Xiong Jingfei nodded her head at Lu Weisheng before heading off to the kitchen. Leaving both of them alone in the living room again.
Yang Zheyan watched her walk away without taking his eyes off her. There was something off about her… Did something happen while she was out?
He peered over to Lu Weisheng, who was watching Xiong Jingfei too. Who does he think he's looking at? He kicked the coffee table leg to grab Lu Weisheng's attention, "You can go back to 'your' house now."
"House? You dared mention house to me!" Lu Weisheng hissed, on the verge of ripping out his hair. "The last place I want to be at is my house… My brother warned me that the last time he helped me was the 'LAST' time! If I had another scandal… He would…"
Just the thought of what Lu Weisheng's older brother would do to him was frightening enough.
Xiong Jingfei walked back into the living in time to hear the word 'scandal.' The famous Lu Weisheng and the word scandal always went hands in hands. Why was it causing Lu Weisheng to be panicking this badly?
All the entertainment gossip she knows about him came from Xu Suying. She was really interested in celebrities and their life. Even Wu Yuan was not an exception to her, and that's how Xiong Jingfei came to learn of him too.
Lights immediately went off inside Lu Weisheng's head! As scared as he was of Xiong Jingfei, she was also the one trump card to win Yang Zheyan over. He was willing to take this gamble!
"Sister-in-law~!" Lu Weisheng coquettishly said, grabbing the trays with refreshments on it. "You didn't need to do this much for me. Let me do this for you."
Xiong Jingfei let Lu Weisheng take the tray. It wasn't like she wanted to really get them drinks. She wanted to go upstairs and take a short nap, but right now, she was playing the role of a good wife.
Yang Zheyan's eyes darkened at seeing Lu Weisheng immediately changing his target. A small smirk appeared, "Darling~, sit down."
He pulled Xiong Jingfei to sit down next to him and wrapped his right arm around her waist. Yang Zheyan stroked Xiong Jingfei's right cheek with his hand, "Do you want to go rest? You look a little pale."
Xiong Jingfei was surprised Yang Zheyan noticed it. She made sure to make herself look normal before walking into the house. Even Feng Huan and Xu Suying couldn't tell in the past whenever she had a hard time at home.
She couldn't help but feel the warmth and care Yang Zheyan was giving her. Whether it was fake or not, she still smiled at him and shook her head.
That smile of hers was tugging at Yang Zheyan's heart. He put both his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. This was also the only skinship he got from her ever since he stayed home more often.
During the times that he's been home, she has been avoiding him after that night in the kitchen. Also, there wasn't any opportunity or legitimate reason to actually have skinship contacts. If he did it out of the blue, she might just slap the contract across his face about "no skinship" unless in the presence of others.
"Ahem! Hello, am I dead to the both of you?" Lu Weisheng cleared his throat, unable to mentally prepare himself for this version of Yang Zheyan. He was openly showing off his affection with no regard that someone was still here with them!
Colors returned to Xiong Jingfei's face as she pulled herself away from Yang Zheyan.
It was also making Yang Zheyan rethink about Lu Weisheng's stay. Hmm, perhaps having Lu Weisheng living here with them wouldn't be such a bad idea?
Yang Zheyan leaned back and crossed his arms, "I'll let Feifei decide on this issue."
Me? Xiong Jingfei raised an eyebrow at Yang Zheyan. What do Lu Weisheng's problems have anything to do with her?
"Sister-in-law~, please help me! I am truly innocent this time!" Lu Weisheng sat on the couch next to them. He poured the refreshment into the empty glass cup and handed it over to Xiong Jingfei.
This time? Xiong Jingfei didn't accept the drink from Lu Weisheng. Taking it would mean she agreed to help him, and she wasn't going to do it unless she knows it's something she can solve. There has to be a reason why Yang Zheyan is letting it be her decision to help Lu Weisheng or not.
She followed Yang Zheyan's actions by crossing her arms and tilted her head.
Lu Weisheng put down the drink, he knew it! Xiong Jingfei was the key to helping him, but why are her actions just like the devil! Maybe he only imagined it... He can't even deal with the original devil, what would he do if there is a second one?
Xiong Jingfei grabbed her tablet and wrote, 'What can I help you with?'
"Darling~, if you're tired. I can just kick him out." Yang Zheyan leaned over, whispering it but loud enough that Lu Weisheng heard it too.
Lu Weisheng glared at him, "I'm asking sister-in-law, not you!"
Yang Zheyan didn't rebuke Lu Weisheng because he was liking the way Lu Weisheng was addressing Xiong Jingfei. Except, there was something about how Lu Weisheng was saying it that's irritating him.
'No, let's hear him out.' Xiong Jingfei smiled at Lu Weisheng, the kind of smile that can make anyone open up about their problems.
"You haven't seen it?" Lu Weisheng was shocked that Xiong Jingfei has not seen it yet. It was the hottest and latest trend being searched at this time. "How can you not when it's your worst enemy..."
My worst enemy… Xiong Jingfei urged Lu Weisheng to keep talking. She has quite a few of them, so she wasn't sure which one he was referring to.
Now, she was interested in his problem.
