Squinting her eyes, "Brother Yao, when you say the second most eligible bachelor, you don't think you are the first. Do you?"
"Hey now, just because you are married to this guy, doesn't mean he is the best, Don't be--"
before he can continue, the door to the office opened abruptly with a bang and a shrill voice came through.
"Chen Yumi, Are you out of your mind? less than 24 hours ago, you were bawling your eyes out for that Xu bastard and now you are married to another? Come here, I swear to god, today you are going to be dead." rushing towards Yumi.
Looking at Li Jing with wide eyes, Yumi ran and stood behind the sofa far away from Li Jing and was about to open her mouth, but Li Jing shouted again without giving her the chance.
"First of all, where is that jerk who married you?"
Looking at the men in the room, "Oh, You guys are here too. good, brother Yao, help me beat the bastard to death. How dare he take advantage of Yumi. I don't care even If I go to jail today. I have to see his blood."
Yichan's face was black by this point. His cousin has called him jerk, bastard and she wants to beat him to death? very well, he can't wait for her to do it.
He gritted his teeth and called her, "Li Jing"
Li Jing who was steaming from the ears looked at her brother and suddenly her expression turned into sympathy. "Brother, don't worry, this time I will make sure to help you. I will get rid of the bastard and then you can marry---"
she was cut off when Yichan gritted his teeth and said, "I am the bastard that married Yumi."
As soon as he said it, Li Jing looked at him like he grew another head and blinked her eyes repeatedly.
1...2...3.. another scream echoed in the room.
Closing his ears, Zhao Jingyao said, "Oh My god, Li Jing can you stop shouting for anything and everything? Can you just talk like the rest of the human kind."
Ignoring Zhao Jingyao, Li Jing still screaming, rushed to her cousin and hugged him, "Brother, Are you serious? you married Yumi? I am so happy I can't tell you how much I wanted this to happen. you finally got the girl of your.. mphf" , before she can spill all his secrets, Yichan put a hand to her mouth and stopped her.
when she struggled to get out of his hold, he whispered in her ear, "Li Jing, stop talking. I haven't told her anything and let it be that way. if you spill anything, I won't bat an eye to make sure you won't talk for the rest of your life. and I will personal tell aunt to send you to blind dates and I will arrange the candidates."
Li Jing eyes widened from the threat and she stopped struggling. nodding her head at her brother, she raised her hand signalling it's a promise. Only then Yichan let her go. as soon as she was out of his hold, she rushed to Yumi and hugged her tightly without saying anything.
Yumi who heard what Li Jing said about how Yichan finally got the girl, frowned. before she can ask her, Li Jing already released her and jumped, "This is by far the best decision you've made."
Turning towards Yichan, she said, "okay, we have to celebrate. Brother, I am going to bring out the most expensive wine you have here." she said clapping.
"You are late." Yichan said tipping his chin towards Zhao Jingyao.
Squinting her eyes, she strode towards Zhao Jingyao and snatched the bottle from his hands and walked towards the cabinet to fetch the wine glasses.
"Hey, I was drinking that."- Zhao Jingyao complained.
"Yeah? well, you are not as important as the bride and groom here" - she said pointing towards Yichan and Yumi.
Shaking his head, Yichan walked towards Yumi. She was very quiet. Not that she got a chance to speak at all after his spitfire cousin came in like a tornado.
"Are you okay?" - he asked Yumi.
Looking up to him, she tipped her chin towards, Zhao Jingyao and Li Jing fighting, "I have no idea what just happened. I was expecting a big lecture and some curses from Li Jing but she seemed okay , happy even. Brother Yao, he seemed upset when we first walked in, but I think he was just teasing. it's as if they are completely fine with this."
when Yichan didn't say anything in return, she turned towards him only to find him looking at her intensely, "Brother Yichan?" - she called.
Taking a deep breath, Yichan asked her, "Were you expecting them to say that us getting married was a bad idea?"
Frowning, she thought about his question for a second. was she really expecting them to say that?
"They are our friends from childhood and we have always been together. I don't think they will be against our marriage. If anything at all, Li Jing is happy that you guys are now related and not just friends. and Jingyao, he knew about Fang Chengguo. so, I think he thinks it's better me than him. As long as you and I don't regret the decision we made, we don't have to worry about anybody's opinion" - Yichan shrugged.
nodding her head, she looked at him and said" You are right brother Yichan. I was just overthinking."
Smiling at her, He gestured her to sit on the couch and was walking towards Zhao Jingyao when she gripped his shirt at his wrist.
When he looked at her hand and up at her, she slowly said, "Brother Yichan, You are definitely much better than Fang Chengguo and I don't regret it."
Yichan's heart skipped a beat. he was just trying to get her out of overthinking. he definitely didn't think she would say that. Yumi saying she didn't regret marrying him made him so happy.
Looking at her ears and cheeks turning red under his gaze, he smiled fondly and said, "Thank you for saying that. I don't regret it either."
