Chapter 331: Chapter 332 Don’t Look Like Siblings
As if Chu Yuan was not my little sister, but her little sister, Mo Fei hugged Chu Yuan tightly and frowned at me and said, “Chu Nan, do you often bully Yuan Yuan?”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, am I that kind of person?” In fact, Mo Fei also knew that we often joked around, so she didn’t take it seriously. I patted Chu Yuan on the head as a small punishment, and then tactfully asked Mo Fei the question I was worried about, “has… hasn’t she come back to work today?”
Chu Yuan didn’t know who ‘she’ was, but Mo Fei knew who I was talking about.
As if she didn’t like me asking about “her”, her expression darkened, and there were a few traces of sadness in her eyes. She turned her head away as if she didn’t want me to see it, and said lightly, “no.”
With a heavy heart, I asked, “have you never contacted her?”
“She didn’t even answer your call, so do you think she would answer my call?” Mo Fei chuckled bitterly and then asked playfully, “it’s not like you don’t know why she is angry.”
I was speechless…
“Who is angry?” Chu Yuan asked in confusion, “Who are you talking about?”
Both Mo Fei and I felt very embarrassed.
“No, no one, just a friend…” If I said it was Liusu, Chu Yuan would definitely give me an attitude. This girl’s attitude towards Liusu was almost exactly the same as her attitude toward Xiao Zi back then. She just didn’t like them no matter how I wanted to change her mind.
“Yeah,” Muo Fei smiled. Her smile seemed to contain some other meanings in it, “it’s just a friend of your elder brother.”
This woman deliberately emphasized the word ‘friend’, which disturbed my heart for a while.
I couldn’t tell if I was ashamed of myself or angry, I only knew that I had a desire… that I wanted to spank Mo Fei’s plump buttocks hard.
This woman was either teasing me or provoking me…
. . .
As soon as we returned to the investment department, the smile on Mo Fei’s face disappeared. Maybe this was not a disguise, nor a habit, but just her character. Although Mo Fei said that the company had issued an announcement, saying that the gangsters that smashed the company two days ago were not hired by me, and someone wanted to frame me, the look people showed when they looked at me was very strange, which made me very worried.
I was worried that someone would suddenly come over, pat my shoulder, and ask me, “Hey, buddy, I heard that the company was smashed by someone, and it was you who hired someone to do it. Is it true?” The reason why I was worried was that Chu Yuan was here. If she found out about this thing, she would definitely worry about me.
As soon as I entered the investment department, I became the focus of everyone’s attention. What made me, who was originally already eye-catching, even more eye-catching was a cute little girl.
“Daddy?”
Kang Kang, who had sharp eyes, bypassed Gao Dahai who was squatting on the ground to play with her, waddled over like a little duck, and threw herself into my arms. I picked her up and said in surprise, “Kang Kang, Why didn’t you go to school today?”
“I have a cold, and mommy helped me to ask for a sick leave from the school.” Kang Kang sniffed as if she was about to cry. “You haven’t come to see Kang Kang for a long time. You don’t even know that Kang Kang is sick.”
I felt ashamed. I had been troubled by too many things recently, and it had indeed been a long time since the last time I went to see Kang Kang. I took the tissue that Chu Yuan handed over, wiped off her snot, and coaxed her, “Sorry. Daddy was very busy recently, so I didn’t go to see you. Once you get better, I will take you to the amusement park, okay?”
“Mhm, you must keep your word, daddy.” Although Kang Kang was talking to me, she kept tilting her head to look at Chu Yuan. Until Chu Yuan raised the brim of her hat and showed her face, Kang Kang finally recognized her and said excitedly, “little mommy! You are here too! Kang Kang misses you so much.”
She quickly stretched out her hands, wanting to let Chu Yuan hug her. God knew why she would call Chu Yuan ‘Little Mommy’, but Chu Yuan, who was always called a child by me, was very happy and very satisfied. She grabbed a handful of candies from her trench coat pocket and stuffed them into Kang Kang’s little hand, “Kang Kang, I miss you too.”
“Mommy?” Gao Dahai, who was following Kang Kang, was taken aback. He was surprised when he saw that I had no reaction. He looked up and down Chu Yuan and suddenly asked me, “Xiao Chu, is she your… girlfriend?”
Not just me, even Mo Fei whose face was very cold almost couldn’t help herself and burst out laughing. Chu Yuan blushed with embarrassment. She, who was not used to being stared at by so many strangers, reacted even timider than Kang Kang. She actually hid behind me and firmly grasped the corner of my clothes.
