"You are lying!" Lin Jiangchu stated.
"What?"
"Little fool, you are lying to us." Lin Jiangchu smirked.
"Why would I lie to you second brother? I am not lying!" Lin Mochen denied firmly.
"No, you are lying." Lin Jiangchu said confidently. "In fact, you are not only lying to us but you are also hiding something from us."
Lin Mochen panicked.
"What are you hiding from us, little fool?" Lin Jiangchu asked as he cornered Lin Mochen.
"I am not hiding anything." Lin Mochen denied firmly and he started pushing Lin Jiangchu away for him. He didn't want to be confronted like that. "Second brother, I don't know why you are thinking that I might be lying to you but the truth is that I am not," he explained.
"Oh really?" Lin Jiangchu smirked. "If you are nor lying, then why are you so nervous little fool?"
"I-I am not nervous."
"Still lying, " Lin Jiangchu chuckled.
"Are you some lie detector machine or something? How can you say that I am lying?" Lin Mochen opposed.
"Hehe, I might not be a lie detector machine but I do get know when you lie.... because when you lie your left-hand starts to shake... little fool." Lin Jiangchu smirked. This was a close observation that he had done.
He had seen this many times, especially in his younger brother's case that when Lin Mochen lied, his left hand would shake slightly. But you would only notice this if you are paying close attention to it.
"That's how I know that you are lying to us, Lin Mochen." Lin Jiangchu said with a smug face.
Lin Mochen: "..."
He was stunned for a second after hearing his second brother's explanation. He looked down at his left hand and he narrowed his eyes. "Traitor..." he whispered in a low voice as he glanced at his left hand.
Now, what should he do?
Just as he was thinking about cooking up another lie to deceive his brothers, he heard his second brother's voice.
"Don't make up another lie, Mochen. I still have many other ways to detect whether you are lying or not." Lin Jiangchu notified.
"I am not making up lies." Lin Mochen muttered.
"Then are you finally going to tell us about the thing that you are hiding from us?" Lin Jiangchu questioned.
"I am not hiding anything!" Lin Mochen cried out.
Lin Jiangchu sighed. "Looks like you won't listen to me. Elder brother, now only you can make him open his mouth."
Lin Mochen eyes widened when he heard that. He knew that he would never win against his elder brother but this time he had to do it. He had to do this for Li Xiaolu, her safety, and for their family. Like this, Lin Mochen was encouraging himself internally to be strong in front of his elder brother and be quiet.
He was determined to not open his mouth, no matter what they asked or did. Finally, making a decision in his heart Lin Mochen looked up at his elder brother. "I am not hiding anything, " he said seriously.
Lin Junfeng looked at his younger brother for a few seconds before he instructed Lin Jiangchu to close the door. Lin Jiangchu was quick to listen to his elder brother's words and he immediately closed the door.
Lin Mochen looked at the close door with a puzzled look and then he sneaked a look at his Elder brother. "El-elder brother why do want the door to be closed?" he asked nervously.
Instead of answering his question, Lin Junfeng asked, "Who's Li Xiaolu?"
"An actress...." Lin Mochen answered hesitantly.
"I am asking about her identity, " Lin Junfeng mentioned.
"Oh! She is Zhang Zhehan's wife..."
"And?" Lin Junfeng pressed on.
Lin Mochen panicked. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster by each passing moment. He clenched his fist and released them again. He replied in a small voice, "She is my f-friend..."
"And ?"
"And what else...." Lin Mochen countered back with a confused look.
"I didn't know that my little brother had grown up so much that would start acting smart with me." Lin Junfeng sighed slightly with a disappointed look.
Lin Mochen felt guilty. He really loved and respected his elder brother very much. He had never hidden something from his elder brother and that's why he was feeling very bad deep inside his heart. To him, it felt like he was betraying his elder brother.
"Mochen what are you hiding from me? Tell me, I am your elder brother. It's not like I am going to hurt you with that secret..." Lin Junfeng said honestly. He really wanted to know what his brother was hiding from him.
He knew that this secret was connected to Li Xiaolu and by Lin Mochen's words and by his behavior, he was already perceiving that secret. He just wanted to hear it from Lin Mochen's mouth so that he can know whether what he was guessing was correct or not.
Hearing his elder brother's words, Lin Mochen thought about it. They were all Li Xiaolu's brothers and it was not like once this secret comes out, they would hurt Li Xiaolu. After knowing the truth, Lin Mochen knew that his brothers would protect Li Xiaolu with everything they had. After thinking deeply, he realized that hiding Li Xiaolu's identity from his brothers was meaningless.
Making up his mind, Lin Mochen looked at his brother. He took a deep breath, "El-elder brother, I am sorry that I lied to you. I didn't want to hide this matter from you either but I was afraid and worried."
"It's okay. No matter what it is, you can always tell me, Mochen." Lin Junfeng assured as he patted his younger brother's shoulder for support.
"It's about Xiaolu...." Lin Mochen hesitated.
"Wait, I guessed what your secret is." Lin Jinagchu said jumping on his feet excitedly.
