Chapter 702: No Way to Deceive Yourself

Seeing Zhou Mingchen, Zhou Minglan immediately got out of the car and put one hand on the car, "Brother, why are you so late?"

Xu Yi's words left Zhou Mingchen speechless.

But it must be said that there were a few words that pierced his heart deeply.

This might be the power of blood. Even though they hadn't been together for so many years, she could see his timidity at a glance.

Seeing that he was distracted, Zhou Minglan called him again, "Brother, why don't you even look at me?"

Zhou Minglan was wearing a deep V blue long skirt today, with a coat of the same color on the outside. Her hair was hanging down to one side, and she had long blue earrings and a set of exquisite jewelry around her neck.

The scar on her face was not repaired properly, so she beautified it along the wound and pasted pearls on it to modify it, so that there was no unusual mark.

"elder brother……"

Zhou Mingchen got in the car, and Zhou Minglan put one hand on the car and prepared to get in as well.

Zhou Minglan had just stuck her head into the car when Zhou Mingchen raised his eyes and asked, "Where did you get the keys?"

Zhou Minglan was stunned. "There is..."

"Give me the key."

Zhou Mingchen stretched out his hand, and Zhou Minglan had no choice but to give him the key. She casually sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.

There was a cold and solemn atmosphere in the air. Zhou Mingchen smelled the strong perfume on Zhou Minglan. He turned his head and saw the area on her chest.

Zhou Mingchen frowned slightly, "Where did you go again?"

"I attended a cocktail party. I can't just sit there doing nothing in Jiangcheng. I want to meet more people. There are so many ways to get to know people in China. It's very exciting."

Zhou Minglan's voice was soft, and it sounded a bit like the sarcastic and cunning voice of a Jiangcheng woman.

Zhou Mingchen retracted his gaze, looked straight ahead, and continued driving.

"When will Owen be allowed to come back?"

Zhou Minglan asked tentatively, but Zhou Mingchen didn't say anything.

“Brother… who made you angry? You are not in a good mood.”

"I'll take you back."

Zhou Mingchen only said this coldly, without any intention of responding.

His state made Zhou Minglan uneasy. "I'll stay at your place and talk to you."

If Xu Yi hadn't reminded him, Zhou Mingchen would never have realized that he and Zhou Minglan were so close.

Living under the same roof, they didn't even avoid suspicion.

He knew that they were not biological siblings, but he had always raised her as his own sister. Over the years, he gave Minglan everything that Mingxin lacked.

Looking at Zhou Minglan's clothes, his eyes, and the smell of perfume on her body, Zhou Mingchen felt like his head was about to explode.

I hope Zhou Minglan just hasn't realized it yet, and isn't doing it on purpose.

Suddenly, Zhou Mingchen's car stopped at the intersection, and the forward movement of the brakes made Zhou Minglan's breathing tighten.

She blinked her eyes, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Her eyelashes were also painted with a layer of blue frosting, which made her look charming and attractive.

Zhou Mingchen gripped the steering wheel tightly, "Mingxin told you last time, right?"

"what?"

Zhou Minglan's heart tightened, and she pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth.

"Whether you are my biological sister or not, I will treat you the same as before. Minglan, don't feel any sense of crisis. Mother doesn't know about this. She has always been thinking about the three of us in her heart all these years."

Zhou Mingchen rarely said these words because they were too direct.

He had always been good to her silently, and at most was a little serious with her about Xu Yi's affairs.

Or maybe she had made some mistake, which was why he spoke to her in that tone.

After the last time, Zhou Minglan had been extremely uneasy. The more uneasy she was, the more she wanted to do something.

"I know, I know you care about me in your heart."

"I'm your brother, it's my duty, don't feel any psychological burden."

Zhou Minglan suddenly thought of Xu Yi's pitiful appearance, so she gritted her teeth and said softly, "You won't chase me away, will you?"

"No, you are from the Zhou family. You are my sister. Mingxin's identity has not been announced yet. Outsiders only know that there is a Zhou Minglan in the Zhou family... Everyone knows that you are my sister."

Zhou Minglan breathed a sigh of relief, "But I feel like you're distancing yourself from me lately."

"It's not that we are alienated. It's because you are my younger sister. Minglan, you have grown up... I can no longer treat you the same way as before. You are a girl."

Zhou Mingchen gripped the steering wheel, his movements revealing a hint of uneasiness.

He had no idea what Zhou Minglan was thinking, but he thought he had been very blunt in his words.

Zhou Minglan's hand suddenly covered Zhou Mingchen's hand, "Brother..."

As if burned by something, Zhou Mingchen's hand immediately moved away from the steering wheel. Zhou Minglan just felt the warmth of his fingers, but they suddenly became cold and she reached out empty-handed.

Her hand stayed in the air, "Brother, why are you hiding?"

"Minglan, we are brother and sister. I will always be your brother. I will take you back."

"Do you like that Joanna?" If it weren't for this matter, she wouldn't have come out so quickly and wanted to show her presence in front of him.

"Who I like has nothing to do with you. You are just my sister. Mingxin never cares who I like. She won't interfere with me."

"Of course, she is your biological sister."

Zhou Mingchen's heart skipped a beat. He said so much, but she didn't hear a word he said.

Zhou Mingchen drove the car, not caring that Zhou Minglan's eyes suddenly darkened, and just drove her back.

He didn't even look at her. Zhou Minglan's eyes were filled with tears. "You keep saying you'll treat me the same as always, but you weren't like this before!"

At the door of Zhou Minglan's residence in Jiangcheng, Zhou Mingchen stopped the car and said, "Go upstairs and go to bed early."

"You are lying. In your heart, there is a difference between me and Xu Yi. She is your biological sister, and I am not. You treat her differently."

"No."

He wanted to get closer to Xu Yi, but Xu Yi was unwilling.

As for Zhou Minglan, her recent behavior had to arouse his vigilance.

"Yes, but you won't admit it. You say it so nicely, but in your heart, you don't even consider me your own sister!"

Zhou Minglan refused to get out of the car. "I want to live with you. I'm scared. I don't want to live alone."

"get off."

Zhou Mingchen said in a cold tone, "Don't let me say it a second time."

"elder brother!"

Zhou Minglan suddenly hugged him, and her tears fell on his suit jacket.

For the first time, Zhou Mingchen felt disgusted with her. It was too much.

It was so extreme that he couldn't even deceive himself.

"Zhou Minglan."

Zhou Mingchen didn't move, but laughed out loud, "Do you really think I'm a fool?"

He has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run. Over the years, many women have thrown themselves at him, but he doesn't like them.

"Are you trying to seduce me under the guise of being my sister?"

Zhou Minglan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes changed.
