The Second Love
Yurou's cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, and she was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Seeing her overly excited appearance, I couldn't help but tease her with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you this excited on your first day of internship?" "Look at how red your face is..." Yurou's voice trembled as she waved her hand to interrupt me, "No, no, it's not about work!" "Sis, let me tell you, when I was coming back just now, I met someone on the way." "Guess who it is?" I looked at her with amusement and asked, "Do I have any special abilities to guess where you went?" "But judging from your reaction, did you meet your crush?""Did he confess to you?" I was just joking, but unexpectedly, Yurou's eyes widened instantly, and she danced around, vigorously nodding at me. I chuckled, and my curiosity instantly became active. "No way, did your crush really confess to you?" "Who is the other person? Is it your classmate? Someone from Lightspring?" Yurou smiled and didn't say anything, just nodding and shaking her head at me, leaving me confused. What does this mean? Is it true or not? It wasn't until several minutes later that Yurou finally calmed down temporarily. After her excitement subsided, she patted her heart and leaned closer to me, whispering in my ear, "Sis, it's Nicholas Scott!" "My crush, my idol, my husband... Nicholas Scott! I met him!"After hearing her words, I was dumbfounded and stuttered in response, "...Who? Chu... Mo?" Yurou vigorously nodded at me, and I could almost see pink stars twinkling in her eyes. "Yes!" She pressed her hands against her chest, her face blushing with a shy and infatuated expression. "I must have saved the Milky Way in my past life to meet my crush while buying water!" "He's so handsome, even more handsome in person than on TV!" "Ah ah ah ah ah! Sis, I can't handle it, I love him even more now!" I was speechless and had a black line running across my head. Subconsciously, I said, "Calm down, he already has a fiancée." As soon as I said that, Yurou's face instantly drooped. She glared at me with resentment and complained, "Sis, can you stop bursting my bubble?" "Why didn't you end up with Nicholas Scott? If you two were together, even if I couldn't have him, at least I could see him often. He would be part of our family!" "Well, now he's going to be part of someone else's family, unfortunately..." I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized and reached out to pinch her arm. Yurou winced in pain and stopped fantasizing. Before she could speak again, I spoke with a serious expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be with Nicholas Scott?" "Get a grip, your brother-in-law is over there!" I pointed towards the kitchen, where Dominic Hartnell was busy making risotto.Yurou pouted, rubbing the spot where I pinched her, and huffed, "Sis, you're not being honest. When you two were in the news before, I asked you the same thing, and now it's the same!" "My mom even called and told me that on the day you two had risotto, Nicholas Scott came to see you. You two seemed close!" "My mom noticed it, there's something going on between you two!" I suddenly had a headache. I knew there would be consequences from that day, Gianna Zanetti... I couldn't help but glance back at Mohan, maybe Vivienne Zanetti had also mentioned it to him... Sigh, this is just ridiculous! Meanwhile, Yurou continued, "Sis, are you afraid that your brother-in-law will get angry if he finds out?" "Don't worry, I will never tell him." "But... can you tell me why you didn't accept him?" Yurou had a curious expression, "Although my brother-in-law is also great, my idol is not bad either!" "Why did you marry my brother-in-law?" As Yurou's words became more and more absurd, I felt uneasy. I didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, who knows what else she could come up with. "Stop making wild guesses, there's really nothing between me and Nicholas Scott. What your mom told you is all nonsense, just baseless rumors." "Put away your fantasies, or else I'll tell your brother-in-law not to let you intern and let Gianna Zanetti deal with you when you go back!" I threatened sternly, using all means necessary. Yurou pursed her lips, still looking at me with hope, struggling to speak.Before she could say anything, I quickly gave her a stern look. Only then did Yurou reluctantly give in, disappointedly saying, "Okay, fine, I won't say anything... I won't say anything..." I breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that threats still had some effect. Hmm... after giving you a big stick just now, I think it's time to be gentle. So I softened my expression and said, "Alright, why don't you go take a shower first? It's hot outside, and it'll be more comfortable after you've showered." Yurou bit her lip and looked at me with a somewhat pitiful expression, lost in thought. I raised my hand and tapped her on the forehead, about to comfort her again, when she suddenly asked me, "Sis, do you think... I can enter the entertainment industry like this? Can I act?" I was instantly taken aback, my train of thought unable to keep up.Enter the entertainment industry? How can she think it's as simple as going to the market to buy groceries? Just enter and that's it? And acting, how would she do that? She's completely inexperienced, with no skills or techniques. Would she just blindly act with her eyes closed? After being stunned for a moment, I shook my head and didn't respond. I just said, "Alright, focus on your studies and stop fooling around... Go take a shower!" Yurou hesitated and finally left with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Seeing that she finally stopped pestering me with all those random questions, I let out a sigh of relief and returned to the living room. Lou and Mohan were still chattering away, but I suddenly didn't feel like joining in the fun. Instead, I felt a sense of unease.So I walked over with a stern face and sent the two of them back to their rooms to take a shower. Now my ears finally had some peace and quiet. Just as I sat down on the sofa, Dominic Hartnell came over with a plate of clean grapes. He placed the grapes down and sat beside me, leaning in for a kiss. He asked, "Why did you chase them away? Were they bothering you?" "How about I purchase an apartment near the company for them to live in?" he suggested. I shook my head repeatedly and replied, "There's no need to buy a house specifically for them. I just wanted them to take a shower. They returned all sweaty from being outside, and it's uncomfortable for me to smell them." Dominic Hartnell gently caressed my cheek and smiled indulgently, saying, "Well, as long as you're happy."Affectionately, I rested my head against his shoulder and mentioned Yurou's desire to pursue acting, conveniently omitting Nicholas Scott. Initially, I only intended to vent a little, but Dominic Hartnell's response left me speechless.
