The attentive expression, the loving look, the long fluttering eyelashes, the jade-white hands caressing his cheeks, and the alluring red lips giving off pink luster like rose petals.

Ding Ning drooped his eyes, feeling miserable, and complained in his mind, "She is so seductive. This is a test of my ability to act like a gentleman."

He wished he could hold her in his arms regardless of all the bad consequences and crazily suck her red lips, but her slap just made him realize that Mu Yanran was a girl who cherished her chastity and also sincerely treated him as his younger brother.

If he offended her again, he would be an animal and would not forgive himself.

He hurriedly went back one step, massaged his cheek, embarrassedly smiled and said, "Sister, I am okay because my skin is hard and thick."

A tinge of red color secretly appeared on the cheeks of Mu Yanran because she also realized that her gesture just now was overly close.

She regarded him as her brother, but he was not her blood brother after all, and over closeness would easily make him think beyond normal relations and their relationship become ambiguous.

She coughed awkwardly. "As long as you don’t blame me."

"How come? I am not so mean."

"Are you suggesting I am mean?"

"Humph! You are mean. What’s the matter of your brother kissing you? Outside China, a man and a woman who have never met each other before can hug and kiss when they meet. Our kiss is so pure, and why do you regard it as something so serious?"

Ding Ning had a miserable expression, hid his filthy idea beneath it, and made the kiss become the one between sister and brother.

As expected, Mu Yanran, a simple girl, began blaming herself right now, thinking, "Yes, what the matter of my brother is kissing me? Foreigners also meet and kiss as a tradition, and I really overreacted about it."

Thinking in this way, Mu Yanran felt guiltier and guiltier of herself, blushing, and said, "It was my fault mainly because that was my first kiss. I was really nervous."

"First kiss? That was good. Beautiful things should always be reserved for me. Don’t know who will have the chance to enjoy your beauty in the future. It’s so miserable to think about it..."

Ding Ning became excited as if he had taken drugs and spoke jealously. When seeing Mu Yanran’s face turning darker and darker, he knew he had spoken the wrong thing and instantly shut his mouth like a tamed animal.

Mu Yanran felt funny and also angry, thinking, "This brother is really funny and dares to speak anything." She also had some inexplicable joy in her heart, "Is he jealous of his future brother-in-law?"

What she didn’t know was that Ding Ning was also struggling to make a decision. He blamed himself a little and felt somewhat proud too. Originally, he decided to treat her as his sister and enjoy her love and spoiling.

But the joke he made just now suddenly made him sad, and he immediately realized that he had always been subconsciously regarding her as the woman he wanted to sleep with.

The seemingly unintentional kiss was in fact the subconscious reflection of his possessive desire. He approached her in the name of the sister-brother relationship to make her form a habit of getting seamlessly close to him.

A habit was something so terrifying that it could subtly turn their sister-brother relationship to one of the lovers slowly and gradually.

But he knew he could not hasten to it because Mu Yanran was different from other girls: She was very traditional and conservative and kept exceptionally highly alert. If he hastened, she would be scared, and there wouldn’t be a good result.

Instantly, he took her hands and pulled her to the sofa, asking, "Sister, tell me, what is troubling you on earth?"

Mu Yanran wanted to get rid of his hands that were taking hers, but since she had already slapped him, was still blaming herself for it, and noticed his look had no filth, she allowed him.

"In the beginning, our company planned to look for someone to sell the two glass type jade ornaments you put in our company to raise money, but after they were examined by experts, General Manager Sun decided to sell them at auction."

Speaking of her serious business, Mu Yanran became reenergized, saying, "You cannot imagine how popular the two glass type ornaments have become. The nationwide jade carving masters have swarmed here to ask for seeing the jade carving master."

"You haven’t promised them?" Ding Ning felt nervous because he didn’t want to become a jade carving master who drew too much attention.

"Of course not, I am not stupid. Without your permission, how could I personally make the decision? I haven’t even told them your name, and I only excused myself to say that I came across a great master by chance, and he doesn’t want to be present before the public."

Mu Yanran covered her mouth and smiled, gently looking at him with admiration and pride in her eyes. "Brother, you are exceptionally great. You cannot imagine the pious expression of these once haughty jade carving masters as they examined and appreciated the ornaments you carved. It was like they were on a pilgrimage. Thinking about it makes me laugh."

Being so much admired by her, Ding Ning felt a little proud and playfully said, "Because I am your brother."

"It has nothing to do with being my brother. It is only because of your excellent carving skill. Don’t you know that? After discovering the carving traces you left in the jade works, these masters all agreed that your works were results of uncanny workmanship, like something made by nature and without manmade traces. They think you’ve created a new school of carving, which they named School of the Divine Burin, and you have been respectfully called by them Master of the Divine Burin. Since the news of your jade works to be auctioned was spread, these days, top-level jade carving masters have swarmed into Ninghai. They speak admire your jade works very much and highly of them, and even the headquarters has known the news. Vice president Wang had already arrived in the morning. In the beginning, we only planned to sell the two glass type ornaments at auction, but vice president Wang reproached us that we were dumping treasures like rubbish, and forced us to take out the other 39 ice type pendants to sell at auction. The auction house has spread the information that the jade works of the School of the Divine Burin sell at auction on October 1st, and foreign collectors have even got the information and are leaving in flocks for Ninghai to attend the auction."

Mu Yanran seemed to have not expected such an influential event, feeling a little afraid and sticking her tongue out. "Fortunately, the Moon-dragon jade you gave me is not yet known by others. Otherwise, those who want to take a look must make all efforts to take it from me to examine and appreciate."

