Only you in my love novel Chapter 822

"I thought you said instant noodles are unhealthy!" Michelle said in confusion as she licked her lips in anticipation at the steaming bowl of instant noodles before her.

Tasha lowered her head and muttered "tsk" under her breath.

Leon's mood changed as quickly as the weather.

On top of the noodles was a layer of green vegetables and braised beef.

There were even four plump prawns, mushrooms and a poached egg.

Tasha glanced at her plain bowl of noodles. Then, she eyed all the luxurious ingredients in Michelle's bowl, green with envy. She had to take a deep breath to calm herself down.

It was as though they were two children in a family, but one of them was the biological child while the other was adopted. The difference in treatment was obvious.

Smacking her lips loudly, Michelle said, "Leon..."

"You can eat now!" Leon handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Instant noodles are healthy in this way."

Tasha rolled her eyes secretly.

"Thank you, Leon," Michelle said gratefully, giving him a quick peck before finally digging into her delicious meal.

Leon chuckled and pinched her cheek.

Being the unfavorable third wheel, Tasha could do nothing but eat her own food gloomily. She vowed she would go on a blind date.

After lunch, Michelle started nodding off to sleep, so Leon led her to the bedroom and tucked her in. Just as he was about to sit down at the edge of the bed, his phone buzzed.

It was a message from Wynn.

"I haven't found Valerie yet, but I did find the interview video you wanted. It's been sent to your e-mail."

Sinking into the sofa, Leon opened his laptop and sure enough, the video was in his inbox. He glanced at the sleeping woman in bed and, worried the noise would wake her up, plugged in earphones before playing the video.

When he clicked the play button, Michelle's cute face appeared in the center of the screen. This Michelle was even more innocent-looking, traces of baby fat still lingering on her face. After all, this video was taken three years ago.

The host started speaking.

"We're done talking about the competition, now let's talk about something else."

"Okay, but please hurry," Michelle answered. "I need to call my brother and tell him the good news!"

"Didn't your brother watch the live broadcast?"

Michelle shook her head. "I asked him to not watch it. I was worried he would think I'm a fierce woman."

"Oh, alright then. Anyway, we've been meaning to ask you something. No one knew you were a girl this whole time because you never exposed your face and voice to the public. Why is that?"

Michelle replied simply, "My brother didn't allow me to."

"Why not?"

"He doesn't allow me to do a lot of things. I wasn't allowed to show my face or voice, and I don't talk to strangers. He says I'd be deceived. I said I wouldn't, but he doesn't believe me."

The host's approach softened. "He is probably just worried about you. He must be a really good brother. The next question is for the single boys out there. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"What?" Michelle was stunned. "No."

"Do you have a crush on anyone?"

With a sweet smile, Michelle nodded her head enthusiastically. "Yes, I do have a crush. I like him very much."

The host chuckled good-naturedly. "I can see that. But does anyone else have a shot at becoming your boyfriend?"

"No," Michelle answered firmly.

"You sound very sure of yourself."

Instead of answering, Michelle just smiled into the camera sweetly. The host decided to ask her another question. "What's your type in a man?"

"I like tall, good-looking guys with long legs. He must be gentle when he smiles and he needs to be very kind to everyone. I also like a pleasant voice. Oh, also, it'd be good if he knows some magic tricks."

The host was a little speechless. "It must be hard to find such a boy."

Michelle tittered. "Yes, it probably is, but I'm lucky to have already met him. He's my brother."

Baffled, the host asked, "The brother who doesn't allow you to show your true self and doesn't allow you to talk to strangers?"
