She sighed heavily. “Ever since my brother came to the Fang home, my parents have always treated him as their own. However, despite being an outstanding man, he was wrongfully jailed for three years. If it had been anyone else, the person would already have broken down and may have already gone insane. Instead, my brother remained resilient. As of today, my brother is much more successful than most people. He is a man worth loving. I grew up with him and understand better than anyone that my brother is especially kind-hearted. If you were to be with him, over time, you’ll definitely be able to receive a happy end.”
Right now, she only hoped that her brother could restrain his feelings for her and see her only as a sibling.
Sun Jiamu sniffled heavily and tried to stop her tears. “Xinxin, I’m not afraid of telling you this. I really love Fang Shaohua a lot. In the past two years, as I’ve interacted with him and slowly grown closer to him, I’ve only come to love him even more. I can’t live without him anymore!”
Fang Xinxin’s heart ached for her. She reminded her with some difficulty. “My brother is slightly stubborn. If you insist on pursuing him, it’s unavoidable that you’ll have to suffer along the way…”
“I’m not afraid.” Sun Jiamu quickly poured her a glass of water. “You’ve spoken so much. You must be thirsty. Have some water.”
“En.” She received the cup and took a sip. She then brought up the reason she was here today. “Jiamu, I have good news for you. In eight days, Bai Qinghao and I will be holding our wedding ceremony.”
She then winked. “In fact, Bai Qinghao and I have already registered our marriage.”
“Truly?” Sun Jiamu embraced her in joy. “That’s wonderful. Congratulations, my dear!”
Fang Xinxin nearly lost grip of the cup in her hand. She rushed to put it down. “Tomorrow, news of our wedding will be released.” She handed an exquisite invitation card over. “You’ll have to be in attendance no matter what.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there!” Sun Jiamu promised happily. “I want to be your bridesmaid.”
“Of course!”
Sun Jiamu asked her. “Did you come to give your brother an invitation? In that case, Lawyer Li…”
She nodded. “I’m about to get married. It’s not suitable for my brother’s company, as well as his offices, to be registered under my name. If anything happens to me, he won’t be the first in line to receive my things…”
“Pei, pei. Watch your mouth!” Sun Jiamu spoke angrily. “You will live in happiness for the rest of your life. Nothing like that will happen!”
That remained an uncertainty. Bai Jingrou was a woman full of schemes and was much more capable than Fang Manxue. But Fang Xinxin did not bring up her worries. Sun Jiamu was sufficiently troubled by her brother’s problems. She did not wish to add to her friend’s burden. “Regardless, I’ll only be able to put my worries at rest after I return my brother’s things to his name. Don’t even think about persuading me otherwise.”
Sun Jiamu could only nod her head at those words.
At this moment, Fang Shaohua stepped out of the elevator and passed by the secretary’s office. He noticed Fang Xinxin and his eyes immediately lit up. “Xinxin, why are you here?”
His instantly joyful expression caused Sun Jiamu’s gaze to darken.
In the past two years, though Fang Xinxin and Fang Shaohua rarely met up, she realised that whenever Shaohua saw Xinxin, he would appear especially happy and excited. The intention in his gaze was somewhat ambiguous.
She had a vague sense of foreboding. However, at the thought of the experiences this pair of siblings had overcome, and Xinxin’s feelings for Bai Qinghao as well as how well Xinxin treated her, she could only force herself not to think that way.
