I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow

Raylan's eyes flashed in understanding the next moment, correctly guessing the cause of Vivian's tears. "Is Celine up there?"

Vivian trembled again as soon as she heard Celine's name.

That was all the answer that Raylan needed. She didn't even need to tell him verbally.

He sighed softly as he stuck his hands in his pockets, still looking a picture of elegance. "Get in the car. I'll take you home first."

Vivian was stunned. "No, no, I can go back by myself," she said in a hoarse voice.

Since Raylan had deliberately driven here, it was very likely that he had come to see Chow for matters.

Vivian had been living a vagrant life since she was a child. She had already developed a habit of not causing trouble for other people.

Nonetheless, it was obvious that Raylan didn't think of her as trouble.

He hesitated for a moment before a comforting smile appeared on his lips. "If you don't want to go back home, how about I bring you out for a spin?"

Vivian dried the tears on her face with the tissue he'd given her earlier.

Though she hadn't been able to stop her tears just now, as soon as she was aware of another person next to her, her tears finally stopped flowing.

It was just that her moist eyes were still a little red and swollen, making her look rather pitiful.

She widened her eyes at Raylan when he made the suggestion. "It's fine, Brother Raylan, you don't have to bring me anywhere," she reiterated. "I can take care of myself."

It seemed as if she'd already recovered, but her strong will and determination still made people feel sorry for her.

...

Even Raylan, a man who was used to pretending, couldn't help feeling strange as he looked at the girl.

This wasn't the first time he'd felt like this.

Raylan had felt this dull ache in his heart a few times already, and each time, Vivian had been by his side.

...

Raylan furrowed his brows again and suppressed the weird feeling in his heart. When he looked at her again, there was a small smile on his lips. "I know you can take care of yourself, but I want to accompany you."

He glanced behind him as he twirled his car keys with his fingers. "Why don't you be my companion for tonight? I've got a banquet later on that I need to attend. Think of it as doing me a little favour. It might also help you get your mind off things."

"Your companion?" Vivian widened her eyes in surprise and shook her head hurriedly. "No, I-I've not attended any events like this before. Also..."

Also, Chow had lost his temper at her the last time they'd brought up this matter.

She must be so pathetic to even be thinking about Chow right now.
