After holding her for a long time, Chen Haoxuan finally let go of Chen Yina with a satisfied expression. He observed her closely and noticed that her face was now free of any acne or scars, smooth and white as jade. Coupled with her exquisite features, she could be considered perfect.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan staring at her made Chen Yina feel even more shy. She said softly, "Brother Xuan, you shouldn't stare at me like that."
"I was right about you all along; your features are truly beautiful. Now that your skin has improved, it completely showcases your perfect features. Don't blame me for staring; blame yourself for being so perfect," Chen Haoxuan joked.
"Brother Xuan, thank you. You gave me this beauty. If it weren't for you, I might have felt insecure for the rest of my life," Chen Yina said emotionally to Chen Haoxuan. If he had said at that moment, "If this moves you, marry me," she would have agreed without a second thought.
Chen Haoxuan reached out and gently stroked Chen Yina's hair, smiling as he said, "You are my sister; there's no need to thank me. It's only natural for a brother to help his sister."
After thinking for a while, Chen Yina felt she should seize the moment. With her head down and her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her dress, she quietly asked, "Brother Xuan, if there was a girl who loved you like I do, would you accept her?" This was a hint; although it was obvious she was referring to herself, it was better than directly confessing to Chen Haoxuan. She felt this way of expressing herself was less awkward.
Does Chen Yina have a twin sister or sister? Since they grew up together, Chen Haoxuan surely knew whether she had other sisters. He understood what Chen Yina meant; she was hinting that she loved him. Chen Haoxuan pretended to be clueless and smiled as he replied, "If there really were a girl like Nana, I would treat her just like I treat Nana and consider her as my sister." His words also implied that he only saw her as a sister.
Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's response, Chen Yina felt very sad. He truly only regarded her as a sister and had never loved her—neither the ugly version of her in the past nor the beautiful version of her now. She turned around and walked a few steps but couldn't accept it. She looked back at Chen Haoxuan and asked, "Brother Xuan, do you really not love me at all?"
"Nana, don't joke around. If Li Ping hears this, she'll skin me alive," Chen Haoxuan replied jokingly.
"Are you afraid my parents would refuse? If that's the case, I can talk to them. They like you so much; they would definitely agree to let us be together," Chen Yina said seriously. Sometimes love can make people act foolishly; just like now, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would fight for it even if it meant facing failure.
Chen Haoxuan never expected that Chen Yina loved him to this extent. He explained, "Nana, listen to me; I've always seen you as my sister, you know?"
Suddenly, Chen Yina turned around and threw herself into Chen Haoxuan's arms, crying as she said, "I don't want that! I want to be your girlfriend; I want to be your wife! I want to spend my life with you. Brother Xuan, please don't reject me! If you don't like me like this now, I can change—I really can..."
Chen Haoxuan gently stroked Chen Yina's back and said softly, "Nana, when did you fall in love with me? Didn't you always see me as your brother?"
Tightly hugging Chen Haoxuan, Chen Yina replied, "I fell in love with you back in middle school. Because I thought I was ugly, I silently had a crush on you all these years. Now that I've become beautiful, I finally have the courage to say what I've wanted to tell you for so long: I love you."
Now Chen Haoxuan realized that Chen Yina had secretly loved him for so many years. He didn't know how to respond to her. As a normal man, he liked beautiful women. But the problem was that he had always seen her as his own sister, so he never thought of her in a romantic way; it was only sibling love.
"Nana, isn't it good for us to be siblings for life? If you can't bear to part with me, you don't have to marry too far away; that way, you can see me often!" Chen Haoxuan said.
"No, I don't want to be your sister. I don't want to marry anyone else; I only want to marry you," Chen Yina buried her head in Chen Haoxuan's embrace and cried.
Chen Haoxuan could feel his shirt getting wet from Chen Yina's tears. He was conflicted about her feelings for him. After thinking for a moment, he decided it would be better to delay the conversation, hoping that after some time, Chen Yina would meet her prince charming.
Supporting Chen Yina, he gently said, "Nana, can you give me some time?" Chen Haoxuan was clever; he didn't specify how long, giving himself an excuse to postpone.
With tears in her eyes, Chen Yina looked at Chen Haoxuan seriously and said, "Brother Xuan, I will wait for you."
Chen Haoxuan took Chen Yina's hand and said, "Come with me; I have a gift for you."
He led her outside their residence, where next to his BMW was a pink electric scooter. The scooter looked incredibly cute and seemed tailor-made for Chen Yina.
Girls naturally love cute and pretty things, and Chen Yina was no exception. Seeing such an adorable scooter made her instantly forget her earlier sadness. She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow—Brother Xuan, is this really for me?"
"It's not for anyone else; of course it's for you! I personally made it just for you. It's one of a kind in this world. Give it a try," Chen Haoxuan smiled at Chen Yina.
Electric vehicles are not something high-tech; they are easy to operate. Moreover, Chen Haoxuan had previously taught Chen Yina how to ride a motorcycle, so he was not worried about her inability to ride.
"Mm-hmm." Chen Yina got on the electric vehicle and started it.
Chen Yina's flowing hair danced in the wind, her clothes fluttered as well, and her smile, along with the remnants of tears on her face, combined with the unique electric vehicle, created a very beautiful scene. Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but quickly take out his phone and snap many pictures of Chen Yina.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan taking photos of her, Chen Yina drove the electric vehicle closer to him and happily said, "Brother Xuan, can we take a picture together?"
"Sure! Just wait a moment while I adjust the camera settings," Chen Haoxuan replied. After adjusting his phone, he placed it on the roof of his vehicle.
Chen Haoxuan ran to Chen Yina's side and sat behind her on the electric vehicle, wrapping his arms around her waist. This felt a bit strange; it should have been Chen Yina holding onto Chen Haoxuan's waist. It seemed odd for a grown man to adopt a girl's posture.
