Promising Star - C71

Xiao Yun had long since seen Xiao Jia Yu’s protection of Mu Chen, but he still felt infuriated. “You’re my little sister, and you’re still part of our Xiao family even before marrying him. If you really think I’m your big brother, then you shouldn’t protect him at all.” Just now, he had seen the provocative gaze that Mu Chen had given him when Xiao Jia Yu was dissatisfied with him, and he felt even more stifled.

Xiao Jia Yu frowned and argued, “Big brother, I did not want to protect him. You are being too unreasonable.”

Xiao Yun took in a deep breath, then picked up the bottle of red wine beside him and said, “Then let’s have a drink at the bar.” After saying that, he raised his glass and clinked it against Mu Chen’s cup in an indifferent manner.

The atmosphere at the dining table wasn’t too good, but Xiao Yun had already stopped looking for trouble with Mu Chen. Mu Chen himself wasn’t someone who talked too much, and for a while, only Xiao Jia Yu was left to occasionally say a few words.

After dinner, Xiao Jia Yu got up to go to the bathroom. Seeing her walk off, Xiao Yun put down the forks and knives in his hands and said to Mu Chen, “Come out with me for a bit.” After which, he walked out.

Mu Chen paused, but quickly followed.

When he saw Mu Chen approaching, he passed him a cigarette and lit it himself. When he was about to hand the lighter to Mu Chen, the other party shook his head and rejected him, “No, if not, she would definitely not like the smell of my cigarette.”

When Xiao Yun saw that Xiao Yu did not light the cigarette, and did not even light it, it was obvious that he would usually smoke. For the sake of Xiao Jia Yu, he actually forced Xiao Yun to not smoke at all, making him change his opinion of him.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, blew out smoke rings, and asked, “When did the two of you get together?”

Mu Chen replied, “The official date is last night.”

Xiao Yun stood up and glared at him. “You’re quite amazing to be able to have my little sister bring you to see me just now.”

Mu Chen didn’t mind his sarcastic remarks. Instead, he asked, “Are you really not satisfied with me?”

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, “Our family has protected Jia Yu very well since she was young. Our family has my mother’s family, the school is mine, and the people outside are my father. This is also the reason why we don’t want her to become a star. But I also know her character. Once she’s decided on something, no one can persuade her to be an actress unless she changes her mind. Being with you is the second. “She is pretty, and our Xiao family’s background is there. We don’t lack people to chase after her, but I have solved all the problems in the school.”

As he said this, he sighed with melancholy. “I think I’m just helping her block the peach blossoms because she’s really never had feelings for any guy before. I really can’t accept your sudden appearance.” But I can see that she’s just as eager to be an actress as she was before, and I can’t dissuade her. ”

Mu Chen calmly promised, “I will treat her well.”

Xiao Yun let out a “hmph” and replied disdainfully, “You and I are both men; it’s not strange that we would make any promises to get a woman.”

Mu Chen pursed his lips. He knew that he had gone too far in making this kind of promise.

Xiao Yun then took a deep breath and said, “We are both young and we are both men. You are the only one being together with my sister, you are just like the newlyweds. You must be tired of being together all day. I don’t care about anything else, and neither can I. But since the two families’ parents haven’t met, the marriage between the two of you hasn’t been decided. You’re not allowed to take the final step with her. “Although there are a lot of people living together before marriage now, but I’m still an old-fashioned person. I’m afraid my sister might give her everything to you without knowing why.”

Mu Chen was about to say something when Xiao Jia Yu came over. Seeing two men standing in the corner and smoking, she became speechless. “What do you two have to say behind my back?”

Xiao Yun was still looking at Mu Chen, but Mu Chen could only reluctantly nod his head, before following behind Xiao Yun and walking towards Xiao Jia Yu.

Xiao Yun rose and looked at Xiao Jia Yu as he smiled, “Jia Yu, between men, there are things that we need to say privately. If you’re here, it wouldn’t be convenient for us to talk about.”

Xiao Jia Yu replied without thinking: “It must be some dirty words that I don’t want to hear.” Saying so, he looked worriedly at Mu Chen and asked, “Did he bully you behind my back?”

Mu Chen held back his laughter as he nodded his head in an extremely aggrieved manner.

Xiao Jia Yu was immediately a little mad. She looked at Xiao Yun and scolded, “Big brother, don’t go overboard. If not, I really won’t recognize you anymore. You’re going to piss me off.”

Xiao Yun who was really going to die from anger glared at Mu Chen, but Mu Chen truly felt that Xiao Yun’s request just now was not to bully him.

Xiao Yun picked up Xiao Jia Yu’s shoulder and brought her back to the dining hall, coaxing, “Jia Yu, this is the first time you have come to big brother’s place, so you’ll stay over at my place for the night. We haven’t seen each other for quite a while, so I want to get along a bit more with you.”

Xiao Jia Yu felt that her attitude towards him today was a bit too much as she was being coaxed by Xiao Yun. She hurriedly smiled and nodded. “Alright, I haven’t seen your apartment either.”

Behind the two of them, Mu Chen rubbed his forehead as he felt a headache coming on. Only Xiao Jia Yu, this pure and innocent girl, did not know why Xiao Yun had made them stay, as she wanted to see him under her nose.

When they arrived at Xiao Yun’s room, Xiao Jia Yu discovered that it was actually two bedrooms and a living room. As she was hesitating about sleeping in the same room with Mu Chen in front of Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun was already the first to speak, “Jia Yu, you’re the only one in that room. Mu Chen’s words …” “There’s a couch in the living room. I think we’ll sleep for the night.”

