As Xiao Wei was watching a martial arts drama, he suddenly felt a chill on his head, and a cold wind blew through, filling the entire house.
Are all the heroes in TV dramas this powerful?
The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms have even reached outside!
Xiao Wei wanted to tell Bai Lu this earth-shattering news, but when he turned around...
Surprisingly, Bai Lu's usual gentle smile was gone; her fair face now wore a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, and her lips were pursed.
There was also a faint sound of teeth grinding.
Xiao Wei wondered if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that Bai Lu seemed to be angry.
Because she had already picked all the roses in the vase—one, two, three.
Did my brother upset my sister-in-law again?
Xiao Wei looked at the rose petals scattered on the ground, silently turned his head, and decided to continue watching TV.
It wouldn't be good if we got caught in the crossfire.
The older brother should be able to appease his sister-in-law.
Thinking too much will only fuel the flames of war.
Yun Ruolin asked Xiao Cheng about the approximate price range he was interested in, and introduced him to information such as the types of marble, the uses of customized finished products, the carving, polishing, and delivery of patterns.
The first beautiful pink rose was stripped bare by the White Dew, leaving it with only a bare stem.
Xiao Cheng responded from time to time, and while asking for relevant information, the second pink rose was plucked bare by Bai Lu.
Yun Ruolin introduced Xiao Cheng to the high-quality, large floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent sound insulation, speaking softly and occasionally chuckling as she described them.
The third pink rose was plucked bare by the White Dew.
When Xiao Cheng responded and inquired about relevant information, the fourth pink rose was plucked bare by Bai Lu.
Beautiful petals fell to the ground, layer upon layer, covering Bai Lu's feet, only to be kicked away by her.
The wind swept the petals away.
A soft, gentle reminder rang in my ears again: "Brother Cheng's phone call, it seems you forgot to hang up?"
Bai Lu: "..."
How dare you hang up on her!
Make him eat three pounds of spicy chicken as soon as he gets home!
Xiao Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the phone lying still on the table, and spoke in a formulaic tone, his voice becoming slightly softer.
But there was no room for doubt: "No need to hang it."
Yun Ruolin smiled faintly and asked casually, "Is there some very important business to discuss? If so, I apologize for the inconvenience."
You know you're disturbing us, why don't you leave!
The white dew falls silently as flowers are plucked.
Xiao Cheng spoke clearly: "Family matters."
A look of surprise flashed across Yun Ruolin's eyes, and she subconsciously asked, "A relative?"
If you're just a business partner, don't you think it's impolite to ask about someone else's business so presumptuously?
Bai Lu promptly pricked up her ears.
Dare to say she's some distant relative, someone you barely know, and that she'll treat him to a spicy feast when she comes back!
Xiao Cheng didn't like others prying into his private affairs, and when Yun Ruolin thought of this matter, her expression tightened.
Just as he was about to change the subject, Xiao Cheng spoke up: "The lady of the house."
Yun Ruolin was taken aback, staring blankly at Xiao Cheng, who never explained himself to anyone, but instead explained himself to her.
"The architectural style and interior design of the new home were all chosen according to her preferences."
So, all that listening to her talk and asking her so many questions was for the lady of the house to hear?
Should the lady of the house raise any objections on the spot?
Yun Ruolin's expression changed, her smile vanished instantly, and her sharp nails dug into her palms.
How could there be a female head of the household in Xiao Cheng's house? How could there be... There shouldn't be a female head of the household here.
"Who is the mistress..."
Yun Ruolin's incredulous mutterings had barely ended when Xiao Cheng's clear and powerful voice rang out—
"My wife."
Bai Lu: "..."
Okay, I forgive him.
We're not preparing a spicy feast to welcome him.
Yun Ruolin froze, her heart trembling. She looked at the man opposite her in disbelief, her peripheral vision glancing at the teapot and the half-open gift box. Inside, she saw a hair clip inlaid with seven white pearls, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She could no longer maintain her composure; her eyes were fixed, staring intently at the white pearl hair clip.
How did this thing get here...?
Knock knock knock!
A sudden, extremely loud knocking broke the eerie silence inside.
"Brother Cheng, I've found it!"
Li Si didn't care whether Xiao Chengtong agreed to let him in, or whether it was appropriate for him to come in at this time.
After knocking on the door, he rushed in with a few big strides. When he got to Xiao Cheng, he seemed to realize that there was a second person in the room, and that the second person was Yun Ruolin.
He immediately greeted her, "Miss Yun, it's so late, are you here to discuss a collaboration with Brother Cheng?"
Yun Ruolin's ears, which had been dazed by the knocking, returned to normal, and her flustered facial expression regained its composure.
He gave a polite smile, nodded slightly, and said in a normal tone, "We've finished talking. If you need anything, talk to Brother Cheng. I won't bother you any longer."
Without hesitation, he turned and left.
The woman in the white dress quickly disappeared outside the door.
Li Si, however, was filled with worry and heartache: "Brother Cheng, why did you let her in again? What if something happens so late? Last time you also let her into your room late at night, and you even said you weren't drunk and didn't mistake her for your sister-in-law."
“You didn’t drink today, so why did you let her into the room again? What if your sister-in-law finds out…”
Li Sitai was so worried about her elder brother and sister-in-law's relationship that she didn't even notice the phone still on the table.
They didn't even notice Xiao Cheng's dark expression, or his hand that had just gripped the phone receiver but looked like he wanted to punch someone.
"Li Si".
“Acheng.”
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Because he was so worried about his elder brother and sister-in-law's relationship, Li Si rushed in and stood in front of Xiao Cheng's desk, quite close to the landline phone and Xiao Cheng. Suddenly, he heard the voice coming from the receiver, lecturing him, and immediately pressed pause.
Turning around decisively, he finally saw Xiao Cheng's gloomy face and the telephone receiver in his hand.
Li Si was startled, his mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Sister-in-law?"
"Was that your sister-in-law calling?"
Before Xiao Cheng could speak, a clear and pleasant voice came through the receiver: "Cheng, haven't you eaten yet? The food has been in your room for so long, it'll get cold if you don't eat it soon. Give the phone to Li Si, I have something I want to talk to him about."
The whole passage seems normal, but it contains a lot of information.
Just as Xiao Cheng was about to explain, the phone was snatched away by the flustered Li Si: "Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand! Let me explain, it's not what you think, Brother Cheng and..."
"Beep beep beep!"
The sound of the phone being hung up was deafening, like a bolt from the blue, striking Li Si from head to toe.
The shock sent a chill through his entire body, from the top of his head to his heels, making him feel as if death was just around the corner.
His stiff neck cracked and turned, and sure enough, he saw the cold-faced Yama, exuding a murderous aura, staring at him with murderous eyes, and the telephone receiver that had been hung up in his hand.
"Brother Cheng, let me explain..."
"Fight back!"
Li Si was almost scared to death by the murderous-looking boss. He frantically rushed to the landline and quickly dialed the number.
At the same time, she didn't forget to reassure herself and her boss: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, your sister-in-law is definitely not angry or misunderstanding anything. She must have accidentally hung up the phone..."
