Chapter 290: The Demon of The Xiang Family Does Live Up To Expectations

Xiang Chen scoffed. He then half-knelt beside Xiang Yi’s feet, lifted the hem of her trousers, and placed an ice bag on it.
Xiang Yi’s eyes widened, not because of Xiang Chen’s sneer but because of his actions…
‘Is he…taking care of me!?’
She tried to retract her feet uneasily and Xiang Chen glared at her with a threatening gaze. “Don’t move, behave yourself.”
Xiang Yi didn’t dare to move anymore and she remained seated obediently on the sofa.
Xiang Qi was still racking his brains to explain his creativity. “Xiang Chen, look, this one’s a siblings’ outfit…”
Xiang Chen remained cynical and indifferent.
‘Go on, keep trying to fool me.’
‘Watch how I’ll deal with you.’
‘Don’t think I don’t know that Xiang Yi is your muse and the source of your inspiration.’
Indeed, all of Xiang Qi’s designs were related to Xiang Yi to a certain extent. The perfect combination of his obsession with his sister and his ultimate pursuit for art had miraculously created a spark of inspiration.
Xiang Chen chuckled.
Xiang Qi was on the verge of tears and he instinctively tried to move closer to Shi Sui and hide behind him too.
“Brother Shi, save me…” he called softly.
The good-tempered Shi Sui said mellowly, “Sure…”
“Brother Shi, you’re really…” Before he could say the word ‘awesome’, he heard Shi Sui laughing. “I’m going to charge you a service fee, it’s up to you to to decide. Take it or leave it.”
“…”
‘Screw you!’
‘You really think I have to beg you, huh?’
‘Do you think I’m such a spineless person?’
‘Um, actually…I am.’
Xiang Qi said deferentially, “Yes, yes, Brother Shi, I’ll obey everything you say.”
Afterwards, Shi Sui said calmly, “The agency that Xiang Yi is signed to tends to take advantage of her all the time. Why don’t you let her be signed to Xiang Feng’s company instead? She’ll enjoy more freedom when deciding her future career path, be it withdraw from the entertainment industry or continue developing.”
Shi Sui understood that the mention of Xiang Feng would cause great displeasure to many.
As expected, Xiang Chen frowned and clipped, “What is he doing? It’s already been such a long time, why hasn’t he prepared the contract yet?”
Shi Sui chimed in, “Exactly.”
Xiang Chen exclaimed, “I’ll call him right now!”
He tossed the ice bag at Shi Sui and proceeded to call Xiang Feng with a sullen expression.
Xiang Feng, who was far away in Nancheng where it was nighttime, was woken up from his sleep by the call. He groggily answered the call from his eldest nephew, only to receive a scolding.
Xiang Feng was confused.
He was really puzzled.
…
In the living room.
Xiang Qi watched in shock as Shi Sui successfully carried out the simple ruse of distracting Xiang Chen by mentioning Xiang Feng.
‘What’s going on!?!’
‘Teach me!’
Shi Sui leaned over and meticulously iced Xiang Yi’s ankle with the ice bag.
Her fair toes were curled up and she was overwhelmed with uneasiness.
It didn’t seem like a big deal for her brother to ice her leg…
But now that Shi Sui was doing it, it seemed to feel completely different…
“Does it still hurt?” Shi Sui asked in a warm and gentle voice. In the instant that he looked up, Xiang Yi seemed to be avoiding eye contact with him.
The ambiguous tension made her heart race rapidly.
Xiang Yi cleared her throat and said, “I’m fine.”
Shi Sui asked, “Are you sure?”
After a brief moment of silence, Xiang Yi assented.
Only then did Shi Sui put away the ice pack. Seeing how uneasy she was, he chuckled and asked, “Are you that afraid of Xiang Chen? He can’t possibly eat you up.”
His original intention was to comfort Xiang Yi but he didn’t expect Xiang Yi and Xiang Qi to both widen their eyes in horror.
Xiang Qi muttered cowardly, “Big Brother… He won’t eat us up I reckon…”
Xiang Yi swallowed her saliva and said, “He…probably wouldn’t…”
The pair of siblings huddled up together while shivering in fear.
Shi Sui was speechless.
‘Indeed, Xiang Chen lives up to his title as the demon of the Xiang family.’
