"Second brother, Xiaolu is not taking anybody's place." Lin Mochen said trying to explain to his brother.

"What do you know? Even Mom and Dad are planning to adopt her into our family." Lin Jiangchu grumbled.

"What! Really?" Lin Mochen jumped up on the bed with great excitement. "That's great!" he laughed.

Lin Jiangchu: "..."

Lin Jiangchu was shocked. "Wait, you agree with that?" he asked.

"What's there not to agree with?" Lin Mochen shrugged. "I think mom and dad have taken a good decision. I am so excited that very Xiaolu would become a part of our family." he smiled.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Lin Jiangchu cursed as he walked back and forth in front of the table. "I should have known it. That girl is so sweet that even my little fool is bowled over by her sweetness." he panicked.

Lin Mochen: "....."

Lin Jiangchu walked over to Lin Mochen and he started shaking him hard by grabbing Lin Mochen's shoulders. "Little fool, wake up! We cannot let our parents adopt that sweet girl."

"Se-second brother, st-stop shaking me!"

Lin Mochen pushed away his brother's hand and he sat down on the bed again. Taking a deep breath he sighed, "Second brother, you are overacting."

"I am not overacting, Mochen. I am worried." Lin Jiangchu said.

"That's unnecessary..."

"Little fool, why don't you understand? Our baby sister won't like it if we take Li Xiaolu as our sister now."

"That's not going happen, second brother. Trust me." Lin Mochen assured in a confident voice.

Lin Jinagchu sighed. He didn't know how to explain it to his younger brother anymore. Just like his parents, Lin Mochen was also keen on approving this adoption decision.

Actually, he was not against Li Xiaolu nor did he have any hatred toward her. Instead, he found her very sweet and kind and cute. She was just like how he imagined his sister would be. And that's why he was against on the decision made by his parents to adopt her.

"I give up." Lin Jiangchu sighed, "Elder brother, now only you can make him understand that we can't let our parents adopt that girl." he said looking at his elder brother with hope.

Lin Mochen also glanced at his elder brother carefully. Taking a deep breath he started speaking what he wanted to say before his elder brother could try to make him change his mind.

"Elder Brother before you say anything, I just need to speak a few words with you as well as second brother." Lin Mochen said.

Lin Junfeng nodded his head which meant that Lin Mochen could continue.

"Elder brother, Second brother, I, I just want to say that Li Xiaolu is a very good girl. I don't know what you think of her but please don't judge her in the same way you judge other women. She's different from all of those scheming women out there."

"And about that adoption thing, Li Xiaolu, herself is unaware that our parents want to adopt her. So, this is not her fault. She knows nothing, " he informed.

"She has already been through so much and that's why we want to give her a good environment, a good home. I know that you both are against this decision very much but at least don't be so rude and hostile towards her," he added.

"Also, I am agreeing with our parents on this matter. I also want her to become a part of our family. So, trying to change my mind won't work." Lin Mochen concluded.

"You, you...." Lin Jiangchu looked at his younger brother very angrily. "Little fool, are you trying to go against on your brothers for that outsider?" he asked.

"She is not an outsider." Lin Mochen argued.

"Why?" Lin Junfeng asked.

Lin Mochen and Lin Jianhchu stopped arguing and both of then looked at their elder brother.

"Why is she not an outsider? Mochen what do you mean by that?" Lin Junfeng asked again.

"I, I, Elder brother I mean that she is not an outsider to me. I work with her and she is my friend — "

"Still, that doesn't change anything." Lin Junfeng interrupted.

"Earlier you said that if our baby sister is back then she wouldn't be hating us for adopting Li Xiaolu into our family. Why is that? Why are you so sure?"

"What makes you so confident, Mochen? Hmmm?" Lin Junfeng asked.

Lin Mochen panicked. His heart started beating faster as he was being questioned by his elder brother. He could feel that his elder brother was getting suspicious about his behavior towards Li Xiaolu. He knew that he couldn't let them know anything. This was not the right time yet so he braced himself to answer or in short to lie to his elder brother.

"Mochen, what are you thinking? Why are so confident about our parent's decision?" Lin Junfeng asked calmly.

"Elder Brother, that because.... that because I think our baby sister won't be so narrow-minded. She would understand our parents' hearts and wishes." Lin Mochenw quickly explain.

Lin Junfeng chuckled, "Is that so?"

Lin Mochen nodded nervously.

Nobody said anything for a minute. Lin Mochen was starting to get nervous with each passing second. He peeked at his elder brother's face but he couldn't make our anything by looking at him.

Lin Mochen couldn't take it anymore. "Elder brother, second brother I think we should all go downstairs otherwise mom would be worried, " he said trying to make an escape from them.

Just as he was about to walk out of the room, Lin Jiangchu grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.

"What happened, second brother? Why did you pull my hand? Do you want something?" Lin Mochen asked with a smile on his face. He was so panicked and nervous on the inside but he didn't show it on his face.

"You are lying!"
