Chapter 59: Wrath and Bewilderment

  Should I clearly tell Xiaowei about the relationship between me and Wu Yijie? Of course not, because then the show of brother-in-law and sister-in-law can't go on, and Xiaowei might move away.

  "Ah, friend relationship, yeah, also colleagues. Don't think wildly with your little brain, I don't have any special relationship with her."

  "Nonsense! Don't you dare deny it?! I'm telling you, I heard everything that went on between you and her in the private room. You'd better confess the truth! My policy is leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!"

  "What did you hear?" Zhong Xiaofei asked in feigned surprise.

  "Hmmph! " Little Wei glared with her eyes, but couldn't say anything.

  "You must have heard it wrong. Fine, I won't say anything else. I'm going to sleep..." Having made up her mind, no matter how much she was questioned, Zhong Xiaofei had no intention of revealing the truth.

  "Don't think, don't think I don't know you like Yijie sister, humph, you and her are flirting with each other, who in the company doesn't know? Do you think I'm a fool?" Little Wei's eyes were wide with anger.

  "What's going on between me and her?" Zhong Xiaofei retorted.

  "Not only did they exchange flirtatious glances, but they even hugged each other! Hmph, if you don't admit it, you won't be able to sleep tonight!" Xiaowei said, throwing the comb in her hand with a huff.

  Zhong Xiaofei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he knew that Xiao Wei was far from finished.

  " Humph, you're just a big pervert! Last night I kept an eye on the way you were looking at Jie Jie, it was practically lecherous, drooling all over the place. And then you had to go and get cozy with her in the private room, don't think that just because I'm young I don't understand what's going on. If I hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have happened? Hey, are you listening? Say something!"

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't say anything and pretended to sleep.

  Xiao Wei let out a cold laugh and suddenly pounced on him, raising her small fist to wildly punch at Zhong Xiao Fei's body. At first, Zhong Xiao Fei endured it, pretending to be asleep, but Xiao Wei's small fists pounded against his body, making him feel both numb and itchy, as if she was scratching an itch for him, making him unable to bear it. "Haha..." Zhong Xiao Fei closed his eyes and laughed loudly, raising his arm to pretend to defend himself.

  Xiao Wei got even angrier, "You're still smiling!" She punched and kicked with even greater force, but unfortunately her small fists didn't have any real power.

  Zhong Xiaofei laughed even harder.

  Suddenly, Xiaowei's fist landed on his right shoulder, and Zhong Xiaofei suddenly felt a sharp pain, unable to bear it and cried out in agony. He thought to himself, how can it be so painful? Has my delicate little sister-in-law been practicing iron sand palm?

  "Hmph, now you know how formidable I am?" Xiaowei glared with her eyes, looking like she wouldn't rest until she achieved her goal.

  "Ouch..."

  Zhong Xiaofei covered his right shoulder and found that the pain in his right shoulder was getting more and more severe, so painful that he was gritting his teeth. He wasn't pretending, it really hurt a lot.

  Xiao Wei felt something was off and stopped punching with her fists. "Brother-in-law, what's wrong? Let me take a look."

  Grabbed Zhong Xiaofei's arm and checked his shoulder.

  Zhong Xiaofei was sleeping with his upper body covered, and Xiao Wei could see his back as soon as she lowered her head. Then she let out a series of exclamations: "Ah, brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did you get into a fight with someone? You're all swollen!"

  It wasn't until then that Xiaofei realized that not only his right shoulder but also his left calf was in great pain, with bruises and swellings all over.

  These are the aftereffects of last night's fight. Although he and Nan Ge beat up those thugs from Pan Haisheng's side without getting hurt, in the chaos, their limbs were still bound to suffer some impact. At the time, they didn't feel anything, but after sleeping for a night, the pain is starting to set in now.

  Xiao Wei was a bit flustered and didn't have time to ask about Zhong Xiaofei and Wu Yijie's affairs, jumping off the sofa, "I'll go call a doctor, buy medicine..."

  "I'm fine." Zhong Xiaofei grasped her small hand, comforting, "It's just a fall, don't worry, I'll be better after a nap."

  "Are you okay? Your leg is all swollen..." Little Wei's voice was trembling with a hint of tears.

  Although her shoulders were still aching, Xiao Wei's sincere and pure concern made Zhong Xiaofei feel warmth and emotion in his heart. For many years, no one had shown such concern for him. Seeing Xiao Wei's red eyes and flustered appearance, he quickly comforted her: "Really, it's nothing, Brother-in-law just fell down."

  "Really?" Little Wei calmed down and saw that Zhong Xiaofei was indeed fine, which made her feel a bit more at ease. However, she still looked at Zhong Xiaofei with suspicion, "Where did you fall? It looks like it was quite severe."

  "At the entrance of the bar, oh no, the steps are too high, and I accidentally fell down."

  "Don't worry about it." Little Wei believed him and her expression relaxed, finally no longer tense.

  Zhong Xiaofei looked at her and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "What's so funny?" Little Wei said with a pout.

  "It's nothing, Xiaowei, you know? As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of any setbacks or injuries, no matter how big or severe." Zhong Xiaofei said, looking at Xiaowei.

  "Why?" Little Wei's small face turned a bit red, and she blinked her big eyes.

  "Because... in my heart, you are the most beautiful and lovely girl in this world. As long as you're by my side, caring for me and asking about me every day, I'm not afraid of anything! If one day you leave me, I don't know how I'll go on... I think, I will definitely be heartbroken..."

  Zhong Xiaofei's voice was low and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wei's face, every sentence, every word was his true feelings. He really didn't deceive Xiao Wei, everything he said was true. If Xiao Wei wanted to leave, he would be really heartbroken.

  Xiao Wei's face turned red, all the way to her neck. She lowered her head, her slender body trembling slightly. Then she jumped up, picked up the comb from the table, and continued to comb her hair, sneaking glances at Zhong Xiaofei while her entire face was a deep pink color, looking like she was about to drip with sweetness.

  Zhong Xiaofei stared foolishly.

  The atmosphere is very subtle.

  "Hmm, you're fooling me again..." Ten seconds later, Xiao Wei was clearly flustered, she forcefully combed her hair twice, glancing at Zhong Xiaofei, "Then what's going on between you and Yijie?"

  "……" Zhong Xiaofei was speechless, he didn't know how to tell Xiao Wei, Wu Yijie and Xiao Wei were both women he couldn't afford to lose. Faced with Xiao Wei's questioning, he could only remain silent and deny it, if he admitted it would mean losing one of the two people.

  "Aren't you very fond of her, can't bear to part with her?" Little Wei bit her red lips, staring at Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei remained silent.

  "Hmph!" Little Wei stood up and walked towards the bathroom, saying as she went, "I get it, no matter how good I am, I'm not as good as her... Don't let me see you with her again... Otherwise, there will be severe consequences!"

  Although Xiao Wei was jealous of Wu Yujie, Zhong Xiaofei could sense that she didn't harbor any hatred towards her.

  This is a good omen.

  Xiao Wei finished washing up and prepared breakfast for Zhong Xiaofei before leaving for work.

  Zhong Xiaofei lay on the sofa, drowsily making up for lost sleep, with Xiao Wei and Wu Yijie's images constantly floating in his mind. He couldn't sleep soundly all morning, and after lunch, he went to work at the company early.
