Chapter 270: Happened To Pass By

The mention of Su Muxuan as Shen Xi’s brother gave Fu Qingxuan the urge to beat him up. What kind of evil and heartless brother would do this to his own sister!

No wonder Qingye said Shen Xi was a poor soul.

Was this the kind of lowlife and animal the meanie faced while living with the Su family?

“Let’s go.” Shen Xi pulled Fu Qingxuan aside and completely ignored Su Muxuan.

“We’re not leaving yet.” Fu Qingxuan looked down on Su Muxuan. “He hasn’t apologized to you.”

Shen Xi replied, “I don’t give a sh*t.”

Fu Qingxuan was stubborn. “I do and I want him to apologize.”

Shen Xi threatened Su Muxuan with her stare.

Su Muxuan felt chills down his spine. He cut his losses and unwillingly hissed the word. “Sorry.”

A real man took the rough with the smooth.

He might have apologized, but that did not mean he admitted defeat.

Fu Qingxuan was finally pleased.

Pulling him away, Shen Xi asked him with her head tilted to the side. “Why are you here? Did you specifically come to pick me up?”

Fu Qingxuan could not stand to see her supposed brother’s face another second longer. He slapped away her hand in disdain. “Quit touching. I don’t have the time to pick you up. I just happened to pass by.”

Su Muxuan let out a taunting smirk but resentfully clenched his fist as he listened to their conversation. “I was doing you a favor by giving you the advice. You’ll only regret it if you stay with her.”

The pretty face was bewitched. Su Muxuan noticed Fu Qingxuan’s car parked across the Huo residence since evening.

Fu Qingxuan glanced at him in contempt. “It has nothing to do with you whether I regret it or not. Worry about yourself, Young Master Su.”

Su Muxuan froze while his heart skipped a beat. “Who are you?”

How did he know his last name?

Looking virtuous, Fu Qingxuan had a commanding presence to him. “You’re unworthy to know.”

For a moment, Su Muxuan was hyperventilating in the man’s presence. They were already in a distance by the time he snapped out of it.

Feeling concerned, the Huo family’s butler asked a simple question. “Ms. Shen, do you know this man?”

Shen Xi did not have a chance to speak.

Fu Qingxuan interrupted. “I’m her older brother.”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes. “And I’m his older sister!”

Older brother, her *ss. Not only did he look young, but he was also immature beyond words. A stinky young brother was more like it.

Watching their receding figure, Su Muxuan slowly got up. His eyes reflected insidiousness.

The evil brat. Did Shen Xi really want to take his life?

Su Muxuan had no doubt. Had she applied more force, his leg would be gone.

Brother?

Just how many brothers did she have?

Fu Qingye was her brother.

The pretty face was also her brother.

Su Muxuan was sure the shameless thing also had Pei Xu and Yu Qiubai as her brothers too!

The butler walked Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan to their car before turning to Su Muxuan. “Young Master Su, it’s getting late. You should head home and stop coming over. The old master said he won’t meet with you or agree to your proposal.”

Su Muxuan nodded and pointed in the direction of the car. He asked the butler, “What did Shen Xi come for?”

The butler retorted, “Ms. Shen is here to learn from the old master.”

He heard it clearly that Young Master Su said that Ms. Shen was his sister.

However, they looked like enemies judging by the attitude they gave each other. It was unlike how siblings would behave.

The noble-looking young master acted more like siblings with Ms. Shen.

“Learn what?” Su Muxuan probed.

“Bian Embroidery.” There was no reason for the butler to hide that fact since there were at least dozens of people who came every year to learn from the old master.

“Thank you.” Su Muxuan got the gist and turned to the old man. “I should get going. Tell the old master that I will return for a visit tomorrow.”

He could relax since Shen Xi was only here to learn about Bian Embroidery. She was a designer after all, so it was not strange at all for her to apply the embroidery skill to her clothes. It was no surprise for Shen Xi to seek knowledge from Old Master Huo as her teacher was Jiang Yin.

Old Master Huo was nice and a gentleman of high standing. Apart from Kesi that was only passed down in the family, the old master would share his extensive experience on other needlework techniques with those who were interested to learn.

Su Muxuan could not care less what Shen Xi wanted to learn as long as it was not Kesi.

…

It was sunny today and by night, the stars were visible in the sky.

Fu Qingxuan and Shen Xi got out of the car one after the other.

As Shen Xi made her way to the bedroom, Fu Qingxuan pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Have you eaten?”

Without looking back, Shen Xi hummed an affirmative answer. She was tired after a day’s work and the only thing on her mind was to take a shower and go to bed.

Fu Qingxuan frustratedly kicked the door frame as she went into her bedroom.

He must be out of his mind. What did it have to do with him whether she had her dinner? Why must he ask her?”

Shen Xi went to the kitchen for a cup of water after her shower.

Fu Qingxuan was seen sulkily throwing all the food together with the plates into the trash bin. Everything was an eyesore.

The mean girl never even asked if he had eaten, not even the least bit concerned about him.

Shen Xi entered the kitchen to see him tossing away all the delicious food on the table. Feeling odd about it, she asked, “Young Master, what are you doing?”

Fu Qingxuan scoffed through his nose. He wanted to be mean to her, but his anger vanished into thin air the moment he laid eyes on her.

The girl wore a fluffy panda pajama with a hood. The hood came with two adorable panda ears, flopping about as she moved around. She was adorable.

His eyes lit up and his voice softened. Still, he played it tough and gave her the tone. “Can’t you see?”

Shen Xi drew close and picked up a piece of chicken with her hands to eat before smiling happily. “Tender and succulent. It’s still hot and delicious. Why do you make so much food when you can’t finish it? What a waste.”

Fu Qingxuan glared at her aggrievedly, thinking to himself that he made it for her. What a heartless meanie.

He spent the whole afternoon preparing the feast. Yet, she did not even take one look when she came home.

Nevertheless, he was not going to get one up on her since she looked adorable today.

“Hadn’t you had your dinner?” Shen Xi helped herself to a seat before turning to him. “It’s a waste to throw away good food. I’m eating it.”

“Why are you eating the food?” Fu Qingxuan lashed out at her but extended his arm to put a plate of honey chicken in front of her. He gave her a look of disdain. “It’s not for you anyway.”

Shen Xi picked up a piece and took a bite. She put on a serious look to scare him. “Young Master, it’s a huge sin to waste food. When you die, you will be thrown into the hell of mortar where you will be pulverized to a pulp and made into meat buns to be fed to the dogs. You’ll only be a soul then and won’t actually die in this vicious cycle.”
