Bai Luo Yin had just sat in the car when Gu Hai suddenly asked him, "What did you do earlier today?"

"Nothing much, I just went to Aunt Zou's place." Bai Luo Yin replied indifferently as he turned to look at the person beside him

It did not take long for Gu Hai to notice the obvious change in Bai Luo Yin's mood. He wondered to himself. Strange, he was fine this morning, why is he in a bad mood now? Who the hell made my wife upset?

Gu Hai's rough fingers reached out to fiddle with a few strands of hair that were hanging loosely in front of Bai Luo Yin's eyes before he gently asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing. Let's go now."

Without saying anything else, Gu Hai started the car then passed a box to Bai Luo Yin.

"What's this?" Bai Luo Yin asked.

Gu Hai did not respond. He was strenuously steering the car along the alley. Then Bai Luo Yin opened the box and looked inside. .

"Why did you buy me a phone?" Bai Luo Yin asked as his brows wrinkled together, indicating his disapproval, "I don't need it. Just give it to someone else."

"What do you mean you don't need it? I couldn't find you at all this morning. You know how worried I was?"

Bai Luo Yin leaned back into the seat and closed his eyes. There was tiredness and fatigue drenching his voice once he spoke again.

"You have money again?"

"I don't have money."

Bai Luo Yin's resting eyes immediately shot open, "You don't have any money, yet you have the nerve to buy this?"

"My god of wealth has returned, right?" What Gu Hai meant was his cousin was back.

Looking squarely at Gu Hai, Bai Luo Yin scolded him, "You're always sponging off other people!"

Gu Hai grinned ambiguously, "He's the one that wanted to give me the money. It's only right if I spend it."

The man in a black suit and elegant necktie sat quietly in front of a window in a luxurious private room of a five star hotel. The lightning inside the room made the outline of his face became sharper, his face looked as if it was covered with a layer of ice frost. It remained expressionless even at the sound of the door opening.

"Brother, this is Bai Luo Yin."

Without bothering to raise his head to look at them, the man merely replied with a faint 'Yeah'.

"This is my brother, Gu Yang."

Bai Luo Yin secretly answered Gu Hai, is everyone in your family born in water? [1]

Once seated at the dining table, the waiters began to serve a variety of delicious western cuisine . But Bai Luo Yin had no appetite and did not touch his food since the beginning. His mind was filled with Aunt Zou's problem .

Noting this, Gu Hai asked, "You don't have any appetite?"

Bai Luo Yin casually picked up his knife and his fork, "Yes."

Gu Yang--who was sitting quietly besides Gu Hai--suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and emotionless. "Hailuoyin." [2]

It was only then did Bai Luo Yin lift his head up to look straight at Gu Yang. He was momentarily stunned. Although his face was a bit similar to Gu Hai, their personalities were the complete opposite.
