Chapter 1147 Stinky Temper
When Shui Xian appeared at the restaurant alone, he heard someone's annoying voice behind him, "Oh, what happened, Xian? Did you get abandoned the next day of your engagement? I knew it! How could anyone handle your stinky temper?"
Shui Xian turned to face his ex-best friend and smiled which didn't look like a smile at all. He wanted to smack Cui Xukun's face right now. That gloating look was too irritating.
"Are you talking about yourself?" asked Shui Xian. "My temper is still very likable. I wonder how Cloe is able to bear with yours."
"Why don't you try asking her?" suggested Cui Xukun as he hugged the waist of Cloe who appeared beside him. "Babes, you tell him. Am I good?"
Cloe looked at her boyfriend and then at her boss' husband. She almost rolled her eyes at these two. It wasn't the first time she was facing this situation. She couldn't understand why these two loved to poke each other so much. Maybe it was because of their old friendship but they were both stubborn enough to not acknowledge this friendship anymore.
She felt a headache coming on once she faced them and didn't want to deal with them or even be a part of their argument. So, she chose to avoid answering. "Xian, where is Chief?" she asked Shui Xian.
"Her brother had something to say to her," answered Shui Xian in a bad mood.
Cui Xukun laughed out loud, "Tsk. Tsk. Master Xian is being bullied by his own brother-in-law. Poor you!"
Shui Xian gave him a look, "Are you itching for a beating?"
Cui Xukun made a face at him but before he could say anything, his back was smacked so hard that he almost fell down. He had to hold the table to maintain his balance and looked behind him. Seeing his own brother-in-law, his lips twitched.
"Sister, your husband just hit me!"
Cui Xuqing held her kids' hands as she walked over to their side. Right when they came, both Sammy and Xena ran to Cloe's side and Cui Xuqing was free enough to listen to her brother's complain. Then she looked at her husband and shrugged, "So? Weren't you gloating that Xiao Xian is being bullied by his brother-in-law? Soren is just reminding you that Cloe isn't alone."
Cui Xukun gaped at his sister who loved him like her own kid. She suddenly abandoned him. He didn't even feel this way when his sister first fell in love with Soren. Why was this happening now? Was he losing his position in his sister's heart?
"Sister!"
"Don't look for me. I can't help you."
"It's still the admirable sister Qing whom I like the most in the Cui family," said Shui Xian feeling very happy with the turns of the event. Yes, he was very happy to see Cui Xukun's predictement. Who asked this guy to laugh at him first?
Cui Xuqing smiled at Shui Xian, "And it's still Xiao Xian who is sister Qing's favorite. But sister Qing is still very upset with you. I don't care about what happened between you and Kun but how can you not come to see sister Qing?"
Shui Xian rubbed his head, "It's not that I didn't want to. I was just in a daze in the past decade."
"Are you out of it now?"
"Yes."
"Happy?" she asked.
"Very," he replied.
Cui Xuqing's smile deepened, "That's good to know. So, when you have time, come look for me. We'll go play tennis."
"I'm all in!" agreed Shui Xian immediately. He thought that he'd just take this chance to make his wife leave her work and go out to do some outdoor activities too. After all, the only outdoor activity that Raelle had was her morning run.
On the side, Cloe rubbed Xena and Sammy's heads as they hugged her legs on each side. Then she looked at Soren who stood beside her now as if protecting her. She had a complicated look in her eyes as she looked at him right now. She thought about it for a while before she asked, "Are you gonna play the role of my brother now?"
Soren turned to look at her, "Why can't I? You and I have been friends for so long. I don't think there is anything wrong with me playing the role of your brother. You should know, there is still someone to deal with your boyfriend. You are definitely not alone."
Cloe laughed, "Would your wife be okay with you bullying her brother?"
"She's fine," answered Soren. "She isn't that unreasonable. She won't take her brother's side for everything. If she did, wouldn't she have raised a spoiled brat? But as you can see, Xukun is still far from being spoiled." He lowered his voice and added, "In fact, it's right to say that he had been oppressed by his sister and is very scared of her."
Cloe laughed even louder when she heard that. She found the relationship between Cui Xukun and Cui Xuqing quite interesting. One was the elder sister but always played the role of a father and mother because their parents were mostly absent. She did love her brother but that didn't stop her from ordering her brother around.
"Soren," called out Cloe.
"Hm?"
"Thank you for introducing me to this blind date."
Soren shook his head with a smile on his face, "Don't even mention it. I'm more than happy to make you join our family."
"Aunt Cloe, welcome to our family!"
Cloe looked down at Xena and Sammy who said that in surprise. She crouched down in front of them, "Who told you to say that?"
"No one," said Xena. And Sammy added, "It's just that mom said you'll be marrying uncle Kun and then you'll be a part of our family. We'll be able to see you whenever we want just as we can see uncle Kun. So, we are very happy to know that."
Cloe's heart warmed when she heard that and hugged these little ones, "Then I thank you for your warm welcome."
