48 Chapter 48 : Xiulan’s Sister From Another World (1/2)

Xiulan impatiently taps her slim fingers on top of the pile of documents while she waits for Wen Wenyan to answer her calls for the nth time today.

”The number you have dialed may not be available or out of service coverage. Please try again later.” The familiar robotic voice said again for how many times.

*Sighs*

”This brat, why is he not answering? Did something happen?” Xiulan worriedly mumbled. She tried to call him five times this morning, two times during lunch time and three times before 5pm. It's already 9pm and she only wanted to invite him to attend her second wedding but the bestie is not even answering any of her calls.

”He must be busy, very very busy.” Xiulan sighed in defeat and decided to stop calling Wenyan. She really wanted to see her long time bestfriend but he might be in some faraway country again. The wedding will happen in two weeks and she's not sure if Wenyan will be available.

Xiulan turns off her laptop and pick up her bag and phone before she leaves her office. She will call him again tomorrow. He might be somewhere without any signal.

Since Hongqi's penthouse is only 5 minutes away from her office, she decided to buy some groceries to remove her bothered feeling regarding Wenyan's unanswered calls. Though their fridge is always full, she wanted to buy specific ingredients for the dish she saw on the internet awhile ago.

She was now inside a nearby grocery store and was picking some leeks when her phone suddenly vibrated. She expected that it might be Wenyan. She hurriedly looks at her phone to check but it was only her previous landlord.

”Miss, you may need to come here. A friend of yours, Wen Wenyan is currently looking for you and it looks like she's in some predicament.” The message said.

[ A/N: Remember that Wenyan is trans and wears fashionable female clothes. Xiulan still uses male pronouns on Wenyan due to habits. ]

Xiulan quickly went to the cashier to pay her goods and hurredly ran outside to hail a cab like she was being chased by policemen.

”He's here? Then why did he not even answer my calls?” Xiulan irritably mumbles while she worriedly waits inside the cab. This dear friend of hers really makes her worried to death.

After an hour, she finally arrived at her former beloved apartment. The place seems to be quiet like usual but the landlord's room lights are unexpectedly open at this kind of hour.

Xiulan ran inside the apartment and to the landlord's room. She did not expect that Wenyan was really here and he looks like he got beat up. His beautiful branded clothes were muddy and he had a huge blackeye. His makeup was smudged too.

”Wenyan!” Xiulan quickly ran to him and hugged him. ”Wenyan! You dummy! What happened to you?”

Wenyan didn't answer but instead started to cry on XIulan's arms and pulled Xiulan to an embrace.

”Wenyan… shhh….” Xiulan can't bear to see Wenyan like this. He was her bestfriend and like a little brother now little sister. She may not be using the right pronouns for him but it was already a habit that she must change. She was deeply worried seeing Wenyan beat up like this.

”Let's go inside. I'll cook something for you.” Xiulan picked up the poor looking Wenyan and helped him walk towards their room.

Xiulan was busy preparing the bowls of soup, rice, and tonkatsu on the dining table when Wenyan came out of the bathroom.

”The food is ready. Come here. Gosh, you're making me worry to death.” Xiulan said and hands him some chopsticks before they both sit.

”I'm sorry for making you worried. Family affairs again.” Wenyan gloomily said before lowering his head to taste the soup.

”Is your family still against your dream? I thought they will leave you alone. You are successful and people respected you. Why can't they just move on?” Xiulan pointed and started picking the tonkatsu meat and put it inside her mouth. It really makes her mad whenever the Wen family starts to connect themselves to Wenyan again. They only bring pain to him.

”Dad… he baited me. I was dating this guy in London a month ago. Though we were not sexual with each other yet, I was falling so hard on him. He was really sweet and charming. But I found out he's one of my dad's spies and he was there to corner me to come back here.” Wenyan suddenly started to share his woes.

Xiulan stops her movements and unbelievably looks at Wenyan. ”That! That's what you get in flirting with different men!” She suddenly scolded him instead of consoling him.

”Aish! Let me finish first before you scold me.” Wenyan rebutted and devilishly raised his beautiful plucked eyebrows at Xiulan.

Xiulan only gave him an eyeroll and started eating her food again.

”Once he cornered me to come back here. Dad beat me up while we were inside his private jet going back here. He said I must go back so big brother could marry. He kept saying that I'm the only help they could get so my brother would stop doing stalkerish stuff.” Wenyan has a graved expression while he shares his family woes.

”Can't you believe it? They kidnapped me and beat me up just for a petty reason? Gosh! I want to pull each of their hair!” Wenyan angrily stabs the tonkatsu meat like he was murdering somebody.

”What does that got to do with you?” Xiulan nonchalantly asked. She doesn't get while they would need Wenhan. Are they allowing him to succeed one of Wen family businesses if he helped?

Wenyan gave a bored look at Xiulan and paused for a long time. ”What?” Xiulan irritably asked. She didn't like that expression on him.

”You. My big brother wants to marry you.” Wenyan said with a serious expression.

Xiulan choked on her tonkatsu meat when she heard what Wenyan said. She felt like dying when the meat was stuck inside her throat. She coughed very badly. She kept hitting her chest and drank a mouthful of water to relieve the pain.

”I know, very shocking.” Wenyan nonchalantly muttered while he eats his food.

”What the hell is wrong with your family? I'm married.” Xiulan said and announced a fact in case no one knows.

”They already expect you to have a divorce in the future. They are so very sure you will have a divorce so brother wanted to be close to you again through me. They wanted the two of you to have a fruitful friendship while you are still married with the very hot Xing Hongqi. So in case, you will really get a divorce, my brother will catch you.” Wenyan explained and stared at Xiulan's eyes to see her reaction.
