Chapter 112: Would It Kill You Not to Fib?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ll pull your brain out of your nose and make it sashimi.” Xu Zhengyang’s lips curled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Qi Shenbai came back to his senses and glanced at him. He said indifferently, “Would it kill you not to fib?”
Xu Zhengyang cursed in a low voice, “Qi Shenbai, you bastard!”
He had met Qi Shenbai at the boxing club. He knew better than anyone how strong Qi Shenbai was.
Lin Feng watched as they bickered and found it inexplicably funny. He teased Xu Zhengyang, “Yangyang, that’s enough. Even if you have a good relationship with your sister, she’s still his legally married wife. In the future, she’ll even give you a nephew to play with.”
“Get lost!” Xu Zhengyang glared at him fiercely and said to Qi Shenbai, “He’s talking too much today, and it’s really annoying. Beat him up for me, will ya? Just don’t kill him. 1’11 bear all the consequences, and I’ll forget what happened today. How about that?”
Lin Feng’s smile vanished. Why was he in the crossfire now?
Qi Shenbai frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering it. “Do you mean it?”
Lin Feng was speechless.
Xu Zhengyang smiled. “1 mean every word I say.”
Qi Shenbai put down his wine glass, unbuttoned his shirt, and took off his tie. He stood up and said to Lin Feng, “Do you want to do it here or outdoors?”
He could use a workout, or he probably would not be able to sleep well tonight.
Lin Feng gulped. “Must 1 choose?”
Qi Shenbai did not answer. He glanced at him indifferently, as if asking him silently, “What do you think?”
Lin Feng took a deep breath and resigned himself to his fate. “1’11 make myself clear first — You can’t touch my face. I don’t want to be on the news tomorrow and be nagged at by my old man.”
Xu Zhengyang sat leisurely in the living room, enjoying the wine. From time to time, he would hear painful groans coming from outside. His killing intent subsided significantly.
As expected, his happiness was built on the pain of others.
Xu Jiaojiao went upstairs and changed into ordinary pajamas. After thinking for a long time in her room, she finally resigned herself to fate and went downstairs.
It was rare for her brother and Qi Shenbai’s friend to come over. If she kept hiding in the room and did not go down, it would be too rude.
Xu Jiaojiao went downstairs. When she reached the living room, she did not see Qi Shenbai and the other man. She only saw Xu Zhengyang, so she slowly walked over and tentatively said, “Brother…”
Xu Zhengyang looked up at her pitiful little face and did not mention what happened just now. He just waved at her and said, “Why are you standing there like a fool? Come and sit with me.”
“Okay.” Xu Jiaojiao noticed that he was not as angry as before, so she walked over and sat down beside him.
Xu Zhengyang turned to look at her. “I heard that you caught a cold. How are you feeling now?”
“I’ve recovered a long time ago. It was just a small cold, nothing serious,” Xu Jiaojiao replied with a smile.
“You seem to have lost weight. Did that Qi bastard not even feed you?” Xu Zhengyang had guessed that she would answer this way, so he did not ask further. He reached out and pinched the tip of her small nose.
“Are you sure?” Xu Jiaojiao touched her face. “1 thought 1 gained three pounds. When I had a cold, he forced me to eat every day. He would rather me eat eight meals a day if I could. I felt like a balloon being blown up.”
“You don’t look like you gained weight at all. In fact, you’ll look good even if you are a little fatter!” Xu Zhengyang took a sip of the strong liquor and smiled. “You’re not allowed to lose weight, understand? If you don’t eat properly, 1’11 tie you up and lock you up at home. I’ll have Sis Zhang watch you eat every day, and you won’t be allowed to leave the table until you eat half a pound of food. Do you understand?”
“Got it!” Xu Jiaojiao knew that he was joking, but she still nodded obediently. “I definitely won’t lose weight without my Imperial Brother’s approval. Are you satisfied now?”
“More or less,” Xu Zhengyang answered reluctantly.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and looked around, but she did not see anyone else. “Where’s that person from just now? Who is he?”
“You just want to ask me where Qi Shenbai went!” Xu Zhengyang immediately saw through her little tricks.
Xu Jiaojiao pouted. “Brother!”
Before she could finish her sentence, footsteps came from the door. Xu Jiaojiao immediately turned around and saw Qi Shenbai walking in wearing a thin black shirt.
“Why are you going out so late at night? You’re wearing so little, too. What if you catch a cold?” Xu Jiaojiao stood up to welcome him, her face full of worry.
“I went out to exercise, so I don’t feel cold,” Qi Shenbai replied. Afraid that she would not believe him, he even pressed the surface of his hand against her cheek.
The temperature of his fingertips was much hotter than her cheeks.
“Ahem…” Xu Zhengyang glanced at them from the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with warning.
Qi Shenbai retracted his hand naturally. Behind him, the other man gritted his teeth. “Xu Zhengyang, you useless dog.. Hurry and help me up!”
