Chapter 255 - Brother-in-Law

"Brother, haven't you changed your password yet? I thought you would have changed it...Arghh...why are you standing there like this? " 

Han Liang, who just entered the house and was about to open the shoe cabinet to change into house slippers was frightened to death when his gaze fell on the man, who was standing in the corridor with his hands folded in front of his c.h.e.s.t and was giving him a death glare. 

Han Zihao gritted his teeth when he saw Han Liang casually entering the house. After ruining the best moment of his life, he was treating the house as if it's his. 

If not for him, they...they would have….He was feeling frustrated just at the thought of what he missed tonight. 

" Why are you here at this time? And how do you know the password?" He asked bitterly. 

Han Liang let out a sigh and changed into house slippers before answering, "Your secretary told me the last time. It's your fault for not changing it. Why are you glaring at me?"

" What are you doing? Why are you going inside?" Han Zihao blocked his way when Han Liang was entering the living room. 

Han Liang stared at his brother acting strange and mysterious. " Brother, why are you acting like this? Don't tell me...are you hiding some girl? No right, it's not possible for-

He avoided Han Zihao's hand and ran inside to see why he was being so mysterious. He was teasing him as he was sure what he could possibly hide from him? It's not like he is the type to bring a girl home. 

However, his words were cut off in the middle when he saw Xu Nuan, who was wearing a white-baggy t-shirt and shorts and was half-lying on the couch and was staring at him with a mocking smirk on her face. 

"Hola!! You know, I am not even surprised to see that it was you. You're indeed a human boulder, always ready to interrupt people." she said as she waved a hand at him. 

Han Liang frowned seeing the strange atmosphere in the room. She was lying on the couch, while his brother was in a foul mood seeing him. He looked at his brother and then at Xu Nuan.

He pursed his lips and asked, " Don't tell me…..

" Brother, did you make something delicious for her again? Arghhh….I hate you so much."

"....."

Han Zihao was now sure of one thing, his brother is not as quick-witted as he used to think. He was so wrong about him. 

" You never cook something for me, but why do you cook frequently for her? She is not even that good-looking." He pouted and went to sit on the couch. 

Xu Nuan, who was sitting beside him, kicked him on the calf and glared at him. What nonsense!! She is still way prettier than this dumb-headed prince. 

" Because she is my girlfriend!" Both of them were busy in their chaotic world when they heard Han Zihao say. 

Han Liang looked at Han Zihao and blinked in confusion. Did he hear something wrong? He glanced at Xu Nuan and laughed, " Brother, don't make jokes like that. It's not funny."

" I am not joking." Han Zihao said. 

Xu Nuan looked at Han Liang and nodded, " Brother-in-law, are you doing good these days? Is there anything bothering you?" she asked in a cutesy voice to tease him. 

He looked at her in horror and shifted back. " Shut up. Don't talk like that. I don't want to have nightmares at night." 

Xu Nuan giggled. He never fails to amuse her. 

-

After drinking a few glasses of cold water, Han Liang took a deep breath as he glanced at Han Zihao and said, " Brother, you have to consider what I am going to say seriously."

Xu Nuan raised her brows as she played with her hair strands and waited for what he has to say. 

" Brother, you're handsome, rich...no..super rich, kind of intelligent. You're bad at dancing and have a weak EQ but other than that, I think you're a fine man and can find other better girls."

" If not, I will always keep you company and will never let you get bored. But...don't make any wrong choices after getting influenced by Grandmother's words. She just wants you to marry anyone, who is a girl and give her a grandchild, that's it."

" She won't even mind if you marry a girl like her and ruin your- He said while pointing at Xu Nuan, who was sitting beside him when he was attacked out of nowhere. 

~Smack~

" Who the hell are you to hit me?" He shouted at Xu Nuan who smacked him on the head. 

" Your future sister-in-law!! My stupid brother-in-law, try saying one more word against me and I won't hesitate to hit you with a hammer next time," she said nonchalantly while wiping her hand which she used to hit him with the couch. 

He frowned and humphed. At this point, he knew that the remaining respect that he had in the house, is now gone. 

His Grandmother was not enough to bully him that now his brother is smitten by this brat. 

-

" Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to not come to my place frequently?" Han Zihao asked as he stared at Han Liang, who was busy munching on the fried chicken that he brought with him. 

Xu Nuan nodded and looked at him curiously while taking a piece from his box. 

Han Liang glared at her but didn't say anything. What can he say to a person, who is forever hungry?

" I wanted to talk to you. But it seems like I have no place in this house." He pouted. 

" You can come to my place if you want to talk with anyone." Xu Nuan said. 

Han Zihao looked at her with a frown. Why is she inviting him to her house?

" Really? You're seriously asking me to come to your place?" Han Liang asked happily. She finally realized his worth. 

However, before he could say anything, she continued, " But bring two boxes of chicken next time. Oh, this is so tender and delicious."

"..."

Han Liang glanced at Han Zihao, who chuckled upon hearing her words. He couldn't help but frown. What was so funny about that?

-

" But jokes apart, what is it? Is it about a girl?" she asked while stuffing her mouth with the chicken. 

He stared at her and then at Han Zihao in hesitance. 

" Oh common, I am better than your brother in this field. Do you think he is smart enough to give you any advice in this regard?" she asked.

Han Zihao frowned at her words. How can she say something like that about him on his face? 

Thinking of her words, Han Liang nodded in acknowledgment. His brother is indeed slow in this area. 

He cleared his throat before saying, " You see, there is this girl that I...kind of like her. She is beautiful, sweet, and polite to everyone. We even exchanged numbers, but never got to the point of chatting on messages."

" But I always visit her at her work. She greets me with a smile and sometimes even accompanies me so that I won't feel bored. I thought that she also likes me, but today I saw her talking with another guy."

" She looked happy and was smiling cheerfully, more than she does when she is with me. I think it's her boyfriend. Do you think….I got dumped even before trying?" He asked hesitantly. 

Since the day he has taken Luo Dan's number, he couldn't bring himself to talk to her on messages. It still feels awkward. However, he visits her cafe almost daily to find excuses to see her, to get a glimpse of her from far away. 

She looks beautiful, always. 

However, when he went to the cafe today, he saw her talking to another guy. She was laughing and looked happy. He couldn't help but feel strange. She never laughs like this when she was with him. 

Is his love, at first sight, going to stay as his unrequited love?

-

Xu Nuan stared at him and took a sip of beer that he brought with him before asking, " You...did you confess your feelings to her? Did she say that she doesn't like you?"

" Are you crazy? No!! What if she rejects me?" 

Xu Nuan couldn't help but chuckle at his stupidness. " When you didn't confess to her, then how can you be dumped, you dumb-headed prince?"

" But she already has a boyfriend. How can I-

" How do you know that it was her boyfriend? And even if she has, what's wrong with asking and getting rejected? It will at least clear your confusion and help you to move on." 

" And there is also a chance that she will give you a positive answer." 

Han Liang nodded as her words did make sense. " So….have you ever rejected anyone? Just curious." 

She looked at him and laughed, " Are you seriously asking me that question? Anyone? You can't even imagine how many and what kind of boys I have rejected till yet." 

" Even a few days ago, I rejected Yuha-

Her eyes widened in shock upon realizing what she was about to say. She hesitantly glanced at Han Zihao and found him throwing a dagger at her with his glare. 

" A few days ago, what?" Han Zihao asked while staring at her with his stoic expressions. 

Xu Nuan gulped and glanced at Han Liang, who was laughing at her after putting her in the tough position. 

This bitch!!

Why did he even ask that stupid question?
