Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Six years later.

Jin wheeled his bag towards the airport exit while also carrying two carrier bags with him. The winter's warm sunshine lit up his handsome face as he stopped and waited.

Something moved in the carrier bag and he smiled looking down. "Cannot wait to meet Bro, right?"

*Meow*

Ai-chan softly meowed from inside the bag, earnestly looking outside through the netted frame. In another bag, Jun-cute looked away as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Jiiiiiiin!"

A pleasant, familiar voice was heard from afar a few minutes later but it only served to annoy Jin. His brow twitched heavily as a figure rushed towards him who he didn't want to see at all.

"Zhou Ai…"

He felt an urge to run back and catch the next flight to Paris.

Ai furiously waved her hand with the brightest smile on her lips. "I am here!"

She was a little breathless by the time she reached him. "I finally see you!"

At thirty now, Ai's beauty blossomed like the spring. Her soft facial features looked more pronounced and the six happy years definitely reflected in her demeanor.

His gaze darkened. "Don't tell me you came to pick me up." Experience tales with m v|l -NovelFire

"Is there a problem?"

Jin looked left and right in hopes of finding a face which would bring some relief to his heart but his expectations came only crashing down.

"You purposely did this, didn't you?" He spat his bitterness.

She scrunched up her brows. "What's the matter in coming to pick you? Aren't you my adorable brother-in-law?"

"You are not my adorable sister-in-law though," he dryly said.

"Yes, because I am your naturally warm and lovable sister-in-law," she proudly beamed.

"How come Bro still lives with you?"

"He loves me very much and so do I."

"I refuse to believe this!"

Ai chuckled. "You are just like how you were six years ago. Cute and grumpy. But definitely more handsome than before. You look so much like Jun now."

His ears ever so slightly perked up at that and a bit of sourness seemed to dissolve from his expression. "I see."

Inwardly, he was very happy to be compared to Jun.

Ai knew that the one sentence would be enough to calm down his annoyance so she was relaxed. Then her light brown eyes turned into stars as she looked at two more members who she missed a lot too.

"Jun-cute! Ai-chan!"

She eagerly unchained the bags and the cats hopped out. Ai-chan jumped in her hands while Jun-cute onto her shoulder. But he looked as if he wasn't that thrilled to meet her again.

This human is the same as ever, he harrumphed.

Ah my heart is melting…

Ai cried as she hugged the cats. "Finally I get to hug you. It was so agonizing to see you two through only a video call for all these years. I missed you a lot. You also missed me, right?"

The cats softly meowed. Ai-chan licked the back of her hand and Jun-cute snuggled closer to her neck.

It's only because it's very cold!

"Jin!"

Then arrived the figure of a tall man walking towards Jin who mattered the most to him. His dark brown irises glistened with pure joy akin to the pure sunlight that also reflected on his lips in the form of a widely stretched smile.

"Bro!!!"

The two brothers shared a warm embrace as Jun firmly patted his back. The six years of distance melted into nothingness as if Jin never left.

The early thirties was faring very well for Jun as if he touched a new definition of handsomeness. His looks were at the peak of his gifted Liu family genes.

"You are finally back," Jun grinned. "And you grew up so well."

"Yes…" Jin's eyes turned a little misty. "I am so happy to see you doing well too."

"It's NOW that I am doing fully well. My little brother is back, after all. Now it will feel complete."

He slightly blushed.

Ai cheekily said, "Aish you adore Jun so much. The blush on your cheeks is cute."

He threw a glare at her.

"Bro, why did she have to come here!"

"Your sister-in-law insisted," he chuckled as he took Ai-chan in his arms.

*Meowww*

Her clear eyes sparkled with the familiar scent and she happily nuzzled her head against his chest. For that reason, Jun-cute's welcoming reaction was to hiss at Jun.

"It's only to bully me, right?"

Ai frowned. "How come you still don't believe in my pure feelings for my cute brother-in-law?"

"Stop calling me cute!"

"Then Jini-boy?"

It was the nickname that Zhou Yichen came up with.

Jin's expression turned further ugly.

Jun rolled his eyes. "How about you two continue your bickering in the car? We should head back. Everybody is waiting for Jin."

Jin beamed. "I cannot wait to see everybody again. Especially my nieces and nephews!"

—

The air in the Liu villa burst into a celebration mood as Jin returned after six long years.

Nana softly cried as she hugged him. "You grew up so tall and healthy. I missed you."

"I missed you too, Mom," his voice slightly choked. "Mom, Dad, Grandma, Nuo…"

A series of gasps were then heard.

"What about us!!!"

As soon as Nana withdrew from the embrace, the twins squeezed and squished Jun from both sides till he felt breathless.

"How dare you not include us in your missing list!" Jian glared at him.

"Aren't we your most favorite brothers who you cannot live without?" Nian gritted his teeth.

No I can definitely live without you two…he thought amidst their suffocating hug.

"Hey you didn't include me too!" Liu Hai had serious complaints as well with the way he was excluded.

"Me too! That's not fair!"

And so did Jin's uncle, Liu Jing.

"Quiet you all. Do you not see how my poor grandson is tired?" Liu Chunhua reprimanded them.

"B-But we are facing injustice, Grandma!" The twins cried.

"Go away!" Jin pushed them back, annoyed.

Before the twins could grab him again, a small figure dashed in the living room and hugged Jin's legs. His hazel brown irises that were a beautiful amalgamation of the color of his parents' eyes sparkled at him brightly.

"Uncle Jin!"
