117, What does 'malicious' mean?

Shi Annuo was surprised by what he heard. He stared blankly at Han Qianqian for a moment before he suddenly broke into a loud and hearty laugh. The sound was rather abrupt in the quiet surroundings.

Han Qianqian was startled and quickly tugged at his sleeve, "Stop laughing, your brother might hear us. Be careful, he could send you to Africa to supervise coal mining."

Unable to suppress his laughter, Shi Annuo maintained his usual playful demeanor. Raising an eyebrow, he responded, "So even in your eyes, my brother has a sinister side. Yet you're still be willing to marry him unconditionally?"

Han Qianqian scrunches her nose and replied, "There are so many bad sides: he's cold, selfish, heartless, and has a sharp tongue. But it is for those reasons that I like him. Liking someone shouldn't be based on their negatives, because those negatives seem special to me."
