Chapter 31. After Divorcing The Domineering President, She Got Rich (31)

On the way back, Shi Jiu finally caught her long-lost brother. He was standing at the door, looking down at his watch, looking around from time to time, looking very cautious.

The person he was cautious about surely couldn’t be her, right?

Shi Jiu's face froze slightly, and then she carefully covered herself with the surrounding shelters, and approached Qin Mingtang step by step.

When Qin Mingtang raised his head again, Shi Jiu seized the opportunity and rushed forward, grabbing his arm firmly with both hands.

"Shuang... Shuangshuang?..." Qin Mingtang was shocked at first, and then he started to panic.

He had obviously asked the housekeeper at home, and made sure that Shuangshuang had gone out to play with friends, so he deliberately came back in her absence to pick up things.

Qin Mingtang's right arm was being hugged by Shi Jiu, and his left hand desperately tried to pull Shi Jiu's hand away.

He was too flustered, he wasn’t using any skillful movements, and in any case, he didn't dare to break his sister's hold with force, for fear of hurting her. Shi Jiu hugged him so tightly that he couldn't break free for a while, and the two of them were deadlocked in place.

After the housekeeper came down with the things Qin Mingtang had asked for, she saw Shi Jiu hanging on to Qin Mingtang like a sloth.

Not only did she have both hands wrapped around his arm, she also used her feet, standing on the ground with one foot, and hooking the other around Qin Mingtang's body.

It was very sunny outside, and the sun was making the day grow extremely hot. They stood there in a stalemate for a while, but it ended as Qin Mingtang was not willing to see his sister suffer, so he walked into the house, dragging her along.

Shi Jiu had finally caught him, but was afraid that he would run away as soon as she let go, so she hung on to him all the way inside.

While Qin Mingtang was walking inside, he ended up just picking her up and dragging her in.

After entering, the housekeeper poured two cups of herbal tea for the two of them, and went to work.

Qin Mingtang sat across from Shi Jiu, restless, looking as if he was ready to run away at any time.

The two siblings sat facing each other for a few minutes.

Qin Mingtang pinched the hem of his clothes back and forth, and the expensive suit wrinkled as he pinched it.

He couldn’t let Shuangshuang continue to be so wrong, they were brother and sister, and he had to let Shuangshuang understand that there could never be anything good resulting from feelings between them.

He knew that Shuangshuang would be very sad if he told her this, but if he didn't say it... 

After hesitating for a while, Qin Mingtang still decided to take the initiative to chat.

"Shuangshuang, you..."

But after he said the word "Shuangshuang", he couldn't manage to say the rest of the words, his voice catching in his throat.

Shi Jiu stretched out her hand to shake Qin Mingtang's hand, and called him in a soft voice, "Brother."

Qin Mingtang looked at their touching hands, and wanted to take his own back, but was afraid of hurting his sister's heart.

Seeing him in a dilemma, Shi Jiu couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahahaha...Brother, you didn’t really misunderstand, did you?"

Qin Mingtang froze in confusion: "Mis... Misunderstanding?" Did he make a mistake?

Shi Jiu nodded, "Yes, you misunderstood. Brother, you really misunderstood! Brother, you are so cute!" She continued to shake his hand.

"The last time I told you that I liked my brother, I was actually joking with you. As for me——I really like my brother, but it's not that kind of liking, it's when a younger sister likes her brother." Qin Mingtang's expression relaxed, and he realized later, he had been too flustered, he neglected the idea that his sister might be joking.

"I'm joking, brother doesn’t mind, right?" Shi Jiu touched his head and said innocently.

"I don't mind, it's fine." As long as his sister didn’t really like him that way, let alone kidding, he would still buy gifts for her.

Knowing that Shi Jiu was just joking that day, Qin Mingtang completely relaxed, and he didn't feel nervous or flustered anymore.

To be honest, he was really frightened when he heard his sister's confession to him that day.

During that time, he googled a lot about the dangers of sibling love, including the reactions of parents, the defects of giving birth to a child...

He had been very flustered.

The younger sister had just been divorced, and while she stayed away from that scumbag, he feared that she had ended up falling in love with her brother.
