Chapter 1144 Ran Away
The door that they both were expecting to open was still closed. It was the door of Xiang Wai's room that opened and the person who appeared was Zhai Yanjun. Xiang Wai took a step away from her brother while Xiang Weimin narrowed his eyes dangerously at Zhai Yanjun.
"What are you doing in my sister's room?" asked Xiang Weimin
Zhai Yanjun cleared his throat and called out, "Weimin Ge!"
"I asked you what are you doing in my sister's room?" Xiang Weimin repeated himself. Xiang Wai opened her mouth to say something but Xiang Wai held up his hand to stop her. "You stay quiet. Just because you're an adult, I gave you enough freedom in life. Where did it lead you? Do I need to remind you how many times you came to look for me crying?"
Xiang Wai lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her brother.
"Weimin Ge," started Zhai Yanjun. "You can calm down. We both have changed and matured."
"I highly doubt that," said Xiang Weimin.
Zhai Yanjun rubbed his nose, "Don't worry. Nothing happened last night. We are taking it very slowly. It's just that Wai and I ended up sleeping while chatting last night. But we were just chatting. I promise." He never felt like this as he was feeling right now standing in front of Xiang Weimin. Even though he had known Xiang Weimin all his life. Even when the relationship between him and Wai was considered casual and secret, he never faced her as he was doing right now.
For the first time, Zhai Yanjun felt like he should be more respectful to his brother-in-law and should stop being cheeky. No matter how close he was to Xiang Weimin when it came to choosing, Xiang Weimin would choose Xiang Wai without a doubt. After all, she was his sister.
Last time, after breaking Xiang Wai's heart, he only survived because, at that time, they were both in the wrong. And that's why Xiang Weimin didn't go out of his way to hold him accountable. But that didn't mean he didn't take chances to punch Zhai Yanjun over the years. Only now did Zhai Yanjun realize that those punches were for making Xiang Wai cry.
He should be careful with this insidious brother-in-law.
Xiang Wai also nodded when Xiang Weimin looked at her, "Really. We were just chatting." Taking a pause, she added, "Besides, we are an official couple now. Everyone knows we are dating. No one would say anything even if something happened naturally last night."
"You try and I'll show you how naturally you'll get beaten too."
Xiang Wai flinched, "Ge, you don't love me anymore."
"I'm done loving you." Then he pointed at Zhai Yanjun, "And didn't you find someone else to love you now?"
Xiang Wai poked Xiang Weimin's arm, "How is that the same? You are my brother. How can Yanjun compare to you? No way. Not possible."
"Not possible at all, brother-in-law," agreed Zhai Yanjun.
"You better not step out of your boundaries. Who is your brother-in-law? Did I allow you to call me that?"
Zhai Yanjun felt like he should stay silent because he felt like he was standing in front of a cannon right now. Xiang Weimin was certainly in the mood for a fight and if he really ticked him off, he might get beaten up as well.
Xiang Weimin stared at him again and asked, "Did you know?"
"What?" asked Zhai Yanjun in confusion.
"About my son."
"Uhh..." Xiang Wai was trying to gesture Zhai Yanjun to not speak but Zhai Yanjun was under a lot of pressure right now. How could he dare hide anything in front of Xiang Weimin so he ended up nodding, "I knew."
Xiang Wai closed her eyes and facepalmed herself.
Xiang Weimin turned to her, "You told him?"
"Ge, listen to me!"
Xiang Weimin humphed and looked away.
"Why is it so lively here so early in the morning?"
The three of them stopped and looked towards Raelle who was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She had been standing here for five minutes but surprisingly, the three of them didn't even notice.
So, she had to speak up. She didn't want to. The scene looked quite entertaining but she still spoke up.
"Raelle, you're up!" said Xiang Wai.
"I have been up for a while now," answered Raelle and that was the truth. Just because she didn't go for a run didn't mean she was sleeping. Yes, she lazed around and teased her husband on the bed for an hour or so, but she definitely wasn't sleeping. She got dressed on her usual time and was ready to go down for breakfast.
Shui Xian suggested that they should eat in the room, but she told him to go down to have breakfast with everyone since she already learned that no one left the hotel last night. So, wasn't it good to have breakfast with the whole family?
But who knew once she'd opened the door, she'd get to see these three people outside her door.
"All of you seem to be having quite some fun this early," said Raelle. "I shouldn't disturb you all."
"No!" came the voice of Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun who both didn't want to stay with Xiang Weimin right now. It was dangerous to do so. The person who could calm down Xiang Weimin and distract him from the current topic was Raelle so they both looked at Raelle with a pleading look.
"Not having fun?" asked Raelle.
Xiang Wai looked at her brother before laughing awkwardly, "Fun. How can it not be fun to spend time with my lovely Ge? But Ge is looking for you. He has something to talk to you about. So, Yanjun and I'll take our leave now!" She slid to Zhai Yanjun's side and whispered, "Run! Are you waiting for Ge to beat us both?"
Zhai Yanjun reacted and with Xiang Wai, he ran away.
