Chapter 546: Superb Arm Muscle Definition

Xiao Tian usually appeared cheerful and adorable in front of Bai Liang.

Later, due to a slight oddity, she added a touch more obedience to her demeanor.

But when they first met, Bai Liang knew exactly how "possessive" this girl could be.

Now, Yang Chaoyue had just experienced a similar treatment.

Xiao Tian had happily stepped out in a new, pretty outfit to join dinner, but the moment she saw Yang Chaoyue, her expression dropped.

Her smile vanished in an instant, her cuteness instantly replaced by a slightly fierce scrutiny.

Yes, fierce!

Yang Chaoyue herself thought it was absurd: Did I offend you that you're this hostile?!

She wasn't unfamiliar with that look—back in her village, the most possessive dog had exactly that gaze: ready to bite at any moment.

But she wasn't afraid of such a "dog"—she was from the countryside; what was there to fear?

Still, Yang Chaoyue wouldn't glare back or challenge her to a fight on the spot.

She simply pretended not to see her.

Having dropped out of school early and entered society, she'd worked as a waitress, in a factory, auditioned for a girl group before debuting, done game promotion, livestreaming, and street or year-end fashion shows—long before her sudden fame, she'd already tasted the coldness and warmth of the world.

Did they really think she was just a village girl who cried on TV?

So she had no intention of clashing over this, unless the other side went truly over the top.

But clearly, Xiao Tian wasn't an idiot either.

After realizing Yang Chaoyue had no intention of confronting her, she suddenly sensed she might have overreacted.

Hmm. PTSD.

Probably because she'd been through too many tough battles lately with her sister Tongtong, which had fully unleashed Xiao Tian's fiery temper.

So now, seeing "similar types"—beautiful girls—she instinctively assumed an aggressive posture.

But there was no real solution: the entertainment industry no longer had this much open conflict, yet such things kept happening around Bai Liang.

With Bai Liang present, Xiao Tian's instinctive stress response kicked in, nearly making her fur stand on end.

She was a warrior, after all~ Not fighting, or on her way to fight.

Meeting her sister Tongtong—she didn't know whether it was luck or a curse.

But being a warrior didn't mean she was brainless and only knew how to "slash."

So after sensing the other's "ceasefire signal," Xiao Tian took the initiative to greet: "Hi, I'm Tian Xiwei. You can just call me Xiao Tian."

"Hi there, I'm Yang Chaoyue. Actually, you're a year older than me, so Xiao Tian sister." Yang Chaoyue hesitated, then spoke honestly.

Xiao Tian: Huh?

She scratched her head in confusion—this was the first time anyone had called her "sister." Was she now a "Xiao Tian sister"?

Maybe she'd played too many high-level matches.

Yang Chaoyue actually knew Xiao Tian—she'd watched her drama "So Adorable Us."

After all, Bai Liang had promoted it himself.

And after that wave of recommendations, netizens had dug up every detail about Xiao Tian, even bringing "The Son-in-Law" back onto trending lists—everyone now knew Xiao Tian was the female second lead in "The Son-in-Law."

Rumors even vaguely suggested this lucky newcomer might soon have a chance to co-star with Bai Liang as the male and female leads.

Honestly, this rumor was definitely leaked by Xiao Tian's team.

All her previous achievements couldn't compare to this vague rumor—if confirmed, her status would skyrocket.

Even if unconfirmed, Xiao Tian's visibility and treatment in certain situations had already changed.

People looked at her differently wherever she went.

Originally, Xiao Tian wasn't this bold—but who could resist the constant goading of that evil little kitten?

It's fine, it's fine—the male fox doesn't care about this; just boldly wave the tiger's pelt!

The proof? Her sister Tongtong was absolutely right!

When Xiao Tian timidly asked Bai Liang if she could do this, he didn't even hesitate—he agreed immediately, even added, "Next time, don't ask me."

Xiao Bai brother is just too good!

At this moment, Bai Liang was ordering dishes.

He was very good at ordering dishes!

After finishing, he noticed the two girls, once tense and seemingly at odds, had suddenly calmed down—he didn't think much of it.

He never worried about such things.

Sometimes the process matters; sometimes, only the result does.

"Got to know each other? What do you two want to eat? Take a look—today's meal is on me."

"No way, Xiao Bai brother, I already promised to treat." Yang Chaoyue immediately objected.

"I brought along a little sister… oh wait, you're actually a year younger than Xiao Tian, right?"

