Chapter 328: Xu Moyan Choked On Her Drink Out Of Surprise, Utterly Shocked At How Unruly Han Zhuoli Was
Wei Zilin kept his arm wrapped around her as his slender fingers continued fondling her ears; her soft earlobes felt delicate on his fingertips and he could not bear to let go of them.
“What?” Wei Zilin asked casually, seemingly unbothered.
“Don’t act stupid, I saw your latest Weibo post – both of them! You used Little Sister’s account to announce that you’re Yu Linling and talked about finally getting what you wished for. Getting what you wished for my *ss, you show off!” Han Zhuoli argued, clearly annoyed. The couple could already see him stomping his feet on the other end of the phone.
Xu Moyan covered her mouth in an attempt to suppress her laughter. She did not expect the prestigious president of Han Bang who usually seemed so cool and icy to act in such a manner.
“Who are you calling Little Sister? I’m older than you,” Wei Zilin said unhappily.
The bastard was clearly trying to use Xu Moyan to take advantage of him.
“Well, you said it yourself that you’re no longer single anymore. In that case, can’t you at least allow me to enjoy a slight advantage in seniority?” Han Zhuoli said in a pitiful tone.
“Nope, it’s a fact that I’m older than you, so where is exactly can this ‘advantage’ come from?” Wei Zilin replied without an ounce of sympathy. “In actuality, you do have an advantage. You can comfort yourself in the fact that because you’re younger than me, you don’t have to worry too much about remaining a bachelor for now.”
Han Zhuoli, “…”
Did this really count as something comforting?
Xu Moyan’s hands remained over her mouth, revealing only her eyes that were currently sparkling with joy. Slightly curved into a crescent shape, they looked sharp yet beautiful.
They seemed to be saying, “How can you bully him like this?”
Wei Zilin’s finger brushed the tip of her nose. “Besides, I posted it using Yu Linling’s account, which is already very low-key. Very few people know that I’m actually Yu Linling. If I had used my personal account, that would be a totally different case,” he continued to say to Han Zhuoli.
“Do you really think this is low-key?” Han Zhuoli finally relented to this shameless man.
“Of course. If I had posted it on my personal account, your old lady would’ve seen it and you wouldn’t be able to go home anymore,” Wei Zilin replied casually. He thought he was being considerate and thoughtful to his friend. Even after getting a girlfriend, he still took his fellow brother’s life into account and did not allow to be kicked out of the house.
On the other hand, Han Zhuoli felt that his friend was outrageous. “Oh, so according to what you’re saying, you’re doing all this because of me, huh?!”
“Am I not? If this were not the case, then I would’ve just used my personal account to post these things in the first place,” Wei Zilin answered smoothly before pausing for a second. “Are you upset that I didn’t post it using my personal account?” He lowered his head and asked Xu Moyan.
Due to the suddenness of the question and speed at which he had changed topic, when Xu Moyan turned to face him, her eyes were focused only on Wei Zilin such that she almost forgot that Han Zhuoli could still hear their conversation from the other end of the phone.
She shook her head and replied, “Of course not, didn’t you already announce that you had a girlfriend this morning? Besides, not many people know that I’m the person behind the Weibo account either. In my opinion, the fact that your friends and family know that you’re talking about me is more than enough, I don’t need you to announce it to the world.”
Wei Zilin smiled in response, and just as he was about to respond, Han Zhuoli could not help but shriek through the phone. “What? Are you on speaker now? Is Little Sister there with you right now?”
“If you continue calling her Little Sister, I’m going to call your grandmother,” Wei Zilin said cooly.
Han Zhuoli, “…”
The other end of the phone immediately went silent for a short moment as Xu Moyan got up to get a glass of water.
“Elder Sister-in-law,” Han Zhuoli called out suddenly.
Xu Moyan was gulping down her water when she heard him suddenly address her like this. Five seconds ago, he was proudly referring to her as Little Sister, but within the blink of an eye, he switched to Elder Sister-in-law. How could he falter so easily and change his mind within seconds?
Xu Moyan choked on her drink out of surprise, utterly shocked at how unruly Han Zhuoli was behaving.
Wei Zilin immediately took the glass of water from her hand and set it aside before rubbing her back to help relax her.
Seeing how Xu Moyan’s face was turning bright red from coughing too hard and that her eyes had become misty as she was close to tears, he vented his anger toward Han Zhuoli. “How can you not give us a heads up before switching your stance! Look, you made your elder sister-in-law choke on her drink.”
Xu Moyan coughed even harder when she heard Wei Zilin’s shameless words.
“Eh, Elder Sister-in-law, are you alright? Lin’zi, I’m going to call her Elder Sister-in-law from now on, but you can’t let my grandmother know. We will keep this from her as long as possible, so as a good brother of mine, don’t cast me in the fire,” Han Zhuoli added urgently.
Wei Zilin responded with a nonchalant shrug.
Xu Moyan could no longer stand Han Zhuoli’s cheekiness.
However, Han Zhuoli still continued. “You bastard, how can you be so evil? How can you just put our call on speaker mode? Even if you did, how can you simply let Moyan listen in beside you!”
