Chapter 1143 [Bonus chapter] Not My Concern?
Xiang Wai was yawning as she pulled open the door to walk out but seeing her brother standing outside like a statue, she jumped.
"Ge, you scared me!"
"Major Wai is losing her touch," commented Xiang Weimin without looking at her. His eyes were still staring at the door in front of him.
"I'm not losing my touch. It's you, Lieutenant Colonel Weimin who is acting like a ghost early in the morning," she retorted without backing down. Wouldn't she lose her image if people heard that she got scared by her own brother? She refused to accept that! Seeing how he didn't respond and was still intently staring at the other door, Xiang Wai's eyes narrowed. She stared at the room number and had a look of understanding in her eyes. "Ge, how long have you been standing here for?"
"None of your concern," replied Xiang Weimin indifferently.
"How is it, not my concern?" she asked and went over to look at his face. Looking at the think dark circles, he almost looked like the national treasure aka panda! How could she not understand it at all? "Ge, you didn't sleep at all? Are you that eager to talk to Raelle? Last night was her engagement banquet. Just so you know, this couple won't be coming out so soon today."
"Why? Isn't Raelle always on time?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"Tsk. No wonder you're so single," commented Xiang Wai. "Relax. She isn't gonna run anywhere. Why are you so impatient?"
"Oh, I know my sister won't run away. But who can guarantee that my son won't run away?" asked Xiang Weimin seriously.
Xiang Wai paused and thought that what he said actually made sense. If Justin ran away, they couldn't stop it. "So, what are you doing here? Go to his room and wait for him. Once he comes outside, you kidnap him and run away."
"Don't tell anyone you're Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin's sister," said Xiang Weimin. "I'll be embarrassed otherwise."
me. It'll work."
Xiang Weimin put his hand on the side of her head and pushed her away, "Go away. Xiang Wai gave him an angry look, "How can you say that about your sister? I'm helping you here."
"I don't need this kind of help," said Xiang Weimin.
Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at him, "Ge, you didn't understand my meaning. It seems I used the wrong wording. It's like this, you go and once Justin sees you, he'll want to stick to you. Once that happens, it's up to when Tang Hebe can take him back." Xiang Weimin finally settled his eyes on her and she patted her chest confidently, "Believe me. It'll work."
Xiang Weimin put his hand on the side of her head and pushed her away, "Go away. Let me wait for Raelle. Don't disturb me."
Xiang Wai was pushed away and made a face at her brother, "You just don't have any trust in me. That's quite hurtful, Ge!"
"I really don't have any trust," responded Xiang Weimin. "Let's not forget that you also kept me in the dark, even though you knew already that Justin is my son."
"Ge!" Xiang Wai held his arm and shook it trying to act coquettish which by the way, didn't look very convincing but it did amuse Xiang Weimin even though he tried hard to keep a stern expression. "I didn't mean to do that. I was asked not to say anything to you until everything is confirmed. Besides, what if we were wrong and I said anything recklessly to you? Wouldn't you be happy for nothing?"
"Don't make excuses with me," said Xiang Weimin. "You didn't even trust me. You also thought I was a bastard who would sleep with someone and run away after that?"
Xiang Wai scratched her head guiltily at that since she was guilty about this. Even if she believed in her brother, she still had a small doubt in her heart.
"But then Raelle is also guilty," said Xiang Wai. "She didn't tell you anything either. She learned about it almost at the same time as me. But did she come to tell you anything, no!"
"She has no responsibility to tell me anything," responded Xiang Weimin. "I haven't been a brother to her. I only met her this year. How long and strong our bond had been over the years, Wai? When have we ever had secrets between us? Have I ever lied to you? When have I not helped you out of your troubles?"
Xiang Wai looked down and didn't say anything. She was feeling guiltier now because what he said was right. She didn't even think about it. Indeed, Raelle had no responsibility towards both of them. She never got anything from either of them so she wasn't obliged to tell them anything. But the bond between her and Weimin was different. Even if one was sent to his father and the other to her mother after the divorce, there had never been a distance between them.
He was always there for her.
"Okay, I'm sorry. It's my fault," she said in a small voice. "I shouldn't have had the mood to see your joke. I should have told you everything and not kept you in the dark."
Seeing her like this, Xiang Weimin shook his head and rapped on her head, "Stop making that face. Do you want to cry in front of me? Do you think crying suits you? You are ugly enough. Don't make it worse by crying."
Xiang Wai punched his arm, "If I'm ugly, you are also my brother. How much better do you think you can be?"
"Much better than a crybaby like you," he shot back.
"I'm not a crybaby!" she shouted.
Xiang Weimin laughed at her explosion and Xiang Wai's lips also twitched before she smiled along with him.
"Ge, don't be angry with me. Okay? Aren't you my best brother?"
Xiang Weimin rubbed her head, "Who is angry with you? Life would have been easier if I was able to be angry with you."
"Hehe..."
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening was heard and both of them paused but as they looked at the person who came out, both of them had different reactions.
