Chapter 737: Learned!
Xiang Huai: “?”
The black cat said seriously, “Initially, the harem of Xue Xi, who is the emperor, only has you as the queen. Now, there are powerful enemies like Jing Fei, Lu Chao, and others pampering her. Outside, there are beautiful women like Qin Shuang, Qian Zheng, and others begging for hugs. Boss, if you don’t make a move, your position as the queen will be in danger!”
“…”
The black cat continued, “Boss, you really need me, the palace advisor, to give you suggestions.”
Xiang Huai kicked it away.
Xitara the Black Cat refused to give up. In order to avoid getting booted out of the special department, it did everything it could. It turned around in midair and ran over as soon as it landed. It squatted on the sofa beside Xiang Huai. “Boss, although you’re the official wife, are you just going to watch the emperor pamper the newbie? If you don’t take precautions now, it’ll be too late when Qian Zheng becomes a capable person!”
“…”
After Qian Zheng finished complaining, she saw that the cake was not served yet, so she pulled Xue Xi up. “This cafe is really not bad. Let’s go take a look over there. There seem to be a few kittens!”
Helpless, Xue Xi could only stand up. However, halfway through, the door opened and Fang Yi and another man walked in.
Both parties happened to meet face-to-face.
Fang Yi was stunned. For some unknown reason, when she saw Xue Xi, she instinctively looked around and quickly fixed her gaze on Xiang Huai, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at a black cat in boredom.
Her eyes lit up and she became infatuated.
Xiang Huai was still dressed in black today. The sleeves of his black hoodie were rolled up, revealing his cold and fair arm. His slender fingers were tapping the table as though he was ordering the black cat.
Just as Fang Yi was about to continue looking, a figure blocked her path. Fang Yi then returned to her senses and smiled when she saw Qian Zheng. “Ms. Qian.”
The God of Fortune Group was an entity that gave salaries to the special department. It was equivalent to the finance department of the special department. No matter how arrogant Fang Yi was, she did not want to offend the finance department.
Qian Zheng pouted and nodded coldly. “Ms. Fang, remember to look where you’re going. Don’t stare at other people’s men until your eyes are about to fall out, alright?”
As she was faced with these direct and sharp words, Fang Yi’s expression changed drastically.
Qian Zheng was famous in the circle for having a bad temper. If she had to be avoided by Gu Yunqing back then, it was enough to show that she had a straightforward temper.
Fang Yi retracted her gaze and smiled. “I only know that it’s Brother Huai. He grew up with me since we were young. I don’t understand what you mean by other people’s men. Since we are both here, I’ll go greet Brother Huai and borrow him.”
Qian Zheng pouted. “Alright, I understand what you mean. You’re showing off that you grew up with my brother’s boss, but who doesn’t know that you like him and have been chasing after him, but he hasn’t even given you a glance?”
Fang Yi: “…”
This person was too direct, making her speechless.
She lowered her eyes. “Whether Brother Huai likes me or not is between him and me. The friendship we grew up with is not something that doesn’t exist just because you say so.”
After saying that, Fang Yi walked past the two of them and walked toward Xiang Huai.
Qian Zheng pouted unhappily and moved to Xue Xi’s ear. “Who doesn’t know that Fang Yi likes General Xiang?! Sister Xi, quickly, go over and declare your sovereignty!”
Just as the two of them had walked over, they saw Fang Yi putting on an elegant and generous expression. She smiled and said, “Brother Huai.”
Xiang Huai nodded and looked at the man beside Fang Yi.
Fang Yi said, “This is Xiao Hu from our special department. Didn’t he get injured by the dark organization’s special power two years ago while saving a hostage? It’s his turn to be treated today, so we arranged to meet here.”
Xiang Huai replied, “Oh.”
From the corner of her eye, Fang Yi saw Qian Zheng and Xue Xi standing beside her. She held it in and asked, “Since we met by chance, shall we sit together?”
She looked at Xiang Huai eagerly.
It had been a long time since she’d sat at the same table as him. The two of them had not spoken for a long time.
She knew that Xiang Huai was avoiding her. Hence, she did not harbor any hope when she asked this, but she did not expect—
Xiang Huai shot a glance at Xue Xi and smiled. “Sure.”
He did not reject her.
This action made Fang Yi’s eyes light up.
Immediately, she looked at Qian Zheng and Xue Xi smugly. Her eyes flickered as though she was saying, Who said that Brother Huai is hiding from me? Didn’t he agree to sit with me?
Qian Zheng was also stunned. She moved closer to Xue Xi’s ear and said, “This Fang Yi likes General Xiang! Logically speaking, he should avoid suspicion, but how can General Xiang agree to let her sit with us? Sister Xi, he’s too much! Make him kneel on the washboard when you get home!”
Xue Xi paused and replied, “There’s no washboard at home.”
Qian Zheng: “…”
Xue Xi frowned. Seeing Fang Yi beside Xiang Huai, she felt a little unhappy, but she could not explain why she was unhappy.
At this moment, the cake and coffee arrived.
Just as Qian Zheng was about to distribute the cake, a pair of slender hands reached over and took a piece of the black forest to pass to Xiang Huai. “Brother Huai, your favorite.”
Qian Zheng: “?”
Fang Yi looked at Xue Xi and explained with a smile, “Brother Huai has never liked desserts. The Black Forest is one of the few cakes he can eat. I’ve remembered this since I was young.”
The intimacy in her words made Qian Zheng even angrier. She looked at Xiang Huai and saw that he was looking at the cake in front of him. He did not accept it, but he did not reject it either.
Jerk!
Big Brother’s boss is also a jerk!
Qian Zheng looked at Xue Xi angrily. Sister Xi, you can even tolerate this?
Unexpectedly, Xue Xi stood there expressionlessly.
Xiang Huai did not answer Fang Yi. Instead, he said, “Aren’t you going to treat him first?”
Fang Yi instantly misunderstood what he meant.
That’s right. There were only four seats at this cafe table. She should quickly treat Xiao Hu’s ailment and let him leave.
Hence, Fang Yi nodded. “Okay.”
This was a corner and not many people could see it. Everyone present knew about the existence of espers, so Fang Yi did not avoid them. She reached out and intended to press on the patient’s leg.
At this moment, Xiang Huai said, “Wait a moment.”
Fang Yi stopped and looked at him in confusion.
Xiang Huai’s long and narrow eyes flickered. He gave a faint smile, but his expression made one feel a little cold. “Little kid, help her. Using your special power consumes your mental strength. Don’t fall later.”
Qian Zheng: “?”
F*ck!
You’re sidelining Sister Xi here, and you still actually want Sister Xi to support her love rival?
This was too much!
Just as she was about to flare up, Xue Xi held Fang Yi’s arm and slowly replied, “…Oh.”
Qian Zheng was about to jump!
Fang Yi was also flattered.
Brother Huai could sit with her today and get Xue Xi to help her. Indeed, he had her in his heart, right? As for Xue Xi, Brother Huai was just after something fresh.
She could not help but look at Qian Zheng provocatively. She then placed her hand on the patient’s leg and closed her eyes.
To outsiders, this simple action lasted for half a minute before Fang Yi opened her eyes. The patient’s leg had recovered.
Qian Zheng could not help but sigh at Fang Yi’s amazing treatment skills.
After Fang Yi was done, she pretended to be weak and leaned toward Xiang Huai. “Brother Huai, let me sit beside you. I have something to tell you…”
“…”
