25 His Woman

Unaware of Xia Jinhu's internal struggle, Xia Jiannan got down the car feeling a little bit forlorn.

It was only today that they had met, but Xia Jiannan could not bring himself to think of what would happen when Wang Rouxi was gone...

Training her eyes on Xia Jiannan, Wang Rouxi had not noticed the odd expression on Xia Jinhu's face.

She was solely focused on the man who she was supposed to protect...

Amidst the tense atmosphere, a very faint beeping sound was heard. It came from Wang Rouxi's phone.

Mission Accomplished!

Wang Rouxi was tasked to safely escort Xia Jiannan back to his home.

Now that Xia Jiannan was home, the robot-like Wang Rouxi was back to her normal self.

When Xia Jinhu saw Wang Rouxi's whole face clearly for the first time, his expression was no less than shock compared to Xia Jiannan's back then.

"Angel..."

Xia Jinhu whispered under his breath, but he immediately shook his head, "No, she's a goddess!"

Xia Jinhu was rooted on the spot. He felt surreal as he blatantly stared at Wang Rouxi with admiration in his widened eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar icy cold gaze on him. Xia Jiannan had realized that his little brother was looking at his woman!

But Xia Jinhu could not take his eyes away from Wang Rouxi!

She was like a fresh and pristine flower amongst the withered and sullied ones in the city!

Such beauty was indeed a refreshing sight...

She looked like a deity who descended from Heaven to bring calamity to Earth!

Seeing this busybody looking at his woman as if he was about to eat her up, Xia Jiannan's eyes darkened as he pinched the space between his eyebrows. The temperature around him dropped several degrees colder.

He did not even realize that he had unknowingly become possessive of Wang Rouxi!

Xia Jiannan grabbed his younger brother by the back of his collar rather harshly and dragged him away from the car.

He shut the car door closed and looked at Wang Rouxi, "Have a safe trip home!"

Xia Jiannan's cold eyes at that moment turned gentle as he looked at the beautiful woman inside the car.

"Thank you. Good night!"

Wang Rouxi smiled and nodded her head in acknowledgement as she started the car. She was oblivious that she already had the two Xia brothers wrapped around her palm.

But before she could step on the gas pedal, she seemed to have remembered something.

Turning at the backseat of her car, she grabbed a plastic bag and held it over to Xia Jiannan.

"For you."

It was the food that she had set aside while they were eating their dinner.

She realized that Xia Jiannan liked her dishes so she had considerately saved some for him to bring home.

She would just have to cook another meal course for the glutton Lu Sha. It would probably be of the same quantity.

With one last glance at Xia Jiannan, she left the Xia Family's Old Residence, thinking to herself...

'We'll see each other again soon enough.'

Watching the car getting farther and farther away until it was completely out of sight, Xia Jinhu was still in a trance.

That woman... Who is she?

Rouxi, isn't it?

'I think I found my one true lov- '

But before he could finish that thought, Xia Jinhu felt a chilling stare directed at him.

No, no, no...!

'What the hell, Xia Jinhu?!'

She's already taken!

What in the world got into him?! That's his brother's woman for goodness sake!

Shaking his head to clear his mind of those dangerous thoughts, Xia Jinhu's expression turned scared like a frightened bunny as he imagined his brother's frosty visage.

Xia Jinhu knew that if his brother got wind of what he was thinking just a while back, he would no longer be able to live his life with the hot girls in town!

Slowly...

Very slowly...

He turned his head to look at his older brother.

Sure enough!

Xia Jiannan's look made the weak-hearted Xia Jinhu cower in fear.

That ominous, icy air around him was like a thousand needles pricking Xia Jinhu's skin.

'Please have mercy! I'm still too young to die this early!'
