Chapter 289 - Bridal Carry (1/2)

“…”

“…”

Xiang Yi was afraid that Xiang Chen wouldn’t believe that she was sincere and thus, she clenched her fist and tried to flex her muscles. “Brother, I’m very strong. If you don’t like carrying me, I can carry you instead…”

Xiang Chen glanced at her fair arm and couldn’t help but frown.

For the past year that Xiang Yi’s body had been occupied, “that person” used a very unhealthy method to lose weight—going on extreme diets. Hence, Xiang Yi was much thinner than she used to be and her arms were scarily thin. She seemed gaunt and fragile, as if she could be snapped in half easily.

‘Forget it, what am I getting upset at her for?’

Xiang Chen said with a sullen expression, “Come here.”

Xiang Yi didn’t move. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to but because she was really terrified!

She would feel a greater sense of security by staying by Shi Sui’s side.

Seeing that Xiang Yi was cowering towards Shi Sui, Xiang Chen’s temples throbbed. ‘Xiang Yi really needs to be taught a lesson, is she getting into a romantic relationship at such a young age!?’

‘Does she still care about the family rules!?!’

Shi Sui could guess what Xiang Yi was thinking. He looked down with an evil gaze and said in an innocent and sluggish tone, “Brother, I’ll just hold her.”

As he spoke, he helped Xiang Yi to the castle.

Xiang Chen shifted his gaze from Xiang Yi towards Shi Sui’s…legs.

He seemed to be sizing Shi Sui up and contemplating to break his leg.

He took a large stride forward and picked Xiang Yi up in his arms!

“Huh!?”

Xiang Yi watched in shock as Xiang Chen said with a straight face, “Your legs are too short, you won’t be able to keep up with my pace. I don’t want to waste time.”

“…”

‘Is that okay?’

However, Xiang Yi realized that Xiang Chen had picked her up in his arms!

‘Does this mean that he isn’t actually that angry with me?’

Xiang Yi carefully scratched her finger against the fabric of his blazer, anxious and overjoyed.

To her surprise, Xiang Chen said, “Tsk, you’re quite heavy.”
