Chapter 113 - Asshole

"I miss you."

He rubbed his face around Ling Yue's neck and took a deep breath.

"I'm sure you'll leave but you didn't. I'm so glad you're still here."

Ling Yue wrapped her arms around Xi Jian's upper back. "I'm not going anywhere without telling you."

There was a muffled laughter from him. "Who knows." Xi Jian didn't know why he always feels insecure if Ling Yue was far out of his sight. He loosen his arms around her body. "How was your day?" Xi Jian gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Not bad."

"That means it's not good either. Did Zou Ci do something?"

"No ... that's uhm ... does he always watching you?"  

"Well ... sometimes. He is the most trusted person for me like Bai Xu, so I asked him to take care of you. He is a bit talkative. Don't mind his jokes if he did." Xi Jian caught her eyes. "What happened? Why are we suddenly talking about him?"

"Nothing."

How did Ling Yue ask him about how Zou Ci knews they do 'that'? Did he install a hidden camera in here? or her strange sound so loud that it was heard out there?

Xi Jian pressed his lips on Ling Yue's. "Your expression keeps changing, making me even more curious."

Their lips met again, this time a bit longer. Xi Jian's small kiss slowly turned slightly aggressive. Ling Yue's body increasingly melted in his arms but with great difficulty she tried to focus her attention and pull away, making Xi Jian groan unhappily.

"Why? I haven't seen you all day and it frustrates me."

Ling Yue catched her breath. "Have you had dinner?"

"I want to eat you," he hugged her tightly.

"I have not eaten." Ling Yue said quickly. "I'm waiting for you to eat together."

Xi Jian unwillingly distance themselves. Ling Yue needed to eat first so that she had energy for him. He asked the servant to prepare Ling Yue's food and bring it to their room.

Their room.

Xi Jian grinned foolishly. He was cuddling her while waiting for their food to come.

"Mr. Xi, there is someone who wants to meet with Mrs. Xi."

Their two heads turned to the closed door. Someone spoke after knocking twice.

"Who?" Xi Jian frowned.

"Madam's brother, Mr. Ling Feng."

Ling Yue straightened up. There were no calls or messages from Ling Feng for her and he suddenly appeared. Xi Jian patted the crown of her head and stood up.

"Wait here."

Ling Yue stood up and stumbled as she hurriedly grabbed Xi Jian. "I am coming along."

Xi Jian led her back to the chair. He kissed her forehead. "I'll bring him here."

Xi Jian found Ling Feng sitting opposite Zou Ci. They stared at each other while throwing spicy words. Obviously not in a good term.

"I promise to return that punch this time." Zou Ci looked at him annoyed.

Ling Feng snickered. "Can you?"

"Please don't do violence at my house."

Xi Jian sat himself on the head of the sofa.

"Where is she?"

"Upstairs."

Xi Jian blocked him as Ling Feng carried himself away from there. "Where are you going?"

"I want to see my sister."

"Well, then I'll come along." Xi Jian followed him.

"What for? This is a family matter, you are not needed."

Xi Jian clicked his tongue. "I will not allow a man who is not me alone with YueYue."

Ling Feng narrowed. "I'm her brother."

"And you're a man."

"Pftt ..."

Zou Ci couldn't hide his laughter seeing Ling Feng's face folded. Xi Jian didn't care and climbed up the steps first.

Ling Feng looked at Xi Jian's back with a million thoughts. He put his mind aside when he saw Ling Yue smile brightly to greet him.

"Feng Ge!"

"What the--" Ling Feng hurried towards her when Ling Yue walked a little unsteadily.

Ling Feng glared at Xi Jian as if understanding what happened. "Asshole!!"

"This asshole is your brother-in-law now." Xi Jian smirked.

Ling Yue gestured him so as not to argue with her brother. Xi Jian shrugged and waited outside, giving the two of them privacy.  

"What's wrong?" Ling Yue asked him.

"I waited for you to come home all night but you didn't show up either. That's why I came here."

Ling Yue's face turned red. "That's ... sorry ... I didn't know you were waiting for me. You should have called me."

Ling Feng looked annoyed and took a deep breath. He pulled out a small velvet-lined box from under his coat and handed it to Ling Yue.

"This is our deceased mother's gift for you. She left it to me before the accident happened."

Ling Yue stared at a ruby ​​ring that sparkled sweetly in the box. "For me?"

"Hmm ..." Ling Feng sighed. "I should have given that gift on your wedding day but, listen to me Yueyue...and don't be angry ... I couldn't attend when your ceremony was held ..."

Ling Yue opened her eyes wide. "What? Why?" Her marriage ceremony was only three days away.

"I'm sorry ... my mission can't be canceled. My squad spent a lot of time and energy on this mission."

Ling Yue still could not accept Ling Feng's words. He grabbed her hand and stroked her hair.

"I give you my blessing. As long as you are happy. Therefore, even though I was absent, I hope everything will go smoothly. I have already told father and he will accompany you to walk on the altar."

Ling Yue gripped his sleeves. "But I want you to take me. Can't you postpone it?"

"I wish I could ... forgive me."

"But, but..."

"You have to keep me update and sending me a lot of your photo wearing a wedding dress later. Okay?"

Ling Yue's tears trickled down her cheeks.

"Jezz, why are you crying?"

"How can I not cry if my brother not attending my happy day?"

Ling Feng hugged and patted her back slowly.

"Stop crying or I'll cry too." Ling Feng tried to cheer her up. He also really wanted to see his only sister in a wedding gown. He was sure that his sister would be the most beautiful bride in his eyes.

"Sorry..."
