"You moron! Quickly cover the pot with its cover!" For some unknown reason, Yi Duanfang roared with rage instead of feeling sympathetic towards Chen Kexin when he saw her panicked.

　　Yi Duanfang's angry roar shocked Chen Kexin so much so that she went blank for a moment and did not realize that fire had gone onto her hand.

　　"Ah!" When Chen Kexin finally felt the pain on her hand, she dropped the pot onto the floor. She held on to her hand and immediately burst into tears.

　　Upon hearing the commotion, w.a.n.g Weixi came out from his room only to see Yi Duanfang putting a cover on the pot which was sitting on the floor, while Chen Kexin was holding on to her right hand with her left hand, her face streaked with tears.

　　The fire on the gas hob continued burning.

　　"Are you alright, dear?" w.a.n.g Weixi hurried over to Chen Kexin and held up her hand to have a good look, while he ignored the burning fire on the stove.

　　Apparently, a layer of skin on Chen Kexin's right thumb was burnt. In frenzy, she retracted her hand from w.a.n.g Wenxi's grip and turned her face away in an attempt to stop herself from crying.

　　"What happened, Dear? Are you angry?" Chen Kexin never had to endure such suffering. While w.a.n.g Weixi was filled with remorse and guilt, he was at a loss of what to do.

　　Yi Duanfang lifted the pot and set it down, turned off the stove and turned to leave. He sighed as he stole a glance at the two who remained silent.

　　As he reflected on what happened a moment ago, he was indeed too severe. Feeling a little embarra.s.sed, he said, "I am sorry, Kexin. I didn't mean to shout at you, it was just that I panicked..."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi turned around and glared at Yi Duanfang as he grumbled, "You knew Kexin didn't know what to do. I had asked that you watch her in the kitchen. What have you been doing?!"

　　Yi Duanfang stood there, feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed yet wronged. Why would you blame me for your wife's stupidity?

　　"Let me have another look at your hand, Dear. Come, I will bandage it for you." While w.a.n.g Weixi reached out to take Chen Kexin's hand, she remained turned away from him and held on to her hand, refusing to let w.a.n.g Weixi take a look at it.

　　Feeling pained, w.a.n.g Weixi said, "I am sorry, dear, it's all my fault. What's most pressing now is for me to attend to your wound first, will you?"

　　Chen Kexin shook her head in refusal. Initially, Yi Duanfang was still feeling a little guilty. However, as he witnessed Chen Kexin's childish tantrum, he was angered once again.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi remained patient as he coaxed, "Will you stop being angry, dear. Come, let me attend to your burn." As he pulled Chen Kexin towards him, she began to cry out in pain.

　　"Is it painful?" w.a.n.g Weixi blew lightly on her injured finger and led her out of the kitchen.

　　Yi Duanfang, who was left standing there was not at all happy. He was wondering to himself what he had done?!

　　After a long time, just when Yi Duanfang was about to doze off, w.a.n.g Weixi finally exited from the room, wearing a dark expression on his face.

　　Yi Duanfang sighed as if he empathized with w.a.n.g Weixi.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi sat down. "It's all your fault," he said with indifference.

　　Yi Duanfang kept silent as he looked down and played on his mobile phone. Although he was usually dramatic and talkative, he was keenly aware of w.a.n.g Weixi's personality. At this very moment, w.a.n.g Weixi was obviously infuriated. He would be digging his own grace if he were to speak up to him.

　　It made w.a.n.g Weixi's blood boil when he saw Yi Duanfang's indifferent expression. It pained him as he thought about how Chen Kexin pouted and held back her tears in the room.

　　In the rather empty living room, w.a.n.g Weixi eventually fell into silence after he made that statement. Surprisingly Yi Duanfang was not eager to take his leave on this day. He had no idea how to react to w.a.n.g Weixi's anger towards him.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi took out a cigarette and began smoking. Today had been an eventful day, although the things that happened were not major, each of them ate at w.a.n.g Weixi.

　　This silence went on for a long time before w.a.n.g Weixi finally realized how awkward it was. He sighed gently, lifted his head to look at Yi Duanfang, who was pretending to be playing with his mobile phone. "Did something happen that you have come all the here at this time?"

　　Yi Duanfang fiddled with his mobile phone in between his hands, lifted his eyes and with a monotone, he said, "What could have happened?" Anyone could tell he was trying to avert answering the question.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi knew he had been too hard on his brother a moment ago. He had been too petty. It could be because he was too protective of Chen Kexin, which was why he overreacted despite his usual calm demeanor. He cleared his throat and said, "Please don't get angry, Duanfang. I was to blame for what happened."

　　Yi Duanfang snorted upon hearing w.a.n.g Weixi's words. He crossed his legs, folded his arms and wore a childish expression on his handsome face.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi felt a sense of helplessness as he wondered how he came to be surrounded by these simpering personalities.

　　"Come on, Duanfang. This isn't something worth getting angry over since we have become sworn brothers for so many years." He thought he better speak up before Yi Duanfang got the better of him. w.a.n.g Weixi knew Yi Duanfang like the back of his hand.

　　Yi Duanfang snorted softly and his lips turned up slightly as he said with a victorious, "So you are aware of our long-time relations.h.i.+p? That this was a trivial matter? Then why did you get angry with me over one trivial matter and over this woman?"

　　A new half no doubt, being all petty and acting like a lady.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi was immediately displeased. "Alright, let's stop here. This 'one woman' is none other than my woman, who is also your sister-in-law. Shouldn't I be pained that she's injured?"