To be frank, Wei Zilin himself was slightly uncomfortable with Han Zhuoli addressing Xu Moyan as Elder Sister-in-law. He just wanted to toy with him, but when he suddenly switched to calling her by her first name, it seemed too intimate.
Wei Zilin snorted. “Do you get to call her Moyan?”
In the beginning, he took small steps, and it was not until they were good friends did he take the opportunity to stop addressing her as Miss Xu.
However, Han Zhuoli was pushing it by rushing the close the distance between them from the first moment he spoke to her. How could he allow this?
“Oh my god, you’re so jealous! Moyan’s already together with you so naturally, she’s going to be friends with all of your good brothers. It’ll make her feel like an outsider if we always refer to her by her full name,” Han Zhuoli refuted.
Amused at Han Zhuoli, Xu Moyan could no longer hold in her laughter as she suddenly burst into laughter whilst in Wei Zilin’s arms. Moments ago, as Wei Zilin was being jealous and not allowing Han Zhuoli to address her as ‘Moyan’, she could feel her entire face heating up in embarrassment. Thus, she simply poked Wei Zilin lightly on the waist.
Sure enough, he was as muscular as she suspected. His body was tight and taut, with no hint of flabbiness at all.
She really… really wanted to take her time and indulge in him.
Without any clue as to what was going through Xu Moyan’s mind, Wei Zilin lowered his head and kissed the corner of Xu Moyan’s eye. Then, he replied to Han Zhuoli impatiently, “Why did you call me in the first place? We’re on a date now so can you not disturb us?”
Han Zhuoli, “…”
Even Xu Moyan began to feel sorry for him. It felt like he had been dealt tens of thousands of blows in a single phone call.
Han Zhuoli rubbed his face in exasperation. “I kindly called you to invite you and Moyan out for a gathering. At the end of the day, I’m still happy that you’re no longer single, and the other fellows and I genuinely want to celebrate with you.” This time, his tone was not as assertive as before.
Xu Moyan, “…”
Han Zhuoli was quite a character.
Beside her, Wei Zilin smiled as well. “He’s usually like this, you’ll get used to it,” he whispered to her.
“Hey! Hey! Enough now, I’m talking to you! Can you not grab every single opportunity to rub your newfound love in my face to trigger me?” Han Zhuoli was so annoyed that he had the urge to just rush straight to Wei Zilin’s home at that very second.
This person was pure evil!
“…” Wei Zilin genuinely felt that he had been falsely accused. “Who’s trying to show off? My girlfriend and I are just having a normal conversation.”
“To me, as long as someone has a girlfriend, even if they’re just standing in front of me doing nothing, they’re still flaunting their affection!” Han Zhuoli gritted his teeth.
By now, Wei Zilin was getting tired of dealing with him. He could have used the time spent talking to Han Zhuoli to relax with Xu Moyan.
“Okay, now, is there anything else that you want to say?” Wei Zilin asked as he hovered his finger above his phone screen. If there was nothing else, he was going to hang up.
Xu Moyan continued laying in Wei Zilin’s arms comfortably, the back of her head resting on his broad shoulders.
In reality, she was unbothered by the phone call. It was an extremely cold day, but although it was freezing outside, and despite the fact that the windows were covered with frost, it was as warm as spring indoors.
Moreover, the room was brightly lit up by the warm rays of sunlight as the two snuggled together.
Xu Moyan simply took in the cozy atmosphere as she listened quietly to the easy, laid-back conversation between the two friends. She was relaxed and was enjoying the moment very much.
It felt real and life-like, as if the days were just passing by slowly without any dramatic ups and downs. It was nice and satisfying.
At that moment, Xu Moyan completely forgot about her anxiousness with regards to Wei Zilin’s father’s attitude and the fear of facing his family in the future. The only thing on her mind was that they would go on to live a sweet and happy life.
Han Zhuoli’s pitiful voice sounded once again from the phone’s speaker. “Didn’t I just say? Let’s meet for dinner and bring along Moyan so everyone can bond together. You two weren’t checking the WeChat group just now while we were all discussing this.”
Instead of making the decision himself, Wei Zilin lowered his head and looked at Xu Moyan, not forgetting to cover the phone’s speaker so that Han Zhuoli would not overhear them.
In this way, if Xu Moyan did not want to go, she would not have to feel awkward rejecting then.
“What do you think? Do you want to go? If you’re nervous then we can just push it to a later date,” Wei Zilin said softly.
Xu Moyan always liked his thoughtfulness.
Thinking about it now, even when both of them were still just friends, Wei Zilin had already been so considerate and careful of her feelings. He always considered the smallest details discreetly and would never deliberately shove the fact that he was caring in her face. He was not like most guys who would proudly point out that they did everything for her good so that she would be aware of the things he had done for her and thus return the favor in the future.
Wei Zilin had never acted in that way. If she noticed his good deeds, he would be satisfied and happy, but if she missed it, he would not feel sorry either way. He just continued treating her the best possible way he could and continued taking care of her.
