Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1136 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 59)

Tan Jiashu's doubts had already piled up like a mountain.

He had previously thought it impossible, even suspecting his brother might have had sexual orientation issues, but he never imagined it was because of his sister. But now…

From Xie Chenzhou's urgent phone call at 3 a.m., to blocking his way downstairs early in the morning, to his constant clinging to his sister all day long, almost openly, everything about him seemed abnormal.

Especially the way Xie Chenzhou looked at Miaomiao; having been brothers for so long, he was very familiar with Xie Chenzhou's gaze.

The idea that we could be brothers because we shared similar interests was just empty talk. Xie Chenzhou was a typical businessman, the kind of person everyone admired. The reason we became brothers was mostly because of his powerful connections.

Therefore, he was very familiar with Xie Chenzhou's gaze—calm and composed, yet full of strategic planning. But today was different. The look in Xie Chenzhou's eyes towards his sister revealed a burning passion and obsession, almost quite obvious.

Perhaps his mother and sister didn't notice, but he wasn't blind; he saw it very clearly.

Is this the kind of attitude one should have towards a "friend's sister"?

This was clearly a possessive desire that was determined to win, like an invisible net, silently trying to envelop Miaomiao.

As soon as dinner was over, Tan Jiashu made an excuse and forcibly pulled Xie Chenzhou to a quiet corner of the courtyard, his face so serious it could drip water.

"Chen Zhou, what's wrong with you today?"

Let me tell you this upfront: we can be brothers, but not brother-in-law.

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

There's nothing else to it. From the very beginning, he never thought Xie Chenzhou could do the things a brother-in-law should do, though he was very competent as a brother.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Chenzhou's tense aura suddenly tightened, but the hypocritical gentleness on his face disappeared, leaving only a straightforward and crazy seriousness, without the slightest concealment.

"Then I'm sorry, I came here specifically to become your brother-in-law."

We're brothers, you should trust me more.

You know, I can get it if I want to.

And I solemnly tell you, I love Miaomiao, and I want to marry her and start a family with her.

"Are you crazy?!"

Tan Jiashu felt a chill run down his spine, and his voice rose in disbelief. He felt as if Xie Chenzhou's brain had completely rusted after he fell into a coma.

"You're joking, right?"

Have you forgotten how you rejected Miaomiao before?

You clearly had no feelings for my sister before, and you even told her not to waste her time!

What is going on here? Why is everything so strange after I woke up?

"I haven't forgotten."

Xie Chenzhou's tone was terrifyingly calm, but his eyes were churning with a perverse obsession, a deep-seated obsession that had long since overshadowed all reason.

"Just because I didn't feel anything before doesn't mean I don't feel anything now."

Now I'm absolutely certain that she's the one I want to spend my life with. I hope that as my good brother, you can wish me well, instead of causing me distress.

Tan Jiashu wanted to argue that he was still Miaomiao's brother, but the dog brother had already turned and walked towards the living room, his steps firm and unstoppable.

He didn't seem prepared to listen to my opinion either...

Xie Chenzhou knew, of course, that Tan Jiashu disagreed. He had jokingly said the same thing before, but at that time, Xie Chenzhou had no feelings for Miaomiao. Why would he be angry when someone insignificant told him that he and Miaomiao had no chance at all?

Isn't making money better?

But now, he refuses to listen to anyone say that they are not meant to be or that they are not suitable for each other.

wrong!

They are a perfect match; they are a match made in heaven, an inseparable couple.

Therefore, Xie Chenzhou was not going to sit idly by; he was going to take the initiative.

Not long after returning to his room, Xie Chenzhou took the initiative to find Tan's father. While Xie Chenzhou had begun to independently control the group, Tan's father had not yet relinquished power to the Tan family, and he was the one making all the decisions.

Xie Chenzhou got straight to the point and brought up the matter of the marriage between the two families.

He sat opposite Tan's father, his posture respectful, but his tone carried an undeniable force as he pushed over an agreement that his secretary had brought over that afternoon.

"Uncle, I want to marry Miaomiao."

This is my sincere offer: shares in the Xie Group, and real estate and assets under my name.

"I can give Miaomiao everything I have, as long as we marry, provided that the marriage partner is her."

Tan's father's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the densely packed clauses on the agreement.

The conditions Xie Chenzhou offered were enough to tempt any family; they represented wealth and status that others couldn't earn in several lifetimes.

These things could even rebuild several more Dan families.

But Tan's father still managed to remain rational and suppress his shock.

“Sinking ship, marriage is not a transaction.”

Miaomiao is an independent child; she has her own ideas, and I cannot make that decision for her.

Let you young people get to know each other. If you really develop feelings for each other, her mother and I will naturally support you.

If it's not there, forcing it won't bring happiness. I also hope you can take this matter calmly.

Xie Chenzhou lowered his eyes and simply nodded, but did not respond.

Forcing things is the least desirable approach, but it can also be effective.

Xie Chenzhou lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the obsession and madness in them, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the table.

In this respect, it was as if he had just received the agreement; he hadn't prepared any way out for himself.

Tan's father only heard Xie Chenzhou respond, but he didn't know what Xie was really thinking. He just felt that life was unpredictable, since the head of the Xie family had rejected his daughter before.

Meanwhile, Xie Chenzhou had already notified the Tan family and finally set his sights on Miaomiao, personally confirming her feelings.

Although no matter what she says, it won't change the fact that they're together, Xie Chenzhou hopes that their relationship stems from love.

The Tan family clearly intended to give the two young people some space. When Xie Chenzhou came out of the study, Tan's mother had already gone out to meet friends.

Tan's father then grabbed Tan Jiashu and, under the pretext of having official business to attend to, forcibly took away Tan Jiashu, who was clearly unwilling and still wanted to persuade him further.

The living room fell silent instantly, leaving only Miaomiao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief but was now feeling a chill run down her spine again, and Xie Chenzhou, who was walking slowly toward her.

Xie Chenzhou stood in front of her with a gentle smile on his face, but deep in his eyes was an intense and possessive infatuation.

Miaomiao instinctively wanted to escape.

God knows, this was truly a subconscious reaction. It wasn't that I wasn't grateful to him, but rather that I had this illusion that if I didn't escape, he would stick to me.

"Miaomiao, I like you. Will you accept me?"

Miaomiao shook her head almost subconsciously.

That's right. Even though she is the chosen one, she hasn't enjoyed her freedom enough. She still wants to travel around the world, see all the mountains and rivers, and taste all the local delicacies. She always feels that once she forms a family with Xie Chenzhou, she will be firmly bound and will never have any freedom again.

But when she met Xie Chenzhou's seemingly gentle but actually mad eyes, the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue inexplicably got stuck in her throat.

The obsession in his eyes made her uneasy. She vaguely felt that a direct refusal might lead to even more terrible consequences.

In the end, Miaomiao could only give a vague answer and reluctantly agreed.

"Let's... be friends for now, and we can talk about the future later."
