Chapter 434 - Jiang Wantin‘s Advice (1/2)
Liu Xiaorui went to sleep early in Yezi’s room after dinner. Xiao Bing joked that Liu Xiaorui chose Yezi over him. But Liu Xiaorui said that she wanted to sleep with both of them. Xiao Bing could not help laughing. He surmised that this girl did not want to leave him, although she had found out that she had been taking her brother away from her sister in law.
The little girl soon fell asleep with Xiao Bing and Yezi on either side of her. The two began talking, while staring at the ceiling. Yezi talked about the things in the company and things she found interesting. But she never mentioned the difficulties she encountered. Though Xiao Bing knew that the job was becoming easier for Yezi, he supposed that it was inevitable for this girl to be stressed. She did not talk about it, because she did not want to bring the negativity to Xiao Bing. He would tell something interesting to Yezi or some jokes, which made Yezi try hard to hold back her laughter. She glared at Xiao Bing and said, “Stop that, Little Huarui is sleeping.”
Xiao Bing said innocently, “There’s one person between us. How am I supposed to…”
Yezi blushed. Suddenly she reached out her hands under Little Huarui. Then Xiao Bing felt his waist being pinched hard. Xiao Bing almost cried out because of the pain.
Smiling, Yezi said, “I can still pinch someone even if there’s a girl between us…”
Xiao Bing said with a piteous look, “It looks like you will be doing this to me forever.”
Yezi giggled, “Alright. Since you said it, I’m going to bully you forever.”
The two talked and laughed until midnight. Yezi fell asleep first since she was so sleepy. Later Xiao Bing closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
Su Xiaoxiao was tossing and turning in bed. She could not stop thinking about the scene where Xiao Bing was dancing with Yezi. She found herself strangely jealous… Yezi was her best friend. Her jealousy of Yezi made her feel bewildered.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her head with her hands. “But I… I really wish that I was the one who was dancing with him.”
Tears trickled down her cheeks. There were 7 sufferings in life, and two of them were being afraid of starting something and being reluctant to let go.
She knew it was impossible and she still could not let go of the feeling. The hardest thing for humans to control was their feelings.
The next morning, when they were having breakfast in the dining hall, Xiao Bing noticed that Su Xiaoxiao did not look well. He asked out of his concern for her, “Xiaoxiao, did you not have a good sleep these days. You don’t look as energetic as before. Are you sick?”
“No… I’m not.” Su Xiaoxiao answered hurriedly.
Maggie cast a glance at Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing. Though Maggie was only a little girl, she was very smart. She was about to speak, when Zhan Hongyan, who was sitting beside her, poked her discreetly. Zhan Hongyan gave her a look and shook her head.
Reluctantly, Maggie shut her mouth. Indeed she was a smart girl. But she was too young. She did not know that there were things that could not be brought out in the open.
Xiao Bing noticed the byplay between Maggie and Zhan Hongyan, and he vaguely guessed the reason why Su Xiaoxiao looked so appalling these days. It seemed that he really had to find a chance to have a talk with Su Xiaoxiao.
After breakfast, Yezi stood up hurriedly and said, “I should leave now. There are so many contracts I need to deal with in the company.”
Xiao Bing said, “Okay.”
Yezi said, “Remember to send Little Huarui to the kindergarten.”
Xiao Bing smiled, “I know.”
After breakfast, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Some went to the noodle house to help, some went to practice martial arts, some went to work. Xiao Bing drove Liu Xiaorui to school.
After he dropped Liu Xiaorui off at the kindergarten. Xiao Bing went back to the Xiao Mansion alone. Then he got a call from the police. It was Jiang Wanting, whom Xiao Bing had met many times. She was from the Criminal Police Brigade. Though she was young, she had a powerful background and had earned many medals. If it were not for the fact that she had only worked for only a short time, she probably would have been promoted already. But her future was still prominent.
Before Jiang Wanting could speak, Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Don’t say anything yet. Let me guess. Are you guys planning to release those men? The young master of the Lu Family and his vermin?”
Jiang Wanting sighed and said, “Indeed they crossed the line. But overall, Brother Bing, they barely did anything to you. You even beat them black and blue. This morning, the Lu Family called and they asked us to release them. I can’t detain them for too long and they are pressuring us.
Grinning, Xiao Bing said, “Okay. I don’t want to cause trouble for the police.”
