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

Xiulan's expression was already knotted to a frown and her lips were pursed like she didn't want to say anything offensive against his bestfriend's family but they are really nuts to come up with this kind of plan. She may divorce Hongqi in the future but that doesn't mean she'll jump on getting married again.

Xiulan stand up from her seat and went to the sink to wash her dishes. She must go home quickly before she gets entangled to the Wen family's stupid plans.

Wenyan sneered from Xiulan's cute reactions and his eyes glinted from her hasty actions to flee.

”Don't worry, I already turned them down. I wouldn't get this blackeye for no reason, right? I'm a functioning person in this society without their help and money. Besides, I would side with you instead of them; you are my big sister, my mother, my auntie, my grandmother and my first and last female love.” Wenyan smiled and continue deliciously eating the tonkatsu. He misses this type of home cooked meals from Xiulan. They were always together before like siblings. But he has to travel abroad to pursue his dreams.

Xiulan turned her head to look at Wenyan. She was touched by Wenyan's words. She didn't expect him to say that out of the blue. She quickly washes her dishes and sat in the seat in front of Wenyan again and gave him a cute smirk.

”What's with your annoying look?” Wenyan irritably said and contemptuously raised his eyebrows at her.

”I'm getting married again with Hongqi in two weeks. It's a traditional wedding. Can you attend?” Xiulan's glistening eyes tried to persuade Wenyan.

Wenyan sighed and started to play his remaining food using his chopsticks. ”Sis, I would love to but I have to protect you from my family. I have to go back to Paris and continue whatever I was doing before my dad kidnapped me. I will send you gifts instead. But right now, I must protect you from their weird plans. Also, don't talk to my brother unless it's business-related. I think he might offer a business proposal to you soon.” Wenyan apologetically said and warned Xiulan.

Instead of getting sad or unhappy about Wenyan's reasons, she gave him a big and satisfied smile. ”Okay. So sweet this little brother from another world. I won't bother you anymore.”

”Excuse me, its little sister! When will you start using the right words?” Wenyan grumbled.

”I don't know. I like calling you that.” Xiulan said and pouted her lips.

”It's a good thing you're an important person in my life so I'm allowing you to call me like that. But if it's another person, I might have smacked their heads off.” Wenyan grumbled and rolled his eyes. ”I spent a lot of money to transition and you still call me little brother? Do you want to die?” Wenyan added like a diva and rolled his eyes on her.

Xiulan busted a huge laugh and squeezed Wenyan's cheeks. She didn't say anything but she only continued smiling and squeezing Wenyan's face.

”Tsk! Stop that! You might move my dermal fillers. Gosh, I don't want to visit my doctor the first thing when I come back to Paris just to align them.” Wenyan ranted again but Xiulan only laughed more and more until Wenyan threw a huge pillow at her.

At 1 AM, Xiulan went back to the penthouse and quietly enters her own room. She didn't want to hear Hongqi's interrogation so as possible she moves very slowly.

It was already 2 AM when she finished her bath and she's currently in the process of combing her hair when she saw a dark figure beside her vanity mirror. It was the connecting door to the master's bedroom. It gave her a fright when she saw a huge figure and the eyes were looking at her.

The room in the master's bedroom was really dark so it created a scary silhouette when a person stands between the doors. She gasped when she saw the silhouette but she quickly realizes that it was Hongqi.

”Gosh! What's wrong with you? You scared me!” Xiulan screamed at Hongqi and pulled open the door to see him clearly.Xiulan's anger subsided a little when she saw his glorified upper body. Her fright changed to bashfulness.

”This man is topless again!” Xiulan secretly ranted while she quickly pulls away from her view of him. Ever since he announced that they are going to have their honeymoon in Maldives, he started to not wear any shirts inside this suite anymore.

”Are you a grandma? You're so easily frightened. Where were you? I expect you to be here by 9 or 10 pm.” Hongqi interrogates and went inside her room. He sat on her bed side and pouted at her. He was topless and only wearing black knee-length linen underpants. His whole very masculine look suffocated Xiulan a little. She really didn't like looking at buffed or good muscled topless men. She felt shy just by looking at them. She was never fond of ogling at topless people specifically.

”I was with my childhood bestfriend, Wen Wenyan. He just came back from Paris.” Xiulan informed her husband who's currently giving her a handsome frown. She kept her eyes on his face and not somewhere else.

”He?!” Hongqi didn't expect that. Why would his wife be with someone until late at night? And it was with a man! Also as far as he remembers she's not that close with anyone. He knows she has a childhood bestfriend but he didn't expect them to be this close.

”Yes. Though he's a she now. But it's a bad habit of mine.” Xiulan apologetically said.

”Is that guy related to Wen Wuzhou?” Hongqi brushed off the issue of staying late with a bestfriend but now that he remembers that Wen Wenyan is connected to Wen Wuzhou, he felt like something's amiss.

Xiulan's eyes bulged when she heard Wuzhou's name from Hongqi's lips. ”What is this… why is big brother Wuzhou's name kept popping? I don't like this.” Xiulan quietly asked herself.

She nodded and made a questioning look. ”Is something the matter?”

Hongqi didn't answer immediately but he was brushing his sharp jaw line like he was thinking something very deeply.

”Nothing. I just don't like him.” Hongqi said and has a stern look on his face. He suddenly stands up from the bed and exited her room without further saying anything.

XIulan was confused at the moment and it kind of lagged to her why he was mad at Wuzhou.

XIulan continued brushing her hair again since she didn't understand where his tantrums' sources are coming from again. But Hongqi came back to her room and she quickly kept her eyes away from him like she saw something indecent.

”Look at me,” Hongqi commanded Xiulan. He has that handsome serious face going on and adds that his abs were in sight didn't help Xiulan's current predicament.

”I really don't like looking at topless people. Are you in having a financial problem that you can't even afford to wear tops anymore? Do you want me to buy you one?” XIulan rebutted and kept her sight in the mirror.

Hongqi has been doing this topless thing to entice or seduce Xiulan but it seems that it's not working. As expected from his peculiar wife, her interests are really different from the women he dated before. He must try to look for other ways to seduce her.

Hongqi didn't answer her questions but instead reminded her of the dreaded honeymoon. ”Remember, Maldives. As soon as our wedding reception is finished we're going straight there.” He announced again and left the room with a naughty smirk.

Xiulan hurriedly stands up from the vanity chair and locked her door.

”That man is so annoying! Gosh!” Xiulan groaned due to her irritation.The more she sees him topless, the more she feels like the whole honeymoon thing will be her new nightmare.