　　"What sister-in-law? Don't forget that this dear wife of yours addresses me as her elder sister. In this respect, you would be my little brother-in-law!" Yi Duanfang said with a complacent tone. He seemed to be proud of being called an elder sister, even though he was a man.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi cringed. He could not understand why a handsome young lad could possess such a twisted mind...

　　"What is that look you are giving me?!" Yi Duanfang felt little frustrated as he realized that w.a.n.g Weixi was looking at him with disdain.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi adjusted his spectacles and smiled gently, "I don't mean anything. Now can you tell me why you are here?"

　　Yi Duanfang fiddled with the fringe on his forehead and replied, "Why else am I here? I received news of your promotion to be a general manager."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

　　"Congratulation! Now you are my direct superior." Yi Duanfang pointed at w.a.n.g Weixi and smiled.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi gave a wave and said with disappointment, "Stop saying that. I was promoted because of my father-in-law's help. I am not one bit happy about it..." Yi Duanfang and he had been good brothers for many years, and for this reason, w.a.n.g Weixi would only review his true feelings when he was with Yi Duanfang.

　　Looking at w.a.n.g Weixi who looked discouraged, Yi Duanfang shook his head in helplessness. Naturally, he could empathize with his good brother. He still understood the basic instincts of a man although he was a newhalf.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi rested on the sofa in exhaustion. He laid his head backward and gradually closed his eyes.

　　"Stop brooding over this. Actually, you are more than capable to take up this position. It wouldn't have taken so long if that Zhang Wei had not interfered secretly. Why should you be bothered about how this came about, now that you are given the opportunity? What's more important is that you work hard now, and then everyone would recognize your capability." Yi Duanfang said with a serious expression, which was unlike him.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi kept silent. It was not difficult to work hard. What got him worried was that regardless of how hard he worked, he could not rid himself of people's impression of him eating off a woman.

　　As Yi Duanfang fas.h.i.+oned his hair using his phone camera, he glanced at the troubled w.a.n.g Weixi and continued, "The company owes this to you. You are merely receiving her payback. There is no need for you to feel so burdened."

　　w.a.n.g Weixi nodded as he opened his eyes and threw an playful look at Yi Duanfang. He c.o.c.ked his head to the side and said with curiosity, "Duanfang, I realized you sounded like a real man today when you talked."

　　Yi Duanfang scrunched up his face while w.a.n.g Weixi put on his signature bright smile. As w.a.n.g Weixi looked on Yi Duanfang with an innocent look, Yi Duanfang instinctively took out a bolster from behind him in a flash.

　　"You scoundrel, w.a.n.g Weixi!" Yi Duanfang roared with rage and tossed the booster at w.a.n.g Weixi.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi immediately stood up and dodged down, saying, "I meant this as a compliment! Who else would make such a comment about you!"

　　Yi Duanfang seriously felt humiliated by w.a.n.g Weixi. As he became more enraged, he stood up, picked up the bolster and frantically slammed it down on w.a.n.g Weixi.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi was sufficiently nimble to dodge Yi Duanxi's attacks. Finally, when Yi Duanfang could not get his hands on any bolster, w.a.n.g Weixi proudly said, "What else can you do?"

　　Yi Duanfang was so frustrated that he roared at w.a.n.g Weixi, saying, "You knew I hate being called a real man, w.a.n.g Weixi! Do you even know that you are humiliating me? You have bruised the pride of a newhalf!"

　　It was w.a.n.g Weixi's turn to be stunned. This guy was angry with me for calling him a real man...

　　Seeing w.a.n.g Weixi's stunned expression, Yi Duanfang ran across the room, picked up the last bolster and leaped into the air before he tossed it towards w.a.n.g Weixi as if he were shooting a basket.

　　"Boom!" it went as the bolster slammed onto w.a.n.g Weixi's face with great force.

　　Seeing that w.a.n.g Weixi was stunned, Yi Duanfang beamed and cried, "Goal!" He jumped with joy and applauded himself excitedly.

　　He looked exactly like a young wife in love, who just succeeded in poking fun at her husband. Coincidentally, Yi Duanfang had a very pretty face.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi shook his head helplessly, saying, "Dude, you just provoked my wife to anger, and now you are annoying me. You won't be able to escape from this house tonight!" w.a.n.g Weixi picked up the bolsters on the floor as he mumbled.

　　Yi Duanfang opened his eyes wider as he heard w.a.n.g Weixi. With excitement written all over his face, he said, "Are you extending an invitation, my dear? Is it because you missed me so much being unable to see me in the night for such a long time?" He let out an evil laugh which made w.a.n.g Weixi's stomach fluttered.

　　Just when w.a.n.g Weixi was about to speak again, suddenly he saw Chen Kexin opened the door to the room and walked out, looking curious.

　　Both w.a.n.g Weixi and Yi Duanfang were glued to the floor. While w.a.n.g Weixi had lulled Chen Kexin to sleep a moment ago, it had slipped his mind that all these noises he was making with Yi Duanfang would wake his darling wife.

　　Yi Duanfang hung his head and saw the plaster on Chen Kexin's hand. He moved his lips in an attempt to say something but eventually stopped himself.

　　With sleepy eyes, Chen Kexin stood there, looking innocently at the two men.

　　"Dear..." w.a.n.g Weixi had wanted to ask if they had woken her.

　　Chen Kexin turned to w.a.n.g Weixi and gave him a gentle smile. "You two have a great relations.h.i.+p." The tone in her voice made w.a.n.g Weixi uneasy.

　　w.a.n.g Weixi turned to stone in that instant.
