Chapter 29 - Number 1

"See?" Chu Wei was excited. "He is like the prince of every woman's dream."

Ling Yue scrolled through all the articles about Ling Huansheng.

"You say he's number two? Then who is the number one?"

Chu Wei mouth fell open. "Are you serious?" 'are there still M citizens who don't know who is the number one most desired? has this person never watched the news?' "Don't you know the internet? What do you do when online?" Chu Wei criticized.

"Well, read comics, webtoons, novels, watch dramas and so on." Ling Yue replied nonchalantly.

"No wonder!" Chu Wei clicked her tongue.

Ling Yue put her fingers on the keyboard and looked for the person Chu Wei was talking about. Her life was already complicated, why look at complicated things again? It'd be better if Ling Yue comforted herself by reading entertainment.

Ling Yue pressed the enter button and all the pages on her weibo displayed Xi Jian's face.

"WHAATT? Him?" Ling Yue's jaw dropped to the floor. Her finger pressed against the computer screen. Unbelievable!

"Yes, yes, look at him. Oh God, if Ling Huansheng is like a Greek king, he is like a Demon king. His expression is able to freeze all your body cells. His aura is unbearable. His gaze melts all your muscles. Ah ... I wonder how it feel if he smiles too." Chu Wei blinked. "Even though he was named the number one person most wanted, no one dared to approach him. I heard he wasn't like that before. But no one can prove it."

Ling Yue examined all of Xi Jian's photos. There really weren't a single photo where he smiles. His face was stiff or deadpanned. His mouth tightly closed in a straight line. He only nodded slightly when interviewed or greeted.

When did he change like this? Is it really because of what happened last time? Ling Yue suddenly felt her heart squeezed by something invisible.

He once said about the 'secret' Is there something behind that incident? which she didn't aware? Or maybe her brothers prevent her to know?

Ling Yue thought she was a bully object as usual. Except, that's not an ordinary bully. There was no article that mentions Xi Jian was involved in a scandal. That means the news about the incident at that time no one knew, but only people on the spot. Ling Yue wasn't told anything after that, as if everyone had kept their mouths shut. Nobody discussed it even when she was gone. Ling Yue's hand suddenly trembled. If the news at that time leaked, people would talk about it. Her family reputation and the Xi family's would be tainted. It was right for Xi Jian to be so angry when Ling Yue considered it just a joke. It wasn't only about her. Ling Yue might have to investigate more...

"Hey, what's your relationship with Xi Jian and Ling Huansheng?" Chu Wei tilted her head, supported by her left hand. She was not stupid, seeing Ling Yue's reaction, she was sure her colleague had a relationship with the two people. Although it's a bit doubtful whether a woman like her has something to do with them.

Ling Yue glanced at her. Her finger pointed at Xi Jian's photo. "He...is my brother's friend."

"What? How could your brother be friends with Xi Jian?" She gripped Ling Yue's shoulder.

Ling Yue was thinking about how she would react if she knew Ling Huansheng was her younger brother. So the first step, she let go of Chu Wei's grip and stood away.

"And he ..." Ling Yue pointed her chin at another photo. "... stay with me."

Chu Wei frowned. "Sorry? Can you repeat that again?"

Ling Yue held back a threatening grin that appeared on her face. "He lives with me, under one roof. Ling Huansheng is my younger brother."

"Motherfucker! Are you serious?" Chu Wei took a wide step towards her. Ling Yue stepped back, nodded and then a grin came out.

"Damn it! Why didn't you say anything? Shit! Are you from 'that' Ling family? No, no, I must have been dreaming" Chu Wei patted her cheek hard then groaned.

Urg, that must be hurts!
