Chapter 876: Trust

Chapter 876: Trust

In the end, Cui Xukun found his brother-in-law in the kitchen. Soren wore an

apron with his sleeves rolled up, he held a kitchen knife and deftly minced the

piece of meat. He was very focused and didn't seem to notice Cui Xukun.

"Brother-in-law, why are you doing this?" asked Cui Xukun. "Don't you think

you have spoiled my sister way too much? Did you perhaps get the wrong

script? You're supposed to be the domineering CEO. Who stuffed the script of

househusband into your hands?"

Soren only glanced at Cui Xukun and didn't even say anything. Pouring oil into

the pan, he started stir-frying the vegetables.

"Brother-in-law, I'm talking to you," said Cui Xukun.

"Stop complaining and come here," Soren beckoned him over. "Get me some

corn cobs, I'm gonna make soup." He paused and changed his words, "No, you

should make the soup."

"Huh? Me? Why?"

"I'm hoping that your mouth will shut up if you're hands are busy," was Soren's

response. "And by the way, why can't I spoil my wife? You always had her to

spoil you, so what if it's my turn to spoil her?"

Soren really didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach. He

really believed his wife deserved it. Besides, it's not like he cooked daily. He

only did it occasionally.

Cui Xukun also rolled his sleeves and got to work even if he was grumbling. But

he didn't forget to say, "You think she spoiled me? She is so evil. How could she

spoil me?"

"Oh, no wonder you love her so much," said Soren.

Cui Xukun was stumped. He cleared his throat and replied, "She is the only

sister I got. That's why I love her. No other reason."

"You don't sound convincing," replied Soren. "Not even a 4-year-old would

believe you." He shook his head and asked, "So, what happened this time? Why

are you complaining about your sister?"

"She isn't giving me time!"

Soren pursed his lips and looked at Cui Xukun with raised brows, "That should

be my line. Besides, why do you sound like an aggrieved little wife?"

"Brother-in-law!" exclaimed Cui Xukun.

Soren laughed in reply and sighed, "Why do you want her time?"

"I want to introduce her to Cloe," replied Cui Xukun. "Cloe is finally willing to

see my sister. But if my sister continued this streak of 'I'm busy’, what if it

changed Cloe's mind?"

"I don't think she'll change her mind," said Soren certainly. "Cloe isn't that kind

of a person. And stop fretting. Cloe would never say that your sister is putting

on airs. She is also a busy woman. She can relate to Qingging."

"I should say anything to you," said Cui Xukun. "Cloe is your friend and my

sister is your wife. At the end of the day, you'll only find faults in me."

Soren shrugged, "When your sister introduced me to you back then, you also

found quite some faults in me as well. What did you say back then... Oh, right.

‘Jie, your boyfriend is so young. You're sure he is not just passing time with

you? Or maybe he is just finding you interesting because you're a mature

woman?"

Cui Xukun coughed to hide his embarrassment, "Brother-in-law, you can't

blame me for that. It's only right that I won't trust you at our very first

meeting."

"Good thing, I never was looking for your trust," replied Soren. "If I did care

about that, I won't have my beautiful family right now."

"You're making me sound like a jerk," commented Cui Xukun.

"Oh, but the thing is you can really be a jerk sometimes," was Soren's response.

"By the way, do you know anything about Raelle? Is she alright? When is she

discharging?"

"I'm not sure," replied Cui Xukun. "I don't think Xian will let her discharge so

soon."

"Ask Cloe to come to our house over the weekend," said Soren.

"Really?" asked Cui Xukun.

"Yes," answered Soren. "No matter what Qingging will have time over the

weekend for the kids. So, that's the perfect time to meet Cloe as well. You bring

her over."

"Who is coming?"

Soren looked up at his sister and replied casually, "Kun's girlfriend is coming

for lunch on Saturday."

Sora's expression changed slightly before she maintained her smile and looked

at Cui Xukun, "You have a girlfriend?"

"What's with that question?" asked Cui Xukun in return. "You think I can't have

a girlfriend?"

"No, it's just that you've focused on work for years, so 1 thought you might not

be interested in dating." She tried to sound casual as she walked past him to

pour the juice into three glasses. She came down to get something to drink for

her niece and nephew when she heard the last sentence of her brother. Who

knew she'd get a surprise?

"I think you're talking about yourself," said Cui Xukun. "You're the one who

likes to hide in your room and write. You should go out and see the world."

"Aren't I working out now?" retorted Sora. "My book is getting a movie

adaptation. I'm also part of the production."

"So, working in such a dazzling industry, no one caught your eye?"

"Not everyone who looks good is a good person," she retorted.

"Excuses!" commented Cui Xukun. "And if you're so busy, why are you here?"

"We took a short break. The director is my best friend and something happened

in her family."

Cui Xukun leaned over to Soren and whispered, "You should keep an eye on

your sister, she always is hovering around this best friend of hers."

"What are you whispering?” she asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering if you're secretly in love with that best friend of

yours."

"Cui Xukun!"

Cui Xukun touched his ears, "Damn! You're really hell-bent on making my ears

bleed today."

Sora looked at her brother, "Bro, won't you say anything?"

"Kun, stop talking nonsense," said Soren lightly. "And you, Sora, go back to

whatever you're doing."

And in this way, he ended the fight that was about to start. He really didn't

wish to see it at all..
