26 He Was Being Bullied

"Cough, cough..." Hui Yin busied herself with feeding the twins, almost choking on her own saliva in embarrassment. "Let's just talk about something else, Little Wuji and Baby Shang are still innocent after all."

That dummy Jiang Xu! How could he just say the word 'sex' all of a sudden?

Jiang Xu shrugged. "Your fault."

Hui Yin knew he meant that she was the one who brought up Qin Bingqing in the first place, so it was her fault. Since she couldn't completely deny it, she quickly rummaged in her mind for another topic.

"Uh...what about the company? Is it doing well?"

Although Jiang Xu had no intentions of inheriting his father's company, Hui Yin knew that he would be left without a choice in the end. He was the Jiang's only legitimate heir, since it would be a while before the twins would be of the right age to inherit. But with Jiang Xu's tendency to avoid bothersome things, Hui Yin knew he would probably argue with his father till the bitter end.

"Mmm." Finally finished with eating, he leaned back on his chair and watched as she fed the twins. "I agreed to become the CEO."

Hui Yin spat out her tea. Eyes wide, she stared at him like he was an alien. "You actually agreed?!"

For a man who had to break up with his girlfriend because he thought having sex with her was too tiring, this same man would actually be...willing to take over a company?

Since Hui Yin still had her past memories intact, she knew how difficult it was to oversee a company when she helped Lu Shen with his work during their marriage. Even though the Lu Corporation was definitely bigger than the Jiang's, Hui Yin knew that the same principles still applied.

And yet, knowing all that, he still...agreed? Hui Yin couldn't believe it.

Jiang Xu shrugged; the gesture was slow and lazy, similar with his every movement. "Not too bad."

Hui Yin was speechless. Not too bad? The dozens of documents that needed to be signed, the major deals where you had to deal with the client's countless objections, the sleepless nights...and Jiang Xu could actually say with a straight face that it was 'not too bad'?

Hui Yin gave up. Maybe it was his way of showing that he was still a man, despite his lack of interest in sex. Hui Yin could see the dark circles underneath his eyes for herself, proving that he was just trying to hide how exhausted he must really be.

"Well, congratulations." Hui Yin offered him a warm smile, feeling guilty that it took her this long to catch up with her closest friend.

Just how obsessed had she been with Lu Shen to not contact Jiang Xu at all in her past life?

"Thanks." Jiang Xu returned her smile. With his messy hair and sleepy eyes, it made Hui Yin want to pinch his cheeks.

The warm moment was broken by Little Wuji's small burp, making Hui Yin giggle. The instant she looked away, Little Wuji had a murderous expression on his face like a Shura from hell, making Jiang Xu shudder.

If looks could kill...

Then Hui Yin turned back to Little Wuji, offering him a sip of her tea. In a fraction of a second, the murderous aura dissipated, and Little Wuji had a sorrowful look, like he was being bullied...

Jiang Xu and Baby Shang stared in shock at their brother, both dumbfounded at the speed of which he changed his expression.

Fake, so fake!

Jiang Xu wanted to cry. He was actually the one who was being bullied...

After the delicious hot pot, there was a commotion outside the restaurant as the two little buns refused to leave with their brother and hugged Hui Yin's thighs like sticky rice.
