The Reveal

Li Yang arrived at his house—but there were two people blocking the driveway. He took note of the other car parked and sighed as he realized who had decided to come by his house without any warning. Lowering the window in the passenger, he glanced at Li Liang and… Bo Lifen? His brows furrowed together.

What was she doing here at an hour like this?

Li Yang couldn't also ignore the memory of his encounter with the woman earlier and how she spoke about hating men who were flirts, he hoped his brother didn't do any stupid stunt at all. He sighed inwardly and turned off his car. He took the suit coat that his secretary returned to him and proceeded to step out of it to meet them. "Good evening,"

"Wait, so who's this...?" Bo Lifen had a frown on her face. She rubbed her face.

Li Liang chuckled and waved a hand. "What's up, Yang?"

Li Yang glanced at the woman's bare shoulders, she was wearing a tank top. It was a far cry from her clothing this morning, with now almost everything was revealing. It struck a large contrast. Was she shaking due to the coldness? Regardless of her condition, he placed his suit coat over her shoulder and looked back at his brother. "I came here expecting to rest, but it seems you have dropped by, Liang."

"Did you forget? We have a board meeting in three days—of course, I'd be here." The man grinned slightly.

"Are the two of you just going to ignore me?" Bo Lifen asked, she had her eyes narrowed at him.

...Right. She was still around. Li Yang didn't have any idea why she was here—she had a thermos in her hand, but he needed to clear up the confusion. "Miss Lifen, I'd like to introduce my brother, Li Liang. Li Liang—"

"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Lifen." His brother said and offered a hand. "The circumstances of our meeting is odd with you thinking I was my brother, but a lot of people do."

"She sighed and shook her head, she turned back and looked at Li Yang. "I'm not staying any longer, Granny Lanfen told me to give you some tea so here it is." She pushed the thermos into his hand and also took off his cloak. She forced it into his hand and gave him a disgusted look, "I'm also not some cloak rack for you to hang your suit on."

Did she take it that way?

"You looked cold." Li Yang said.

Bo Lifen glared at him, "I wasn't. You should have told me that you had a brother."

Tell her that he had a brother?

"It never crossed our conversation." Li Yang shrugged and clutched the thermos and suit coat in his hand. The two of them had mostly talked about business. He ignored the look on his brother's face.

She frowned, "I talked about my two brothers, you never mentioned him once."

"I didn't find it necessary," Li Yang sighed inwardly. Their conversation had turned to this already? Still, he glanced at the thermos in his hand. Her great-grandmother had thought of him. "It was our first meeting, Miss Lifen. I don't necessarily remember any social condition where I have to tell you about my family because you told me about yours." He needed to end this quickly, "But please convey my gratitude to Granny Lanfen. And thank you as well for bringing the tea in her stead."

Did the anger vanish because of his words?

Not quite. But it did change the flow of conversation, Bo Lifen huffed but nodded. "I'll tell her that, but there's no need to thank me. She asked me to do this." Even if she was hot-headed, it didn't mean that she wouldn't take the opportunity to walk out. A loud sigh escaped her lips, she glanced at him and then her brother. "Our meeting is not the most adequate time, but I do hope that you can also overlook this… Li Liang was it?"

"The one and only." His brother motioned to himself and smiled. "I'll overlook you mistaking me for my brother, so no worries. It was kind of funny actually."

She pursed her lips, but then nodded.

Bo Lifen took one more look at Li Yang and then went away.

It probably didn't matter, but even as she left him—the way that the moonlight fell, it somehow coincidentally fell on her. As if she was the spotlight of the night. Li Yang glanced back at his brother and frowned. "You could have at least sent me a message."

"I wanted to surprise you." Li Liang waved his hand, and gave him a grin. "Surprise little fucker."

Li Yang sighed and shook his head, "Crude as always. You remind me of someone else now." Speaking of which, where was—a ball of white and black hurtled at him from the heavens and struck him in the belly. He winced and doubled over, but at least he didn't keel over.

"Woah, are you okay?" Li Liang asked. "Were you always that weak?"

"You never told me you had a brother!" The creature shouted at him, its beady eyes were glaring at him as it raised a paw in its self-righteous fury. "What kind of bastard are you?"
