Chapter 285 - 285 Cold War

My brother then gives him back as good as he gets while flashing an equally warning glare within them. 

But I don't need this, not with two of the most important people in my life become like this. And I know why my brother is cautious, even if he doesn't know much about Feng Teng yet, still I know damn well why Feng Teng feels my brother as a threat. 

Even he's my brother, still, he's a threat. In Feng Teng eyes, anyway.

So I lean up to kiss Feng Teng cheek and feel his hand slide around my h.i.p.s while smoothing over my bum before he rips his eyes away from my brother and turns his face into my lips. 

"Don't take much time," he says, releasing me before striding off towards Grandfather Feng table.

"Gege," I hold my hand out to my brother, and he takes it, letting me lead him out to the gardens.

We're silent for a short while as we wander down the gravel path, past the courts, finding ourselves in the garden.

The shining lamp along the trail through the garden emitted a scattering dash of sparkling little light across the fish pool before us. 

So I focus my attention on tracking as the light dance across the forest floor at my feet. There has never been discomfort between us, but the tension now feels uncomfortable.

Pulling my hand out from my brother and lifting my dress, I step over a large twig and catch my heel, causing me to stagger slightly. 

"Oh!" I scream in shock.

"Wei Wei. Careful," My brother grabs my elbow to stable me. 

"This heel isn't suitable," he quips on a small smile.

I relax immediately. 

"Yes," I laugh, straightening myself out.

"Wei Wei," he trails off.

I give him a look. 

"Just say it, GeGe. Whatever you have been kept and wanted to say since you've met him. And about SiSi too, stop torturing yourself. Okay?" I confirm him.

"Alright then. I don't like him," He spilt.

I recoil a little as my brother barely know Feng Teng yet. 

"Oh," I laugh uncomfortably. 

"I didn't think you'd feel like that," I say.

He shrugs. 

"So what do you want me to say then?" He asked.

"Gege, you're barely knowing him and yet you gave him an inner battled warned," I accuse. 

"Explain about this temper issue, then," he challenges spit.

My eyes widen. 

"What are you talking about?" I don't like the reproachful look on his face, not at all.

"I'm talking about the temper of him that Mo Yuan has seen in front of Deng Tai Residence. He's trampled on the tradition today already shown enough. Even that not on my part. But mom probably too wrapped up as a mother in law duties to see that," He said.

I knew it was too much of a good thing. After his trickery of getting my parents got here, and how he made them fell in love with him too so all the matter in the past wasn't mentioned again. 

My parent has put it down to Mo Yuan as my Ex-boyfriend for being salvage to get back to me. 

As Feng Teng madness and temper, I think I already able to cope up and know how to handle it pretty well after our past quarrelled. Both of us has come to understand each other.

"How about his mother then? Only his grandfather and relative were present here. This is her son big day. Unless…" he accused.

"Ge, I've told you. Feng Teng doesn't speak to her mom even his stepfather,"

I said.

"Right," He laughs. 

"That's convenient. And to think I disliked Mo Yuan," He says.

"Wait, you do I feel like you're back up for Mo Yuan, aren't you?" I snipe nastily.

And I point my finger on his face. Now I feel f**king mad, and I've never been made like this with him. 

"He has fallen out with his mother, so I don't he got to know what family is. Let's not talk about this anymore. You already married to him. If we continue this might eating you up. Let's talk about your best friend," He changed the topic.

Oh. Yes, I've just homed in on the real issue here. So I better not let him ruin my big days with his judgements. 

They're all negative, and I don't want to hear them.

'Who the hell is that Kevin?" His tone only confirming I've hit a nerve.

I might not be thrilled with SiSi life direction at the moment, but I would prefer her carrying on with Kevin, rather than heading for non-guaranteed disaster with my brother. 

If not it would end in tears before and the broken will come again. 

"Sorry with what I'm going to say first Gege. He's good for her," I spit.

Gosh! I can't believe I've just said the truth. I don't even know the extent of it myself, but I have a good idea. 

"You need to leave this exactly where it is," I gather my dress up, ready to make a retreat, but he grabs my arm.

"What if I don't want to?" He asked.

"Stop dreaming! You better get your f**king hands off her already. You already a grown-up man!" I warn him.

Just then familiar growl pulls my head around fast. Feng Teng is standing nearby. His chest is heaving, and he has a murderous look on his face.

"It's fine. We're done," I say, yanking my arm free.

And I need to get Feng Teng away before he tramples all over my brother. And it won't just be a verbal trample.

GeGe steps forward. 

"Hey! She's my sister," My brother yell.

Then Feng Teng closes the gap between them, his eyes all black. 

"She. Is. My. Wife!" Feng Teng roars.