To be honest, Bai Liang hadn't realized Yang Chaoyue was younger than Xiao Tian—he'd always thought the girl seemed relatively mature.

Not in her face, but in her speech and mannerisms, she gave off that impression.

In fact, she was only twenty-one.

Think about what Meng Jie was like at twenty-one—Bai Liang felt the differences between people were truly vast.

Even Xiao Tian, that dark little pup, was just unusually temperamental—not particularly mature; otherwise, she wouldn't dare follow Li Yitong into so many battles.

If she were truly mature, she'd have already hidden away—this little newcomer daring to enter so many high-level matches? She must've eaten Xiong Xinbaozi's heart and leopard's guts.

As for who would pay for this meal—Bai Liang had no say in it anyway.

After a friendly showdown, Xiao Tian ultimately won the right to treat.

The method was strange: she didn't rely on eloquence, but rolled up her sleeves and let Yang Chaoyue admire her super-exquisite arm muscle definition.

Yang Chaoyue was left dumbfounded!

She immediately said: "Sister, you go first!"

She felt deeply relieved—thankfully she had stayed calm and hadn't clashed with the other woman.

What if the other woman couldn't argue her way out and just slapped her?

Even if she couldn't physically beat her, she'd worked in a factory, but not on a production line—she wasn't that strong.

It's insane to be this cute and still build muscle!

Of course, Xiao Tian's muscles were only relatively "superb"—her upper arms were still thinner than Bai Liang's forearms~

But the current overall aesthetic in the entertainment industry leans toward pale, young, and thin.

Everyone's dieting.

So Xiao Tian should have no trouble handling these female celebrities—except for those who train in martial arts.

Among the girls Bai Liang knows, only Sister Reba might be able to beat her, since Sister Reba has been preparing for *The Wandering Earth 2*.

The last time they met, she'd tried to overpower Bai Liang with her newfound strength.

Unfortunately, it did nothing.

Bai Liang has maintained fitness for years, and his physical talent—so astonishing it even amazed Jiang Jinfu, the fitness fanatic—isn't just enough to pin a girl; he could even "dominate men."

Still, though she can't compare to him, Sister Reba is still quite strong now, and her butt has gotten even firmer—those repeated impacts—

Bai Liang had been hit by them—he has the authority to speak!

Fortunately, when girls get together, they just argue and gossip—they won't stage some "Number One Martial Arts Tournament."

After ordering, Yang Chaoyue hesitated for a long time, then finally asked: "Xiao Bai, have you bought a house in this neighborhood too?"

"No, I'm staying at a friend's place," Bai Liang replied plainly.

Yang Chaoyue couldn't help glancing at Xiao Tian—she felt like she'd stumbled onto a huge scoop!

So all those rumors online were fake—he was already living with this Xiao Tian sister?

Add to that Xiao Tian's fierce look at her earlier, and Yang Chaoyue immediately imagined a full drama:

Xiao Tian, the latecomer, had poured in countless efforts, finally winning over the godlike man—and even moved in with him—but there were still so many rivals watching hungrily. It made perfect sense! Totally reasonable!

No wonder she's so possessive!

If it were me, I'd be possessive too!

I'd scratch anyone who came near!

Just as Yang Chaoyue's logic felt flawless and her expression changed, Xiao Tian said: "I'm also just staying at a sister's place."

Yang Chaoyue:

Logic shattered.

Though she knew the next question was inappropriate, she simply couldn't hold back!

So she asked carefully: "Are the 'friends' you two mentioned the same person?"

Xiao Tian shook her head. "Nope~"

Honestly, even if they were, she wouldn't tell Yang Chaoyue, who she'd just met~

But right now, she wasn't lying—she was telling the truth.

Still, she was a little curious—who was the "friend" Bai Liang mentioned?

Was it Gu Li Na Zha, the one she'd seen in the underground parking lot?

That seemed the most likely!

Xiao Tian silently sat there thinking, pretending to play with her phone.

In reality, she was updating her Tong Tong sister on the current situation—her brain was overloaded and needed an external brain!

Meanwhile, Bai Liang wore a strange smile and teased: "Xiao Chaoyue, what weird things are you imagining?"

"No, no! I just wanted to know who my neighbors will be—I heard some celebrities live here, and I was curious when I bought my place."

"Aren't you a celebrity yourself? That's not surprising."

This neighborhood was relatively upscale, and the property owners' privacy protections were quite good.
