Chapter 492: He’s Not My Older Brother, He’s My Husband (4)

When Shen Nian heard what Ruan Hongbo said, her heart sank. Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Lu Cheng’s face had completely darkened.

’Thank goodness Ruan Hongbo said ’brother’ and didn’t use some other familial term. Otherwise, Lu Cheng, who was already resentful about their age difference, would probably be even more upset!’

"Senior Brother, he’s not my brother. He’s my husband!"

Shen Nian decided she had to appease him quickly before Lu Cheng lost his temper. Sure enough, after she said that, Shen Nian could clearly feel that the anger radiating from Lu Cheng beside her had subsided significantly, and the look he gave her was now incredibly gentle.

However, Ruan Hongbo, standing in front of Shen Nian, was completely stunned by her words.

"H-Husband? You... you’re already married?"

’Oh my God, you’ve got to be kidding me! A goddess this beautiful is already married so young!’

’Although, now that she mentioned it, looking at the man and woman in front of him, he had to admit they looked like a good match. Still, he felt that getting married... it was just too soon!’

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

Shen Nian smiled and nodded in confirmation. She had no hesitation in admitting her relationship with Lu Cheng. For one, it would appease him, and for another, it would probably save her some trouble at school.

’Yes, it was a classic case of killing two birds with one stone. Why wouldn’t she do it?’

"Are you sure you’re married, and not just boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The look of surprise on Ruan Hongbo’s face hadn’t faded. He found it hard to believe that someone as young and beautiful as Shen Nian was actually married. ’Maybe she misspoke? Maybe they’re just dating and not married?’

’There’s a huge difference between dating and being married!’

"I’m sure! We’re a legally married couple!"

"..."

What else could Ruan Hongbo say? This whole thing was just a bit too much for him; he felt he needed some time to process it.

Seeing Ruan Hongbo’s state, Shen Nian didn’t interrupt. After all, she had plenty of time and was in no hurry.

She turned to look at Lu Cheng. There was no sign of anxiety on his face. Instead, he seemed to be faintly looking forward to something.

’What could he be looking forward to?’

Lu Cheng was indeed looking forward to something, but he would never admit that he was hoping Ruan Hongbo’s presence meant the news of Shen Nian being married would quickly spread throughout the school.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about annoying flies buzzing around Shen Nian.

’Hmm, on second thought, letting Ruan Hongbo take his time to digest this wasn’t a bad idea at all.’

A long while later, when Ruan Hongbo finally processed the news that the beautiful new junior sister was married and came back to his senses, he saw Shen Nian and Lu Cheng staring at him. He suddenly felt as if he’d been caught doing something wrong.

"Um."

Ruan Hongbo scratched the back of his head. "Junior Sister, I should probably take you to register first! Which school are you in?"

"Senior Brother Ruan, my name is Shen Nian. I’m a new student in the School of Medicine."

"The School of Medicine?" Ruan Hongbo’s eyes instantly lit up. "What a coincidence, I’m in the School of Medicine too! Which major are you in, Junior Sister?"

Ruan Hongbo hadn’t expected that the first beautiful junior sister he’d helped would turn out to be from the same school as him. It was too much of a coincidence!

"Traditional Chinese Medicine."

This was the major Shen Nian had decided to study long ago. It was the major she had settled on the moment she received her acceptance letter from B University.
