"It’s nothing..."

Jian Ran: "..."

These two men were really acting quite odd.

Jian Ran was somewhat puzzled. Just when she did not understand what was going on, Qin Mu suddenly lifted his arm and pulled her into his embrace.

"Ran girl... I think at this moment, a proper self-introduction is in order."

Jian Ran: "..."

What was Qin Mu up to now?

As Jian Ran looked on in surprise, snow had unknowingly started to drift down from the sky, the snowflakes beginning to settle on the shoulders of the three of them, adding a bit of soft whiteness.

Gu Mochen narrowed his dark eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Jian Ran’s pale little face. His own handsome face was even more striking against the night and the snowflakes, his aura unmatched and exceptional.

An elegant young master, truly refined.

Unfathomable... elusive, and his thoughts deep as the sea.

Qin Mu was still carefree, with several buttons undone at the front of his shirt, exuding an attitude of irreverence towards the world.

The two men, perceptive as mirrors, left Jian Ran somewhat at a loss.

"Qin Mu..."

"Hmm... Self-introduction... Gu Mochen, I am Jian Ran’s brother... well... Tang Bao’s uncle... Um, please take good care of my little sister in the future..."

Hearing what Qin Mu said, Jian Ran suddenly understood the man’s intention, her face turning slightly pale.

Qin Mu was trying to make things clear.

"Qin Mu, it’s late at night, don’t..."

"Hmm, I’m not causing a fuss... just wanted to introduce myself properly.

.. Gu Mochen, Ran girl, you see, she’s stubborn and strong-willed, likes to butt heads with everything.

If you confront her head-on, you definitely won’t get a good deal, but if you take a roundabout approach, it might be much better. "

Gu Mochen listened seriously to what Qin Mu was saying and nodded.

"I’m all ears."

"Ran girl, well... she values friendship quite a bit... In the past, we all used to hang out together, calling each other brothers. Anyway, she has many flaws and honestly... not that many strengths."

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Jian Ran couldn’t help but feel her eyes redden, and she spoke indignantly.

"Qin Mu, can’t you say something nice about me? What do you mean I have many flaws and not many strengths... I clearly have a lot of strengths and very few weaknesses."

"Enough from you, I don’t even bother praising you."

Qin Mu looked at Jian Ran with disdain and then... although he was complaining, his expression was extremely serious and earnest when he looked at Gu Mochen.

"But... although she has many flaws, like countless stars, her merits may be few, like the sun... however, whenever the sun shines, the stars become invisible, so in my eyes, I can only see Ran girl’s strengths and cannot see any of her weaknesses at all."

Qin Mu was being overly sentimental, admitting to his own use of flowery language.

The woman he had loved for so many years...

Even when Han Siming took her away, he never once gave up.

But now... once he confirmed that Jian Ran liked Gu Mochen... he still chose to give up.

There’s a time for letting go in any affair...

He had no regrets.

Because it was worth it...

He wanted Jian Ran to be happy.

Gu Mochen truly loved Jian Ran, liked Tang Bao... and the two were nominally husband and wife... Qin Mu, too, wanted to bring the two closer together.

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Jian Ran found it hard to contain her emotions, her eyes reddening uncontrollably, her gaze unnaturally avoiding his, touched by Qin Mu’s words. Perhaps, to date, he was the man who had moved her the most.

"Alright, Qin Mu, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why would you say such things out of the blue?"

Jian Ran’s eyes reddened as she prepared to push the man towards the living room, but Gu Mochen reached out his large hand and grabbed Jian Ran’s slender wrist.

"Stop it, Jian Ran, let him finish."

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to Gu Mochen’s resounding words, Jian Ran nodded her head. Their fingers interlocked, her small hand tucked in his palm, she listened as Qin Mu continued to speak.

"Ran girl... mmh... I just wanted Gu Mochen to witness... This young master... has now gained some ambition, and I’ve decided to stop loving you."

Jian Ran: "..."

In a place Jian Ran couldn’t see, Qin Mu’s heart was bleeding.

Drop by drop... spreading out...

Mmh, damn, lying feels awful, especially to the woman you love...

Shit.

Qin Mu gazed deeply at the woman before him... then spoke with earnest certainty.

"This young master, I only like, to dote on my own sister... And you are my sis... Alright, I admit I’ve said it too many times before... But this time, I’m fucking serious... Believe me this time."

Jian Ran understood... Qin Mu was serious.

In the past, he was always nonchalant, grinning on the surface but not smiling within...

Now, in front of Gu Mochen, he was solemn, not frivolous with his words, speaking sincerely.

It already represented the change and maturation in a man’s mindset.

Gu Mochen listened seriously to every word Qin Mu said, and in fact.

.. Gu Mochen was not in a very good state, because of the wound on his chest that had burst open while holding Tang Bao that afternoon.

To reassure Jian Ran, including not showing any unusual behavior in front of the little girl, he had been forcing himself to stay strong.

Now... hearing Qin Mu’s words, he stood even more erect.

To respect a rival was also to respect oneself.

"Mr. Qin, both Jian Ran and I believe you."

Gu Mochen gazed at Qin Mu standing before him and spoke with conviction.

Initially, it was light snow, but it had changed to heavy goose-feather snow without them knowing when.

The three of them stood in the snow... Qin Mu took a deep look at Jian Ran in front of him... In the end, he chose to return to his nonchalant tone.

"Humph... Ran girl... Don’t you ever beg this young master to love you... Missing out on such a high-quality man like me... You’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Jian Ran couldn’t help but laugh in silence, then nodded emphatically.

"Qin the third, frankly speaking... not having been with you 4 years ago, I’ve already regretted it once, truthfully."

Back then... truly young and impulsive.

I was shortsighted, admiring a scholarly gentleman fond of reading, and overlooking the Demon King who spent his days playing with my pigtail.

So... I was shortsighted.

I regretted it.

Qin Mu: "..."

In this life, having Jian Ran say she regretted it, truly made it all worthwhile for him.

"Mmh... that’s more like it."

"Alright... Brother-in-law... From now on, keep your eyes open wide when you walk, this young master is your uncle now."

Gu Mochen: "..."

Mm... It was a bit odd seeing Qin the third so serious just now.

This current Qin the third, mm, I’m actually used to it.
