Last time, due to various reasons, she could only choose one from so many outstanding suitors. But now, perhaps she could gather all of them into her embrace!
Imagining her wonderful future, Han Siyu’s expression grew increasingly smug. Although she felt somewhat dissatisfied with the quality, price, taste, and style of the skincare and makeup products she currently owned, she didn’t say much. After all, sooner or later, someone would deliver whatever she desired right to her hands. Why bother getting upset over such trivial matters?
With beautiful fantasies of the future, Han Siyu drifted into a sweet slumber. But before falling asleep, she didn’t bother to check the exact date. Or perhaps she had already forgotten the days when she was haggard and depressed, to the point where even seeing the date wouldn’t jog her memory.
The next day, after resting well and freshening up, Han Siyu went out to buy some nice clothes, dress herself up, and indulge in a full-body spa treatment. Though this would cost a considerable amount, Han Siyu didn’t care.
In her previous life, once she had so many “good brothers,” she could cycle through their credit cards at will—when had she ever paid attention to prices? Even now, having returned to the past, she couldn’t shake off her old bad habits. Fortunately, the previous Han Siyu had managed to secure a wealthy patron and accumulated a fair amount of money. Otherwise, her current extravagant lifestyle would have been unsustainable.
Of course, Han Siyu didn’t see this as extravagance. She believed she was merely making early investments in herself. After all, if she didn’t polish herself to perfection, how could she charm those “brothers” into showering her with affection?
Running her fingers through her newly styled, silky hair, she flashed a smile—innocent yet alluring—in the mirror. Her gaze seemed to hook onto whoever she looked at, as if ready to steal their heart. Satisfied, Han Siyu nodded to herself.
*Dear Brother Yan, your Sisi is coming to find you. Aren’t you happy? Though Brother Yan’s ending might not be the best, since he loved Sisi so much, surely dying for her would bring him joy, right? After all, Sisi was just an innocent victim! Brother Yan loved Sisi so much—he wouldn’t hold a grudge, would he?*
Completely unaware that he was being targeted, Chu Yan suddenly sneezed. Across from him, Xu Yi’an immediately tensed up. “Yan-Yan-Yan-Yan, why are you sneezing? Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold?”
Wrapped in Xu Yi’an’s embrace, Chu Yan felt both helpless and sweetly content.
Xu Yi’an, who had been sent down from headquarters for training—and to oversee collaboration with the branch company—had been finding all sorts of excuses to stick to Chu Yan’s side. Whether it was unfamiliarity with the company’s operations, needing guidance for new tasks, or simply requiring leadership, Xu Yi’an had become practically inseparable from Chu Yan.
Yes, the two had even started living together. And truth be told, Chu Yan was quite happy about this change. Having someone by his side eased the loneliness he used to feel. Though some of his private quirks being discovered was a bit embarrassing, the feeling of being pampered and loved was undeniably addictive.
Moreover, with someone now overseeing his meals and daily care, Chu Yan’s stomach and overall health had improved significantly. And so, bit by bit, Xu Yi’an had carved a place in Chu Yan’s heart.
Surrounded by Xu Yi’an’s presence, the eerie feeling of being watched earlier vanished without a trace. After exchanging a few words, Chu Yan returned to discussing work and personal matters, completely dismissing the fleeting sensation.
Meanwhile, Xu Yi’an, happily glued to Chu Yan’s side, had no idea what kind of “gift” or “surprise” awaited him in the near future—one he certainly didn’t want.
As the workday ended, Chu Yan, as the general manager, set an example by staying late to tackle the mounting workload, just as he had in recent days. Though Xu Yi’an worried about his beloved’s health, seeing Chu Yan so diligent and hardworking only made his heart race.
*Truly, a focused man is irresistible!*
Xu Yi’an stroked his chin, scheming ways to showcase his masculine charm and win Chu Yan’s heart sooner. But glancing at the time and seeing Chu Yan fully absorbed in work, he sighed and excused himself to fetch dinner.
*His beloved’s stomach was delicate—of course, it needed careful attention! If Chu Yan wouldn’t take care of himself, then Xu Yi’an, as his suitor and boyfriend, would do it for him. But what to buy for dinner—something delicious and nutritious? Ah, what a headache.*
Just as Xu Yi’an pondered over dinner options, a deranged woman suddenly dashed out and blocked his car. If not for his slow speed and quick reflexes, who knows what might have happened?
Frowning at the woman blocking his path, Xu Yi’an’s impression of Han Siyu plummeted instantly. *Who is this? Trying to commit suicide by car?*
Unaware of his thoughts, Han Siyu was thrilled to see a familiar face and car. *It’s Brother An!*
Though in her past life, Xu Yi’an (Brother An) had always opposed her and Brother Ze, Han Siyu knew it was only because he loved her too much—so much that he was willing to break ties with his family, fight his own brother, and sacrifice everything.
*Because he loved her so deeply, he turned dark after she chose Brother Ze and after his own brother, Xu Yiping (Brother Ping), died saving her. Though it pained her, Han Siyu couldn’t bring herself to blame Brother An. After all, she understood—he was just too devoted to her.*
*Kind-hearted as she was, how could she bear to resent Brother An? They had simply missed their chance. Even when he hurt her, his heart must have been breaking. How could she add to his suffering?*
To her surprise, she had run into Brother An here!
Desperate to escape the shabby room that symbolized her pitiful past, Han Siyu longed to return to her luxurious life—where she was adored, pampered, and idolized. The moment she saw Brother An, she lost control.
Though this wasn’t the time or place where they had met in her past life, it didn’t matter. The moment Brother An saw her, he would fall deeply in love with her again, willingly giving her everything! This time, she had decided to keep all her brothers—she wouldn’t let Brother An down! If he was willing to help her now, she’d even grant him extra affection!
With these thoughts, Han Siyu charged forward.
Seeing that the woman was unharmed, Xu Yi’an prepared to drive around her. But Han Siyu wasn’t about to let him go so easily. She lunged at the driver’s side door like a bandit trying to hijack the car.
Xu Yi’an rolled his eyes. Not only was the car’s security system not so easily breached, but he himself had trained since childhood and served in the military—his combat skills far surpassed what this frail woman could handle. *What was this blind, crazy woman trying to achieve by attacking his car?*
Han Siyu reached the driver’s window, tossing her hair with practiced grace. She batted her eyelashes at Xu Yi’an. “Such a handsome man! Why don’t we get to know each other?”
Though their first meeting was abrupt, Han Siyu was in a hurry to escape her current life and return to one where she could buy whatever she wanted, where grievances were instantly avenged, and where luxury was handed to her effortlessly.
Moreover, her “brothers” weren’t easy to encounter. If she couldn’t meet them, how could she seduce them? In her past life, she had relied on Chu Yan (Brother Yan) to meet them. But now, she had stumbled upon Brother An—someone of even higher status than Brother Yan.
*This was fate’s doing—a destined miracle and love!*
All these thoughts made Han Siyu lose control the moment she saw Xu Yi’an.
Confident that Brother An’s love for her would overlook the awkwardness of their first meeting, Han Siyu was lost in her delusions.
Xu Yi’an, however, found the whole thing laughable.
With his status, looks, and abilities, Xu Yi’an had no shortage of admirers. But this was the first time someone had tried to “confess” or seduce him by throwing themselves at his car like a suicidal maniac.
*Did she really think this would pique his interest? How naive.*
