Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

"Have you knocked already?" Adelle asked the current director of CK Fashion.

Xie Xing nodded. "I knocked ten minutes ago. I tried it twice after that."

Adelle shot the door with an accusing look and sighed. There was no way Ran Xueyi would let her senior brother wait on her outside of the room without reason. Something must have happened.

"Could it be that she's still asleep?" Xie Xing frowned. "I know she's a little bit of a sleepyhead, but doesn't she have some things to do?" Then he looked askance at Ran Xueyi's manager.

Adelle smiled, trying to cover up for her artist and said, "She's on her break."

"I see." Xie Xing looked down on his wristwatch and saw that almost fifteen minutes had passed already since he arrived and stood in front of his junior sister's room.

The purpose of his visit was to formally apologize to her for what happened. It was partly his fault for letting vice director Kavin to misuse his authority and take advantage of an emergency situation that had him leave the city. Ran Xueyi was supposed to be the first person he would have to meet and ask for forgiveness, but she postponed their meeting by moving it up to a later date.

Hence, why he was there today.

Yet, his junior sister seemed to be up to something or just sleeping soundly inside her room. Should he still wait for her? Xie Xing's question was answered by the sound of the turning knob and the door opening in front of him, revealing a man so tall and handsome that it almost blinded his eyes.

​ Xie Xing: "..."

"Have I knocked on the wrong room, Miss Manager?" Xie Xing turned around to look at his junior sister's manager, who shook her head and smiled.

She replied, "Unfortunately, not."

Inwardly, Adelle was panicking and screaming out all the curse words she knew in different languages because in front of them was no one other than Song Yu Han, who was wearing a bathrobe with the lapels slightly parted to tease them with his bare chest.

Xie Xing also didn't expect that a man would open the door. He had thought that it would be Ran Xueyi and readily formed a smile but that smile slowly melted away when he saw the man across from him.

"You're Director Xie, right?" the man in a bathrobe asked.

Xie Xing blinked and said, "Yes…And you are?"

After sounding a little bit harsh, Xie Xing reformed the smile on his lips with a polite one, "Sorry, I'm worried about my junior sister so pardon me if I sounded a little bit rude. But who are you? Are you my junior sister's lover?"

Adelle clamped her mouth shut and looked at the Big Boss. She wondered how will Song Yu Han answer Director Xie.

From what she observed, the Big Boss is a big puppy filled with fermented vinegar. He treats Ran Xueyi as if she's his most precious and beloved chew toy that he would bite anyone who dared to try and take her away from him. Now that a rival has appeared, will he strike first?

However, Song Yu Han didn't answer the question pointed at him. He stepped back towards the wall and made space for them to enter and said, "Before that, won't you come in first? The air outside is a bit too cold and dirty."

Xie Xing was slightly frustrated because he didn't get his answer, but since the opposite side had already made way for them to enter, he could only comply. Anyway, he could still judge this man inside the room whether he's worthy of a lover for his junior sister.

Right now, Xie Xing had already forgotten about the apology he owed Ran Xueyi after that incident. He was extremely worried about Ran Xueyi's lovelife. After what happened with Yang Baihua, he grew wary and defensive against any man who would approach his junior sister as if she was really his little sister.

"Please take a seat while I get something for you to drink." Song Yu Han escaped the scene before anyone could say anything.

Xie Xing and Adelle were left inside the small living room that was included in the room that was reserved for them. They waited for a few minutes before Song Yu Han returned with a tray of a water pitcher and two glasses. He gently set the tray down on the coffee table and sat down, still in his bathrobe.

Despite wearing a simple and clean white bathrobe, his presence almost took up almost the entire room. He sat down on the chair with his leg on top of the other and placed both his hands on the armrest.

He then waved his hand once and said, "You might have to wait for a little bit longer. My wife is not yet done taking a shower."

Xie Xing was about to speak, but upon hearing the words that flowed out of those plump and beautiful lips, he was struck dumb and his eyes became huge like a saucer.

"W-w-w-what d-did you just s-say?!" His exclamation almost shook the entire building. "D-did you just say… Wa…W-w-w-wife?"

Never in his life did Xie Xing expect that he would suddenly develop ineloquence in his early thirties. And most definitely, he didn't think that the word 'Wife' would come out of this man's lips!

He was prepared to accept it if they were lovers. If it was for the sake of Ran Xueyi's happiness, he would gladly accept it. He would just have to do a background check on this man and see if his records were clean. If it wasn't, he would do anything to have this man break up with his junior sister and save her from any heartbreaks.

But who would have thought that his junior sister and this man had already gotten married!

Xie Xing suddenly felt faint. He grabbed the armrest for support and heard soft footfalls coming closer. When he looked up, he saw a freshly-out of the shower Ran Xueyi. Though she isn't wearing a bathrobe like that man relaxedly sitting on the side as though he was a king on his throne, the way her hair still looks wet and she was still wiping it with a dry towel, gave away the fact that the two of them took a bath together.

A few seconds later, the four adult people sat in the middle of the room. "So, you are saying that you and this man have been married for four years already."

Ran Xueyi, a towel in one hand, nodded, "Yes, Brother Xie."

Dumbfounded, Xie Xing turned his head at Song Yu Han and tentatively asked, "And you are the owner of YH Group, am I right?"

The surprised Song Yu Han, but he still nodded, "I'm surprised you know that."

"Calling you the young master of the Song family is growing too old now. I bet you wouldn't want me to call you that either, right?" Song Yu Han narrowed his eyes at him, but Xie Xing scoffed as if he was not afraid. "I know that the Song family isn't that clean and great. They are just as rotten as any prestigious family in the country. And I do hope you won't be influenced by them because if you are, I will take my junior sister away from you even if it means I would be risking my own life."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room dipped as Song Yu Han's voice sounded above a whisper, "You would try. But you will never succeed. And you know it."

The two of them stared at each other for a full minute. Ran Xueyi and Adelle expected that in the next second, fists would be thrown between them. However, Song Yu Han surprisingly flashed a smile and reached his hand out first.

"I'm glad to meet you. Please take care of me, brother-in-law."

Xie Xing cringed at that. However, he still reached and took his hand. "I'm also pleased to know that my junior sister is in good hands now."

Ran Xueyi rolled her eyes at them. Just now, they were ready to bare their claws and fangs at each other just to see who would come out on the top. Even though she knew that her brother Xie Xing was only testing Song Yu Han out, it still didn't escape her how his eyes trembled and moved to glance at her at the speed of light just to make sure that she would be there to stop Song Yu Han before anything could happen.

Xie Xing was a bold coward. He would put on a brave front but he would hide behind her back if he got the chance to do so in a fight.

He still didn't change at all. Ran Xueyi thought to herself.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Ran Xueyi grabbed one of the glasses on top of the table and poured herself water to drink. When she was about to open her lips, a stinging pain jolted her into hissing.

Both Song Yu Han and Xie Xing turned to look at her in concern.

Ran Xueyi didn't notice them and rubbed the corner of her lips with her finger.

"What happened to your lips?" Suddenly, Xie Xing questioned out of worry when he saw her strange movements.

But his abrupt and almost innocent question only made the whole room tense and awkward.
