"She was away with her friend today." Yang Zheyan answered, holding himself back from kicking out Lu Weisheng. Why was she showing that kind of expression to someone that's not her husband?
"Friend?" Lu Weisheng said, there is only one friend Xiong Jingfei is known to have.
He immediately thought of the image of Xu Suying underneath those peach blossoms trees. Remembering her face was a jab at his womanizing. Still, at the same time, there was an incredibly warm and uncomfortable feeling he was getting.
Xiong Jingfei narrowed her eyes at the subtle changes on Lu Weisheng's face at the mention of her friend.
Then Lu Weisheng instantly stopped himself from being distracted. He opened his phone and showed Xiong Jingfei the news he was hopping back and forth about.
[Did the famous Lu Weisheng find a new woman?]
[Lu Weisheng and Model Xie broke up?]
[Spotting of the famous second master Lu with a new woman!]
Xiong Jingfei read only three headlines and could guess what the issue was, but why is this considered new gossip? This sort of scandal surrounding Lu Weisheing wasn't something brand new or different.
[Breaking News: The woman is identified!]
Earlier, the picture shown on the three headlines showed Lu Weisheng, but the woman's face was blurred out. Just now, it was posted that they found out the identity of the woman.
Xiong Jingfei could now see why Lu Weisheng mentioned it was her worst enemy, and why Yang Zheyan let it be up to her on how to deal with this. No matter how blurred out the woman's face was, she would always recognize this woman... Zhao Fan.
Then Xiong Jingfei noticed something about the picture that stood out more than Lu Weisheng and Zhao Fan. Her fingers traced the surface of Lu Weisheng's phone screen.
In the background of their picture. It was the jade shop that Xu Cheng took her. Letting her encounter Feng Huan and Zhao Fan.
Lu Weisheng was also there at that time? Xu Suying didn't mention Lu Weisheng to her, so this picture was probably taken later that day.
That was because to Xu Suying, Lu Weisheng was the last thing on her mind. She was more bothered about those voices surrounding her without a physical figure.
She handed the phone back to Lu Weisheng to show him the latest news.
Yang Zheyan was carefully watching the changes in her facial expression. He wanted to see if she recalled anything that day at the mall. She never mentioned it and didn't appear like she remembered it either. Even right now, she didn't have any sort of reaction to it.
"What do you want to do?"
Xiong Jingfei looked up at Yang Zheyan and back at Lu Weisheng. She tapped her chin with her index finger like she was thinking very hard on it.
Should I help you? That was the look she was giving Lu Wiesheng. It wasn't so bad to let him suffer for a bit more, and from the sound of it, he was terrified of his older brother. There must be a consequence waiting for Lu Weisheng if he messed up again, and this was the "messed up."
"Sister-in-law!" Lu Weisheng bellowed. She was definitely using this chance to get back at him for that day. "I was wrong! I shouldn't have lied to you that I was Yang Zheyan."
A smile slipped on Yang Zheyan's face as he watched Xiong Jingfei slowly torment Lu Weisheng.
"You're an angel descended from heaven to help me! You're the most beautiful woman on Earth, no one can compare to you!" Lu Weisheng made sure to not leave his narcissist out, "Please help this handsome man~."
Xiong Jingfei didn't hold herself back from laughing at Lu Weisheng's way of trying to win her over.
"Lu! Weisheng!" Yang Zheyan's back skin-crawling voice emerged, but a smile was still on his face. "Are you asking for help or trying to woo someone else's wife?"
Wife? Xiong Jingfei's cheeks were burning hot even though he was saying it to keep up their act.
Is he not allowed to flatter Xiong Jingfei in order to get her help? Lu Weisheng's eyelids twitched, and the side of his mouth quirked upward. Sister-in-law, I will help you move this relationship forward.
"Can't I do both? She's not your wife yet from what I see." Lu Weisheng held up his hand for Yang Zheyan to see. "I don't see a ring on her finger."
Yang Zheyan's jaw clenched, this Lu Weisheng is really asking to be skinned alive. He looked down at Xiong Jingfei's ringless finger. She indeed needs a ring to keep flies from swarming her.
"Xiong Jingfei, I'm sure that you understand my feelings more than anyone. Having to be forced into an arranged marri-" The rest of that word was swallowed back down Lu Weisheng's throat after meeting the eyes of the devil. He really did it this time!
Xiong Jingfei raised her eyebrows in interest of what Lu Weisheng had to say next. He changed her title from sister-in-law to Xiong Jingfei.
Lu Weisheng clamped his lips together in a grimace. Avoiding Yang Zheyan's eyes, "If you're able to solve this for me, I will owe you a favor."
He began looking for a pen and papers, "Do you want me to write it down? I can do that too!"
Truthfully, Xiong Jingfei actually liked Lu Weisheng's personality outside of his womanizing side. He wears his heart on his sleeve, unlike a certain someone she knows. There was no need for him to write it down. She will take his words for it.
Meanwhile, the person next to Xiong Jingfei was emitting a hint of danger at Lu Weisheng. Unhappy at the bubbly atmosphere between her and the unwelcome guest.
Xiong Jingfei ignored Yang Zheyan. He didn't need to go this far for their lovey-dovey act. She picked up her tablet, 'Will you listen to everything I tell you?'
"Y-yes?" Lu Weisheng unconfidently answered.
His heart skipped a beat at the angelic smile she was giving him. For some reason, it was awfully similar to the way Yang Zheyan smiled when he planned to take down someone… Was he perhaps overthinking it?
It wasn't possible to have two fake angels, right?
