Han Yuanjun held the cigarette in one hand and hugged Liang Zixuan with the other.
Liang Zixuan casually drew a circle on his chest with her little finger. "Hubby."
Han Yuanjun lowered his gaze and looked down at her peaceful face under the orange light in surprise. A warm feeling spread through his heart. He was delighted and even felt a little proud. "Hmm?"
It was rare for Liang Zixuan to call him hubby.
Whenever Han Yuanjun asked her to call him that, she wouldn't do it.
Since Han Yuanjun couldn't do anything to her, he would use other means to get her to call him that from time to time. He didn't expect her to take the initiative to call him that now.
So, how could he not be happy?
Liang Zixuan knew that Han Yuanjun was in a better mood just by hearing his voice, so she slowly began to explain.
"It's not that I don't care about you. I'm just too busy today. With all the hoo-ha of grandpas and grandmas changing clothes, I forgot to call you. And I always thought that mom and dad would call you."
"Big brother is a very important figure in my heart. I told you before that in my past life, my brother was in the army, and I was imprisoned for ten years. In that life, I never had the chance to see him. It was only when I was about to die did I learn that he was already dead."
"Right now, I'm just scared. I'm so scared because even after I met you, although I did change my fate, my grandmother survived and I found my grandfather again; however, I never knew about my brother until that day when Gong Enlai came to look for me."
Liang Zixuan raised her head and looked at Han Yuanjun gently. "That day, you knew when you were angry with me."
"En." Han Yuanjun nodded. "I know, so ... That day, Gong Enlai took you to see your brother?"
"Yes. That day I saw my brother again, but only for half an hour because he had a mission and had to leave immediately. Gong Enlai said his mission was very dangerous, even his life and death were uncertain, so he told me to keep my brother's whereabouts secret. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just I don't want any unforeseen circumstances to happen, so I hide it from you."
"Ever since that day, I've been tenterhook every day. I'm so scared to receive news of my brother's accident. I'm even more scared that the next time I see him, it'll be his..."
Liang Zixuan suddenly burst into sobs. Han Yuanjun quickly put the cigarette in the ashtray and hugged her.
Liang Zixuan took a deep breath. "That's why I spend every day in fear. In order to avoid thinking about him, I've found a lot of things to do. You know, with a female group and so on. I was very busy at the time, so I didn't have time to think about him. And then the thing with Wei Guowei."
Liang Zixuan lowered her head and continued. "My feelings for my big brother are different from other siblings because I experienced my brother's death. I know that feeling, that pain, so in this life, I really treasure the time I spend with him, just like how I cherish my grandmother."
"I know." Han Yuanjun kissed her forehead gently. "I'm sorry, I'm being petty."
"I don't blame you." Liang Zixuan pursed her lips and blamed herself a little. "It's all my fault. I didn't tell you in advance and didn't take your feelings into account."
She suddenly opened Han Yuanjun's big hand and gently stroked the line in his palm with her finger.
"Han Yuanjun, you are very good. Really, you are good at everything. You have an incredible talent that is unmatched by most men in this world. You also have a handsome face that all the men in this world hate. Everything about you is the best in my heart. Because you love me so much ... No one else in this world will love me like you do. I know all of that."
Liang Zixuan then kissed his hand gently. "So, can you be a little confidence in yourself? You have to believe in yourself. Other than you, I can't fall in love with anyone else!"
"I ..." Han Yuanjun wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He was immersed in Liang Zixuan's tenderness.
Liang Zixuan raised her head and looked at him. "What happened to you?"
Han Yuanjun chuckled softly. "I'm really stupid in terms of feelings. All my life, you're the only woman I've chased after. There are a lot of things I've never experienced before, so ... Sometimes I can be a little childish."
"Who said you were stupid?" Liang Zixuan giggled. "I'm very hard to catch up, but you've caught me, right? You're clearly an outstanding man, making me worship you!"
After pausing for a moment, Liang Zixuan suddenly pursed her lips and looked at Han Yuanjun mischievously. "But sometimes you are very, very childish. I even want to call you Han San!"
Han Yuanjun laughed in anger. "Three years old?"
"That's right!" Liang Zixuan let go of Han Yuanjun's hand and hugged his neck, laughing happily. "Say, I can understand if you're jealous of other men, but you shouldn't be jealous of my brother at all! My brother is the least threat to you."
Could it be that if she divorced Han Yuanjun, she's going to marry her own brother?
It didn't make sense.
A hint of awkwardness radiated on Han Yuanjun's face. After thinking about it carefully, he also thought it was a little bit stupid.
But to be mocked by Liang Zixuan like this, he felt that he had lost a lot of faces!
His teeth ached with resentment as he grabbed Liang Zixuan's waist with both hands and tickled her. "Who are you calling a three-year-old, hmm?"
"Haha ..." Liang Zixuan was very ticklish, especially on her waist. Her whole body shrank into a ball after being tickled, and she struggled to reply. "A man with the surname Han is three years old!"

Since Wei Guowei was arrested and locked up in prison, Yuan Now was now under Wei Xiaoqing's hand.
Depending on her status as Wei Guowei's biological daughter, Wei Xiaoqing sat in the CEO's office on the first day of work.
She felt really great!
When a subordinate spoke to her, she rudely dismissed him because his words were wrong.
The assistant made coffee for her. It mustn't contain less sugar and must suit her taste.
The company was suddenly shrouded in shadows. Many people didn't want to work with Wei Xiaoqing's bad temper and wanted to leave.
The youngsters handed in their resignation letters and left. Wei Xiaoqing didn't ask them to stay either. The older ones were under pressure from their families.. Those who wanted to make a mortgage on their car could just stay.
