Chapter 103: Liu Xinyao: I’m Afraid Brother-in-law Will Misunderstand!

On the morning of October 1st.

Perhaps because she liked to sleep in on holidays, Su Yan was still sound asleep in bed.

Her beautiful sleeping face faintly showed signs of fatigue.

“Sigh, people these days just love staying up late, and then can’t get up the next day!”

Wang Haoran criticized the late-night behavior of Su Yan, then gently got up, dressed, and went downstairs after washing up.

After breakfast, he drove Liu Yunshuang back to her current residence.

In the car, Liu Yunshuang yawned, complaining about her sister texting her late at night.

“That girl surely hasn’t gotten up yet!”

Liu Yunshuang didn’t bother knocking, directly entering the house using the password.

Seeing no one in the living room, Liu Yunshuang went to her sister’s room, only to find it empty.

“…”

Liu Yunshuang then went to her own room, opened the door, and looked at the bed. As expected, Liu Xinyao was sleeping there like a log.

Liu Yunshuang sat by the bed, looking at the weirdly curled-up figure, and couldn’t resist giving it a couple of hard pats.

“Mm~”

Liu Xinyao moaned softly, then groggily opened her eyes.

“…Jie, what are you doing!”

“Yaoyao, it’s so late, and you’re still not up!”

“Let me sleep a bit longer! It’s a holiday today, what’s the rush!”

Seeing her sister close her eyes again and curl up, Liu Yunshuang coldly snorted.

“Fine, keep sleeping. Haoran said he had something to talk to you about, but if you’re sleeping, I’ll just tell him to leave!”

Liu Yunshuang stood up as if to leave, but was immediately grabbed by the suddenly awake Liu Xinyao.

“Jie, you misunderstood. I always go to bed early and wake up early, how could I sleep in!”

“…Hmph, you’re hopeless!”

Liu Yunshuang gave Liu Xinyao a hard pinch on the cheek.

“Get up and clean yourself up, look at how messy you are!”

In the living room.

Wang Haoran waited for a while and saw the now-washed Liu Xinyao come to the dining table for breakfast.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello? Anlin? It’s me, your Brother Wang!”

“…Wang Haoran? What do you want?”

Xu Anlin’s voice sounded irritated and tired.

Did he really not sleep all night?

Wang Haoran chuckled.

“Not much, just that Yaoyao wants to break up with you, and as her brother-in-law, I’m conveying it.”

“Impossible, Wang Haoran, stop spouting nonsense!”

Hiding in his dorm, unwilling to face anyone, Xu Anlin immediately retorted, but Wang Haoran could tell he was not confident.

“Why is it impossible? You know what happened last night!”

“…”

“What’s wrong, nothing to say? Let’s just break up then, I don’t want Yaoyao to be laughed at with you!”

“…”

Hearing the long silence on the other end, Wang Haoran decided to push further.

“Don’t believe me? I’ll let Yaoyao tell you herself!”

Wang Haoran sat at the dining table, holding the phone in one hand and taking the milk from Liu Xinyao with the other.

“Yaoyao, drink your milk later. Here, Xu Anlin is asking if you really want to break up.”

“Oh!”

Liu Xinyao took the phone and apologetically said to Xu Anlin on the other end, “Xu Anlin, I’m sorry! I, I’ve thought it through seriously, I want to break up…”

She paused.

She wasn’t aware of last night’s campus incident.

Just as she was about to explain her reasons, she heard Xu Anlin on the other end.

“…Alright, I understand, I’ll respect your decision…”

Xu Anlin assumed Liu Xinyao was breaking up due to his scandal and had no face left to try and keep her, so he agreed straightforwardly.

However, he resolved to win her back once the storm blew over!

“Really? That’s good, actually, you can find someone better—mmph~”

Just as Liu Xinyao was about to say a few kind words, she suddenly made a strange sound, as if her mouth was covered.

“Yaoyao, what’s wrong?!”

Xu Anlin urgently asked. After a moment, Liu Xinyao’s voice came back.

“I’m fine…”

Suddenly having bread stuffed in her mouth by Wang Haoran, Liu Xinyao was startled.

Seeing Wang Haoran’s face so close, she got very nervous—their faces were almost touching!

Her face turned red up to her ears.

“Jie, Jie-fu?”

Wang Haoran didn’t answer her question, instead speaking directly into the phone.

“Xu Anlin, did you hear that?”

“…”

Xu Anlin didn’t respond. He was carefully analyzing the sounds from the phone.

He felt that the two on the other end were very close.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Xu Anlin asked.

“Wang Haoran, why are you with Yaoyao? What are you doing?”

“Nothing much, just watching her eat while I was on the couch when you called.”

“Alright, now that the matter is settled, I’ll hang up. I need to give Yaoyao her milk!”

With that, Wang Haoran ignored Xu Anlin’s anxious voice and hung up. Then he handed the milk to Liu Xinyao.

Elsewhere.

Having the call abruptly ended, Xu Anlin thought over Wang Haoran’s last words, feeling something was off.

But he couldn’t figure it out.

After a long time, he couldn’t help but call Liu Xinyao’s phone.

“Hello? Yaoyao?”

“Yes? Xu Anlin? What’s up?”

“Yaoyao, I need to tell you something…”

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Anlin finally spoke.

During this brief breakup, there was a high chance Wang Haoran would take advantage of the situation; he had to be wary.

Xu Anlin’s voice was low, but very serious.

“Yaoyao, be careful, your brother-in-law is not a good person! He’s a hypocrite!”

“You know, he… he has improper thoughts about you!”

“He’s with your sister but secretly covets you. He says he treats you as a sister, but he’s thinking dirty thoughts!”

“Having such indecent thoughts about future family, he’s definitely a scoundrel!”

“Yaoyao, you must be careful!”

“…What nonsense are you spouting!” After a long silence, Liu Xinyao’s cold voice came through.

“I’m not spouting nonsense! Yaoyao, you have to believe me!”

“Shut up! Hmph, you’re badmouthing my brother-in-law behind his back, and you want me to believe you?!”

“Yaoyao! You don’t believe me now, but you’ll see I was right! After our breakup, he’ll comfort you as a brother-in-law, get close to you, and then…”

“Enough! Xu Anlin, he’s my brother-in-law, it’s not your place to criticize! And we’ve broken up, don’t call me again!”

In a fit of anger, Liu Xinyao glanced at Wang Haoran, who was talking to Liu Yunshuang, and continued.

“I’m afraid Brother-in-law will misunderstand!”

“What?! Yaoyao! Yaoyao!”

Xu Anlin desperately called out, trying to call her again, but all he heard was, “beep—beep—sorry, the number you dialed is turned off…”

“How could this be…”

Finally unable to bear the successive blows, Xu Anlin knelt on the ground, wailing towards the sky.

“No—!”
