Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 201

Xiong Jingfei sat down on the couch, digesting the information given by Yin Yuan. It was no wonder she had a feeling there was something beyond the fenced Yang’s residence.

Yang Zheyan said that there was nothing out there for her, but was he wrong about it. It was a place meant for her!

Hidden behind the thick forest and forbidden to cross the fenced area was Lou Zeimin Capital. So that was why she couldn’t find herself looking away during her visit to the Yang residence.

Xiong Jingfei wasn’t going to wait for Yin Yuan’s return.

The Yang and Lu will refuse entry to anyone considered an outsider. They wouldn’t want an outsider to start snooping around on their private ground, a place guarded by them.

“Looks like having the title as your fiancee is useful.”

****

The door to Yang Zheyan’s bedroom opened.

“Yang-!”

Lu Weisheng’s shouted for Yang Zheyan’s name was swallowed down with the following of a high-pitched squeak.

He came bursting into Yang Zheyan’s house first thing in the morning because his freedom was hanging on a thin thread. But he didn’t think his life was the one hanging on a piece of fragile hair.

The death glare coming from Yang Zheyan immediately silenced Lu Weisheng, causing him to be unable to utter another word. He made a gesture with his hand, telling Lu Weisheng to leave the room, right now!

Lu Weisheng instantly closed the door, but he made sure to do it quietly as well. It wouldn’t do him any good to wake up the person next to Yang Zheyan. According to what Yang Zheyan’s eyes were telling him.

He bit down on his nails. Even though it happened within less than a minute, he saw it all!

Scattered on the floor were clothes belonging to a woman and man… The person sleeping next to Yang Zheyan was, without a doubt, a woman! A woman!? Who was the woman in bed with Yang Zheyan?

“Zheyan finally lost…” Lu Weisheng muttered outside the door. Then he remembered something as he pulled his hair and went down on his knees. “Is he cheating on Xiong Jingfei?”

The door cracked open again, and a voice that did not belong to Yang Zheyan said, “Are you done being dramatic?”

Lu Weisheng slowly turned his head to find Xiong Jingfei leaning against the doorframe. He sighed and gasped at the same time, the woman in Yang Zheyan’s bed was her!

What did he miss out on while he was away? It hasn’t been that many days since he left Yang Zheyan alone. Did their relationship develop to this level already? Then they did do that!

Able to read the thoughts running through Lu Weisheng’s head, Xiong Jingfei replied, “We did not do whatever you’re thinking of!”

In the middle of trying to make a stand that they didn’t do anything last night, she just had to yawn, making Lu Weisheng believe something did happen!

“Ah, forget it.” Xiong Jingfei yawned again, after only having four hours of sleep.

She spent the night racking her brains to come up with ideas on how to recreate situations from the past. Most of the ideas she can recreate were the ones with them together.

“Darling~…” Yang Zheyan coughed a couple of times. He pitifully asked, “You’re not going to leave while I’m sick, right?”

“Sick? You’re sick!?” Lu Weisheng ran past Xiong Jingfei. “You are sick!”

“There is no need to sound so excited.” Yang Zheyan’s pitiful like voice changed. He sounded like he was no longer running a fever or having a sore throat. “Why are you here? Didn’t your brother drag you home?”

“That… I…”

Lu Weisheng glanced over at Xiong Jingfei. She stared back at him, then squinted her eyes. “Darling~, I’m not leaving you anytime soon. I’ll make something for you to eat. It’s not good to be sick while on an empty stomach.”

“You are still planning to leave?” Yang Zheyan said, getting off from the bed. “I-”

“You’re overthinking it, darling~.” Xiong Jingfei pushed him on his shoulders, and he tripped over his feet, falling back down on the bed. “Be a good boy now~.”

“Y-you…” Lu Weisheng was speechless. She pushed him! She pushed the demon and lived!

Xiong Jingfei hooked her arm around Lu Weisheng. She smiled, “I’m going to need some help. Thank you for offering to help, Lu Weisheng.”

Yang Zheyan immediately sat up. He glared at Lu Weisheng for having his arms hooked around hers.

“It’s…” Lu Weisheng shook his head to deny all allegations. It wasn’t his fault, so Yang Zheyan can’t blame him! It was Xiong Jingfei who did it!

“This should be fun. Spending some alone time together with you~.” Xiong Jingfei laughed merrily, pulling him out of the room and shut the door. She exclaimed, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time!”

“Please… Please allow me to die of old age.” Lu Weisheng sobbed, having himself being dragged into the kitchen by someone much smaller than him.

In the kitchen, Xiong Jingfei finally released him. She took out a pot of soup from the fridge made by Nanny Liu last night.

While Lu Weisheng stood in a corner awkwardly, he was unsure of what she needed help with because he was a useless person in this area.

“Did you need me to grab something for you, like in places you can’t reach? Stir for you or…” Lu Weisheng rambled on, finding things for him to do in the kitchen for her.

“Are you going to stand there the entire time?” Xiong Jingfei pulled out a chair for him. He’s trying to be useful in the kitchen when he isn’t. “Sit.”

Lu Weisheng hesitated to sit down, feeling that the kindness she is showing him was a trap to get him killed. At the same time, the demon upstairs might hear him sit down on the spot his bride-to-be pulled out for him.

“I-I will sit over here.” Lu Weisheng sat down on the chair next to the one she pulled out.

Xiong Jingfei poured the porridge into a bowl and set it aside to cool down. She sat down on the chair she pulled out for Lu Weisheng.

“How have you been, Lu Weisheng?” Xiong Jingfei asked, resting her chin on her palm. She smiled at him innocently like she genuinely wanted to know how he’s been.

Lu Weisheng knew it was a trap to have sat down!

The last time she asked him this question, she disappeared without a word, and he was stuck with a terrorizing Yang Zheyan. Nothing good comes to him when Xiong Jingfei asks him this question!
