Chapter 21-The Wife Claimed That You Two Have A Great Relationship

"You moron! Quickly cover the pot with its cover!" For some unknown reason, Yi Duanfang roared with rage instead of feeling sympathetic towards Chen Kexin when he saw her panicked.

　　Yi Duanfang's angry roar shocked Chen Kexin so much so that she went blank for a moment and did not realize that fire had gone onto her hand.

　　"Ah!" When Chen Kexin finally felt the pain on her hand, she dropped the pot onto the floor. She held on to her hand and immediately burst into tears.

　　Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Weixi came out from his room only to see Yi Duanfang putting a cover on the pot which was sitting on the floor, while Chen Kexin was holding on to her right hand with her left hand, her face streaked with tears.

　　The fire on the gas hob continued burning.

　　"Are you alright, dear?" Wang Weixi hurried over to Chen Kexin and held up her hand to have a good look, while he ignored the burning fire on the stove.

　　Apparently, a layer of skin on Chen Kexin's right thumb was burnt. In frenzy, she retracted her hand from Wang Wenxi's grip and turned her face away in an attempt to stop herself from crying.

　　"What happened, Dear? Are you angry?" Chen Kexin never had to endure such suffering. While Wang Weixi was filled with remorse and guilt, he was at a loss of what to do.

　　Yi Duanfang lifted the pot and set it down, turned off the stove and turned to leave. He sighed as he stole a glance at the two who remained silent.

　　As he reflected on what happened a moment ago, he was indeed too severe. Feeling a little embarrassed, he said, "I am sorry, Kexin. I didn't mean to shout at you, it was just that I panicked..."

　　Wang Weixi turned around and glared at Yi Duanfang as he grumbled, "You knew Kexin didn't know what to do. I had asked that you watch her in the kitchen. What have you been doing?!"

　　Yi Duanfang stood there, feeling somewhat embarrassed yet wronged. Why would you blame me for your wife's stupidity?

　　"Let me have another look at your hand, Dear. Come, I will bandage it for you." While Wang Weixi reached out to take Chen Kexin's hand, she remained turned away from him and held on to her hand, refusing to let Wang Weixi take a look at it.

　　Feeling pained, Wang Weixi said, "I am sorry, dear, it's all my fault. What's most pressing now is for me to attend to your wound first, will you?"

　　Chen Kexin shook her head in refusal. Initially, Yi Duanfang was still feeling a little guilty. However, as he witnessed Chen Kexin's childish tantrum, he was angered once again.

　　Wang Weixi remained patient as he coaxed, "Will you stop being angry, dear. Come, let me attend to your burn." As he pulled Chen Kexin towards him, she began to cry out in pain.

　　"Is it painful?" Wang Weixi blew lightly on her injured finger and led her out of the kitchen.

　　Yi Duanfang, who was left standing there was not at all happy. He was wondering to himself what he had done?!

　　After a long time, just when Yi Duanfang was about to doze off, Wang Weixi finally exited from the room, wearing a dark expression on his face.

　　Yi Duanfang sighed as if he empathized with Wang Weixi.

　　Wang Weixi sat down. "It's all your fault," he said with indifference.

　　Yi Duanfang kept silent as he looked down and played on his mobile phone. Although he was usually dramatic and talkative, he was keenly aware of Wang Weixi's personality. At this very moment, Wang Weixi was obviously infuriated. He would be digging his own grace if he were to speak up to him.

　　It made Wang Weixi's blood boil when he saw Yi Duanfang's indifferent expression. It pained him as he thought about how Chen Kexin pouted and held back her tears in the room.

　　In the rather empty living room, Wang Weixi eventually fell into silence after he made that statement. Surprisingly Yi Duanfang was not eager to take his leave on this day. He had no idea how to react to Wang Weixi's anger towards him.

　　Wang Weixi took out a cigarette and began smoking. Today had been an eventful day, although the things that happened were not major, each of them ate at Wang Weixi.

　　This silence went on for a long time before Wang Weixi finally realized how awkward it was. He sighed gently, lifted his head to look at Yi Duanfang, who was pretending to be playing with his mobile phone. "Did something happen that you have come all the here at this time?"

　　Yi Duanfang fiddled with his mobile phone in between his hands, lifted his eyes and with a monotone, he said, "What could have happened?" Anyone could tell he was trying to avert answering the question.

　　Wang Weixi knew he had been too hard on his brother a moment ago. He had been too petty. It could be because he was too protective of Chen Kexin, which was why he overreacted despite his usual calm demeanor. He cleared his throat and said, "Please don't get angry, Duanfang. I was to blame for what happened."

　　Yi Duanfang snorted upon hearing Wang Weixi's words. He crossed his legs, folded his arms and wore a childish expression on his handsome face.

　　Wang Weixi felt a sense of helplessness as he wondered how he came to be surrounded by these simpering personalities.

　　"Come on, Duanfang. This isn't something worth getting angry over since we have become sworn brothers for so many years." He thought he better speak up before Yi Duanfang got the better of him. Wang Weixi knew Yi Duanfang like the back of his hand.

　　Yi Duanfang snorted softly and his lips turned up slightly as he said with a victorious, "So you are aware of our long-time relationship? That this was a trivial matter? Then why did you get angry with me over one trivial matter and over this woman?"

　　A new half no doubt, being all petty and acting like a lady.

　　Wang Weixi was immediately displeased. "Alright, let's stop here. This 'one woman' is none other than my woman, who is also your sister-in-law. Shouldn't I be pained that she's injured?"

