Hearing this, Zain, however, remained calm as always, with a touch of coldness on his face, -Are you so idle that you made a special trip all the way here?
-Hey, it’s true, it’s too much free time, so I came to see my sister.
-Sister?” Zain narrowed his eyes slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of the epithet.
-Yes, Yanis already calls me big brother, why don’t you change your name when you see me in the future? At that moment, Miguel could not avoid a smile in his eyes: “How is that, brother-in-law?
Zain: -……-
Yanis, who was on the sidelines, realized that Miguel was taking advantage of Zain. She had been fine with him calling Miguel big brother, but she hadn’t expected him to make a joke to Zain about such things.
It’s a joke she’s fine with, it’s a term of endearment, but I don’t know what Zain thinks of it.
With this in mind, Yanis spoke anxiously on Zain’s behalf.
-That… big brother Lin, I…
Before she could finish her sentence, her hand was grabbed by Zain and then he interrupted her: -What’s the hurry?
Yanis froze and tilted her head to look at him.
-Let him take a bite, it doesn’t matter much.
The most important thing is that the girl is well by his side, and the fact that she defends him like this is already the happiest thing for him.
-Tsk-. Miguel looked at this scene, sour, -I thought that even if you fall in love one day, you are definitely not the kind of master who will take pity on jade, I never thought that ah… you can spoil more than I thought, Yanis, you can’t find this man even in the future, value him! Ah.-
Yanis blushed at the two men’s words and felt completely unable to stay here, so he could only withdraw his hand and say, -There might be a bit of work going on downstairs, so I’ll go downstairs and help while you two talk.
With that, and without waiting for Zain to ask her to stay again, Yanis quickly got up and left.
When she had gone, Miguel’s face still held a flirtatious smile.
-A girl is a girl, a few jokes and you can’t beat it.
At her words, Zain looked at him slightly: -If you knew, why did you say it?
Life is boring, you have to give yourself something to do, otherwise it would be boring, right brother-in-law?
Zain: -……-
Considering that the anniversary of his wife’s death was in a few days, Zain could only push his emotions deeper into his chest.
-What, are you serious, is that the only one you’ve decided?
After the joke, the smile on Miguel’s face had not completely faded, but the seriousness was clearly written in his eyes when he asked the questions: -As your lifelong friend I would like to warn you that this girl is not to be trifled with, and if you can’t promise to treat her well for life, it’s better not to mess with her.
-……- Zain looked at him helplessly, “How do you know I won’t do it?
-Who knows if you will? After all, you’ve been ruthless for too long, and now that you have a girl by your side, who knows if you’ll suddenly go crazy and abandon her later? Although I haven’t seen much of her, I can tell from her demeanor that she is a person determined to go all the way. If she ever makes a mistake or gets her heart broken, I’m afraid she won’t be able to get rid of it for the rest of her life-.
These words are true, and Yanis is really that kind of person.
Zain had just been with her, but he also knew that Yanis was incredibly stubborn, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed in love with himself for so long.
But since he was with her, he was prepared for anything, and nothing unexpected or otherwise would happen.
Seeing that his friend was silent, Miguel’s face cut back his smile.
-But that thing, you’re not going to let them know?
The mention of that incident… Zain’s eyes changed slightly for a few moments, but remained unresponsive as Miguel continued to face him.
-However, I don’t think they need to know, but you’ve been hiding it from yourself all these years, are you really not going to talk about it?
Talk? There was nothing to say, Zain spoke with a light voice: -There are things that are better not to know in all your life-.
From what Zain said, Miguel probably understood that he was planning to keep it to himself for the rest of his life and never tell anyone.
-I broke the promise I made in the first place. In Zain’s eyes there was a vague look of pain as he said this.
Michael: -…… Actually, how can you say that, as long as the outcome doesn’t change, who cares about the process? The result is good and you don’t break your promise-.
At these words, Zain could only smile bitterly: -I hope so-.
The two were chatting upstairs when Yanis came downstairs and went into the kitchen, where Brisa immediately approached.
-Why are you down here?
Yanis blushed a little and said, “They want to talk and I don’t want to stay down there.
Brisa finally caught the hint: -Does that mean that Miguel and Uncle Jack know each other?
Yanis nodded.
-So that’s it. Not surprisingly, Zain was not at all surprised when Brisa said that Xiao was having dinner upstairs with Miguel, -They actually know each other, so this store…”.
Brisa’s mind spins quickly and she immediately thinks of the sudden rent reduction and the special circumstances at the beginning.
Yanis: -……-
-Mom, it is true that he came clean about this matter and tried to help me, but Miguel himself has since said so, telling me to trust my abilities, after all I passed his personal test when we went that day and he believes I will run the store with care and he is happy with it now-.
Brisa reached out lovingly and stroked her own daughter’s head and said softly: -No need to rush to explain, of course Mom knows my daughter is brilliant, but mainly I want to know if he wants to be good to you, that’s all.
Regardless of whether what Zain did was good for anything, the main thing is that he did it for his daughter, and that’s a good starting point.
Yanis choked and his face began to flush again.
-He, of course he’s been good to me, gee… let’s not talk about it.
-Are you shy after a few words? Why weren’t you shy when you walked into someone’s house?
Yanis: “Mom!
Brisa laughs: “No more, no more, make your own choice”.
Half an hour later, Miguel and Zain came down to say goodbye. Yanis looked at Zain and inexplicably wanted to follow him, but remembered that he had only been separated from him for a short time during the day, so he resisted the urge to do so.
It was Brisa, next to him, who saw something and nudged him on the shoulder: -If you want to go, come out-.
Yanis blushed and shook his head: -I’m not going.
