Chapter 799 - Right For Her (1/2)
During breakfast, Ying and Xiao Li were involved in an intense staring competition. Both tried to burn the other through the fire burning in their eyes. Both were eager to find answers to their questions and both were stuck because of each other.
”Both of you,” began Xin Zimen. ”Stop glaring at each other.”
”We are not glaring,” said both Ying and Xiao Li simultaneously.
”Oh?” responded Xin Zimen. ”It feels to me like you both are this close to strangling each other.”
”I would never do that to her.”
”I would never do that to him.”
No matter what their differences were, they'd never actually try to harm each other. They could only bark at each other, there was no real bite!
Meanwhile, after another restless night, Ah-Si was on the verge of collapsing. Both mentally and physically. Even after thinking for a whole night, he hadn't been able to come to a real solution. The only conclusion he came to was that he neither could disclose the whole truth to Xiao Li nor could he tell it to Nora.
As much as he loved both of these people, he didn't wish to see them struggling like he was currently doing. But just because he came to a conclusion didn't mean that he could rest in peace. It meant he had to suffer through this situation on his own!
However, it wasn't as easy as he thought. He was neither able to stop thinking about it, nor was he able to ignore any of it. Since he really needed to have this conversation with someone. He wanted to have this conversation with Xiu herself! The person who was most involved with his restless nights. Since she made him restless, she was the only one who could bring him peace again.
Now that he had realized this part, he only had to think of an appropriate time to talk to her as well. After all, he didn't know whether it'd be right to talk to her right now or not.
Today, only a few people were at the breakfast. Francesca had left early. Nora had gone home for a while. Dylan hadn't come back. Xin Zemin had gone to give company to his daughter while Zhao Huan joined him because she wanted to help Xiu with eating.
So, apart from Xiao Li, Ying, Ah-Si, and Xin Zimen, only Han Bohai was there.
Suddenly, rushed footsteps sounded from outside and Su Feifei's anxious face appeared at the doorway.
”Feifei, join us for breakfast,” offered Xin Zimen.
Su Feifei made a crying face as she said, ”Brother-in-law, my appetite is all gone.”
”Why?” he questioned.
She moved up to Ying and forced a smile, ”Yingying, don't be upset with me.”
Ying frowned at her aunt, ”What is up?”
Su Feifei licked her lips and said, ”Actually, your mom heard about everything that happened.”
”WHAT?!” Ying stood up so abruptly that her chair fell backward.
Su Feifei had expected that reaction, ”But trust me, I didn't tell her anything! I swear I didn't!”
”Aunt!” exclaimed Ying.
Su Feifei took a step back before saying, ”Although I wanted to tell her, I didn't do it. Or more like I called her to inform her everything but apparently, she already knew everything. She gave me a lecture for half an hour. I'm sure she wanted to continue for longer but I smartly hung up the call.”
”Smartly hanging up on your elder sister?” echoed Xin Zimen. ”Are you that eager to die, Feifei?”
Su Feifei smiled at him, ”Oh, she won't be able to kill me that easily.”
”Are you doubting your sister's capabilities?” questioned Xin Zimen.
Su Feifei shook her head, ”Nope. I'll just hide behind you. I'm sure you won't let me die so young.”
Xin Zimen rolled his eyes at her but didn't say anything to her. Since his wife cherished Su Feifei like a younger sister, how could he let her get wronged? But then again, he also knew that even Su Xixi would not have the heart to say anything to Su Feifei. After Wen Ai's death, although it seemed Su Xixi grew colder and strict, it was only because she didn't want to lose Su Feifei as well.
Ying also looked at Xin Zimen, ”Zizi, you have to help me!”
