Before Luo Zhan went downstairs, he made a special trip outside of elder master Luo’s study.

When he arrived, he didn’t go in, merely standing outside the door and waiting. About five minutes later, the heavy and antique double doors of the study pushed open and an impeccably attired man came out.

When he stepped into the long corridor, the slight chilliness in Luo Xiu’s eyes hadn’t faded, and as he raised his eyes, he saw his half-brother, Luo Zhan, lazily leaning against the wall with his hand inserted in his trouser pocket, obviously looking like he was waiting for someone.

Luo Xiu slowed down his steps and smiled lightly, “Your blind little girl is on this floor?”

Luo Zhan, who’d just heard the movement and raised his eyes, paused at his words, “What’s this got to do with her?”

Luo Xiu smiled, “Judging by the importance you attached to her this afternoon, I thought you would be inseparable and follow her around.”

”……”

Luo Zhan tsked in displeasure.

This kind of “blackmail” falling into the hands of Luo Xiu, it was completely expected that he would firmly grasp it and mention it—he had already anticipated this outcome. However, he had chosen to accompany her on the stairs this afternoon; he naturally had no one to blame right now.

Luo Zhan frowned, “I’m looking for you for something.”

Luo Xiu: “Say it.”

”Didn’t you already wish grandpa happy birthday? Don’t show up at the banquet later tonight.” After Luo Zhan finished, his eyes mockingly looked at Luo Xiu, “You actually dislike this kind of occasion, anyway. You’re obviously as cold as an ice cube inside, but you wear a fake refined and gentle disguise every day—aren’t you tired?”

Luo Xiu didn’t reply directly, instead lowering his head with a smile, “Are you afraid that if I show my face, your blind little girl will find out that you’re actually not Luo Xiu at all?”

”Mm, yes.” Luo Zhan lazily answered, his attitude actually quite calm.

Luo Xiu: “So obviously you came to me for help, why’d you say it like you’re giving me a deal?”

Luo Zhan said lazily, “Mutually beneficial win-win situation.”

”It’s not a mutually beneficial situation when it really only benefits you.” Luo Xiu smiled gently.

”……”

Luo Zhan was silent for a few seconds and smiled, but his eyes were still cold and indifferent: “I heard that you want to run your own media company—grandpa won’t let you, right?”

Luo Xiu smiled gently, his eyes without ripples.

Luo Zhan: “If you promise me not to show up tonight, I’ll help you out if there are difficulties later on.”

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, “I know your INT has been improving the past two years, but it shouldn’t be able to guarantee me anything right now?”

”But at least, grandpa’s attention on me is still distant, nowhere near as close as his focus on you.” Luo Zhan walked over, looking arrogant, “I understand your determination to break away from the Luo family as fast as possible and dump the burden on me. After all, I have no less urgency than you in this regard—but you’re still a bit too eager, so your tail’s been caught by the old man, right?”

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, still with that gentle smile; refined and harmless.

But also under this mask-like, unchanging smile, the man’s tone when he spoke again was already cool: “If you piss me off now, then I won’t take your situation in consideration and you might as well throw away your ‘mutually beneficial’ proposal.”

Luo Xiu raised his eyes and smiled, “If my guess is right, you’re lying to that little girl because you’re afraid that she’ll know that you’re Luo Zhan—the person who’s going to be engaged to her older sister. If she really knew, she would immediately have to avoid you and hide far away, right?”

Luo Zhan immediately frowned. After a long silence, he glanced at Luo Xiu with displeasure, “Then I’m assuming you agree.” Luo Zhan lost his expression and turned around, ready to go towards the stairs.

The voice behind stopped him, “You and that little girl named Tang Ran, how do you know her?”

”……”

Luo Zhan paused in his steps. A few seconds later, he stopped and turned back, “What are you asking this for?”

Luo Xiu smiled lightly, “Curious. After all, in my impression, you only like girls with pretty eyes—although according to your standards, there may not be any pretty eyes in this world at all.”

”There are, you just don’t have the fate to see them.” Luo Zhan replied coldly, “And who said I like Tang Ran? She’s nothing more than a little girl who hasn’t even grown up yet.”

Luo Xiu: “If you don’t like her, why did you come all the way to me for her?”

The air was silent for a few seconds. Luo Zhan collected his thoughts, his smile mischievous and cold: “That counts as liking her? …..Don’t feel like caring about you anymore, you’re inexplicable.”

After saying that, suppressing the unspeakable irritation at the bottom of his heart, Luo Zhan turned around and once again, took a step.

The laughter behind reached him, making a person’s hearts more agitated—

”Really don’t like?”

”Don’t like.” Luo Zhan’s face was cold.

”This is something you said yourself, don’t go back on it later.”

”……”

Stopping at the head of the stairway, Luo Zhan sneered, gritted his teeth slightly, and walked downstairs with a bit of annoyed determination surrounding him—

”I said, whoever goes back on it is a dog.”
