“…”
“…”
Xiang Yi was afraid that Xiang Chen wouldn’t believe that she was sincere and thus, she clenched her fist and tried to flex her muscles. “Brother, I’m very strong. If you don’t like carrying me, I can carry you instead…”
Xiang Chen glanced at her fair arm and couldn’t help but frown.
For the past year that Xiang Yi’s body had been occupied, “that person” used a very unhealthy method to lose weight—going on extreme diets. Hence, Xiang Yi was much thinner than she used to be and her arms were scarily thin. She seemed gaunt and fragile, as if she could be snapped in half easily.
‘Forget it, what am I getting upset at her for?’
Xiang Chen said with a sullen expression, “e here.”
Xiang Yi didn’t move. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to but because she was really terrified!
She would feel a greater sense of security by staying by Shi Sui’s side.
Seeing that Xiang Yi was cowering towards Shi Sui, Xiang Chen’s temples throbbed. ‘Xiang Yi really needs to be taught a lesson, is she getting into a romantic relationship at such a young age!?’
‘Does she still care about the family rules!?!’
Shi Sui could guess what Xiang Yi was thinking. He looked down with an evil gaze and said in an innocent and sluggish tone, “Brother, I’ll just hold her.”
As he spoke, he helped Xiang Yi to the castle.
Xiang Chen shifted his gaze from Xiang Yi towards Shi Sui’s…legs.
He seemed to be sizing Shi Sui up and contemplating to break his leg.
He took a large stride forward and picked Xiang Yi up in his arms!
“Huh!?”
Xiang Yi watched in shock as Xiang Chen said with a straight face, “Your legs are too short, you won’t be able to keep up with my pace. I don’t want to waste time.”
“…”
‘Is that okay?’
However, Xiang Yi realized that Xiang Chen had picked her up in his arms!
‘Does this mean that he isn’t actually that angry with me?’
Xiang Yi carefully scratched her finger against the fabric of his blazer, anxious and overjoyed.
To her surprise, Xiang Chen said, “Tsk, you’re quite heavy.”
Xiang Yi was speechless.
“You’re heavier than rice.”
Xiang Yi was speechless.
“Um… In that case, I’ll walk on my own… Actually, I can walk…” Xiang Yi muttered. She felt a little conscious but of course, she was mostly afraid…
Xiang Chen was a man whom all his family members feared.
Xiang Chen said coldly, “You’re so noisy, shut up.”
Xiang Yi murmured, “…okay.”
She was even more afraid to speak.
Shi Sui, who was behind him, smirked gleefully.
‘Yet another man who can’t be spited~’
‘He’s clearly worried sick about his sister but he’s still pretending to be nonchalant. Clearly, he’s…not the type to express his feelings. Still waters run deep :)’
…
…
In the living room of the castle.
Xiang Chen put Xiang Yi on the sofa. Having been to the castle several times, he was familiar with the layout of the place. After doing so, he got up and went to the kitchen to get some ice.
Xiang Yi came downstairs with a stack of design sketches and showed them off to Xiang Yi like they were treasures. “Xiang Yi! e take a look at the couple’s outfits I’ve designed!”
Xiang Yi took a glance at it and was instantly amazed.
In the past year, some people in the fashion industry had been disgruntled about the fact that Xiang Qi’s designs would often bee trendsetting pieces. His haters would criticize him for sticking to the same design elements all the time and for being able to only design ladies’ clothing.
In fact, many designers in the world specialized only on a specific category of clothes. However, in the eyes of Xiang Qi’s haters, they felt that he would be considered a good-for-nothing who couldn’t live up to his title as a genius, if he wasn’t well-rounded enough to design all sorts of clothing.
They held him to harsh standards but were lenient with themselves.
However, this set of couple outfits that Xiang Qi had designed were very ethereal, exquisite, and absolutely beautiful!
“You designed couple’s outfits for her too?” Xiang Chen asked coldly in a low and deep voice.
After shuddering, Xiang Qi hurriedly denied in fear, “No! It’s a family outfit!”
