Chapter 21 Your Brother Is Not Like You

Sister Sun prepared for Serena was light and tasty, very different from the set meal delivered by the hospital, but Serena had a poor appetite and felt full after eating half a bowl.

After dinner, she sat on the sofa waiting for someone, and fell asleep while waiting .

In the dim light, someone was fiddling with her hair. The slightly rough fingertips slid across her eyebrows and brushed away the loose hair in front of her forehead. Then the smell of fir gradually invaded her, and someone came closer.

Serena opened her eyes at the moment when James was about to touch her, so she happened to meet his eyes. There was a strong emotion in his eyes, which disappeared before she could make out clearly.

"Sleeping here dressed like this, sister-in-law is so impatient?"

Serena threw away the cotton pajamas she wore in the old house. She picked up a dark green silk suspender nightgown and put it on. After putting it on, she remembered that it was a gift from James, but she was too lazy to change.

The nightgown was pulled up on the sofa, revealing two white legs crossed. Serena looked up at people, and her chest was vaguely exposed.

Serena choked and James held her chin, his eyes roaming over her face.

Serena's skin was white and delicate, especially her face, which was flawless, like the finest official white porcelain. But only James knew that she had a mole on her body, which was tactfully located in a hidden place and required careful searching.

Serena's lips are naturally red, pink with a hint of vermilion , delicate but not wanton. Her lips are not the popular plump lips, but her lip beads are straight and upturned , which is very fun to play with.

Now, there are slap marks on the white porcelain that have not yet completely disappeared, and the corners of her lips are scabby and still red. She is fragile and pitiful, waiting for love.

James pressed his fingertips on Serena's lower lip, unable to hold back his excitement.

“James.”

The fragile and pitiful woman woke up completely. She slapped James' hand away, pulled up her nightgown, crossed her arms over her chest, and took a defensive posture.

"Are you planning to ask me, your lifesaver, for a debt?"

James always takes the initiative when it comes to accusing others. Serena coughed and said, "No, I'm grateful that you saved me, but I have a question that I can't figure out. "

"explain."

Serena took two deep breaths and said, "Did you find out the employers behind those two people?"

"Anything else?"

"You knew they would make a move last night, so you became the oriole while the mantis stalks the cicada."

James raised an eyebrow, looking as if he was listening to a joke.

“Why should I be a yellow bird?”

"If you want me to move, you have to make me suffer a little. If I suffer, I will move here in a hurry." Serena said with a painful look on her face, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

"You think so?"

"I can't help but think so! You acted too quickly and were too prepared. This is not normal!" Serena said hoarsely, "James, do you know what I went through in there?!"

"I'm very scared. I don't know how long I can wait. They are very smart and react quickly. I'm afraid I will be killed before Bai Ting can rescue me."

"enough!"

James grabbed Serena's wrist and pulled her forward, "Serena, who am I in your heart? Do you think that only people like William are good people? Lin Boting is like him, so he is good. I am not like him, so I am not!"

Serena's wrists were injured by the cable ties , and she gasped in pain when she was grabbed like this.

"Bai Ting is indeed a good man, why are you talking about him?!"

James sneered, "Tsk, you're very protective, your taste is very specific, you've always liked this kind of sinister old white-faced man, you wanted to reform me at the beginning, but unfortunately the reform was unsuccessful, so you went to find my brother, right?!"

If Serena had any sense left, she would have realized that their argument had gone too far, but she was already tormented by the idea that James had condoned all of this, and she said, "Yes, your brother is not like you!"

The grip on her wrist suddenly intensified, and she cried out in pain, and James let go of her hand instantly.

"It's a pity that my brother is dead and I'm the only one you have!"

After saying that, he stretched out his long arms, scooped Serena into his arms and held her horizontally.

"James, let go!"

James let her scream and yell, and threw her directly onto the big bed in the bedroom. Serena came to the Jiang residence almost every time for this kind of thing, so this big bed was not unfamiliar to her at all.

She turned over and tried to escape as if she knew the way, but the next second the man grabbed her waist and dragged her back, holding her down, with her legs spread apart. It was obvious what she was going to do next.

Serena finally got scared, "James... you already have Chen Xiaoyu... I don't want it..."

James stopped above her and said angrily, "Say no to bad people, Serena, is your brain caught in a door?"

"I didn't say you were a bad person!!"

Serena turned her face away, accidentally revealing a section of her snow-white neck. A few strands of her long hair slid down, half covering her neck. James rolled his Adam's apple and kissed her.

The woman under him trembled and murmured " no".

James ' kiss stopped there, neither going deeper nor leaving. His hot breath sprayed on Serena's neck , causing waves of itchiness.

"You're right. I'm the bad guy, unlike my brother."

He stood up and smoothed out his distorted shirt . "So, Serena, you'd better understand that there is no good outcome if you go against me."

He took one last look at the woman on the bed, turned and left. Not long after, there was a loud opening and closing sound from the door.

Serena lay on the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, tears streaming down her face. This quiet way of crying was something she had practiced. When she was being chased for debt, her mother took her to hide in the bathroom, and she cried like that. Over time, she learned how to cry quietly.

After crying for a while, someone came in from behind. It was Sister Sun.

"Miss Xie, would you like some water?"

She hummed in a muffled voice.

Sister Sun went out and came back in, bringing honey water. Serena wiped her tears, sat up, took the cup of water and said thank you.

Sister Sun stood aside and said, "Ms. Xie, what I said about the night before yesterday...did you misunderstand Mr. Shen?"

"No."

"In fact, Mr. Shen didn't just say this the night before last. He also said it half a year ago. Compared to you, he comes here more often, but he doesn't stay long each time. Half a year ago, I asked him why Miss Xie refused to live here, and he said... that you had a quarrel with him, but you would move in soon."

A year ago, James learned that she had moved out of William's small building and moved to that community, and soon he bought this house.

Sister Sun tugged at her sleeves apologetically, "I thought if I told you this, you would think that the master was thinking about you, but I didn't expect it to backfire. Sun Heng has said something bad about me!"

Serena drank half a glass of water, then turned to look at her, "Did you tell him about our fight?"

Sister Sun waved her hands quickly, "No , no , it was this guy who called me and asked me about it. It sounded like he was also scolded by Mr. Shen."

Serena put down the cup and hesitated, "Did I really misunderstand him?"

"It must be a misunderstanding! Mr. Shen is such a good person and treats you well, how could he bear to let you be in danger!"

Serena knew that Sister Sun had always been a die-hard fan of James , but she didn't expect that her filter was so deep that she could even say such nonsense as James was a nice person and was nice to her. James grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and received a lot of praise, but even a professional flatterer couldn't say such good things about him.

Serena was amused by her, and her anger was mostly relieved.

Although James hated her and liked to torture her, he was not a bad person after all and would not do such a malicious thing. In other words, given his personality, if he really wanted her to move, he would most likely force her in a more direct way.

Rather than using the hands of criminals, he disdains.
