Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 308 - 281: Your Brother is Going to Have Bad Luck Today (Two Updates)
Ai Ni lifted her foot and kicked him lightly. "Feeling triggered too?"
Tong Aino sighed. "With our brother around, how could I not be? He’s out there partying every night, while I—an old bachelor—just hug my pillow to sleep every night."
Ai Ni gave him a suspicious look. "Fifth Brother, you didn’t use to be like this. When did you become so spineless and cautious?"
"Scared of that stubborn one running off again! Last time, I nearly lost half my life chasing her back." Tong Aino shifted his position and sprawled lazily on the sofa.
Ai Ni rubbed her chin in thought. "Fifth Brother, listen to me. Connie likes you, and you two are about to get engaged anyway. Just take the initiative—she’s not going to run away."
Tong Aino shot her a side glance. "You’re starting to sound like a seasoned pro."
"I may not have eaten pork, but I’ve seen pigs run!" Ai Ni curled her legs up on the sofa and glanced at her freshly done nails.
Tong Aino kicked the sofa in annoyance. "You’re about to be a princess—start paying attention to how you act!"
"It’s our own house, what’s the big deal?" Ai Ni shot him a sidelong glance. "I’ll find you some materials later—study up, hahaha..."
"Go away already!" Tong Aino grabbed a throw pillow and covered his ears. What’s the point in learning? No place to practice anyway!
Ai Ni climbed over the sofa with great effort, snatched the pillow, and yelled directly into his ear. "Ahhhhhh—!"
The shout left Tong Aino momentarily deaf.
You Jia, startled, ran out from the study.
"What happened?" You Jia hurried over.
"My fifth brother bullied me," Ai Ni pouted, playing the victim.
Tong Aino shot her a sideways glance, rubbed his ears, and angrily stomped upstairs.
"Haha... I yelled my Fifth Brother deaf!" Ai Ni sat on the sofa laughing triumphantly.
"Did Fifth Brother really bully you?" You Jia affectionately messed up her hair.
Ai Ni chuckled. "As if he’d bully me. No one else in the family even came to check—it’s just you, silly and straightforward, rushing out here. Aren’t you done with work yet?"
You Jia shook his head with a smile. "No work—just calling my dad to tell him Uncle Che has agreed to our marriage. Wanted to share the good news with him."
"So? Was he happy or not?" Ai Ni grinned as she adjusted his collar.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, he’s happy!"
Ai Ni looked around to make sure no one else was present, hooked her arms around his neck, and leaned in closer.
You Jia’s lips curved slightly as he bent down to quickly peck her slightly pouty pink lips.
"One more," Ai Ni pouted in dissatisfaction.
You Jia glanced around cautiously before kissing her lips again.
Yi Luowa, just about to come downstairs, saw the scene and quickly darted back into her room.
Tong Airui, laughing while examining the bite mark on his arm, noticed her return and teased, "Weren’t you never speaking to me again? What’s with the quick comeback?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Yi Luowa puffed her cheeks and glared at him.
Tong Airui raised his arm to show her. "Wife, you bit me pretty hard this time. Look, it still hasn’t faded."
"Serves you right! Who told you to strip me the moment you walked in?" Yi Luowa huffed in self-satisfaction.
"Your clothes were covered in flour—I was just helping you tidy up." Tong Airui protested with an innocent look.
"I have hands, don’t I?" Yi Luowa sniffled. "It’s all your fault! Even Connie, the least playful of all, makes fun of me now."
"She teased you? About what? Tell me, and your husband will avenge you." Tong Airui frowned and stepped closer.
Yi Luowa stretched out her arm and rolled up her sleeve. "This dog bite right here."
Tong Airui held her arm, inspecting it closely. "Which dog bit you? I’ll kill it and settle the score."
"The dog’s name is Tong Airui!" Yi Luowa snorted. "You’re so annoying, always leaving marks on me. Afraid the world doesn’t know what a beast you are?"
"Hold off on scolding me—let me help you vent first." Tong Airui pulled her to sit beside him and sent a file to Tong Aino on his phone.
Yi Luowa, knowing what was in the file since she’d helped him receive it, blushed deeply just thinking about its contents.
Tong Airui shook his head, grinning at his phone. "This won’t do. I’ll send it to Connie too. If this works out, wife, you can tease Connie all you want."
Yi Luowa grabbed his hand. "Are you crazy? You’re the older brother—sending this kind of thing to them? How will you face them in the future?"
"They won’t see my number." Tong Airui laughed so hard his shoulders shook. "I’ve set up Dumb Xuan to take the blame—he’s the one who sent it to me in the first place."
Yi Luowa gave him a mischievous wink. "You’re sending it too early. Wait until the dead of night—it’ll work even better."
"This is just the appetizer. At night, I’ll use Old Seven’s number to send it again." Tong Airui chuckled as he sent the file to Connie.
Yi Luowa glanced at his phone. "How do you even do this? Could you use my number too?"
"Absolutely." Tong Airui smiled, lightly tapping her nose. "It’s high-tech stuff—you wouldn’t get it."
Yi Luowa rolled her eyes. "You’re such a scoundrel!"
"Wife, I’m not being a scoundrel—I’m saving Old Five. I’m worried he’ll get sick holding everything in." Tong Airui sighed. "You’re not a man, so you can’t understand men’s struggles."
"But I’m a woman, and I understand women’s struggles. If you keep tormenting me, I’m going to drop dead from it!"
"Haven’t I been taking it easier lately? Why aren’t you satisfied yet?"
"Hah!" Yi Luowa snorted in disdain. "Why don’t you go listen to your future sister-in-law? See how she’s doing?"
"Don’t insult me! Am I that kind of person? Besides, things like that happening during the day are pretty unlikely. Even if I wanted to eavesdrop, it’d have to be at night."
"Shameless!" Yi Luowa slapped his thigh hard.
"Haha... Just messing with you. My wife’s sounds are like music to my ears—listening to others wouldn’t compare."
Meanwhile, someone who was currently being set up by his own brother was sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the screen.
Connie was about to ask what he was so focused on when her phone suddenly rang.
"Old Eight’s number? Why is he sending me a file?" she asked suspiciously. "Can Old Eight even use his phone?"
Tong Aino’s gaze flickered, his breathing quickened, but he forced himself to appear calm. "He’s allowed to on weekends... Open it and have a look—it might be important."
"Oh," Connie replied, opening the file.
Tong Aino smirked faintly. Old Eight really was his best wingman—always coming through when needed. Still, he’d wait to see Connie’s reaction first. Leaning on the sofa with his head resting on his hand, he watched her expression closely.
One second, two seconds... When he saw her eyes widen and her face show an utterly shocked expression, he couldn’t help but stifle a laugh and ask, "What did Old Eight send you? A horror movie?"
Connie’s face was already as red as a ripe peach. Flustered by his question, she panicked and threw her phone aside with a loud "smack."
