Chapter 468: The Plan Fell Through Again

"Jiang Sinian, you hit me, you actually hit me! From now on, we are no longer good brothers!" Li Mu was the apple of his family's eye and had never suffered such a beating before.

Especially since it was in front of Jiang Yue, he felt somewhat humiliated; he scrambled up from the ground and ran away.

Jiang Sinian propped up his bicycle, then looked back at Jiang Yue, "Come over, I'll give you a ride home."

Jiang Yue walked slowly toward him, then sat unceremoniously on the back seat of Jiang Sinian's bicycle.

From childhood to adulthood, just like Jiang Siyu, she had sat on the back seat of Jiang Sinian's bicycle countless times.

The difference was that she was more precocious and would not hold onto Jiang Sinian's waist in the carefree way Jiang Siyu did.

The bicycle rode against the breeze, heading all the way in the direction of home.

"You, why didn't you let Li Mu chase me?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.

The bicycle tilted slightly to the left, and Jiang Sinian quickly steadied the handlebars, "He can like eight girls in three minutes; is that the kind you like?"

"I don't like him."

"Well, there you go," Jiang Sinian felt a sense of relief and pedaled the bicycle a bit faster, "From now on, both you and Juzi should stay away from him; you are both still young."

"Mm."

Jiang Yue was silent; she thought that Jiang Sinian must regard her as a younger sister.

An indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart, and the young girl's worries rose and fell with the bumps of the small path.

After sending Jiang Yue home, Jiang Sinian placed Liang Yu's schoolbag on the sofa.

His mother said that for these few days, she would temporarily not let him go to the hospital to see his younger sister; although she didn't say it so clearly, Jiang Sinian knew his mother didn't want him to have too much contact with Liang Yu.

Because his younger sister was hospitalized, the house felt exceptionally quiet.

As things quieted down, Jiang Sinian couldn't help but think of Li Mu's words from today again; why exactly did he forbid Li Mu from having designs on Jiang Yue?

Although they had grown up together, Jiang Sinian didn't consider himself a person who would meddle in other people's business.

If it were some other neighbor's younger sister, would he have been willing to break ties with Li Mu just to stop him from thinking about her?

The answer in his heart was almost ready to burst out: he would not.

So, when he heard Li Mu mention Jiang Yue in such a frivolous tone at that time, why was he so angry?

Lying on the bed, Jiang Sinian fell asleep without realizing it, and he had a dream.

At the beginning of the dream, he saw Jiang Yue in a red wedding dress, smiling with her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, looking very beautiful.

"Daughter-in-law~"

His mother brushed past him and hugged Jiang Yue.

"Sister-in-law~"

Jiang Siyu squeezed to the other side and called out to Jiang Yue enthusiastically.

Jiang Yue, however, turned her head at this moment and looked at him with a smile, "Jiang Sinian! When are you coming back to our home? I'm waiting for you."

Even though he was in a dream, Jiang Sinian still felt his heart beating very, very fast.

Our home?

The scene shifted, and the two of them appeared in a bedroom; the crowd from before had disappeared, and there was only each other.

He could feel Jiang Yue's shallow breathing, as well as the faint, elusive scent of lilies on her.

The bright red wedding dress was shed, and what met his eyes was snow-white skin...

Jiang Sinian woke up and went to the bathroom.

The dream was too realistic; he actually hadn't been able to control himself.

What was wrong with him?

Outside the window, the sky was growing dark; Liang Yu washed her face and then simply tidied up her loose hair.

Finally, she took a small bottle of brown liquid from her pocket, aimed it at her wrists and neck, and sprayed it a few times.

She hoped this thing would be as effective as those guys said.

In a little while, Jiang Sinian should be coming to deliver her schoolbag.

The fragrance slowly permeated the entire room.

As long as she could keep Jiang Sinian here tonight, then Jiang Sinian would have no choice but to marry her.

Otherwise, how could the Jiang Family continue to stand in Huaiyang?

Si Rong was an outstanding entrepreneur representative; even for the sake of the company's image, she wouldn't dare let her make a big scene.

She would only obediently appease her and then let Jiang Sinian welcome her into the family.

Another half hour passed, and Jiang Sinian still hadn't come; Liang Yu was getting a bit impatient.

Jiang Sinian didn't look like the kind of boy who wouldn't keep his word; she should be a little more patient, even if it was for the sake of a good life after marrying into the Jiang Family.

Finally, the door was pushed open.

However, the person who entered was not Jiang Sinian, whom Liang Yu had been looking forward to for quite a while.

It was his mother, carrying her schoolbag in her hand.

Liang Yu frowned; it seemed her plan had fallen through again.

"Your schoolbag, I've put it here." As soon as Si Rong entered the room, she smelled a strange, fragrant scent; she frowned and didn't dare stay long, placed the schoolbag at the foot of the bed, and turned to leave.

As soon as Si Rong returned to her daughter's hospital room, Jiang Siyu immediately asked, "Mom, what perfume did you spray today? It smells so good!"

"I didn't," Si Rong still had the scent from Liang Yu's room lingering in her nostrils, "I must have picked it up somewhere else."

"How are you feeling today?"

She sat down; for some reason, in the early winter weather, she suddenly felt a bit of heat in her body.

"The wound still hurts a bit, but I listened to the doctor uncle and held onto the wall to walk a few laps."

Si Rong opened the lunch box, "Then drink some millet porridge; you have to watch your diet for this whole month."

"Alright."

Jiang Siyu had not yet finished her millet porridge when Jiang Cheng arrived.

He brought some bananas that Jiang Siyu loved to eat.

"Are you not feeling well?" Jiang Cheng noticed Si Rong's cheeks were flushed a light pink, "Did you catch a cold?"

"No," Si Rong just felt her body was a bit hot and weak, even though her body had been perfectly fine in the afternoon.

Jiang Cheng pressed his cool hand against her forehead, and Si Rong let out a sigh of relief at once.

She was surprised by her own reaction.

Connecting this to the fragrance she had smelled earlier in Liang Yu's hospital room, could she have been drugged with some kind of aphrodisiac?

Jiang Cheng also noticed that Si Rong was more alluring than usual; he gave his daughter a few instructions, "Mom isn't feeling well, so I'm taking her home. I'll have Nainai come keep you company tonight."

"Okay," Jiang Siyu said, feeling a bit worried, though she was also confused, "Dad, if Mom isn't feeling well, why go home? Isn't this a hospital?"

"The kind of discomfort Mom has requires going home to get more rest."

Jiang Cheng half-embraced Si Rong's waist, and as they passed by Liang Yu's hospital room next door, she restrained her body's reaction and pushed open Liang Yu's door again.

Just as she had guessed, the fragrance in the room had mostly dissipated by now.

"Auntie? Is something the matter?" Liang Yu asked.

Si Rong shook her head, "I just wanted to ask, what perfume are you using? It smells quite nice."

"Auntie, I don't use perfume," Liang Yu looked at her with clear eyes, "It must have been the scent of flowers drifting in from outside the window just now."