Yao Wan’er, who came with Qin Lan, couldn’t help but gasp in shock. She looked at Chu Yuan and me with a weird expression. She was so shocked that she couldn’t even speak.
Qin Lan even directly gave me a thumbs-up. “Chu Nan, I didn’t expect your taste to be more special than mine. I used to think that you were a man who was much simpler than Yang Wei, but now I can finally confirm that he is no match for you. This little sister looks really… ”
Qin Lan thought for a long time but still couldn’t come up with an adjective that would praise Chu Yuan. On the contrary, the more she looked at her, the more she became fascinated by Chu Yuan’s look, and in the end, she even forgot what she was going to say.
Yao Wan’er didn’t even dare to look at me again as if I was some kind of monster, “Little sister, how old are you?”
Not to mention Chu Yuan who was introverted and afraid of strangers, I also felt uncomfortable when being surrounded by so many people. Chu Yuan said nervously, “Six… Sixteen…” After thinking about it, she added, “I will be seventeen years old soon.”
“Seventeen years old?” Gao Dahai stroked his chin and said, “that’s still a minor…”
Both married and unmarried men looked at me with envy and jealousy. The married women shook their heads and sighed as if they felt sorry for Chu Yuan. The unmarried women showed contempt or disappointment towards me… ‘Damn you all, what are you guys thinking!’ I was speechless. !
But what I didn’t expect was that the little culprit who caused all this commotion was still trying to please Chu Yuan, “Little Mommy, you are really really pretty today, and you look like a pretty bride for daddy.”
“Kang Kang, how many times have I told you not to give people strange nicknames, do you understand?” Elder Sister Liu finally came out. She pinched Kang Kang’s cheek lightly and smiled at everyone, “you all know that she likes to give people strange nicknames. So don’t take her words seriously. This is Chu Nan’s little sister. Hi, Yuan Yuan, do you still remember me?”
“Hello, Aunt Liu.”
Everyone immediately showed an embarrassed expression. Obviously, because of too much negative news about me recently, my image had plummeted in their mind. Seeing a girl holding my arm when I appeared in the office, they all instinctively thought that she was my new girlfriend…
“This is your little sister?” Qin Lan still couldn’t believe it, “Seriously? She is so beautiful, but you…”
“What about me?” I deliberately scowled at her, expressing my dissatisfaction.
Qin Lan glanced at Mo Fei inexplicably, then smiled suddenly, “you are also very handsome, but… You two don’t look like siblings at all…”
I knew that Qin Lan didn’t say those words on purpose, and it was not the first time that Chu Yuan and I heard others say this, but every time we heard someone say this, there was a trace of unpleasant feeling in our hearts.
Do we really not look like siblings to other people?
. . .
“How is your recovery?” Mo Fei called me to the office, insisting that I sit in her chair, while she herself was standing in front of me leaning against the table.
I was not used to her ‘enthusiasm’. I always felt that there were nails hidden under the soft leather cushion, making me fidget in her chair, “the wound is almost healed… I mean… I think it is better for you to sit here. It feels very awkward.”
Mo Fei pressed my shoulders with both hands to prevent me from standing up, frowning, and said, “how is it awkward? Is this seat uncomfortable?”
“It’s not that the seat is uncomfortable, it’s just that I feel uncomfortable sitting in this chair. You are the boss, and I am the employee. Why would the employee sit down when the boss is standing? Not to mention that the employee is sitting in the boss’ seat.”
“Then I… sit on your lap?” Mo Fei blushed, the playfulness in her tone made it sound like she was joking, but her eyes looked very serious. She was obviously not used to saying such coquettish words. Her voice was like a mosquito, it was slightly trembling. Her hands were grabbing the hem of her clothes tightly as if she would sit down immediately if I nodded.
My heart was beating faster. I pretended to be ignorant and thought that Mo Fei was just joking, “You can sit, and I just need to stand… By the way, where do other chairs go? Why don’t you have any chairs for guests?”
Mo Fei still refused to let me get up. She looked at me sadly and said, “After you left last Friday, I asked people to move out the sofas and chairs here.”
“Why?”
“I thought you wouldn’t come back. Since no one would come to this office to chat with me, why do I need those sofas and chairs…”
Her eyes rippled with grievances and her delicate face was very cold. Mo Fei was both a complicated and simple woman. She was contradictory and direct. I felt that I was unworthy of being the source of her sadness, so I continued to pretend to be dumb and said, “how can no one chat with you? What about Song Jia and Elder Sister Liu…”
“They are different!”
