younger brother
The young people were surprised, and the older people couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
The Dong family is now one of the five largest chaebols. The Dong family is a family business with a rich heritage built through generations of accumulation. However, decades ago, the Dong family had been on a downward spiral, and it wasn't until Dong Qun took over that the decline began to ease.
Later, Dong Qun married Wang Huan. Although Wang Huan severed ties with her mother's family, the Wang family, which was already a famous chaebol in H City at that time, after the marriage, it is undeniable that many business partners would consider the cooperation more because Dong Qun was the son-in-law of the Wang family.
In just five years, under the leadership of Dong Qun, the Dong family fought their way to the top of the rankings and achieved excellence for decades, making the Dong family one of the top five chaebols in Country A.
The Chen family, on the other hand, has always been stable. Their fortunes, built from a small business before the founding of the People's Republic of China, have steadily grown over the past century. For several generations, the Chen family passed down the family line to a single person, a curse finally broken by Chen Qixiao and his family. Despite their small family background, each successor has proven exceptionally capable. They have long been renowned as a national chaebol, and now hold the top position among the five largest chaebols.
Why wouldn't people be wary of the marriage between two such large families?
But their abilities were insufficient after all, and all they could do was cling to the thighs of these behemoths.
Dong You didn't care about all this. The banquet progressed to the point where it became a very boring performance for Dong You and he had to confront a group of old foxes wearing hypocritical masks.
She was concerned about Chen Qian'an's stomach. The chef had sent a message a few minutes ago saying that everything was arranged. After seeing the message, she pulled Chen Qian'an and walked towards the room.
Looking at their backs, the second generation started gossiping with great interest again.
"Oh my god, how did they get together?!"
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
"Shocked."
"They are getting married..."
"How is that possible?! They are definitely in love! No matter what, Chen Qi'an won't be involved in the marriage, and he won't take over the Chen family."
…
Chen Qian'an had been to Dongyou's room in the old house when he was a child. The furnishings were no different from when he was a child, except that there was an extra small table with two plates of food already served and some small desserts on it.
It looks like the chef put it in.
"Sit down now."
Dong You called him to sit down, and he went to the opposite side and moved the chair next to Chen Qi'an. After sitting down, he stretched out his arm and brought the plate opposite to him. He wondered why the seats were arranged like this.
She didn't like being too far away from Chen Qian'an. They had been far enough apart in the past few years.
"Why don't you eat?" After finishing everything, Chen Qi'an didn't even pick up his chopsticks. Dong You said, "Is it not to your appetite? How about some cake first?"
As she spoke, she moved the small cake next to him. She had specifically asked the kitchen to make avocado flavored cake because Chen Qian'an liked avocado.
Chen Qi'an shook his head and picked up his chopsticks with a calm expression: "Thank you, I'll eat first."
In his calm state, he secretly tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
It was so good, she was so good to him, so good that sweetness filled his whole body and paralyzed his brain.
We're married, he thought.
Dong You had a very full dinner and ate slowly, his eyes all on Chen Qian'an.
Watching him eat the food on the plate bit by bit, she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in her heart.
Her gaze gradually and boldly lingered on Chen Qian'an's face.
His hands are so beautiful.
Why are your eyelashes so long?
How come you are so well behaved even when eating?
So white.
How come eating looks so good?
Chen Qi'an was really hungry. He didn't notice Dong You's glaring gaze until he was full. The first thing he noticed was that Dong You had only taken a few bites of his plate. He asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Dong You looked at him with a smile: "I have eaten."
Chen Qi'an remembered that he had a meal before coming here. He nodded and heard Dong You say, "Would you like some cake? Avocado flavored."
He wanted to refuse, but the avocado green flashed before his eyes. He frowned and struggled in his heart.
Dong You continued to tempt him: "There is no one else here now."
Like a witch breathing into his ear, he couldn't resist the temptation and nodded.

When Chen Qian'an is on vacation, he will bring his homemade meals to Dongyou for lunch. The front desk staff are already familiar with him and think of him as the "boss". They always smile brightly at him every time they see him.
Therefore, this period of winter travel was like a spring breeze. Every day, I looked forward to the message from Chen Qi'an on my phone: "I'll see you at noon today."
After dinner, Chen Qi'an said, "The wedding room has been decorated. When are you free to move in?"
"Tomorrow is fine." Dong You was very happy. "Tomorrow is my day off."
Chen Qi'an nodded and took the lunch box. "Okay, I'll be leaving first."
Of course he knew that Dongyou had a day off tomorrow. He had asked the receptionist a few days ago. The wedding room was decorated two days ago, and he deliberately chose today to tell Dongyou.
Before he could fully stand up, Dong You grabbed his wrist. He turned back in confusion, lowering his eyes to look at Dong You. Dong You looked up at him with a sincere look in his eyes and said, "You will move with me tomorrow."
Chen Qi'an didn't react, and maintained his posture and looked at her quietly. Dong You thought that his tone was too commanding and made him uncomfortable, so he quickly added: "Okay?"
