Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 1 Want to be an Actor
Chapter 1 - 1 Want to be an Actor
In City T, a torrential downpour had just ended, making the already gloomy sky appear even more overcast.
In front of the apartment.
An Yin followed closely behind Bao Cheng, looking rather uneasy.
"Relax a bit, will you?"
Bao Cheng pressed the doorbell with a relaxed expression and glanced at her, unable to resist complaining.
"But..." An Yin wasn't good at lying, "I'm afraid I'll be found out."
"Just remember what I told you earlier," Bao Cheng warned.
"Okay." An Yin lowered her gaze, her response lacking confidence.
The door slowly opened.
An Yin's heart was pounding.
With her head lowered, she didn't notice the cold atmosphere that filled the surroundings.
"Brother." Bao Cheng grinned, with a hint of flattery, affectionately addressing the man who opened the door.
The man wore a black suit, his face was rugged with clear-cut features. His lips were tightly pressed, giving him an exceedingly cold and stern appearance.
"Come in." The man's deep voice resonated.
The man's lack of surprise at his cousin's visit made his gaze linger on the girl who kept her head down and didn't speak for just a second.
An Yin was momentarily stunned, and as she lifted her head, she only caught a glimpse of the man's tall back as he walked inside.
At the doorway, Bao Cheng turned his head and quietly reminded, "Change your shoes!" Those who knew Bao Shaojin well were aware of his rather severe cleanliness obsession.
"Oh." An Yin obediently did as told, though her movements were quite awkward.
After changing her shoes, An Yin followed Bao Cheng closely, anxious about making mistakes.
The man stood by the coffee table, with eyes as deep as a cold pool, staring intently at the girl beside Bao Cheng.
An Yin could feel a gaze on her, making her nervously swallow a bit of saliva, never daring to lift her head.
"Brother, this is my girlfriend, An Yin." As Bao Cheng uttered her name, he realized he made a mistake.
An Yin turned her head, staring at Bao Cheng in astonishment.
Hadn't they agreed earlier to use "Jiang Keke" as the name?
Bao Cheng threw her an apologetic look and then urged, "Hurry and call him 'Brother'."
In truth, Bao Cheng was so nervous that he misspoke.
An Yin: "..."
"Brother."
When she spoke, her voice was as pleasant as a young oriole, sweet and soft as a sugary cake.
Even more striking was her appearance; as she glanced around, her beauty was enchanting like a person in a painting, with an unsullied elegance.
After speaking, she raised her eyes, her gaze meeting with the man's, encountering a pair of deep, oceanic eyes.
The man's features were sharply defined, accentuating his extraordinary, cold handsomeness. Dressed in a black suit that fitted his tall and burly frame, he exuded a commanding aura that made direct gaze impossible.
An Yin quickly lowered her gaze.
"Want something to drink?" Bao Shaojin retracted his gaze, not overly responsive to her term "Brother."
The girl appeared timid, glancing at him with too much apprehension.
If she lived with the Bao Family, she would be devoured thoroughly, leaving nothing but bones.
However, Bao Cheng often changed girlfriends, so it wasn't worth noticing!
Bao Shaojin dismissed his thoughts.
"Brother, leave these trivial matters to me; you just sit down." After bootlicking, Bao Cheng hurriedly headed in the direction of the kitchen.
Leaving a bewildered An Yin behind.
Bao Shaojin was already lounging on the sofa.
His brows slightly furrowed, his whole face turning cold, he turned his head and glanced at her.
"Sit!"
His voice was slightly low, carrying an unusual steadiness and decisiveness.
At this moment, the living room had only the two of them, and it was apparent he was addressing her.
"Okay." An Yin moved anxiously and sat on a sofa more than two meters away from him.
The air was thick with an awkward atmosphere.
Bao Shaojin interacted with women rarely, especially timid and delicate ones, afraid to scare them with a word.
Sunlight penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting a beam on her exquisite face. She wore tight-fitting jeans paired with a slightly loose white sweatshirt, accentuating her willow-like slimness.
Her beauty was non-invasive, naturally evoking a protective inclination as if she were an ethereal fairy untouched by dust.
Bao Shaojin retracted his gaze, with a hint of aloofness between his brows.
Just as An Yin was feeling uneasy, Bao Cheng appeared at just the right moment.
"Have a glass of water." Bao Cheng spoke, handing a teacup to her.
"Thank you." An Yin replied politely.
Seeing their awkward interaction, Bao Shaojin looked indifferent.
"Brother, I brought... An Yin here today because I wanted to ask you for a favor." Bao Cheng got straight to the point, though he stumbled slightly when mentioning the "girlfriend's" name.
Bao Shaojin and Bao Cheng's father were biological brothers. Over the years, Bao Cheng had always lived in Bao Shaojin's shadow, being compared and criticized, something Bao Cheng had grown accustomed to...
Bao Shaojin, the firstborn of the Bao Family, was expected to do great things since childhood, often praised as a business prodigy by elders.

Some people are destined for greatness from birth.
And Bao Shaojin was such a person.
As a child, Bao Cheng quite disliked his cousin, Bao Shaojin, because no matter where he went, he couldn't escape the title "Bao Shaojin's cousin."
It felt like he had no name!
In recent years, he started to change his perception of this cousin.
After all, Bao Shaojin's business acumen was enough to dispel anyone's doubts.
"Speak."
Bao Shaojin spoke calmly.
His hair hung casually over his forehead, partially covering his cold, steely-eyed, starlit eyes.
This cousin had enjoyed troublemaking since childhood.
Bao Shaojin wasn't unfamiliar with tidying up his messes.
An Yin blinked her bright eyes, staring at her toes to reduce her presence.
In reality, she was constantly reminding herself internally: she was just Bao Cheng's fake girlfriend, fake girlfriend, fake...
Under immense pressure, Bao Cheng didn't notice An Yin's nervousness and continued, "Brother, doesn't your friend own a film company?" At this point, Bao Cheng paused, seeing no reaction from Bao Shaojin, he forced a laugh and continued, "I heard they're casting for a supporting female role in a drama, and I want my girlfriend to try out."
After speaking, Bao Cheng eagerly watched his cousin.
Bao Shaojin, standing nearly six feet tall, exuded an inescapable noble demeanor even while seated.
"Do you want to be an actress?" Bao Shaojin's slightly upturned lips held a light, mist-like smile.
He didn't directly answer Bao Cheng; instead, he turned his gaze to An Yin, who kept her head down.
Bao Shaojin rarely smiled, yet when he occasionally did, it gave off a sense of icy aloofness.
An Yin only thought about returning to school quickly, unaware of her surroundings until Bao Cheng reached out and tapped her arm to remind her, "Quick, tell my brother you want to act."
