about it carefully and realized that she hadn't done anything inappropriate!
"Sister Vanilla, do you mean you don't like my older brother?"
Jiang Haitang asked in confusion.
"Okay, Haitang, listen carefully. I don't like your older brother, but I consider him a friend."
After you marry into our family, we'll be even closer relatives.
There is no other relationship besides this.
I don't know where you heard that from, but it's definitely a misunderstanding, or you misheard it.
Yu Xiangcao gave a very serious explanation.
"Then I'm confused. If you don't like my brother, why did you risk your own safety to save him, and even suck out his poisonous blood with your mouth?"
What else could this be but liking someone?
Good heavens!
This girl completely misunderstood her.
Besides her second brother and Jiang Haiyang, only she knew about this. How did this little girl find out?
Could it be that Jiang Haiyang said it himself?
What does he mean by doing this?
"Sister Haitang, you've misunderstood. It was just a last resort to save someone."
How did you know that?
Did your older brother tell you that?
If it really is Jiang Haiyang, then that's going too far.
No, no, no…
Sister Vanilla, don't misunderstand, my brother didn't tell me anything.
I overheard Chengyuan and his wife talking and praising you by chance.
Jiang Haitang quickly waved her hand and explained.
We can't let Sister Vanilla misunderstand Big Brother.
It seems that Sister Vanilla doesn't have those kinds of feelings for her older brother.
However, feelings can be cultivated; you can't rush them.
The older brother has been hurt in love, and Sister Vanilla has also been hurt by an unhappy marriage. Both of them have been hurt by relationships, so they probably won't trust in love too easily anymore.
But since fate brought them together and this has happened, how can we know if we can succeed if we don't try?
Jiang Haitang thought about it and decided not to urge them anymore.
Oh, I see!
I'm sorry, Vanilla, I misunderstood.
I promise I won't go around telling everyone about this.
"It's good that you know, I don't blame you."
It's getting late, let's go to sleep!
Seeing Jiang Haitang's sincere apology, Yu Xiangcao was afraid that she had been frightened by her tone just now, so she softened her tone a lot.
Meanwhile, in Yu Ping'an's room.
Yu Pingan was tired after a busy day, so he quickly fell asleep.
Jiang Haiyang couldn't fall asleep for a long time, unsure whether it was because he couldn't sleep in a bed he wasn't used to or because of something else.
His eyes were open, and the image of Yu Xiangcao sucking out the poisonous blood from his mouth kept flashing through his mind.
Although the Cheng Yuan brothers had already squeezed out most of the venom, she still disregarded the possibility of inhaling the snake venom and facing danger herself, and insisted on helping him in this way.
What merit does he possess to deserve such devotion from her?
She even disregarded the bitterness of the herbs, chewed them up directly in her mouth, and carefully applied them to his feet.
Every movement was so skillful and so gentle.
He tossed and turned until the wee hours of the morning before finally drifting off to sleep.
The next day, sunlight streamed in through the window, and he stretched, feeling very happy.