"Okay. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"I'll send you the location tomorrow." Dongyou let go of his hand reluctantly.
But that feeling seemed to still linger on Chen Qi'an's wrist. He moved his fingertips slightly and said calmly, "I'm leaving."
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Qian'an drove to the public parking space downstairs in the community according to the location given by Dong You. He was afraid that Dong You was busy packing luggage and would not see his message, so he called him directly.
The call was picked up quickly.
"Hey Xiao An, are you here yet?"
The noise from Dongyou's side was a bit noisy, and her tone was very urgent.
"I'm downstairs in the community," said Chen Qian'an.
"Okay, I'll go pick you up."
Soon, Dongyou appeared downstairs of the community, looking around.
Before they hung up the phone, Chen Qi'an said, "I saw you. I'm going over to you now."
The two of them reunited smoothly, and she naturally took Chen Qi'an's hand and pressed the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, Dong You said, "This house is rented by me and my friends. I only occupy one room. Don't go to other sisters' rooms. Do you understand?"
She sounded like she was talking to a child, but Chen Qi'an was already twenty-six. He frowned calmly, his voice thick with frost, "Hmm."
A little rage. Dongyou didn't notice that he was unhappy at all. When the elevator door opened, she ushered everyone in as if nothing had happened, and pressed "12" with a strange look on her face.
She continued, "I've called a moving company, and they'll probably be here soon. Can you help me pack my things into the boxes?"
It was still the tone of coaxing a child.
Chen Qi'an was a little depressed. Was it because the gap between them was too long that Dong You always thought he was not an adult yet?
His mood didn't show on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay."
"bite".
The elevator door opened.
Chen Qi'an let Dongyou lead him deeper into the cave.
Although it was daytime, the corridor here was very dark, which was due to the lack of windows.
He felt his hand being clenched, and thought Dongyou was scared, but he heard Dongyou say, "The light here broke yesterday, and the property management didn't have time to fix it. I'll hold your hand, don't be afraid."
Chen Qi'an blinked where she couldn't see, and her figure was looming in the darkness.
Dong You had said this to Chen Qi'an when they were little, but back then, Dong You was leading him on bad deeds. His fear wasn't just due to the darkness, but also because he and Dong You had sneaked into the storage room in her villa to retrieve the game console that had been confiscated by Dong Qun.
The game console was a birthday gift from Chen Qi'an, but Dong Qun, worried it would affect her studies, confiscated it. Despite Dong You's assurances, Dong Qun refused to return it.
In the end, Dong You had to ask Chen Qian'an to go together to secretly get it back. Fortunately, this small game console did not attract too much attention from Dong Qun. Dong Qun probably forgot about the game console now.
Thinking of this, Chen Qi'an couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and gave the same answer as when he was a child: "Okay, I'm not afraid."
The door to room 1233 was open, and a woman in the living room was guzzling water, apparently terribly thirsty. She caught sight of Dong You out of the corner of her eye, immediately put down her cup, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Before Dongyou could answer, he noticed the handsome guy behind him.
The handsome guy was very tall. Dongyou was 1.7 meters tall, and standing behind Dongyou, he was still half a head taller than Dongyou. He had very beautiful eyes, long and thick eyelashes, and very fair skin. He looked very young - at least younger than her and Dongyou.
She asked in amazement, "I'm going on a winter trip. Where did you find this handsome boy?" She walked over to Chen Qi'an, circled around him again and again, and commented without caring about his life or death, "Excellent, excellent."
Chen Qianan looked at the floor awkwardly and raised his hand to touch his neck.
Dong You rolled her eyes and said, "Li Han'e, can you be more serious?" She pointed at Chen Qi'an and said, "This is my brother."
"Brother?" Li Han'e paused, stroking her chin. She shifted her gaze from Chen Qian'an to Dong You, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get a brother? Aren't you an only child?"
"...Does he have to be my biological brother to be called my brother?"
Li Han'e was a frivolous woman, and Dong You was afraid she might offend Chen Qi'an without knowing the limits, which would be bad for both of them. She didn't want Chen Qi'an to have a bad impression of her friends. She pulled Chen Qi'an into the house, away from Li Han'e.
Li Han'e was stunned when she saw them holding hands.
Are adult siblings... so close? Besides, they're not even biological.
Dong You, who was being watched, was coaxing Chen Qi'an, fearing that Li Han'e would make him uncomfortable: "Don't mind it, she's just like that, she's used to having no rules, she doesn't mean any harm."
Chen Qi'an nodded and said, "I understand. I don't mind."
Finally, in order to make his words more convincing, he tried to force a faint smile.
Dongyou was stunned by the sight.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately lowered his head, his ears burning: "That's good."
Li Han'e, who had been observing them, suddenly realized.
Looking at Dong You's affectionate eyes, looking at her staring at the other person's face in a daze, looking at her red ears.
What! Doesn’t! She! Understand!?
It turns out that this brother is not that brother.
It turned out to be my beloved younger brother.
