Although Third Brother knew that Gu Ziling's words were not trustworthy, it was still too overwhelming for him.
Hu Ran could not sit still any longer. She moved forward and hugged him. "Third Brother… Don't be sad."
Third Brother smiled but his eyes were teary. "Eighth Brother was right. Maybe I can't protect you, Xiao Ran."
"Then why don't we back each other up? Hmm?" Hu Ran's gaze was no longer innocent. She looked at him with a serious face.
Third Brother looked at her. He was puzzled. But Hu Ran held his hands tightly and said, "Although I don't know how your brother knows I am faking it, I still have to admit that he is a very clever man. No one has suspected me in the past two years, only your brother and your little sister-in-law."
"You…"
"I faked it," Hu Ran replied.
Third Brother laughed. "So, you have been fooling everyone?"
