Because I simply love you-Chapter 42: Why did she call you 'brother'?
Chapter 42: Why did she call you 'brother'?
“Mrs. Liu, it’s okay. I’m just glad everything got cleared.”
Nana had no words to say. Today was such a rollercoaster ride for her. From Jinhai’s hand brushing her to have the last dance with him and now from getting accused to getting apologies.
What an eventful day!
Jianyu said, “Alright since all apologies have been done, everyone can continue with the dinner.”
Everybody dispersed but they couldn’t help but still gossip on it.
Suyin and Madam Tang quickly got away.
Yukito and Yukira excitedly said, “Mingyu! That was super duper cool. You were brilliant!”
Mingyu ignored them and looked at Nana, “Pretty sister! Pretty sister! Pick me up.”
He held out his arms for her to hold.
Nana quickly took him in her arms and kissed his cheek, “Thank you so much Mingyu. You saved me today. You are the best!”
Mingyu said shyly, “Hehe. It was nothing. You are my future bride after all.”
Father Liu and Mother Chen coughed. Um, but we have already chosen her as my daughter-in-law, both thought in their minds.
Jianyu’s mouth twitched.
Jinhai simply kept looking at him.
Nana laughed.
Mingyu was fidgeting with his fingers. Nana asked, “What happened? Do you want something?”
“Y-yes.”
“Tell me. I will give you anything you want.”, Nana smiled.
“A k-kiss…on the lips.”, he turned bright red.
Nana blinked her eyes. So-so cute!
The twins facepalmed.
Father Liu spit. You are fast, kid.
She giggled, “Don’t you want to reserve your first kiss for your girlfriend?”
“You are my bride. It is natural.”
Everyone’s brow twitched watching this show.
She laughed and quickly pecked him on his lips.
Mingyu was in seventh heaven. “En. Now I will take responsibility.”
Goal!
Once again, everybody coughed hard. You sure know how to woo a lady young man.

Soon the dinner party was over and the wedding anniversary celebration finally came to an end.
All the staff wrapped up for the day. Mother Chen now couldn’t hold her excitement anymore.
“Nana! Come with me. I have to introduce you to some people. Your brothers can come as well. And of course, your prince charming Mingyu too.”
“Oh yes. Okay.”
After the party, everyone gathered at Liu’s mansion – The Golden Sea Villa. It literally meant what the name Jinhai means – golden sea.
Liu Hai and Liu Chunhua had built this house when she was pregnant with Jinhai. They had interior decorated and bought everything with their own money. They were very sentimental about it, so they also named it after their son’s name.
Father Liu saw Nana coming and took her in a huge hug.
“Nana! There you are!”
Mother Chen was horrified. “Brother! Take your hands off her.”
Brother? What brother? Whose brother? Nana was getting a bad feeling about this.
“Why should I? She is going to be my future daughter-in-law.”
Huh?
“How did she become your daughter-in-law? I have chosen her for my Jianyu.”, She proudly said.
“Impossible! I talked to Nana myself. I even proposed her for my second son, Liu Jing.”
Nana gulped.
Liu Jinhai and Huian were speechless. So when he said sister-in-law he meant by Liu Jing?
Father Chen felt perplexed and Jianyu didn’t even want to think anymore.
The twins thought that they were getting too many shocks recently.
When did Nee-chan get a second proposal?
Grandma Liu was stunned. Why was I not informed on this?
Mingyu frowned. Didn’t they hear me? I said pretty sister is my bride. Why are they choosing her for their sons?
Nana didn’t want to but still interrupted.
“Umm..”
“Yes, dear?”, Both said simultaneously.
They glared at each other.
She looked at Father Liu and asked, “A-aren’t you a cab driver? Why did Aunt Chen call you ‘brother’?”
Silence.
Jianyu wanted to spit three liters of blood.
Even Jinhai’s face cracked in a subtle smile when he heard Nana ask so innocently.
Liu Chunhua and Huian got no words to say.
Grandma Liu was again struck by lightning. Of shock. My son. A cab driver? What’s with all these misunderstandings?
Mother Chen blinked rapidly.
What? Cab driver? Ex CEO of Liu Corps and Master of the Liu family, Liu Hai…a cab driver?
She looked at him and saw Liu Hai pretending not to know anything.
She smiled and said, “That’s because he IS my brother. Unfortunately.”
Father Liu scowled.
“He is my elder brother – Liu Hai.”
Nana froze.
“Huh?”
“Yes. My idiot brother pulled a prank on you that day. I’m really sorry on his behalf.”, she gave him deathly glares.
Father Liu then cleared himself. “That day you were quite in a hurry. So you didn’t notice that the car wasn’t a cab. I was bored. So I just played along for the fun of it. There was one work to do and I didn’t want to do it so I used you as an escape route. Hehe~”
The twins wanted to punch his face to wipe off his goofy grin.
Nana wanted someone to hold her in case she falls down. She wanted to faint. And never wake up. So basically she wanted to die.
So the man I just casually asked to come in Natsukashi and make him have ramen treat was THE Liu Hai!?
