Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 108

“Wow, it’s the 21st century, and people still get called old master and young master. Is he living in the Qing Dynasty or a feudal era?” Xue Nanjing couldn’t help but mock. “Could he be a human trafficker, thinking I’m handsome and trying to kidnap me?”

Sensing his brother’s bad mood, Xue Nanjing tried to lighten the atmosphere with jokes, but Xue Wu didn’t react as usual by ruffling his hair. Instead, he silently carried the shopping bags and led Xue Nanjing out of the mall, taking a roundabout way home.

Xue Nanjing, being the top student in his school and winner of the physics competition, was no fool. He sensed something was wrong from Xue Wu’s silence and tentatively asked, “Bro, that guy… was he telling the truth?”

“Screech—”

The car’s tires left a dark mark on the road, and Xue Nanjing almost hit the windshield. Wide-eyed, he turned to look at Xue Wu, who had just slammed on the brakes.

Luckily, there was no one on this road, avoiding a traffic accident.

As the car restarted, Xue Nanjing glanced at Xue Wu’s expression and dared not speak again.

Just as they reached their apartment building, thinking the matter was over, Xue Wu suddenly said, “Yes.”

Xue Nanjing was stunned, then realized what Xue Wu had answered. His expression grew confused and slightly panicked, “But bro, you said our biological father died long ago?”

“Just assume he’s dead,” Xue Wu said coldly. “Don’t bring this up again. If you encounter someone like that man again, just call the police.”

Xue Nanjing nodded, “Got it.”

Xue Wu’s expression softened as they went home together.

But Xue Wu’s heart wasn’t as calm as it appeared.

The Qin family was large and powerful. If that man reported back, they would surely send someone to find them. Finding them was only a matter of time. Although Xue Nanjing’s household registration was with him and he took care of him, he feared the Qin family would seize the custody right, citing Xue Nanjing’s minority.

Xue Wu entered the kitchen and started preparing a lavish dinner.

The online world was bustling. Relaxing on the sofa, Xue Nanjing saw the trending news, angrily cursing Cheng Tianya and feeling sorry for Ruan Qiu, shouting to his brother in the kitchen to make more of her favorite dishes.

Sneakily, he took Xue Wu’s phone, planning to unfollow Cheng Tianya, only to find his brother had never followed her. The only female celebrity in his follow list was his sister-in-law.

Seeing that, Xue Nanjing felt satisfied.

He cheerfully went to help in the kitchen. When the doorbell rang, he was the first to rush to open it, beaming, “Hello, sister!”

Ruan Qiu, holding a bag of apples, smiled back, “Hello.”

Taking the bag from her, Xue Nanjing asked, “Sister, do you remember me?”

“Of course,” Ruan Qiu nodded. “You’re Xue Nanjing. Congratulations on winning first place today.”

Blushing, Xue Nanjing thanked her and quickly invited her to the sofa, setting out a spread of snacks and fruits for her to enjoy.

Xue Wu emerged from the kitchen, greeted Ruan Qiu, then lightly smacked Xue Nanjing’s head. “Why are you shouting? If you fill up on snacks, will you still eat dinner?”

Rubbing his head, Xue Nanjing got up, glanced at his brother and Ruan Qiu, and wisely ran to the kitchen, claiming he needed to help serve the dishes, leaving them some alone time.

That day, Ruan Qiu wore a floral dress. Her makeup skills had improved significantly after much practice. Noticing Xue Wu’s gaze lingering on her lips, she couldn’t help but ask, “I put on some rose-colored lipstick… Does it look bad?”

“No, it looks great,” Xue Wu replied sincerely. “It suits you very well.”

It wasn’t just love making her seem beautiful. Ruan Qiu, with her gentle style, looked stunning. Without eyebrow makeup, her natural brow shape softened her initially striking features, and her loose hair made her look like an ideal first love.

“You seem unhappy today,” Ruan Qiu suddenly said.

Xue Wu was taken aback, not expecting Ruan Qiu to notice his mood. Not wanting to spoil her mood with his issues, he shook his head and smiled, “No, let’s eat. The food is ready.”

Seeing he didn’t want to talk about it, Ruan Qiu didn’t press further and followed him to the dining table.

In fact, before coming here with Xue Wu’s address, Ruan Qiu had assumed an actor like him, who wasn’t short of money, would live in a luxurious mansion with many servants. But his place was similar to hers, a quiet community with good security, far from the city center, and not overly spacious, probably less than 200 square meters.

The house was simply decorated, but one glance showed many of Xue Nanjing’s belongings, giving it a homey feel.

Sitting at the table, Ruan Qiu noticed Xue Nanjing poured them all sparkling water and excitedly raised his glass, “Today is a double celebration, let’s toast!”

Ruan Qiu smiled and exchanged a glance with Xue Wu before clinking glasses and sipping the peach-flavored sparkling water.

She noticed that over half the dishes on the table were her favorites, suspecting that Xue Wu remembered her preferences from their last meal together.

Feeling touched by his effort, she resolved to try hard as well.

Throughout the meal, Ruan Qiu paid attention to what Xue Wu ate, noting which dishes he took more of, making Xue Wu nervous, thinking she was monitoring his eating habits. He ended up eating twice as much as usual.

Watching them, Xue Nanjing couldn’t help but sigh: Is this the power of love?

After dinner, Xue Wu went to clean up in the kitchen. Ruan Qiu intended to leave, but Xue Nanjing stopped her.

“Sister, I want to show you something,” he said mysteriously.

He led Ruan Qiu to Xue Wu’s study, showing her a wall of trophies and awards, boasting about his brother’s abilities, “Sister, my brother is very skilled. These are all his awards. As an actress, you can practice scenes with him, help with scripts… he can do anything!”

“And my brother is a good cook too,” Xue Nanjing continued praising. “He’s strict with me because I’m naughty, but he’s very kind to others, never violent. He remembers everything you say and will go all out to be good to you.”

“Because of his picky eating, his health wasn’t great, but he’s got all the necessary muscles, does his own stunts,” Xue Nanjing counted on his fingers, “Now he’s not picky, eats a balanced diet, is healthy and fit, so that aspect should be fine too.”

“In short, my brother is very popular for a reason. You won’t regret being with him.”
