That vixen is all righteous, luckily I am one too.

Chapter 19 My Foolish Little Brother~

Jiang Wanzhao's true colors were revealed in the final picture.

As a leader rising in a new era, strong power is not her only strength.

Compared to her less-than-ideal health, she was better at managing her subordinates.

To manage subordinates, one must be able to understand their intentions.

Jiang Wanzhao understood.

Li Xingzhou understands that he wants to reconnect with his long-lost relationship.

Because he wanted it too, Li Xingzhou, who had finally returned, wanted it even more.

So this morning, instead of wearing a skirt, I changed into a short-sleeved shirt and capri pants.

So Li Xingzhou felt free to playfully tease her.

Of course, it had to be her older sister who started it.

The conversation wasn't something she intentionally created, but seizing the right moment was definitely one of her strengths.

So she seized the opportunity presented by her "silly older sister" and took the first step: playful fighting.

This is a family project that I've had since childhood, and it's also the best way to dispel feelings of alienation.

Everything that followed was part of her plan.

Jiang Wanzhao knew all too well how Li Xingzhou had "rebelled" against her since childhood.

When we were kids, we would sometimes get carried away with our roughhousing and not know when to stop, but now, Xingzhou would definitely give way to him.

Because he has grown up.

Scratching an itch is an opportunity.

After becoming overly excited and experiencing physical discomfort, opportunities for further intimate contact naturally arise.

From falling off the sofa to this... it's all part of her routine.

But I just couldn't hold back my final words.

After years of repression, the psychiatric evaluation report that fulfilled my desires finally broke free of the cage that had been holding me back.

How can one possibly control this feeling?

I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all!

We must make Xingzhou understand the true weight of this sentiment that carries a century of history!

"Sailing..."

Jiang Wanzhao spoke softly, but the next second her vision blurred and Li Xingzhou, like a slippery eel, "whooshed" out of her "encirclement".

She looked up and saw that Li Xingzhou, who had sat back down on the sofa, was not saying a word, but his expression and posture were slightly unnatural.

Jiang Wanzhao smiled; she really liked Li Xingzhou's reaction.

The more flustered he is, the more he cares about me.

"I" = "Opposite sex".

I made the right decision to wear underwear this morning—a good omen.

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Wanzhao propped herself up on the sofa. "Do you think I'd eat you?"

"Cough cough..."

As she spoke, she coughed a few times, pretending to cough.

Looking at her slightly pale face, Li Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "You can't let the atmosphere control you."

"Atmosphere?" Jiang Wanzhao raised an eyebrow and slammed the heavy photo album from the villa onto the coffee table with a "smack," the meaning of which was self-evident.

Li Xingzhou looked at the photo album and realized that his guess from last night had been completely confirmed. All these years, the seemingly upright Jiang Wanzhao had indeed been plotting against him!

Who would have thought she was such a rebellious vixen!

Could it be influenced by visual novels (Galgame)?

No, these games were a gift to her, so this is... being raised by a child husband?

Seriously, are you that weird?

Li Xingzhou didn't want to pry into the reasons, lest Jiang Wanzhao start recounting it with relish.

"oh."

He responded in this way.

Jiang Wanzhao raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you curious about what I'm going to say?"

"Not curious."

Aren't you curious about when it started?

"Not curious."

"Aren't you curious that you're just an adopted son?"

"not good……"

"You're curious!"

Snapped!

Jiang Wanzhao threw the appraisal report on the coffee table: "Take a look."

This was a decision she made after careful consideration.

This report must not be discovered by Li Xingzhou by chance.

After all, if it were truly an important report, how could it happen to appear in a certain location at just the right time, and then be found by him at just the right time?

This is obviously a setup!

Therefore, Jiang Wanzhao took it out voluntarily.

Li Xingzhou reached out and took it, his eyebrows gradually furrowing.

Jiang Wanzhao calmly sat back down on the sofa. The next second, Li Xingzhou casually tossed the report he was holding back onto the sofa and chuckled, "You think you can fool me with a fake one?"

He clearly remembered that the blood pact had 'agreed' for him to replace Jiang Wanzhao's blood.

Isn't this more convincing than an expert report?

Besides, why didn't you take it out before?

Li Xingzhou didn't even need to use his brain to know that it was a fake.

"Don't believe me?" Jiang Wanzhao scoffed. "I'll take you there myself, and you can supervise the whole thing..."

"Forget it." Li Xingzhou remained noncommittal: "You're the chief, and the appraisal center is just following your lead. Besides, you know about time."

Although Li Xingzhou also understands the Way of Time, he and Jiang Wanzhao belong to different "secondary disciplines" in this field.

He focused on the "breaking" that facilitated the breaching of the "Wall of Sighs," while Jiang Wanzhao focused on the "controlling" that manipulated time.

