The onset of a nightmare

The old Ji Mansion.

Since Lin Jian was pretending to be Ruby's boyfriend, it made sense for him to use 'paying aunt Lin a visit' as an excuse to see Ruby. Xiehan had sent him a message to remind him of the right time to make his appearance.

When he arrived, she was in the gazebo in the front yard, reading a book. She looked so absorbed in it that it would take courage to interrupt her.

Scratch that. He was simply scared. Previously, he had been carefree around her. Even when she suddenly gave him the condition to prove his love to her, he had not been this nervous around her for a second. However, now that he knew she was Xiehan's sister, he couldn't help feeling pressured.

He had seen how protective Xiehan was of his cousin, Xiaoshi. If he did the slightest thing and upset his sister, wouldn't that man hack him to death?
