WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE? Villain in love 6

Arielle Sky

You know?

Arielle Sky

for someone so charming, you’ve got a mother with the emotional range of a broken toaster

Tang Zhaoran

What? *Zhaoran opened his eyes slowly*

Arielle Sky

Wen Yaqin. That’s your mom, right?

Minyu went still. Siheng’s lips curled as he leaned back to enjoy the incoming storm

Zhaoran stared at Arielle. Cold. Blank

Tang Zhaoran

She is my step mother

Arielle Sky

Wait what?

Arielle paused. Then blinked again

Arielle Sky

Ohhhhhh. Then why is she only sweet to Zhaoran and not you? Damn. I was about to throw hand

Zhaoran’s jaw twitched

Arielle turned to Minyu and casually tossed the orange peel in a tissue

Arielle Sky

Okay, new solution. Be part of my family

Lian Minyu

What?

Arielle Sky

Yeah. I’m adopting you. No questions asked. You’re my sister now

Lian Minyu

*chuckles*

Lian Minyu

You can't just adopt me

Arielle Sky

My mom would love you. And my dad’s a total softie. He sends me cat pics every morning. Every. Damn. Morning

Zhaoran’s fingers curled under the blanket

Arielle Sky

And my brother? Don’t even get me started. He once scared off a scammer just by looking at him. He’s the blueprint for what men should be

Zhaoran’s eye twitched

Siheng, ever the chaos gremlin, raised a brow

Jin Siheng

Sounds like a great guy. I think Minyu would love having a dangerous brother like that, huh

Arielle Sky

Exactly! Like, he’d never let anyone mistreat her. He’s always calm, always collected. Gives you that ‘you’re safe now’ vibe *grins*

Zhaoran sat up, sharp

Tang Zhaoran

Enough

Everyone turned

Zhaoran’s eyes were locked on Arielle, but his voice was meant for all of them

Tang Zhaoran

I don’t need to be compared to someone I don’t even know. And Minyu doesn’t need a replacement family. She has one

Jin Siheng

Woah. Jealousy. Table for one

Zhaoran ignored him

Tang Zhaoran

She’s mine. She’s my sister. And no one—no one—is taking her away

Lian Minyu

*sigh*

Lian Minyu

I am not going anywhere, Ge

Arielle Sky

He’s got issues *whispers*

Siheng leaned to Minyu, whispering too

Jin Siheng

Yeah… deeply buried, possessive, brotherly issues. Want me to drag him into therapy or you wanna handle it?

Tang Zhaoran

Oiii, don't lean too close

Minyu just stood there, caught between laughter and tears, realizing—

No matter what she’d ever lose in this life., Zhaoran wasn’t going anywhere

Knock! Knock!

Followed by the creak of the door

Tang Zianhai stepped in, dressed in his usual black suit, his sharp gaze scanning the room like he’d walked into a negotiation gone wrong

Tang Zianhai[Zhaoran’s father]

…What’s going on?

Tang Zhaoran

They’re trying to adopt Minyu *pouts*

Zianhai’s jaw clenched. Subtle. Dangerous

Arielle raised a brow

Arielle Sky

We were joking. Sort of

Tang Zianhai[Zhaoran’s father]

Minyu, is the young miss of Tang family

Arielle Sky

You don’t seem like a big fan of her, so—

Tang Zianhai[Zhaoran’s father]

Let me make one thing clear—Minyu is my daughter *icy cold voice*

Tang Zianhai[Zhaoran’s father]

I don't care if we are not related by blood but the moment she entered Tang mansion, she has always been my daughter

Zianhai nodded, then glanced at the others like a lion reclaiming his territory

Tang Zianhai[Zhaoran’s father]

Hope, this is clear *leaves quietly*

Siheng, ever the clown, raised both hands

Jin Siheng

Message received. No more family paperwork.

Arielle Sky

Damn... Now I understand from where Zhaoran got this issues *shrugs*

Lian Minyu

[thanks dad...]
