COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 6 Episode 94

*Ding-Dong!*

Xiang Wai was descending the stairs when she heard the doorbell. So, she simply went over to open the door. However, seeing the person outside, she momentarily blanked.

“Captain!” she only uttered after she came back to her senses.

Zhai Yanjun took off his shades and looked at her with a smile on his face, “Oh, Major!”

That was the only exchange of words they had. However, neither of them moved. Xiang Wai didn’t step aside and Zhai Yanjun couldn’t enter the house. So, he chose to just patiently wait until he was invited inside.

Looking at Xiang Wai, he couldn’t help saying, “At this moment, I’m reminded of something Saozi told me before.” Xiang Wai raised her brow at him inquisitively silently waiting for him to continue. “She said life has two sides to it like a coin. One day it’s heads and other days, the coin flips and its tails. Meaning, somedays you spend standing under the sun and the other days, you spend looking at the moon.”

“When did you become philosophical?” asked Xiang Wai as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. “And why I’m not able to understand what you really meant to say?”

Zhai Yanjun continued to smile at her, “What I mean is just yesterday I stood on that side of the door and you stood on this side of the door but today, our positions are reversed. It just gives me a weird feeling.” He took a deep breath as he added, “And I’m not the deep or philosophical one. It’s my Saozi.”

“I believe this Saozi is Raelle?” asked Xiang Wai in a strange tone.

Zhai Yanjun didn’t hesitate and nodded in response, “It’s definitely her.”

“You seem to know her well,” she commented sourly and didn’t even realize it.

But Zhai Yanjun’s dumb self also didn’t realize it as he casually said, “At least, I know her better than you for now.”

“And you seem to listen to her as well,” she added.

Zhai Yanjun nodded, “Little Fai said you can never go wrong in life if you listen to Saozi. Besides, it’s fun to listen to her. Yes, she says some extreme things but her words make you always wonder if you’ve been living the wrong way all your life. In fact, she is a very interesting person. But only if you’re strong enough to not take her truthful words to heart or else, she’ll break you badly.” He certainly looked like he could go on for an hour but he stopped and asked, “By the way, am I not invited inside?”

Xiang Wai only then realized that she had been obstructing his way. She stepped aside and allowed him to walk inside. Zhai Yanjun pulled in the bags and entered the house.

As they walked side-by-side, Xiang Wai couldn’t help asking the question that had been on her mind since last night. “You went on a blind date with Raelle?”

Zhai Yanjun paused for a moment before he resumed his pace while telling her, “Currently, I’m considered the vile enemy of the Xiang family all because I didn’t go on the blind date with Raelle. It’s true that I was supposed to have a blind date with her but I never showed up. That seems to have become the biggest dark spot of my life.” He looked at Xiang Wai and added, “Isn’t it funny though? I almost became your brother-in-law.”

Xiang Wai’s face turned ugly as she glared at him. “What nonsense! What makes you think she’d have married you?”

“What? Do you think she wouldn’t have liked me?” asked Zhai Yanjun.

“Definitely not! What’s there to like?”

He suddenly stopped and looked straight into her eyes, “Then why did you like me so much?” Xiang Wai was taken aback by this sudden question but he continued, “Ha? You can’t possibly tell me after all these years that there was never anything to like about me.”

Xiang Wai pursed her lips before spouting out, “My standards had always been low. But Raelle’s standards are high. She definitely wouldn’t have taken a fancy to you.”

Zhai Yanjun chuckled at her, “What happened? You only saw her once or twice and you’re already speaking for her? Don’t make your sister complex look so obvious.”

“Who said I have a sister complex?” Xiang Wai roared at him in anger.

Zhai Yanjun was still chuckling as he said, “It’s too obvious that you have become a sis-con. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Major, I didn’t know you were this kind of a person.”

“Yanjun!” Xiang Wai gritted out. “Stop it or I’m gonna beat you now!”

Zhai Yanjun nodded his head, “I also agree.”

“Huh?” Xiang Wai was confused when he suddenly said that. What the hell was he agreeing to now?

“I mean I also think I need a beating,” said Zhai Yanjun seriously which stunned Xiang Wai. “So, Major, find some time and I’ll allow you to beat me into a meat paste. I won’t even resist.”

“What?” she asked in a soft voice because she was still in disbelief.

“I’m not kidding. I’m very serious. I think I deserve a beating.”

Xiang Wai stared at him, “Did you injure your head somewhere?”

“No,” he replied. “I just realized that I owe you too much. But I really can’t repay you. So, I’ll be your punching bag to allow you to vent all your anger. Even if it repay whatever I owe, it’ll give me some peace of mind.”

Xiang Wai looked at him weirdly, “Yanjun, I suddenly concerned about your…” She pointed at her brain and didn’t even have to use words to let him know what she meant.

“Wai…”

“What?”

“I’m very happy right now.”

“Huh? Why?”

Zhai Yanjun’s expressions softened as he told her, “You look happier than I have ever seen you before in my life. And not just happier, you look very relaxed as well. You should spend some more time here. It’s definitely a good place for you to be at.”

Xiang Wai was left staring at his back and pondering over the words he said.. She touched her face wondering if she looked happy? She didn’t think so. Then was something wrong with his eyes along with his head? That was more likely!