My brother laughs a little, not a good thing, judging by Feng Teng darkening glare. I need to intervene, but stepping between these two angry men is not a good idea. 

In a quick flash, I see Feng Teng fists balling, and I know I need to remove him now.

When I place my hand on his arm and he flinches, too focused on my brother to realise it's me. As soon as he does, though, he breaks the glowering deadlock and turns his eyes to mine. 

They soften immediately.

"That's enough, you too!" I say quietly, sliding my hand down his arm to grasp his.

He nods and turns with me, not giving my brother another look so I'm grateful. 

Like my brother, he's not in a good place, and I know how forceful he can be when he's on the defence. 

Sisi was not trying to, but she's screwing with his head again, and my brother trying to bat it away by focusing his attention on me.

We make our way towards the ballroom and leaving my brother behind. 

"Give me your hand," Feng Teng orders as he reaching down. 

So I let him take it and re-cuff me. 

"Don't you ever dare ask me to release them again," He warns.

"Okay, I won't'," I grumble.

Previously, I wish he'd never released me in the first place, then I might not be seething with my brother obvious issue with SiSi and his inquisitiveness with regards to Feng Teng issue too. 

"Or why don't you just throw away the key?" I ask.

His eyebrows rise. 

"Wanting you'd have stayed nailed to me?" He asked back.

"Yes," I admit. 

"Don't let me free again," I said.

"Okay," he agrees. 

"Would you like to drink?" He asked.

We continue towards the hotel as we both were re-cuffed and re-united. 

"Husband. I'd love a drink," I've hardly touched a drop all day, and I'm a little surprised that he's offered.

"Here," He pulls me in and kisses my forehead. 

"Listen. I won't stand for it even if he is your blood brother." He scoffs.

"Yeah. I know," I agree quietly. 

Plus, I was pleasantly surprised about seeing his self-control. It doesn't matter to him who he going to eliminates, and my brother has not helped his cause. 

Feng Teng just tried to restrain me as the worse thing he could do.

And I don't want my husband and brother come to the cold war, even I know Feng Teng would never back down when it comes to me, and my brother, of course, would never lose face.

Gosh! 

Both of them I love so much.

The evening guests have arrived. 

As we make our way through the table, we're accosted, kissed and wished well with every step we take. 

Oh God, when we finally make it to the table, I'm placed on my chair and handed a glass of water. 

Water? 

I look at the clear glass and back to Feng Teng, who is doing a damn fine job of ignoring my obvious disbelieve. 

Water?

I scowl at him but he ignored it.

Then Nami comes steaming over, looking as wound up just as mom does. 

"Where have you been?" she asks incredulously, flicking her eyes from me to Feng Teng and back again. 

"Just mow both of you were supposed to cut the cake!" She spits.

Feng Teng opens a bottle of water and takes a long swig, not in the least bit perturbed by Nami concern. 

"It's fine." He says.

Nami shakes her head in disbelief and stomps off towards the entrance hall. She may as well leave as it looks like her services are no longer required.

"Hubby. Don't you want to cut the cake with me?" I ask, my wrist being lifted as Feng Teng secures the lid on his water bottle. 

"Do you know SiSi went out of her way to make it on such short notice? I inform him.

He reaches forward and straightens my necklace.

"Then let's not ruin it," he says seriously.

"Grrh…You're impossible," I sigh, glancing across the bar, spotting Kevin and Jun Jie entertaining my dad who's looking a little rosy-cheeked and grandfather Feng.

As my mom is revelling in the attention, undoubtedly offering tours of the grounds with Su Jin Jin and SiSi is looking quite drunk. 

Then I see Fu Heng flaps a limp wrist at me. As Yi Lan gives a girly wave before looking across the bar towards Assistant Yu while smoothing down her hair, and our little girl, Er Xi just looks like she's trying to fit in, although she's still sparkling, her boyfriend isn't here.

I smiling at them and turn my attention back to Feng Teng, and Nami storms back into the backstage.

After a while, Nami came back.

"Okay. I've spoken to Madam Bei," Nami huffs. 

"So you both will cutting the cake and having the first dance shortly, so please don't be disappearing again," She informs and storms off, then I smile. 

Gosh! Nami must be regretting taking this job.

"Are you okay, babe?" His warm palm slides across my cheek.

"Yes, fine." I answer, but I'm not as I've just fallen out with my brother, and that has absolutely never would happened.

"But you don't look fine. I've told you that I wanted you to enjoy over wedding day," He said.

Haha. I inwardly laugh. Then he should let me have a drink and he shouldn't have broached the subject that has my brain the most twisted at the moment. 

"I'm very good," I sigh, taking a long sip of my water.

GOSH! This f.u.c.k.i.n.g water. Why today?