Ding Ning frowned and asked, "That Wang Xianghua has arrived?"

With some confusion in her eyes, Mu Yanran asked, "How did you know vice president Wang’s name is Wang Xianghua?"

Ding Ning was shocked, "Oh, my God!" Momentarily, he had forgotten that only the Black Masked Man knew he was Wang Xianghua, he shouldn’t have known his name, and then he hurriedly fooled her by saying, "You are my sister. Although I haven’t come recently, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t paid attention to your company’s affairs. I especially checked documents and then knew the vice president Wang that was coming to your company to inspect work is named Wang Xianghua."

When Ding Ning noticed Mu Yanran’s suspicious look that meant she didn’t completely believe him, he instantly changed the subject. "Besides that, sister, auctioning should usually be a good thing, but why do I feel that you are worried about something? What is your problem?"

Speaking of the serious business, Mu Yanran was successfully distracted as expected, and angrily said, "General Manager Sun has bad relations with Wang Xianghua and asked me to take the responsibility to receive him, but I felt that Wang Xianghua had evil wishes toward me, always staring at me and even trying to touch me. Tonight I was late because he insisted I take him to appreciate the night view of Ninghai. I tried so hard to refuse him but had to promise to have dinner with him tomorrow evening, and then I could leave."

Speaking of this, Mu Yanran anxiously said, "He is the vice president of the headquarters, and I am responsible for receiving him. So, I have no reason to refuse him, but I hate him very much. Brother, can you go with me tomorrow evening?"

Ding Ning had coldness in his eyes and coldly snorted. "The b*stard dares to think about building intimate relations with you! To hell with him! Where does he stay?"

"Now, everything is but my guess, and he is the vice president of the headquarters after all. Don’t be impulsive!"

Mu Yanran felt her heart became warm, gently looking at Ding Ning, and warned.

"Sister, I have a sense of propriety and won’t push you into a dilemma. I must go with you tomorrow evening."

Ding Ning mischievously smiled. "But, sister, what identity should I use when I go with you that time?"

"Of course, the identity of my brother."

Mu Yanran became relieved after her problem was solved and joyfully and gracefully spoke.

"Sister, do you think this identity can get rid of his greedy desire of you?"

Ding Ning induced her with an ulterior motive. "I think it is suitable for me to go as you boyfriend, for this identity will make that b*stard give up and also announce that you already have your Mr. Right, and that can drive away those lascivious men."

"Don’t think about it! You are a rogue! I think you want to make intimate contacts with me by taking the chance."

Being very clear-sighted, Mu Yanran had seen him through and ferociously glared at him.

"You’ve misunderstood me. Sister, I am really thinking about your good. Think about it. Don’t you think it is weird for you to take your brother to attend others’ dinner party?"

Ding Ning complained as if he had been misunderstood, but he was secretly pleased because playing his boyfriend meant that he would be able to make intimate contacts with her in broad daylight.

Mu Yanran looked at him suspiciously, but after seeing his earnest expression, which seemed not to be fake, she thought, "Have I really thought too much?"

After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly thought of that mysteriously missing male who had some contacts with her and became afraid at once, and then she firmly shook her head. "No, you can only go as my brother."

"Sister, we don’t share the same family name. If you say I am your brother, do you think he will believe it?"

Ding Ning had not given up yet and analyzed the situation, his eyeballs rolling in their sockets.

"Believe or not, but anyway, you can only go as my brother. Otherwise, I would rather go alone."

Mu Yanran decisively spoke to show her determined will.

"That, that is good. Let me be your brother."

Seeing she was determined, Ding Ning felt somewhat disappointed and muttered.

Mu Yanran smiled. "Behave well. Don’t turn off your phone tomorrow and I will send you the location in advance."

"Okay!" Ding Ning said disappointedly.

"Then, that..."

Mu Yanran spoke and paused because the thing was hard to tell.

"Sister, tell me whatever you want to tell."

Ding Ning was activated, looking at her with anticipation, and thought, "Has she changed her mind?"

"That... have you sold out the two jade ornaments of yours?"

Mu Yanran felt embarrassed and asked.

"Not yet, what’s up? Sister, you want them?"

"Yes, but I don’t have so much money. Can I pay you after the auction? If not possible, just ignore my request!"

Mu Yanran slightly blushed and thought herself a little too greedy.

"No, that’s not a big deal. Cannot I believe you? They are in my car, and I will take them to you in a while."

Ding Ning casually replied as if they were not over 1 billion yuan jade items but street vendors’ goods which were only worth over 10 yuan.

During these days, he had many things to deal with and hadn’t had time to sell his jade items. Now, he could sell them to Mu Yanran, and that could save his trouble.

Mu Yanran pressed her lips tight, her beautiful eyes full of love, and she was moved and said, "How can you believe me so much? Aren’t you afraid I run away with your money?"

Ding Ning grinned, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said, "If I don’t believe you, whom should I believe?"

Mu Yanran was greatly moved and suddenly tiptoed to kiss him on the face.

"Uh!" Astounded, Ding Ning looked at her, rubbing the part that she had kissed, and smirked happily.

Mu Yanran blushed and her heart crazily beat; she didn’t dare to see his hot eyes, pretended to be calm and turned her head away from him. "Don’t think too much. I just want to thank you for believing me. Perhaps I am a real swindler and will run away with your money."

"Hehe, even though someone gave me the whole world, I would not give him your kiss, not to mention two jade items."

Ding Ning could think of sweet nothings whenever he wished, and they made Mu Yanran even much shier, so that she snapped with shyness and timidity, "Oily tongue!"
