Are you messing with me?     

Chapter 6: Are you messing with me?

His body emitted a dangerous aura that might suffocate anyone who gets closed to him. He just sat there for a while, without moving even an inch. until the silence was broken by a mischievous voice,

"Older brother! Why is your face dark? did Lily pester you again? I heard she's sick last night!"

Caden wearing a white tuxedo suddenly asks, he smilingly walks toward Cai. Caden's face was gentle and his smile reaches his eyes, he was clearly in a good mood. He sat directly opposite him.

Heard his younger brother calling Lazuli "Lily" naturally, and remembered what she said to her nanny near the lake. Cai's face turned cold and his mood also turned sour.

That little girl is getting bold, she's not even satisfied with calling him a dog, she even wants him to scram. Cai's face went frighteningly dark, yet he still put on a very gentle smile.

"Oh..., you sound very close to her," he responds softly.

Felt the atmosphere change suddenly and even the temperature dropped a few degrees around him. Caden's smile froze on his handsome face and he shivered involuntarily.

Many thought that only he and his twin brother were the only ones who are fighting for little Zuli's affection. But they thought wrongly, that his older brother may not understand his feelings yet, but he knew that he cares for Zuli a lot. He is also very arrogant to the bones, and he will never admit that he likes someone.

Caden could only click his tongue in his heart, His older brother is already a taciturn person and his EQ is even frighteningly low, A genius indeed has its demerit.

Thinking his older brother might misunderstand his words, he forced himself to laugh.

"Not really, Little Zuli is my younger sister, how can I not dote on her?"

Nodding his head with satisfaction, Cai answered after sipping his wine.

"Mhmm, that's good that you treat her well."

He didn't further elaborate but Caden already understood, then suddenly another voice interrupted their conversation.

"Caden! there you are, I've been looking for you for a long while now. Little Zuli is already very angry, and she said that she's been calling you, why aren't you answering her calls!"

Caden: "- "

Joshua was so angry that his face is flushing, he just arrived, but Zuli is bombarding him with complaints, what did he do to get this kind of treatment? He was even tormented by the old directors of the company for almost 2 weeks just to get the chance to attend her birthday party.

'That ungrateful girl! he thought to himself.

He was extremely dissatisfied with this treatment; he wants some affection too. Who told their family to not give birth to a little princess but bulky men instead?

She would run to his twin brother if she needs anything, and she would act cutely in front of his older brother as a little wife. while he on the other hand was her only punching bag, she would only call him if she was angry with something.

Joshua wanted to continue lashing at his twin brother, but he saw his older brother from the corners of his eyes and was looking at him with interest.

Joshua's word is stuck in his throat and almost choked himself to death. He coughs violently and spoke.

"B... big brother you're here!"

Cai didn't lift his head and continued twirling the glass in his hand.

Joshua suddenly doesn't know how to breathe; this feeling of suffocating aura around them is quite familiar.

He remembered clearly when they were still young, he bought little Zuli a big panda bears out of his allowance. He told her that he is going to hand it over to her if she would kiss him on the cheeks as payment.

Little Zuli obeyed his word without hesitation and kissed him on the cheeks. She likes the big panda and is captivated by it.

He was very happy that day that sweetness is overflowing from his heart. having a little sister is a blessing indeed.

When they reached home that very day, his big brother suddenly orders him to follow him to his room. Joshua didn't get suspicious and followed his order like an idiot.

After he entered his big brother's room and was about to ask if he needed something. his big brother suddenly closed the door with a bang and beat him without even giving him a chance to speak. Since then, he didn't even dare to trick Zuli especially if his older brother is around.

'He had a bad life; he did get a kiss from Zuli but his older brother bashed him senselessly in return'

Looking at his meek twin brother at the corner, Caden felt like struggling even more. This idiot needs a good beating.

He already knew that his phone is vibrating relentlessly in his pocket, he was just afraid of answering it. What if the cat was accidentally out of the bag? he would die a horrible death.

Fishing his phone out, Caden wanted to throw this hot potato away. Seeing the hesitation in Caden's face, Cai narrowed his eyes and spoke icily.

"aren't you answering? Are you hiding something from me?"

hearing the dangerous tone of his older brother, Caden almost jumped on his seat.

He gulped visibly and respond meekly,

"I... I wouldn't dare."

Cai nodded his head indicating that he should answer the call to prove his innocence. Left with no choice. with trembling hands, Caden answered the phone. then they heard, on the other end, Zuli's half shouting and half angry voice.

"Caddy! Where are you? I thought my escort tonight is you?"

Caden almost burst into tears, this little ancestor never disappoints him even in this situation.

escort your head, can a corpse do that? he thought to himself

"Huh? When? When did I tell you that? I didn't even know about this arrangement!" Hearing this Zuli rolled her eyes

"You even bought me a very expensive bag just to get this role from my grandpa. are you messing with me? Hurry up and come here, the party is almost starting."

Caden was left speechless, he felt like coughing and had a mouth full of blood. Feeling the atmosphere around him turning cold he replied hastily.

"Ahh! what are you saying, Reese bought it, especially for you"

He didn't lie, he told his friend Reese to buy it from Milan just to bribe her. Before Zuli could even respond, Caden said apologetically.

"Father just called and said that I have to fetch them."

Turning his head lightly Caden saw Joshua's pleading eyes, He then hastily added.

"Joshua's coming with me so don't even bother asking about him"
