Acting Pretty! Go and Act in your home!

"Are you… really going to…" Qian Ruixin bit her lip, the words trembling out.

Her meaning was clear. Wang Xiao's gaze snapped to her, unreadable, a hint of amusement lurking. Then, to her disbelief, he nodded—slowly, deliberately.

Qian Ruixin froze. *He's serious. He's actually going to do it.*

Her heart pounded, half from disbelief, half from something darker she couldn't name. Gritting her teeth, she steadied herself. "Is it really that important to you?"

A plea. Silent and desperate. Couldn't he spare his sister?

Wang Xiao smiled faintly, but said nothing. Instead, he set Wang Jiarong's body down gently, his movements unnervingly tender. In one fluid motion, he pulled Qian Ruixin onto his lap.

"You think I can't love you both?" His voice was playful, but something in it made her shiver.
