\u201cSister-in-law, why are you looking at me and smiling like that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei felt a bit uneasy under his sister-in-law\u2019s gaze.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, his eldest brother wasn\u2019t around\u2014otherwise, that glare alone would have been enough to kill him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t remember Miss Lan\u2019s phone number. Do you have it? Give it to me. I\u2019ll call her and ask if she\u2019s free to go shopping with me tonight and enjoy the night view of Yangcheng.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a tourist city, Yangcheng was bustling even late into the night. It wasn\u2019t uncommon to see tourists out and about well past midnight.<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei said, \u201cOf course I remember\u2014her number\u2019s engraved in my brain. Even if I lost my memory, I\u2019d still know it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As her long-time rival, he knew her preferences, her pet peeves, her phone number\u2014and even her measurements.<\/p>\n

But Zhan Wei didn\u2019t dare say any of that aloud, fearing his sister-in-law would misunderstand and think he was interested in Lan Ruoruo.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t. That woman\u2026 well, she wasn\u2019t bad. Ignoring their business rivalry, they\u2019d actually be a pretty good match.<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei called Lan Ruoruo right away, but she took a moment before answering.<\/p>\n

Before he could say a word, Lan Ruoruo snapped, \u201cZhan Wei, are you done yet? Since when did you become so shameless? Is your last name Lai* or something? You\u2019re blaming everything on me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m warning you\u2014if you call me again asking for a meal or some kind of compensation, I\u2019ll tell Sister Tong. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I\u2019m sure Sister Tong can handle you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei had great respect for his sister-in-law.<\/p>\n

Maybe it really would help if Sister Tong had a word with him.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo always believed she was in the right.<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei sighed, \u201c\u2026Lan Ruoruo, can you not jump to conclusions before I even open my mouth? Can\u2019t you wait for me to say something first?\u201d
\n\u201cMy last name is Zhan, not Lai. And if you\u2019re calling me shameless, you\u2019re not much better yourself. We\u2019re all just older siblings\u2014don\u2019t mock your younger brother. We\u2019re pretty much the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright then, let\u2019s hear what great excuse you\u2019ve come up with,\u201d Lan Ruoruo replied, curious about the reason for his call.<\/p>\n

Instead of responding, Zhan Wei handed the phone to Serenity and let her do the talking.<\/p>\n

Taking the phone, Serenity said with a warm smile, \u201cMiss Lan, it\u2019s me\u2014Serenity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSister Tong?\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as Lan Ruoruo heard her voice, her tone softened. \u201cSister Tong, you\u2019re the one looking for me? Did you ask Zhan Wei to call?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Serenity replied. \u201cI wanted to take the kids out for a stroll. Zhan Wei didn\u2019t know which spots had the best night views. You once mentioned helping arrange a local guide, so\u2026 I thought I\u2019d trouble you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity said this a bit shyly.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo responded cheerfully, \u201cSister Tong, I\u2019ll arrange a local guide for you tomorrow to show you around and make your Yangcheng visit worthwhile. I\u2019m not free tonight, so I\u2019ll personally take you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though Zhan Wei has lived in Yangcheng for a few years and even bought a house here, he still doesn\u2019t know his way around. He needs GPS just to get around. Without it, he probably can\u2019t even remember the route from his company to his home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei, who was sitting nearby, could clearly hear Lan Ruoruo\u2019s voice. When she said that about him, he wanted to argue\u2014but stopped himself, knowing it would only start another fight.<\/p>\n

More importantly, what she said was mostly true.<\/p>\n

He really did rely on navigation. Without it, getting from home to the company would be a struggle.<\/p>\n

His sense of direction was\u2026 let\u2019s just say, not his strong suit.<\/p>\n
