Three days later – Si Mansion

Grandpa Si was not in a good mood while talking to Si Weizhe. His brows were deeply furrowed as he glared at him, "I told you to call your brother!"

"Grandpa, I told you already… eldest brother says he'll come home tonight."

Since Si Weimin's youngest brother arrived, he was constantly nagged by Grandpa Si.Whether it was about getting serious in life or helping with the company, Grandpa Si never disappoint.

"I really don't know what I will do with you and your brother. At least, Weimin can be trusted about the company. But you! You'll send me to my grave! Since you came back, all you did was spent your time in worthless clubbing and partying!"

"Grandpa, I'm still young. I'm only 21. Eldest brother doesn't need me in the company. What will I do? Should I stay here all night and day, and accompany you?" Si Weizhe spoke brazenly.

"You!.."

"Grandpa, you'll age faster if you keep being that grumpy. Tss. Wouldn't it be such a waste of such a handsome face?" Si Weizhe's bootlicking ability activated, he grinned at Grandpa Si as he put his arm on his shoulders,

"See? You're even younger looking than dad. I know I got my good looks from you. Even grandma said that I am your carbon copy."

"Alright… alright."

Seeing that Grandpa Si's mood had changed, he immediately stood and dialed Si Weimin's number. After a few rings, an icy tone could be heard from the other side,

"What?"

"Woaah, easy bro! I just want to tell you that grandpa has been bugging me about you. Say, can you at least drop by tonight?"

"No."

"Can you really take it seeing your youngest brother suffered like this? C'mon, bro!"

"I have other plan tonight."

"Bro, I just pacified grandpa. I'm not sure if I can do it again. I'm really suffering right now."

"You can do it again. Aren't you the one good at bootlicking?"

"…" Si Weizhe was speechless. He couldn't believe that going back to China would mean being bullied by his grandpa and eldest brother.

"Are you really my brother?"

"I really won't mind otherwise."

"How can you treat your brother this way? Even elder brother treats me better. Am I just adopted?"

"I can't tell. Better ask mom and dad."

Si Weizhe almost puked blood. His eldest brother was really a big bully.

"Fine! Don't come home. I will just need to tell who that girl is. I'm sure grandpa will be happy to listen to me." Si Weizhe taunted.

"Go on. Isn't that what I want?"

"Then, should I just invite her home tonight?"

"You brute!.."

"Ha ha ha… See you tonight, bro!"

Si International Corporation

Si Weimin couldn't help but shake his head after talking to his youngest brother. He pressed the intercom and called Wang Guo,

"Alright boss."

After Wang Guo left, Si Weimin messaged Si Weizhe telling him that he would come later.

Si Weizhe had always been playful and childish. As the youngest among the three sons of Si Wei and Jin Ruolan, he grew up pampered and spoiled. His happy go lucky personality made him different from Si Weimin and Si Weiyuan.

Si Weimin didn't really want to go back at Si Mansion since their last encounter about Zhou Bingbing.

However, he knew that he couldn't hide from his grandfather all his life. If worse came to worst, he could just give up Si International Corporation. He didn't care about Grandpa Si's obsession of marrying him with Zhou Bingbing.

Si Weimin lay back on his chair. His eyes closed. Nothing could stop him from being with Xu Jia Li. Thinking about her, he stared at her picture on his table.

He suddenly recalled the night they had a duet. It was one of the best nights in his life.

After having a couple more drinks, they decided to go home. He insisted on sending Xu Jia Li home while the three women gladly obliged as they left Xu Jia Li with him.

He could still feel the touch of her soft hand as he held it to his. His heart was filled with joy especially when Xu Jia Li held his hand tight.

They didn't even talk but both of their hearts had mutual understanding. The atmosphere inside his car became so warm… being with Xu Jia Li was always paradise. Nothing could compare to the happiness he felt with her.

After he walked her back on her apartment, all he wanted was to kiss her but he didn't want to scare her off so he just pecked her on the forehead before he left.

He was still in cloud nine as he reached his home. So when he received a video from Zhen Nian, he watched it repeatedly all night until his phone exhausted its battery. Only after charging his phone did he sleep.

It had been three days since he last saw her. He had been quite busy since he left for Dongguan in a hurry the next day. Amanda Kane called Wang Guo telling him that there would be a delay in the production and they had to be there for the product testing. Since it was the new skin care line of Si Cosmetics, he had no choice but to go.

He was only back this morning but he went straight to the company. He hadn't had much sleep since there were a lot of things to settle in Dongguan. What made him in good mood was watching Xu Jia Li's video and their duet on his phone.

He would also send her messages or call her every now and then. He never let the day passed that he didn't message. Hearing her voice was medicine to his tired soul.

Feeling the urge to see Xu Jia Li, he immediately dialed her number. When she picked up, he requested a video call. Since it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he knew that he could call her.

The moment Xu Jia Li accepted the video call request, her beautiful face flashed on the screen. Her bare face was glowing under the rays of the sun. It seemed like she was standing near her window.

"Hey, Mr. Arrogant Si!"Xu Jia Li grinned after she spoke.

"When did I have such nickname?" Si Weimin couldn't help but smile after hearing the nickname she gave him.

"Mmm, let me think… oh! Yeah, since day one." Xu Jia Li laughed out loud.

"I'm counting all your offenses towards me. I'm afraid you'll be indebted for life."

He saw Xu Jia Li walked to her bed, she sat before she answered, "I'm trembling with fear!"

"Ms. Xu is so brave and gutsy today… shall I go there and make you pay your debts?" Si Weimin grinned before he continued, "Or maybe, you're really looking forward to that kiss."

"Say, Mr. Arrogant Si, how shameless you are for always saying that?" Xu Jia Li rolled her eyes.

"Aren't I always this shameless? C'mon, Ms. Vicious- Tongue Xu, I won't really mind if you say yes."

"You!"

"HA HAHA! I miss seeing that reaction of you."

"Pft! You're just so good at bullying me."

"Okay. Don't sulk. You can take your pent-up anger when you see me."

"I'll sure do! Hmph! Bye, Mr. Arrogant Si!"

Si Weimin still had smile on his face after the call ended.

"I miss you, my love."
