Chapter 1362 Protect Your Sister

"It seems everyone is curious," muttered Raelle to herself as she went back to her room.

On the other hand, Hyson was the first one to run back home, and behind him, Shui Koshing also came to the Xiang Manor. "Opa, where is Major?" asked Hyson.

Grandfather Xiang put down the tablet that he was using to read the news and also put down his glasses. He looked at the very excited Hyson and raised his brows, "What did she do to make my little prince look so excited?"

"She got engaged without letting a word out," replied Hyson. "Tell me where she is!"

"She did what?" asked Grandfather Xiang shaking his head. "I don't know what you younger generation are up to. I can't even keep up with you all. She came back and went to her room to change clothes. She'd be down in a minute. Just wait here."

Hyson tapped his foot on the floor repeatedly as he was very impatient right now. He wanted to go and knock on Xiang Wai's door but he held himself back. "Why is she taking so long?"

"Fai, you are too curious for your own good. Be patient," said Shui Koshing. "Anyway, where is your mother?"

Hyson looked at Shui Koshing, "You don't know where she is?"

"I should know?" asked Shui Koshing.

"Take a wild guess, Uncle. I'm pretty sure it'll hit the mark."

"That means she went out with your dad. Don't they do that too much these days?" asked Shui Koshing. "They go out every single day. It's not like they are young anymore. Why do they have so many things to do together."

"How would I know?" retorted Hyson. "Anyway, I'm not interested in knowing either. Mum is an adult, she has her own life, her own ideas, and she knows what's right and wrong for her. I can't control her. I couldn't do it before, can't do it even more now. If I could really control anything, I'd have loved to make her give up on the hopeless love of hers."

The question came out of nowhere and in a daze, Xiang Wai pulled out the ring from around her neck and said, "Here!"

"You proposed, I heard."

Xiang Wai paused and then looked at Shui Koshing and then at her grandfather who were also looking back at her attentively and eagerly waiting for her response. Clearing her throat, she responded, "Yeah, I did."

"So where is the grand proposal you promised that I'd witness and stopped me from going back to work? I clearly stayed because you said I'd be a part of it!"

Xiang Wai bit her tongue sheepishly, "Hehe... Little brother, hear me out!"

"I don't want to! You lied."

"I didn't!" said Xiang Wai.

"Then you didn't keep your words. Isn't that similar to lying? No, it's even worse!"

Xiang Wai rubbed her forehead, "Would you let me speak?"

"What more do you have to say, dear sister?"

"I didn't think you'd call me sister but this is clearly not a good moment to focus on this," muttered Xiang Wai. "Let me explain myself first. I have a very good reason for what happened. If you just give me a chance. You'd understand me."

"You sound like you're making excuses," said Hyson seriously.

"You of all people should know that no one in our family knows how to make excuses. We always have a reason behind whatever we do. You can't just condemn me without knowing the whole truth. Right now, you are my little brother. Stand on my side and listen to me. You're supposed to protect your sister. That's what brothers are for."

"You're getting too sentimental now, Major!" said Hyson and crossed his arms as he stood in front of looking at her. "Fine. I'm giving you ten minutes to explain yourself. You better have a well and good reason for wasting my days."
