1776 Already Calling Him Brother-In-Law

Hexin gnashed her teeth in anger.

Hean was a big blabbermouth; having her secret discovered by him was equivalent to letting the whole world know about it.

Come out this instant!

Hean frantically clung to Long Yins arm. Youre my brother-in-lawyouve got to protect me. Im no match for my sister when she loses her temper.

Hexin bristled and turned scarlet at his words.

Who was that brat calling his brother-in-law?

Beitang Hean, if you dont come out right now, Im not going to give you your allowance for this month.

Hean deflated a little when he remembered that he still had to depend on his sister for his allowances, but when he glanced up at his future brother-in-law standing before him, he regained his confidence. Could you be responsible for my monthly allowances, Brother-In-Law?

Long Yin was fl.u.s.tered by Hean hurling the t.i.tle at him left and right, but he could not deny that it pleased him immensely.

He ruffled the boys hair. Well, I cant turn a blind eye now that you see me as your brother-in-law, can I?

Heans mouth immediately stretched into an elated grin. To express his sincerity, he tugged on Long Yins sleeve, motioning for him to bring his ear closer.

Long Yin hesitated briefly before leaning over to him.

With a hand on his shoulder, Hean whispered into his ear, My sisters just a paper tiger; she never says what she means. She actually has a thing for you, you know. Ive seen a portrait of you in her room beforeshe painted it secretly.

Long Yin gaped at him, astounded.

Hean said, Its true. Ill sneak it out for you some other time, then youll know I wasnt lying.

Hexin was certain that Hean was whispering things about her to Long Yin.

Unable to curb her irritation any longer, she took advantage of their momentarily lowered guard to lunge at them, intent on grabbing Hean and teaching him a lesson.

How could he randomly call someone his brother-in-law?

Just when she was about to seize Heans arm, he glided aside like a slippery eel.

She whirled around to catch him, but the rascal suddenly gave her a hard push from behind.

Without warning, she slammed into Long Yins arms.

Bonk!

Her head rammed right into his chest, and the impact dazed her for a moment.

When she finally recovered herself, she was beside herself with rage.

Beitang Hean, youre dead meat!

Hean jumped in fright and said to Long Yin hastily, My good brother-in-law, please do something about my sisters temper. Then he took to his heels.

Hexin was close to losing her mind from anger. She was determined to catch that brat and thrash the daylights out of him.

However, when she tried to push Long Yin away, he only tightened his arms around her waist.

Let go! she yelled in exasperation.

Calm down. Hean is still a child. If you go after him, youll stir up a commotion enough to startle the entire household, Long Yin gave her a pat on the back and reminded her.

His words brought her to her senses, calming her down right away.

Long Yin was rightif she were to chase down that boisterous kid, their parents would find out right away.

The thought made her slump in defeat.

Hean would really be the death of her!

That little devil!

If he told you anything, dont believe him. Hes always making trouble and shooting his mouth off all the time, Hexin said anxiously. Also, he was just calling you brother-in-law for fun, so dont take it seriously.

Is that so? Long Yin drawled absentmindedly. His mind was fully occupied with Heans revelation just now.

Had Hexin secretly painted a portrait of him?

He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. Besides feeling surprised, he realized for the first time that he probably did not know Hexin as well as he had thought.

Why are you looking at me like that? Noticing his unusually intense gaze, Hexin wrinkled her brow uneasily.

I just feel thatwhat Hean said may not be completely untrue. Long Yin cast a meaningful glance at her.