It's even harder to defend against attacks.

Jiang Wanzhao's true colors are now revealed. Even if she's not in good health, she'll definitely do something secretly, and I, with my spiritual power sealed, might not even be able to detect it.

Jiang Wanzhao now will definitely do everything in her power to achieve the results stated in the appraisal report.

Li Xingzhou's reaction was exactly what Jiang Wanzhao had expected; in fact, she never thought her little brother would believe it so easily.

Jiang Wanzhao laughed, then put the report away: "Anyway, that's the gist of it. Believe it or not."

Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Wanzhao suspiciously. Was he going to stop explaining?

This attitude is rather subtle.

Is there even a sliver of a possibility that the report is genuine?

Jiang Wanzhao then picked up the photo album on the coffee table. Xingzhou had become stronger, but his brain hadn't improved much.

The younger brother from a hundred years ago had little experience, and even though he has broadened his horizons now that he is focused on returning home, he still lacks shrewdness.

Throughout history, conquering a country is easy, but governing one is difficult.

This gave him a seed of suspicion, and he would definitely pay more attention to this matter and investigate it secretly.

Finally, you'll accept this fact.

More importantly, this slight doubt will lead him to mentally justify his intimate contact later on by thinking, "Anyway, they might not be related."

As you search, your bottom line gradually disappears.

My silly little brother~

Jiang Wanzhao flipped through the photo album and smiled as she showed Li Xingzhou a childhood photo: "In this picture, I'm still holding your little one from when you were three years old..."

"Ahem!" Li Xingzhou interrupted Jiang Wanzhao, changing the subject: "Let's talk about my time as a teacher."

"He is definitely more suited to be a teacher."

Jiang Wanzhao also became serious; this method was indeed feasible.

Otherwise, with such a handsome younger brother, wouldn't he be surrounded by a multitude of girls and end up with a sticky, unattractive body when he becomes a student?

I feel much more at ease knowing he's a teacher.

Putting aside the constraints of professional ethics, most teachers, not to mention having children, might even have grandchildren. Even if they look young, Xingzhou would never be interested in an older woman like that.

Jiang Wanzhao smiled slightly: "I'll take care of this."

Li Xingzhou nodded, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the sports channel on the screen.

"The third leg of the Super Intelligent Equation competition in the Mili Realm has concluded after fierce competition. Jiang Xuetang once again won the championship with a score of 1.23.31, ranking first on the leaderboard..."

Wait, what familiar competition has secretly gotten into my ears?

Li Xingzhou turned his head and saw only three figures holding up the trophy on the podium. Where was the race car?

Oh, the replay will be available soon.

"Are you interested in this competition?"

"Hmm..." Li Xingzhou nodded, showing great interest in the 'Renaissance'.

Jiang Wanzhao smiled and picked up her phone.

Li Xingzhou glanced at her before focusing his attention back on the screen. The next second, the screen changed: a video call!

"Oh my, why did Chief of Staff Jiang send me a video call this time? Does he still remember his best friend?"

Li Xingzhou stared at the screen in surprise. Wasn't this Jiang Xuetang who had just won the championship?

Are she and her sister... best friends?

"I figured you should brag to me about this, and since I'm free right now, I called you first." Jiang Wanzhao leaned back on the sofa. "More importantly, I also have something good to brag about to you."

"Then hurry up and bring it up!"

Jiang Wanzhao remained silent, but simply moved the camera slightly to bring Li Xingzhou into the frame: "Look..."

"Li Xingzhou!?"

Jiang Xuetang was taken aback at first, then suddenly stood up, her face full of surprise.

Li Xingzhou was stunned. "No, do you know me? Why are you so excited?"

He looked at Jiang Wanzhao, who didn't show any unusual expression. Oh, it seems it's because of what her sister mentioned.

"Why are you so excited?" Jiang Wanzhao switched the camera back on: "Are you happy for me?"

"On my behalf... well, of course I'm happy for you!"

Jiang Xuetang took a deep breath and spoke very quickly: "Wait for me, I'm coming to your house right now!"

The video call ended.

"As for Yao..." Jiang Wanzhao was speechless for a moment, then turned to Li Xingzhou and said, "My best friend Jiang Xuetang is the Star Queen of SC, which is the Super Intelligent Formula competition."

Oh, by the way, you're a senior at Tianqi University, which you're going to be attending this year.

"A senior in college?" Li Xingzhou paused for a moment. "Twenty-two years old?"

"Um."

"With you..." Li Xingzhou's expression turned strange: "Are you best friends?"

Jiang Wanzhao remained silent for a few seconds before putting down her phone.

Stand up and raise your right hand.

Sharp eyes, radiant smile.

My foolish brother, what nonsense are you spouting?

"Sword, come!"
