Chapter 211 Nian’s Buttering Machine

Chapter 211 Nian's Buttering Machine

Before Jun could even curse his existence to death, Nian swiftly passed by him and treated him as if he wasn't even there. Which only added fuel to the already burning fire in Jun's heart.

Instead, Nian ran to Ai's side at lightning speed and jumped onto hug her. "My dear future sister-in-law~ How are you?"

Ai, who was hugged out of nowhere, stared at him blankly.

"Bro. Nian! Get away from her!" Jun exclaimed and charged towards him at lightning speed too.

Nian pulled Ai in front of him and grinned. "How can you be so heartless to hit your girlfriend?"

"Ai. Get aside," Jun ordered in a quiet voice.

Ai said, "I cannot move."

Nian had firmly held onto her shoulders to restrict his protection cover from moving an inch. "Don't be so mean, Jun. Can a brother not come to visit his brother?"

"No. That rule is not applicable for you or Bro Jian. Now, get out."

Nian harrumphed. "I didn't come here to meet you anyway. I came to give my greetings to my cute future sister-in-law, Zhou Ai!"

Jun's mouth twitched.

Ai blinked once and replied. "Thank you for the offer but if I have any concerns, I will directly talk about them to Jun."

Jun smirked, feeling pleased.

Nian's brow twitched. He waved his hand. "You don't have to be so reserved with me. Didn't we have such a good time making chocolates that day? That reminds me! So you were making chocolates for Jun!"

Ai frowned. "Good time? I remember you only crying and yelling."

Jun shot deathly beams at Nian which clearly said, 'I know she is super bad at making sweets, but how dare you scream at her? I should cut off your voice.'

"Hehe...Hehehe..." Nian made her sit on the couch and gave her shoulders a good massage. "I wasn't screaming. I was just teaching you. You enjoyed our class so much. Right? Right? Riiiiiiight?" The last 'Right?' was really desperate.

Jun narrowed his eyes. "What are you really here for?"

"I just came to meet Zhou Ai. She is family now!" Nian declared.

Ai widened her eyes and looked up at him. "Even after what happened yesterday?"

"Of course. Everybody is rattled a bit, but they will soon accept you~ It just needs some time. In the end, everybody wants Jun's happiness and if that is in you, then they will welcome you with open arms."

Jun looked somber and faced Nian with a wry smile. "That everybody doesn't include Jin."

Nian stared at him. "He will come around too. You don't have to worry about what he said. He doesn't really like Zhou Ai that way."

Ai asked, "Then why would he say that?"

Nian lowered his head and met her eyes with a complicated gaze.

For the first time...I don't know what my brother is thinking either, Zhou Ai.

He smiled. "Forget about it."

Ai felt as if he was avoiding answering her question, but she didn't press on.

Nian laughed. "Forget about the family drama for now! Let's talk about important stuff."

Jun coughed.

Such a big confrontation happened and you are labeling it as a family drama? He shook his head.

He sneered. "What is this important stuff? I know it's not about meeting Ai. You have some hidden agenda."

Nian scratched his head. "You know me so well."

"Out with it."

Nian, who was grinning until now, burst into tears as he hugged Ai. "Zhou Aiiii! You are the only one who can be my savior!"

Jun emanated an even deadlier aura now. He looked like a hurricane ready to gobble his brother. "First of all, stop hugging her like that, or I will break your arms."

"Hey! This is brother and sister bonding time! Stay away from us!" He glared at him.

"..."

Nian ignored him and focused his attention on Ai. He cried. "You were my buttering machine all this time, and I didn't even know! Life is so unfair."

Ai was clueless. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I am talking about the one and only woman who has made a super important place in my heart! I want to marry her and have lots of cute children with her!" He sobbed. "But my love story has a lot of roadblocks!"

Jun's jaw dropped. "You...you have someone you like?"

"Why are you giving me that strange look!? Yes, I am in love!" Nian scowled.

"That pitiful woman..." Jun sighed.

"..."

Ai asked, "Who is this woman? Oh. I remember. You made a poster outside your bakery that a woman you were interested in was angry at you."

"Yes! I am talking about that same woman!"

"What's the problem? She didn't forgive you after you confessed and apologized?"

Nian sniffled. "No. In fact, she beat me up."

Jun's eyes sparkled. "She did that? Who is that powerhouse? She is awesome!"

"Shut up!"

Ai brought his attention back to the important discussion. "Why did she beat you though?"

"Because of you! Because I scolded the person who she treats as her sister! Xing Bi!"

"..."

Jun - "..."

Ai blinked several times and her only response at the end was, "Huh?"

Nian wiped his eyes. "Listen to my story!"

And then he proceeded from the beginning and told everything that happened between them until now.

Ai was at a loss. She remembered she heard Xing Bi saying that she was at the banquet too. But she had no idea she had landed into such deep trouble.

No wonder she didn't pick my calls when I tried reaching out to her the next day...

There was a stretch of long silence when Jun burst into loud laughter. "Shit. That's gold what you did there! Bro, for the first time I am so happy that you played your pranks," he spoke while clutching his stomach as he laughed, "because now I can see you in deep shit, and I am so happy! You deserve it. I told you. Your pranks are gonna get to you one day," he sneered, "But you never listened to me. Now, pay the price!"
