Chapter 66：The lie that is out (1/2)

Xiaosi dusted his coat and sighed. ”It's just a joke, Zhi. Why do you even care? Those are old times I was talking about when…” his lips curled in a provocative smile, ”you were with someone else. Why does it matter to you what I felt about Xinyi at that time?”

Xinyi's brows tensed up.

Zhiyuan coldly said, ”Past or the present, I won't let your filthy remarks about her slide like that. If you cannot talk respectfully to her, then keep your mouth shut. I already made it clear to you. Don't involve Xinyi and Siying in your fight.”

”Our fight, Zhiyuan,” Xiaosi strangely became serious.

He smiled. ”No, Xiaosi. It's only your fight because I have got no interest in a whiny child's fight who doesn't even want to come forward and clear things out. You are just acting like a stubborn child. And also because...I still hope to get my best friend back one day.”

Xinyi faintly smiled.

He thought Xiaosi would laugh it off as usual, but he didn't. There was a fierce rage in his eyes, wanting to swallow Zhiyuan whole.

The air around him turned chilly. ”Get me back? Come out of your little dream world, Mr. Han. That is never going to happen because you already closed that path ages ago.”

Then the smile returned. ”Take care of Chyou. If anything happens to her, you can't imagine what I would do. Clearly, I am not welcomed here. But I hope my daughter will be welcomed at the Han villa.”

Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes.

Xinyi quickly said about Chyou's stay at their home for a few days.

Xiaosi said, ”I am getting late,” He bent to pick Chyou in his arms and kissed her cheek. ”Be a good girl. Aunty Xinyi is really nice. She will take good care of you.”

She slowly nodded though she was a little afraid of Zhiyuan now after how he suddenly attacked him.

”You have packed everything, right?” He smiled. ”Don't worry even if you missed anything. The uncle and aunt here are 'good' friends of mine. They will see to all your needs.”

”En,” she softly said.

Xiaosi put her down. He smirked at them and left.

Zhiyuan quickly sat beside Xinyi. ”Are you okay? Did he say or do anything strange?”

He gritted his teeth. Even now when he thought back to how he saw Xiaosi leaning so closely towards Xinyi, fury would erupt in his heart, especially after how he made her sick on the ship.

Xinyi's eyes slightly dimmed.

'They got married to us...who always held an unrequited love for them.'

”Zhiyuan...D-Do you know…”

'This will be our little secret.'

Xinyi let out a breath. She smiled and shook her head. ”Nothing.”

”En.”

”Great. You take rest. The doctor said I can take you back home. I will go and complete the discharge formalities.”

Zhiyuan looked down at Chyou, who seemed a little alert of him. ”I am sorry for scaring you. Your father and I sometimes goof around like that. I wasn't serious about hitting him.”

He had to lie.

Chyou seemed relaxed now. ”Really?”

”En.”

Xinyi quickly said, ”Yes, yes. Your Uncle and Dada always fool us like that and make fun of us. They are meanies!” She pouted.