Xiao Jia Yu was secretly afraid that Mu Chen wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night. He was so tall, and the sofa wasn’t long either, so he might not even be able to rest properly, let alone sleep well. However, if she raised any objections now, Xiao Yun would definitely be unhappy and would even think that she was overestimating herself. She bit her lip and thought she would go back to Bordeaux with Mu Chen tomorrow.

After Xiao Jia Yu took a bath and laid on the bed in the guest room, Mu Chen, who was sleeping in the guest room, felt a little uneasy. He got up and opened the door to take a look.

Mu Chen was leaning on the sofa, doing his job with the pen and electricity, his legs covered only by a thin blanket.

Xiao Jiayu knew that he must be dealing with domestic work. She sat beside him and touched the blanket on his leg and said speechlessly, “My brother actually gave you such a thin blanket to cover you. It would be strange if you didn’t catch a cold at night.”

Mu Chen closed the electric brush and smiled as he shook his head. “It’s alright. It’s only been one night. My body isn’t that weak yet.”

Xiao Jia Yu’s eyebrows creased even tighter, “I think I’ll go get another blanket from him. It’s not summer lately, so the temperature will be very low at night.”

Mu Chen hurriedly pulled her into his embrace and said with a smile, “It’s really alright. Look at how your brother doesn’t like me anymore. If he does it a few more times, he’ll definitely dislike me even more.”

Xiao Jia Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that Xiao Yun had actually gone overboard with his actions, so she didn’t have to worry too much about it. She held Mu Chen’s hand and said, “Come sleep in my room, I have a very thick blanket.”

Mu Chen said, “If your brother finds out, it won’t be good.”

Xiao Jia Yu glared at him, “It’s up to you whether you want to come in or not. If you don’t, I’ll lock the door.” After saying that, he stood up and returned to his bedroom.

Mu Chen smiled as she walked away, and for three seconds he mourned the quilt he had placed in his study.

As Xiao Yun had to go to work early in the morning, he woke up early every day. When he walked out of his bedroom, he discovered that there was no one on the sofa in the living room.

Xiao Jia Yu and Mu Chen were originally still sleeping soundly, but they were woken up by the loud noise he made.

Xiao Jia Yu lifted up her quilt and opened the door, looking at the angry Xiao Yun who was still in a bit of a daze, “Big brother, what are you doing so early in the morning?”

Xiao Yun pushed her away and walked into the room. Seeing that Mu Chen was still lying on the bed, he lifted his leg and kicked him. “You’re really amazing. Bullying my sister in front of me.”

Mu Chen did not dodge or evade and allowed him to kick him twice. Naturally, Xiao Jia Yu immediately came to protect him and said in a bad tone, “Big Brother, if you want to go crazy and go out on your own, do not disturb us. I really don’t know what is going on in your brain, we didn’t do anything tonight.”

Xiao Yun looked at her exposed neck in anger. Xiao Jia Yu followed suit and looked down in confusion, to her surprise, there were a lot of red marks, but she really didn’t do anything with Mu Chen last night. She clearly remembered the two of them sleeping together as soon as they got into bed.

Xiao Jia Yu was also momentarily stunned. When she turned her head to look at Mu Chen, who was still cooped up in bed feeling wronged, she suddenly came to a realization. Her mouth stuttered, but she didn’t dare to say anything. Even she almost couldn’t believe what she said, “Big bro, I really didn’t do anything with Mu Chen last night.”

Xiao Yun smiled coldly and asked back, “Are you guys just chatting while covered by the blanket?”

Although Xiao Jia Yu felt that she did not believe him, she still nodded her head.

Xiao Yun laughed in anger, “I’m on my way to work right now. You better take care of yourself. If you regret it, don’t blame me for not caring about you as my big brother.” As he spoke, he glared at Mu Chen, “I’ll believe my sister’s words for now. A man should be able to do what he says. Don’t make me look down on you.”

After Xiao Yun left, Xiao Jia Yu immediately pounced onto Mu Chen and grabbed his neck, and said in annoyance: “I should have known earlier that Sister Qing Ying’s words about your heart being dark was not a joke. Just what did you do when I fell asleep last night?”

Mu Chen pulled her hand away from his neck and smiled. “It’s just like what your brother said. It’s really impossible for a man and a woman to cover themselves with quilts and chat. You’re lying in my arms, and although I’ve been enduring it, I couldn’t resist it, so I kissed you.”

Xiao Jia Yu lowered her head to look at the exaggerated mark on her neck and asked: “Are you sure you’re just kissing?” After she finished speaking, she felt wronged, “To think that I was so protective of you in front of my brother, but you are actually so dishonest. Next time, don’t even think about coming to my room to sleep.”

Mu Chen hurriedly hugged her and said pitifully, “Jia Yu, ever since I fell in love with you, I’ve always wanted to be with you. I can’t sleep well alone at night, so I feel a lot more at ease hugging you.”

At this time, Xiao Jia Yu did not take his flowery words lightly, and said with a smile: “Earlier you said that you couldn’t resist sleeping with me, and now you’re saying that you only slept well with me. How do you want me to believe you?”

Mu Chen looked at her with a serious face as he replied, “Carrying you with your arms in my arms is really uncomfortable, but I feel at ease when I have to hug you.”
