When s.h.i.+ Yi got a message from s.h.i.+ Enxi that she was in the police station, he rushed there without getting many details from her.
Upon reaching, he found out about Hen Ruying"s attempted murder towards s.h.i.+ Enxi and that s.h.i.+ Enxi filed a case against him.
s.h.i.+ Yi was furious at Hen Ruying but since everything has been taken care of by s.h.i.+ Enxi, he decided to put more charges against Hen Ruying.
No matter how much Hen Ruying denied the charges, with all of the evidence against him, he was forced to call for a lawyer.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was currently inside her brother"s car.
"Are you sure that you want to continue our dinner tonight?" s.h.i.+ Yi asked worriedly, watching his sister wear her black wig.
"I don"t want to ruin my night with you just because of that Hen Ruying." She finally turned to him after fixing her wig. She smiled and held his hand. "Here, how do I look?"
s.h.i.+ Yi"s eyes softened as he stared back at her, "Beautiful as always."
s.h.i.+ Enxi grinned happily at him, "Of course I am."
Just then, s.h.i.+ Enxi"s phone rang. It was a call from Lu Mello.
She answered her phone, "h.e.l.lo?"
"Xi"er, how are you doing?"
"I"m with my brother right now, we"re going to have dinner together."
"I see, that"s good." A soft chuckle was heard from the other line.
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips curled up into a sweet smile. Lu Mello would always check on her during the same time of the night so she has already gotten used to it.
s.h.i.+ Yi quietly watched his sister from the side. There was something different in the way she smiled and in her eyes... The look was so familiar. Could she have fallen for Lu Mello already?
"How"s your work?" s.h.i.+ Enxi asked.
"Same as usual. I will be leaving tonight for a business trip to New York."
"What? You"re leaving tonight? Why didn"t you say it to me earlier?"
"I didn"t want to disturb you in your work."
She pouted. If it was him who called her earlier, she could have made time for him. "When will you be back?"
"I will be back next week. Don"t miss me too much, okay?"
She huffed, "Who would miss you?"
"You won"t miss me?" Lu Mello"s sulking voice was heard.
"Well... Maybe a bit."
"I will miss you a lot" Lu Mello replied back.
"You can just call me like this every night." s.h.i.+ Enxi suggested.
"Instead of simple call, how about a video call?"
"Up to you." She chuckled lightly.
"Video call it is." He happily said. "By the way, have you heard? w.a.n.g Hao"s been sentenced to a lifetime in prison."
"He was? I didn"t check on the News yet." She has been busy that day that it even didn"t enter her mind.
"You don"t have to. There"s nothing interesting with the News."
s.h.i.+ Enxi lowered her head. w.a.n.g Hao was going to be transferred to one of the worst prisons soon. Lu Mello promised her that he wouldn"t have an easy life but... She wanted to see him and ask about her parents. Surely he was not the only one behind her parent"s death, right? Her guts were telling her that she should look more into it.
Lu Mello was worried since s.h.i.+ Enxi was quiet for a while. He was not there with her so he couldn"t see what kind of face she was making.
"Once I come back, I will investigate your parents" death. I will also reopen the case."
"Mello..."
"Your problems are my problems so you don"t have to do everything all by yourself. You have me now."
s.h.i.+ Enxi tightened her hold on her phone. She wasn"t planning on asking for his help but hearing his words brought comfort in her. She has already given her trust to him and he was someone, someone she was sure that would be by her side through it all.
"Thank you, Mello..."
"Anything for you, sweetheart."
She noticed that s.h.i.+ Yi was staring intensely at her which made her gulp a bit. "Um, Mello, we should end the call now."
"Alright."
"Take care on your way, okay? Call me once you arrive in NY."
"I will."
s.h.i.+ Enxi hesitated a bit since her brother was just sitting beside her but she didn"t want to end the call without saying the words she wanted to say to her husband.
She looked away and blushed, "Mello."
"Alright, alright, I"ll end the call-"
"I love you." She interrupted. She felt her heart race, it was pounding so hard that she felt that it was about to jump out of her chest. She suddenly felt her face became hot but it must be because she was blus.h.i.+ng so hard, right?
Lu Mello was surprised to hear those words from her since he didn"t expect her to say them.
"I said I love you, idiot."
Lu Mello snapped out from his thought, a smile grew on his face. "I love you too, Xi"er."
"See you later."
"Mm, yes. See you later."
After the call ended, when s.h.i.+ Enxi turned her head to look at her brother, his arms were crossed.
She raised a brow, "What?"
"This is the first time I saw you make a lot of faces in one call." He teased. He was actually glad that things were going well between his sister and Lu Mello. It looked like their marriage life was going smoothly.
s.h.i.+ Enxi pouted, her cheeks were bright red. "S-So what? I was talking to my husband."
"Ahh... I also want to get married already."
"I don"t like Weichun for you." s.h.i.+ Enxi frankly said.
s.h.i.+ Yi knew than his girlfriend and sister were not in good terms as of the moment but he was hoping that one day, they would finally get along together.
"Weichun is a cute and adorable girl! Why don"t you like her?" s.h.i.+ Yi pouted.
"Because I said so! Just marry someone else instead!"
"You have to give me a valid reason on why you don"t like her for me."
"She"s annoying."
"That"s not a valid reason."
"It is! Break up with her and find someone better!"
"I"ll do that if you break up with Lu Mello as well." s.h.i.+ Yi calmly replied.
"I can"t do that." She huffed. If she broke up with Lu Mello, all the riches she has would disappear! "I love him so I can"t leave him."
"So do I. I love Lu Weichun so I can"t leave her.
