 Chapter 41: Ruan Ruan Feels a Little Embarrassed

Amidst a busy schedule, the other person called to express concern for her, and this display of affection softened Qin Ruan's heart.

She felt a spreading sense of emotion in her heart, but it was more bitter than sweet.

She regretted the closed-off heart she had in her past life, for not cherishing everything properly.

Qin Ruan stood in front of the dormitory balcony, idly playing with the succulents on the flower rack.

"Don't worry about me, the person in the photos and videos is not me."

Her voice sounded indifferent, not paying too much attention to it.

Qin Jingcen was silent for a moment on the other end.

After a while, he comforted her softly, "I'll take care of this matter. Don't let it affect your mood. If you're bored at school, go find Ah Mei and let him take you out to play."

Tomorrow was a school day, and her big brother was actually urging her to go out and have fun, and letting Qin Mei take her out.

Such a big brother was truly rare in the world.

Qin Ruan pursed her lips, and her originally sad and delicate face blossomed into a radiant smile.

She pretended to be serious, "It's Monday tomorrow. Won't Second Brother have to go to class too?"

In country M..

Qin Jingcen, known as the sly fox of the business world, with his handsome and mature looks, felt his face go numb at Qin Ruan's words.

He opened his mouth, his voice somewhat strained, "Second Brother?"

After returning to the Qin family, Qin Ruan had never called her father, him, or Qin Mei "brother."

This "Second Brother" in Qin Jingcen's ears was both excited and jealous.

Ruan Ruan had never called him "Big Brother" before, even in their conversations, she had never referred to him as such.

"Ah Ruan, what did you just call Qin Mei?"

Qin Jingcen took a long time to regain his voice.

He didn't know that the tone in his voice was thick with anticipation, a nervous hope.

Qin Ruan had owed the three men of the Qin family - her father, big brother, and second brother - a title in both her past and current life.

Father, big brother, and second brother.

They were her dearest loved ones.

Even when she was deeply stuck in the mud of the abyss, they never gave up on her.

Qin Ruan looked up at the sky, forcing the bitterness in her eyes to recede.

Her voice was light and cheerful, with a hint of closeness, "I called him Second Brother."

"Second brother?"

Ruan Ruan called out to Qin Mei's second brother. Does this mean she has started to accept them?

Qin Jingcen's heart beats faster, feeling more excitement than signing a billion-dollar order.

"Ruan Ruan, what about me?"

He was eager to hear his little sister call him "brother".

Qin Jingcen straightforwardly requested, completely losing his usual composure in the business world. He couldn't accept falling behind when even that stinky Qin Mei had won his sister's approval.

"Big brother, you are my big brother."

Qin Ruan called out affectionately, gently, like a shy little girl.

"Good girl, Ruan Ruan!"

Qin Jingcen's voice trembled, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Knowing that he was too excited, Qin Ruan remained silent. She listened quietly to the heavy breathing coming from the other end of the phone.

After a few minutes, Qin Ruan took the initiative to ask, "When will big brother and father return to the country?"

"One week later."

Qin Jingcen's emotions had calmed down a lot, and his voice was gentle and pleasant to hear.

Qin Ruan responded with an "okay" and then said, "Big brother, the scandals in the country may affect Qin Group's stock fluctuations and result in some losses. Can I handle this matter? I promise to resolve it within two days."

"Of course you can!" Qin Jingcen responded quickly, without any hesitation.

Even if Qin Ruan said she wanted the moon, he would be the first to apply for ownership of the moon, even though it was highly unlikely to happened.

After confirming the return time of his big brother and father and obtaining the right to handle the rumors that could affect Qin Group's interests, Qin Ruan inquired about Qin Jingcen's well-being for a few more moments before hanging up the phone.

In fact, she was a little embarrassed.

Qin Mei's brother's name had changed to Qin Jingcen.

Qin's father's name was "An", and father and son shared a character, which felt a little weird.
