If I had a younger brother like you, I would beat you to death!
"Haha, Baba, are you courting death?" As soon as Ye Wuqi pocketed the written agreement, he threw an arm around Yan Baba's shoulder and pulled him close. "This is Sister Luo's territory, and President Gong, who is head over heels for her, is right downstairs! How dare you curse Sister Luo? Tell me, aren't you courting death? Huh?"
He even feigned putting Yan Baba in a headlock with the crook of his arm.
Yan Baba immediately played along, begging for mercy.
The two of them burst into a fit of playful laughter.
Qin Zhaowen smiled before turning to look at Ye Luo with a gentle expression. "Little Xingxing wanted to come too, but he felt a bit under the weather today, so he stayed home."
Ye Luo nodded to acknowledge she understood.
Once Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba finished fooling around, Ye Luo led them on a tour of the villa.
With every spot they looked at, their eyes grew wider.
Especially when they wandered into Gong Lü's massive garage.
It was packed to the brim with luxury cars of every imaginable make, model, and color—limited editions, custom builds, classic editions, special editions, commemorative editions, and everything in between. It was even more comprehensive than a motor show or a high-end dealership, dazzling their eyes and leaving them completely overwhelmed.
The moment they stepped into the garage, Ye Wuqi and the others had their eyes popped wide open, and they stayed that way even after they walked out.
They simply couldn't recover from the sheer impact of it all.
"You guys..." Seeing their eyes still dilated with shock, Ye Luo trailed off, wanting to say something. Having seen plenty of luxury cars herself, she didn't think much of it, but they were different.
Ye Wuqi and the others could only manage a single collective response:
"So rich!"
"So rich!"
"So rich!"
"So rich!" Qin Zhaoyu chimed in right on cue. He pointed straight at the massive garage and said to his brother, "Qin Zhaowen, haven't you always asked me when I'd finally change how I address you and call you 'Brother'? Look at this! The day you buy me enough cars to fill this place is the day I start calling you 'Brother'! How about that?!"
"Damn it, if I had a younger brother like you, I'd beat you to death!" Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba cried out in unison.
Who would have thought that Qin Zhaowen would nod heavily with deadpan seriousness? "Deal! I'll work hard! I'll definitely make sure to buy you enough cars as soon as possible so you can call me 'Brother' sooner!"
He even wore an expression as if this had become his ultimate life goal from this moment on.
"Damn, there's no saving him!" Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba decided to wash their hands of Qin Zhaowen, this hopeless brother-pampering maniac.
Ye Luo agreed that Qin Zhaowen was beyond saving.
Lei Xingxing just scratched the back of his head with an honest, goofy smile and said, "Zhaowen, why don't you be my brother too?"
"Get lost, get lost, get lost." Qin Zhaoyu immediately shoved Lei Xingxing far away, stood protectively in front of his brother, and yelled at him, "Are you and Qin Zhaowen twins? You actually expect Qin Zhaowen to be your brother too!"
Before Lei Xingxing could reply, Qin Zhaoyu turned to give his brother a stern warning. "Qin Zhaowen, let me warn you, I'm your only twin. If you dare go outside and casually认 (recognize) any other younger brothers, don't even dream of hearing me call you 'brother' for the rest of your life!"
Looking at the younger brother he raised like a son, Qin Zhaowen spoke in a soft, soothing tone, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, I know. I won't go around recognizing anyone else."
Qin Zhaoyu immediately looked satisfied, giving Lei Xingxing a smug, swaggering look.
Then, his eyes shining with excitement, he pointed back at the massive garage, sidled up to Ye Luo with a ingratiating grin, and asked, "Hey, Sister Luo, I just got my driver's license. Could you let me pick one from inside and take it for a spin? Just for one circle?"
Fearing she might refuse, he even held up a single finger to emphasize that he truly meant just one single circle.
"These cars aren't mine. I can't make that decision," Ye Luo answered honestly.
Qin Zhaoyu's face instantly fell into deep disappointment.