　　"What sister-in-law? Don't forget that this dear wife of yours addresses me as her elder sister. In this respect, you would be my little brother-in-law!" Yi Duanfang said with a complacent tone. He seemed to be proud of being called an elder sister, even though he was a man.

　　Wang Weixi cringed. He could not understand why a handsome young lad could possess such a twisted mind...

　　"What is that look you are giving me?!" Yi Duanfang felt little frustrated as he realized that Wang Weixi was looking at him with disdain.

　　Wang Weixi adjusted his spectacles and smiled gently, "I don't mean anything. Now can you tell me why you are here?"

　　Yi Duanfang fiddled with the fringe on his forehead and replied, "Why else am I here? I received news of your promotion to be a general manager."

　　Wang Weixi's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

　　"Congratulation! Now you are my direct superior." Yi Duanfang pointed at Wang Weixi and smiled.

　　Wang Weixi gave a wave and said with disappointment, "Stop saying that. I was promoted because of my father-in-law's help. I am not one bit happy about it..." Yi Duanfang and he had been good brothers for many years, and for this reason, Wang Weixi would only review his true feelings when he was with Yi Duanfang.

　　Looking at Wang Weixi who looked discouraged, Yi Duanfang shook his head in helplessness. Naturally, he could empathize with his good brother. He still understood the basic instincts of a man although he was a newhalf.

　　Wang Weixi rested on the sofa in exhaustion. He laid his head backward and gradually closed his eyes.

　　"Stop brooding over this. Actually, you are more than capable to take up this position. It wouldn't have taken so long if that Zhang Wei had not interfered secretly. Why should you be bothered about how this came about, now that you are given the opportunity? What's more important is that you work hard now, and then everyone would recognize your capability." Yi Duanfang said with a serious expression, which was unlike him.

　　Wang Weixi kept silent. It was not difficult to work hard. What got him worried was that regardless of how hard he worked, he could not rid himself of people's impression of him eating off a woman.

　　As Yi Duanfang fashioned his hair using his phone camera, he glanced at the troubled Wang Weixi and continued, "The company owes this to you. You are merely receiving her payback. There is no need for you to feel so burdened."

　　Wang Weixi nodded as he opened his eyes and threw an playful look at Yi Duanfang. He cocked his head to the side and said with curiosity, "Duanfang, I realized you sounded like a real man today when you talked."

　　...

　　Yi Duanfang scrunched up his face while Wang Weixi put on his signature bright smile. As Wang Weixi looked on Yi Duanfang with an innocent look, Yi Duanfang instinctively took out a bolster from behind him in a flash.

　　"You scoundrel, Wang Weixi!" Yi Duanfang roared with rage and tossed the booster at Wang Weixi.

　　Wang Weixi immediately stood up and dodged down, saying, "I meant this as a compliment! Who else would make such a comment about you!"

　　...

　　Yi Duanfang seriously felt humiliated by Wang Weixi. As he became more enraged, he stood up, picked up the bolster and frantically slammed it down on Wang Weixi.

　　Wang Weixi was sufficiently nimble to dodge Yi Duanxi's attacks. Finally, when Yi Duanfang could not get his hands on any bolster, Wang Weixi proudly said, "What else can you do?"

　　Yi Duanfang was so frustrated that he roared at Wang Weixi, saying, "You knew I hate being called a real man, Wang Weixi! Do you even know that you are humiliating me? You have bruised the pride of a newhalf!"

　　...

　　It was Wang Weixi's turn to be stunned. This guy was angry with me for calling him a real man...

　　Seeing Wang Weixi's stunned expression, Yi Duanfang ran across the room, picked up the last bolster and leaped into the air before he tossed it towards Wang Weixi as if he were shooting a basket.

　　"Boom!" it went as the bolster slammed onto Wang Weixi's face with great force.

　　Seeing that Wang Weixi was stunned, Yi Duanfang beamed and cried, "Goal!" He jumped with joy and applauded himself excitedly.

　　He looked exactly like a young wife in love, who just succeeded in poking fun at her husband. Coincidentally, Yi Duanfang had a very pretty face.

　　Wang Weixi shook his head helplessly, saying, "Dude, you just provoked my wife to anger, and now you are annoying me. You won't be able to escape from this house tonight!" Wang Weixi picked up the bolsters on the floor as he mumbled.

　　Yi Duanfang opened his eyes wider as he heard Wang Weixi. With excitement written all over his face, he said, "Are you extending an invitation, my dear? Is it because you missed me so much being unable to see me in the night for such a long time?" He let out an evil laugh which made Wang Weixi's stomach fluttered.

　　Just when Wang Weixi was about to speak again, suddenly he saw Chen Kexin opened the door to the room and walked out, looking curious.

　　Both Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang were glued to the floor. While Wang Weixi had lulled Chen Kexin to sleep a moment ago, it had slipped his mind that all these noises he was making with Yi Duanfang would wake his darling wife.

　　Yi Duanfang hung his head and saw the plaster on Chen Kexin's hand. He moved his lips in an attempt to say something but eventually stopped himself.

　　With sleepy eyes, Chen Kexin stood there, looking innocently at the two men.

　　"Dear..." Wang Weixi had wanted to ask if they had woken her.

　　Chen Kexin turned to Wang Weixi and gave him a gentle smile. "You two have a great relationship." The tone in her voice made Wang Weixi uneasy.

　　Wang Weixi turned to stone in that instant.
