Qin Lin held Qin Xuan's arm as she waved goodbye to Zhao Tai,
"Happy birthday, Zhao Tai!"
Zhao Tai, suppressing his rage, forced a smile onto his face,
"Qin Lin, I've been waiting for you. And this gentleman beside you..."
"Him?" Qin Xuan grinned at Qin Lin,
"He's the only man in my family."
Zhao Tai's mind was instantly struck by lightning.
He omitted a few words in the middle, the first three and the last two.
Putting it together, it meant, He... is... my... man!
"Qin Lin! I've been pursuing you for two months! Didn't you say you were focusing on your studies during high school and wouldn't date? So, you already had someone else!" Zhao Tai gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger.
All that talk about not wanting dating to interfere with her studies, not wanting an early romance, was bullshit! Turns out she already had someone! And a man in his twenties too!
"What are you talking about?" Qin Lin was speechless and shot Zhao Tai an annoyed glare,
"Zhao Tai, don't talk nonsense. This is my brother!"
"Brother?!" Zhao Tai's heart leaped from the abyss back to the ground. He pointed at Qin Xuan excitedly,
"He's your brother?"
Qin Lin shrugged her shoulders,
"Otherwise? Don't we look alike?"
"Yes! Very much so!" Zhao Tai was ecstatic at that moment. So, he was her elder brother all along! He had almost lost his composure just now, but thankfully, he held back. Da Feng Novel Network
"You and your brother are carved from the same mold! Qin Lin, our little fairy, is so beautiful, and her elder brother is also a distinguished-looking gentleman!" Zhao Tai's demeanor changed instantly, and he started showering them with flattery.
Even though he was her brother, he was still a parent figure. This was practically meeting the parents.
And for Qin Lin to bring her brother along, what did that signify?
Wasn't it a son-in-law meeting the parents?!
So, even though Qin Lin had always verbally refused him, her heart had slowly begun to accept him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought a family member to accompany him on his birthday.
"Zhao Tai, don't call him that. Who is your brother-in-law? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll leave!" Qin Lin was truly exasperated. Why did everyone like to claim relatives so casually?
That Tang Hui was like that, and now Zhao Tai was too.
And this annoying brother of hers, not only didn't say anything but also wore a smiling face, seemingly enjoying it. He was just irritating to look at.
"Hmph."
Qin Lin stamped a small foot and twisted Qin Xuan's waist, making him gasp in pain.
Zhao Tai knew that their little fairy Qin Lin had a tough exterior but a soft heart.
She might say harsh words, but in her heart, she still accepted him.
She was just being contrary.
Whether a woman liked a man or a man liked her, she would never be the one to make the first move. She had to wait for the man to act.
It was all about saving face.
Especially for a fairy-like figure like Qin Lin, it was even more so.
Zhao Tai had dated countless girlfriends, both students and white-collar beauties from society.
No matter how proud they were, a little money thrown their way, and they would immediately strip and lie down.
Welcoming him with open arms.
But when he met Qin Lin, he felt that all the women he had dated before were like Cao Pi's wives entering a vegetable garden, with Zhen Ji uprooting vegetables.
Whether it was a financial attack or the common tactic of saving the damsel in distress, Qin Lin would merely cast a faint glance, as if she had foreseen it, and remained indifferent to him.
This only fueled Zhao Tai's desire to conquer. The more unattainable something was, the more he wanted it.
And today, Zhao Tai saw hope in his two months of effort, that it hadn't been in vain.
"Heh heh, Linlin, let's go in. Everyone is waiting for you. Oh, and Big Brother-in-law too."
Qin Xuan didn't say anything but simply smiled faintly.
He didn't want to get involved with these brats. As long as Qin Lin wasn't harmed, they could make whatever fuss they wanted.
