Chapter 21：One condition (2/2)
Zhiyuan didn't respond.
”Fine. You can go together. But. I don't want any screw up on the cruise and I am not talking about the business part. If you did anything that crosses the limit of my patience, then mark my words Zhiyuan. You have yet to see the worst of my temper.”
Zhiyuan stared at him. He never understood why he always threatened him regarding Xinyi.
”Grandpa. Why do you always have to warn me? I know how to take care of Xinyi.”
Xinyi stiffened.
Once again he asked that question that nobody could answer.
Han Huizhong sneered. ”It's that you don't know how to take care of her which is precisely why I have to warn you.”
Zhiyuan wanted to say something more but Han Huizhong already cut him off. ”Get out now! I don't want to get sick seeing any more of your face.”

Xiaosi closed the door behind him and stood in front of Caihong. ”Get up.”
Caihong didn't respond to him and just kept reading her book.
He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the bed to make her face him.
Caihong glared at him. ”Xiaosi! How dare you!”
He sneered. ”I can dare do many things Caihong. This much is nothing.”
Xiaosi narrowed his eyes. ”You told your father you would be going back to the An residence?”
Zhu Caihong was An Caihong before marriage so An residence was her maiden home.
”Yes, I did. So what?”
”You didn't tell me.”
Caihong laughed. ”Oh please. I don't have to tell you anything as if we are real husband and wife.”
Xiaosi stared at her unblinkingly. Then he took a step closer to her and forcibly pulled her in his arms.
”Xiaosi! Don't cross your limits!”
He chuckled. ”Real husband and wife?” He gripped her jaw, leaned his face closer to hers, and brushed his thumb along her cheek. ”Should I show you right now how much of a real husband and wife we are?”
Caihong's face paled. She couldn't move as if she got paralyzed.
Suddenly, flashes of a certain memory raced in her mind and her eyes teared up. She felt breathless and her heart started to thud loudly in fear.
”I guess you understand now.”
Xiaosi sneered and let go of her. Caihong quickly took two steps back and widened the distance between them.
”You are not going to the An residence for now.”
Her jaw clenched in anger as she trembled. ”Who are you to tell me if I should go or not!”
Xiaosi shrugged. ”I don't care. But next week, I need you to come with me on a trip.”
”I am not going anywhere with you!”
He ignored her. ”So pack whatever stuff you need. After the trip, you can go to An residence but for only three days.”
Caihong was boiling in anger. ”Why should I listen to you?”
Xiaosi smiled. ”Because apparently, I will destroy the An Corps if you don't listen to me. Your father and stepmother wouldn't be so happy to be reduced to begging on the streets now, now would they?”
She said nothing.
”Call your father right now and tell him you are postponing your visit. Don't make me do it.”
Xiaosi turned to leave but then he stopped. ”And I don't want you to talk any nonsense to Chyou or I will ruin your life.”
Caihong chuckled as tears trickled down her cheeks. ”You have already ruined it enough. What more can you do to destroy it?”
”Let's not get into that, my sweet wife.”
Xiaosi left the room and immediately he heard a loud crashing sound of a vase breaking into pieces.
He kept walking towards his room when he got a call from Chyou's school. It was the principal on the line.
”Mr. Zhu Xiaosi?”
”What is it?”
”I called to inform you that you and your wife will need to come tomorrow at the school. There is a complaint regarding Zhu Chyou.”
He stopped and squinted his gaze.
”What do you mean?”
He heard what happened and raised his brow.
”His parents want to address this tomorrow.”
”Who is that boy?”
”Han Siying.”
Xiaosi paused for a moment and then began laughing.
The principal was taken aback. ”Um, Mr. Zhu…?”
Xiaosi's expression darkened as he stopped laughing. ”I need you to tell Han Zhiyuan something for me when he comes tomorrow.”
