Plotting against each other

Back to the present, Bai Sheng wondered when he would finally meet her.

A soft sigh escaped his lips when he thought of the girl who appeared in his dreams countless times, her appearance still vivid in his mind as he wondered what reaction she would have when they meet because after she left that day, they never met again and when he finally became the president of the Bai's firm, he tried every power he has to find her but it was as if she had vanished from the surface of the heart.

Feng Xi woke up later than anyone else, when she was abroad, she didn't usually have much sleep but now that she was home, she can sleep until she is tired.

She take a look at her room properly, it was just like how she had left it five years ago.

She get out of bed and then went to brush her teeth and have a shower, she walked back into her room with a small towel wrapped around her gorgeous body, showing off her long, supple, and milky leg that can make any man have a nosebleed. She was indeed an epitome of beauty.

She opened her closet and squinted her eyes slightly when she saw the famous brand's feminine clothes that none other than her mother had prepared for her and she wondered how she would look in them.

She didn't bother to wear any of it though and she take out a pair of red denim pants she had before she went abroad, matching them with a white sweatshirt she wore a pair of white slippers, and then let her long hair down before walking outside.

Madam Feng has woken up already and breakfast has already been prepared.

The maids that saw her bow politely and she nodded at them and walked to the dining room.

"Good morning." She greeted.

"Good morning!." Everyone in the dining room answer.

"Come here and sit with me!." Madam Feng waved at her excitedly.

Feng Xi pulled out the chair beside her mom and sat down.

"Did you sleep well?" Madam Feng asked and the others also stare at her, waiting for her answer.

"Yes, I slept well, what about you, Mom?."

"I slept well like I've never before!."

"You slept earlier last night, I thought we could have a practice session before going to sleep." Feng Xun said. He can't believe that he works faster for nothing.

Madam Feng glared at him. "Shouldn't a brother protect his sister? why was it that you only want to have a fighting session with her?!"

'Isn't that when the brother is more powerful than the sister?, how the hell am I going to protect her if I can't even beat her?!' Feng Xun thought in confusion.

...Parents are really weird sometimes.

Everyone in the family was aware of Feng Xi's strength but still, they will always hold him responsible for protecting her.

"Well, maybe he will learn how to protect his sister after getting a wife." Old Madam Feng also joins in their conversation.

Feng Xun's eyes dull slightly and he hurriedly changes the topic.

"Why didn't you wear the dress mom bought for you?" he asked Feng Xi.

Feng Xi glared at him, she knew that this guy would always turn the topic on her whenever he was in trouble.

Madam Feng's eyes dull slightly when she now took notice of what Feng Xi wore.

Her husband glanced at her, worried that she would be sad.

Feng Xi smiled slightly and then came her reply.

"I thought it was better to wear those dresses when I am going out since they are too beautiful and elegant to wear at home."

Madam Feng's eyes instantly curved into two crescent moons as she nodded thoughtfully at her daughter's words.

Of course, Feng Xi wouldn't let this brother of hers go scot-free! She smirked and continued.

"I think Xun'er will understand my thoughts better when he had a girlfriend or wife, don't you think so, Grandma?."

The people at the dining table nodded at her words, Old Madam Feng glanced at her approvingly and then turn to Feng Xun and declared sternly.

"You are already twenty-five, when are you planning to get married? I will give you a day to find yourself a suitable woman or else I will arrange some blind dates for you!, I think it is time I got a grandchild."

"A day?!." Feng Xun's eyes widened and he whined cutely.

"Grandmaaaaa."

"Gosh, what an embarrassment." Madam Feng mumbled as she cut a steak for her daughter.

Feng Xun couldn't care less as he try to act cute with the empress of the house but seeing that his method is not working, he glanced at his sister viciously.

"Feng Xi is also twenty-five, why did you never try to arrange any marriage for her? or force her to date earlier? If she gets married earlier than me, you will still have a grandchild and so it is all the same thing!."

"Brat!, isn't it the older brother who should get married first, why are so shameless? and intend on getting your sister to marry first?!, ah, I wonder how you would treat your wife and that is more of the reason why you should get a wife." Feng Yao put down his chopstick and scolded.

Then he glanced at his daughter and the latter gave him a thumbs up, making him curl his lips in satisfaction and resumed eating.

Feng Xun was speechless as he witnessed the scene.

Whenever it involves his sister and him, no matter how many counterattacks he had prepared, his sister will always turn out to be the right one.

He lowered his head and concentrated on his food not ready to say anything about the marriage matter anymore, it is just like Miranda's warning, 'Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.'

Feng Xi's lips curled up when she saw the look on his face.

"Xi'er, you can't eat so small, you have become thinner already and it is good for a woman to have more meat on her body, with that you will attract many suitors." Madam Feng said dotingly as she kept putting food on Feng Xi's plate.

Feng Xun happened to look up and his eyes met Feng Xi and she smile triumphantly at him.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue with his meal.

"Mom, what about Feng Xun? you should add more food to his plate too." Feng Xi purposely said.

Madam Feng didn't bother to look at Feng Xun at all.

"Girl should eat more than a man and it is not like he didn't get hands anyway."
