Chapter 51
Young Master Yan almost let out a curse. If it weren't for the fact that the woman was his future sister-in-law, Yan Xiao didn't know what he would have done.
His sister was still sick, and he couldn't upset her.
The young man threw his phone aside, and his delicate, phoenix-like eyes were filled with irritation and unease. The obedient and well-behaved appearance had disappeared, replaced by an ominous aura.
The Yan family had never been a pure and upright clan, and they wouldn't raise a simple-minded young master.
...
After Jiang Yan's illness had recovered, Yan Xiao kept suggesting that they meet up.
She was starting to get a headache.
They were just an online romance, and it was so easy for things to go wrong in real life, even though the young master was an attractive and tall student. But she didn't want to hurt him either.
Jiang Yan made all kinds of excuses and delays: "We live too far apart, it's a hassle..."
"What if I take a plane to see you?" The young man's voice was clear, like mint in a cold summer drink, refreshing and crisp.
"No, no, you need to focus on your studies. I can't be a bad influence on you," Jiang Yan stopped him, feeling rather proud of her own cleverness.
The room should have the air conditioning on, but she was only wearing a loose, gray-green sweatshirt, the fabric slightly hanging off her. The beige collar outlined her snow-white neck and shoulders, but she was distracted, glancing at the TV, unaware of the young man's suppressed, predatory gaze.
"Sister." Yan Xiao's voice suddenly lowered, hoarse and captivating.
Jiang Yan reluctantly turned her attention back, and he calmly said, "I've been admitted early."
At first, Jiang Yan didn't react, because his tone was so casual. But when she realized what he meant, she was stunned.
The sound was deafening! Thunderous! How could her brother say being admitted early so indifferently, without even complimenting her on her clothes?
"Which university were you admitted to?" Jiang Yan asked cautiously. Yan Xiao suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something. "Which university do you go to, sister?"
"Me? I go to the local university here. What about you?" Jiang Yan pressed him.
The young master seemed a bit unhappy, pursing his light-pink lips, but still told her, "A University."
Oh wow, the same school! Jiang Yan was shocked.
How could they be so coincidental?
The system reminded Jiang Yan, "Prepare to break up soon, or you'll have real-life interactions that will disrupt the plot."
The obedient and attentive puppy-like little brother, how could Jiang Yan bear to part with him? After all, she had just broken up with someone in the previous world and apologized.
But Jiang Yan outwardly agreed, following the script to gradually distance herself from her little boyfriend, occasionally disappearing and playing with his emotions...
Sure enough, the young man couldn't hold out for long before he erupted.
"Sister, are you just playing with me? Have you had enough and want to dump me? Don't even think about it! If you keep ignoring me, I'll come find you..." After waiting by the phone for days, Yan Xiao started out furious and angry, but then he restrained himself, softening his tone, as he ultimately didn't want this relationship to end.
But this was an opportunity presented to her, so Jiang Yan pretended to be impatient: "Since you've figured it out, let's break up. I was just playing around, and I thought you were an easy high school student to fool, but who knew you'd take it seriously!"
The system silently gave her a nod, feeling that she had played the role of a heartless woman to perfection.
The young man seemed to have been angered, and didn't say another word, his heavy breathing echoing through the receiver.
Jiang Yan's mind inexplicably conjured up a pair of icy cold eyes, and she felt uneasy, quickly hanging up the phone.
She also blocked all contact information, only then feeling at ease.
She thought it would just end there, but on the night before her birthday, Jiang Yan suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
Jiang Yan woke up from her dream, sleepily mumbling, "Who is it?"
There was a pause on the other end, and then a calm voice said, "I've sent your birthday gift in the mail. Remember to sign for it tomorrow."
Jiang Yan responded with only the soft sound of her breathing, as she had fallen back asleep.
When Jiang Yan woke up the next morning, she finally regained her senses and realized the call was from Yan Xiao.
But it seemed she wouldn't be receiving the birthday gift, as the address was fake.
However, her assumptions proved to be wrong.
When the delivery man appeared at her door with a package from the sender Yan Xiao, she was completely stunned.
The heartless woman's mind was filled with thoughts, "How did he know the address? How could this be? Oh gosh, is this going to be some kind of revenge, with a time bomb inside or something?"
Jiang Yan carefully opened the box, finding two books inside. One was a compilation of their chat logs, and the other was a handwritten plan for their future together.
The distinguished young master from a renowned family, the top student admitted early to A University - Jiang Yan couldn't understand why he would take the time to write these things, and it left her feeling a bit troubled and distressed.
So when the heartless woman's friends called her out to play, she agreed without hesitation. She put on a beautiful makeup, wore a pretty dress, and teetered on high heels, swaying as she carried her purse and got into the sports car.
The gathering of the privileged rich second-generation youths was just about eating, drinking, and having fun. Jiang Yan happily indulged herself in the circle of beautiful women all day, her clothes even picking up their fragrance.
But throughout the day, she felt like someone was watching her. Was it just her imagination?
