Chapter 950: Deception

Chapter 950: Deception

"Ge, you're telling me that you figured it all out on your own?" asked Xiang Wai dumbly.

Xiang Weimin wanted to shake his head when she asked it like that. It reminded him that his sister could be a little slow at times to catch up with certain things. She wasn't as detailed oriented as other family members so she often overlooked things.

There was nothing wrong with that. She was normal. That's what most people were like.

The only problem was that she was the only normal one in this family. The rest could be considered freaks for their ability to see through things.

But he couldn't lie to her. That'd be too obvious. "I did figure it out."

Xiang Wai wanted to laugh out loud. Not because it was funny but because she couldn't think of any other reaction at the moment. How was she supposed to react?

"Since when?" she asked further.

"It's been a while," he answered vaguely. Not telling her that he figured it out very early on.

Shui Xian's words were playing in her mind right now when he told her that in this family, everyone could see everything. But they just chose to stay silent.

Thinking of that, she asked, "Ge, do you know that I'm back together with Yanjun?"

Xiang Weimin cleared his throat before he nodded, "I do."

"Of course, you do," she gritted out as she rubbed her temples. She was really oblivious to the ability of her own family members. How could she be living in her own simple world? "Why didn't you ask me anything?"

"It's your decision," replied Xiang Weimin. "Why would I question it? You didn't seem like you wanted to talk about it, so I just didn't bring up the topic. I thought you'd speak whenever you feel comfortable with sharing. I can wait. I'm in no hurry."

"Ge, do you think I look like a fool?" she asked seriously.

Xiang Weimin shook his head, "Why would you even say that? You're so smart. How can you question your ability? You got the fastest promotions to the rank of a Major in the field of Special Forces. You never failed your mission. You have so many medals to prove your ability. Don't just think about this nonsense."

Xiang Wei scratched her head, "How can I not? I know I'm usually very smart at work but why is it that I'm not that smart when it comes to personal relationships? Even Raelle is doing a better job than me."

"Raelle is doing a very difficult job," said Xiang Weimin. "I'm actually glad you're simpler than her. It's easier to talk to you. Do you know how many of my brain cells are at work just to hold a small conversation with her? It's a tiring job."

Xiang Wai chuckled, "She would not like to know that she is tiring to talk to."

Xiang Weimin rubbed her head lovingly, "I think she already knows."

"Right, she must know. She knows more than she lets on," said Xiang Wai. "Ge, what do you think I should do?"

"About what?"

"About this secret," she said. "I didn't want to know it. They say; ignorance is bliss. I can relate to that right now. I was so blissful in ignorance but now that I know, I can't pretend to be in ignorance. It'd be too obvious." She felt like crying now and Xiang Weimin could see that.

And this was the reason he didn't want to tell her about it. The rest of the family was okay with this secret being a secret but the same was not true with Xiang Wai. This girl was good with secrets.

"What do you want to do?" he asked her.

"I don't know," she replied. "If I knew why would I be whining here before you?"

"Wai, you're not a kid," said Xiang Weimin. "You can make your own choices. We all chose to keep this secret, a secret at our own discretion. Not because someone asked us to do so. You also have to make your own choice. I can't tell you what to do."

"Ge, you're not even helping?"

"I understand that this secret is too much to take on for you. And considering that it is also related to your boyfriend, your thinking is different than others. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. It's really up to you entirely."

"This is really not helpful," said Xiang Wai. She stood up, "Go back to your work, I'm leaving. You're not even helping me anyway. No, you go to sleep. Have you seen the time?"

"I'm not sleepy," replied Xiang Weimin. "You go to bed now. Stop thinking so much. Soon, smoke might come out of your brain from overheating."

Xiang Wai threw a cushion at him before saying, "To get some sleep, you should do more exercise." Xiang Weimin frowned at her while she went on, "You know the exercise that can be done on the bed with a partner." She even winked at him earning a scowl from her brother.

"Out!"

Xiang Wai stuck out her tongue and left his room. She wanted to slam the door but her manners didn't allow her to do so. In the end, she closed the door gently.

Going back to her room, she threw herself on the bed and kicked in the air in frustration. She got nothing out of her discussion with her brother. She only got more confused.

He said she had to think about it and make her own choice. But what to do when she couldn't make her choice? Couldn't he tell that this choice was very difficult? Was she supposed to tell Zhai Yanjun everything or not? Telling him will crash his life and not telling will be deceiving him. But there is happiness in deception. Maybe she should choose deception?

She took her phone and saw that she had an unread message from Zhai Yanjun. She clicked it open and it read, 'Sleep well. Have sweet dreams!'

"What the hell! Stop being sweet. I'm already confused!" she screamed into her pillow.
