Married at First Sight Chapter 4476

In the past, whenever my younger sister took business away from Zhan Wei, he would sometimes show up at Lan Group to confront her about it.

After watching the two of them clash for years, the employees at Lan Group have grown used to their frequent battles.

“I went there today intending to settle the score, but he had guests… so I let him off for now,”
Lan Ruoruo declared triumphantly, casting herself as the victor.

“Oh, really?”

Lan Dongxiao walked over and sat in front of his sister’s desk, amused. “Then why do you look so annoyed? Did you lose?”

“Lose? No way. Big brother, don’t undermine me like that. When I’ve gone up against Zhan Wei, I honestly haven’t lost that many times.”

It was about even.
Okay—maybe slightly more than half.

“I even slapped him across the face,”
Lan Ruoruo muttered. “I’ve disliked him for so long. I’ve been wanting to throw him in a sack and beat him up for years.”

“You actually did it? Sounds like you were just angry and embarrassed.”

Lan Ruoruo: “…Brother, whose side are you on? I’m your sister! Zhan Wei is our long-time rival. Yangtai’s business is booming—they’ve even opened a new branch.”

“Zhan Wei’s capabilities shouldn’t be underestimated.”

“I never have. We’ve been rivals for years, and I’ve always seen him as a worthy opponent.”

Lan Dongxiao nodded. “The market’s getting tougher, and even successful companies take hits. Yangtai has grown under Zhan Wei’s leadership, but they’re not immune to losses. Everyone’s looking to adapt and transform.”

“Maybe we won’t be competing forever.”

He didn’t want to end up as Zhan Wei’s colleague—it would mean constant rivalry with a formidable opponent.

It’s better to stand out independently than to always be locked in competition.

It’s better to stand out on your own than to constantly face intense competition.

“He cut my beard, and I was furious—I wanted to skin him alive. Then I saw him drinking coffee with a young woman, and I acted out a scene straight from a TV drama. I used the moment to stir up trouble and ended up slapping him.”

“After that slap, I felt amazing—physically and emotionally. Honestly, I’ve wanted to hit him for a long time.”

Lan Dongxiao asked, “…Did your hand hurt?”

“It stung a bit at the time, but it’s fine now. I iced his face and, since my hand was sore from the hit, I iced that too. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Lan Dongxiao chuckled. “You slapped him, then helped him with the swelling? Why’d you even hit him? Were you that bored?”

Lan Ruoruo pouted. “Do you think I wanted to put a cold compress on him? He said he’d call the police, and I panicked. So I had to apologize, help him with the swelling, and even promised to treat him to a meal in a couple of days.”

“He was having coffee with a young woman? Who was she? He’s been in Yangcheng for five or six years, and he’s kept a clean record—no scandals, no affairs, and he’s rejected every woman who’s tried to pursue him.”

“Could it be that he has… unusual tastes? Maybe he likes married women?”

“At first, I thought the same—either he was secretly married or liked someone else’s wife. But it turns out she was his sister-in-law. She brought her two kids here for summer vacation.”

Lan Dongxiao said, “So it was his sister-in-law. I told you—he’s not the type to get involved with just anyone.”

He quietly suspected that Zhan Wei had feelings for his sister.

But neither of them seemed to realize it.

They had been locked in conflict for so many years, seeing each other as sworn enemies. If there were romantic feelings between them, they wouldn’t be obvious.

Despite their rivalry in the same industry, Lan Dongxiao thought Zhan Wei and his sister were an ideal match.

A talented man and a beautiful woman—both strong and capable.

That’s how he felt, but he was never sure enough to say it out loud.
