Chapter 249:c

Xiang Yi felt a headache coming on.

What did that person occupying her body do to her eldest brother…

“He knows you’re back, so you should go explain to him.” Their elder brother’s intellect had always been top-notch. This, Xiang Li was sure of.

Pitifully, Xiang Yi said: “I’m afraid…”

Since she was a child, she had always been scared of their eldest brother.

Xiang Li didn’t respond.

He wasn’t going to admit he was afraid of their eldest brother as well…

Xiang Chen.

The devil himself.

His mouth was stern, and his heart was even more frigid.

The whole family called him —— the man without a heart.

“Big brother, once eldest brother comes back, can you come with me to see him?” Xiang Yi said as she carefully tugged on his shirtsleeve.

“Little sister, you must learn to be brave, got it?” As he spoke words of encouragement, Xiang Li’s pale, slender fingers began to reach for his sister’s fingers…

And pried them off.

Xiang Yi: “…”

A second ago he had been so emotional; now he was as fragile as a piece of plastic.

They were related, that’s for sure.

Xiang Li coughed. “I suggest you take your little uncle with you, he can shoulder most of the heat for you. With him, eldest brother probably won’t flame you.”

Feng Feng of the Xiang family came with his own hate magnet. If he were in a game, he would be a sturdy tank, one who sheds blood but sheds no tears!

Xiang Yi lit up. “Big brother, you really are a genius, that makes so much sense!”

Xiang Yi returned to the living room still wearing her brother’s jacket. Shi Sui, who had been teasing Xiao Naofu, briefly paused his actions for a moment and slipped a glance at her.

“Mr. Si is here?” Xiang Yi noticed Si Chuanbai standing to the side.

As a reputable agent, Si Chuanbai always wore a crisp suit. Xiang Yi felt he was even more of a domineering boss than her little uncle.

Si Chuanbai respectfully greeted: “Miss Xiang.”

He was visiting to pass on Shi Sui’s work.

Ah Nan gazed at Si Chuanbai with large eyes for a long time before shuffling over and asking in a small voice: “Are these bling-bling cuff links of yours made out of black obsidian?”

His envious gaze was that of a child who had just bought a five-cent popsicle watching another child from his class eating a five-dollar ice cream cone.

Si Chuanbai: “…”

He smiled politely. “Mhm.”

Ah Nan immediately sighed with genuine admiration. “Wow~~”

They were both agents, yet Si Chuanbai looked like an elite, while he…

He was at most a freeloader to society Q_Q

Si Chuanbai thought Xiang Yi’s manager was way out of line as well.

With his color-splattered hair and goofy grin…

And the way he interacted with Xiang Yi confused Si Chuanbai even more.

They did not seem like business partners but two close girlfriends.

Ah Nan was already hungry before it was meal time, and Xiang Yi even made him a bowl of green onion noodles.

Seeing Ah Nan gobble up the food, Si Chuanbai frowned.

Does it really taste that good?

He’s not acting, is he?

But once lunch was brought to the table —

Braised pork hock, braised chicken feet, braised duck neck, braised tofu, braised shiitake…

The fragrant aroma overwhelmed his senses. The ingredients had been stewed softly and wrapped in a thick and shiny marinade, with some sesame seeds sprinkled on top as garnish.

This marinated platter immediately grabbed Si Chuanbai’s attention.

Maintaining his composure, Si Chuanbai picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of stir-fried vegetable nearest to him when someone stuffed a large tender pork hock into his hands.

“Just bite it off, bite it! Don’t be timid! This is the biggest one!” Ah Nan mustered between mouthfuls of chicken feet.

Si Chuanbai: “…”

Is this a joke!

Would such a strict, tidy, sophisticated man gnaw on a pork hock so barbarically like this feather duster?!

But…

But…

Why does this damned pig hock have to smell so good?!!!
