Chapter 860 - Wife Is The Law

Ah-Si shrugged his shoulders and acted innocent as he said, "But you didn't even let me continue earlier."

"Are you saying it's my fault?" asked Xiu as her eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Ye..." Before Ah-Si could complete his 'Yes' Nora had already put her hand over his mouth and gave him a signal through her eyes.

She actually thought her boyfriend was courting death. Didn't he know that Xiu might bite him to death if he said it was really her fault? After all, who dared to tell Xiu that she was at fault?

"Ignore him," Nora tried to smile at her best friend.

"I think it's good he didn't get to finish his sentence earlier," said Han Bohai.

"Oh, really?" questioned Xiu as she turned her attention to him.

Han Bohai was completely unfazed as he said, "Otherwise, how else would we be able to see your impeccable lockpicking skills?"

Xiu pursed her lips while Nora also got curious, "Right! When did you learn it?"

Xiu was about to make an excuse when the door was pulled open and Dylan's face appeared. Xiu turned her head and screamed making everyone flinch in shock.

"What happened?" came Darren's voice.

Xiu cleared her throat as he replied, "Sorry, this uncle's face was too scary." Dylan's gritted his teeth while Xiu grasped his shirt and dragged him out of the room. After throwing him out, she stepped inside and looked around.

"What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your best friend," she replied. "Is he hiding?" She walked over to the curtains and checked, "Not behind the curtain though. Is he under the bed?" She tapped her chin thoughtfully but before she could check under the bed, Darren stopped her.

"Sweets, you just threw him out," reminded Darren.

Xiu's brows furrowed up as she looked towards the door where the others were also looking at her. She pointed at Dylan's face and asked, "Are you saying, that ugly uncle is your best friend?"

Darren pressed his lips together and nodded slightly.

Xiu clutched her stomach and went, "Pfft!"

Dylan clenched his fists as he warned her, "Stop laughing!"

Xiu gave him a look and sobered up but soon, she ended up laughing all over again. "I'm sorry, I can't help it. Although I always called you 'Uncle', today you have exceeded my expectations. Now, you're looking more like a grandpa! HAHAHA!"

"Dazi!" Dylan whined at his best friend. "Stop her already!"

Darren shrugged his shoulder, "It's between my wife and my mistress. And my wife clearly warned me that I'm supposed to never choose sides between the two. Not ever!"

"Why do you always listen to her and not me?" retorted Dylan.

"Because at home, the wife is the LAW!"

"I hate you!" said Dylan and turned to Xiu who was still having fun.

Walking over to him, she raised her hand and slapped his head; hard! That instantly made everyone look somber. She pinched his ear and rotated it making him shout in pain.

"How dare you?! Who told you to disappear and make my husband sad? Have I been too nice to you lately that you forgot what I can do?"

Dylan tried to escape her grasp and he would have been able to do it since Xiu could only use one hand but apparently taking the hint, both her little brothers held down Dylan and stopped him from struggling.

"When have you been nice to me?" Dylan screamed at her. "And now, you even got sidekicks to bully me?"

"Who are you calling sidekicks? Open your eyes and take a careful look! Those are my little brothers!"

Both Ah-Si and Han Bohai had a subtle smile on their face when they heard Xiu's words. They both were like two little brothers whipped for their sister. Forgetting all about right or wrong, they'd do anything for their sister.

"Ah-Si! We have been so close for so long!" reminded Dylan.

"But you're going against my sister," was Ah-Si's plain reply. "I told you already, my dad is strict when it comes to our sister. I can't just randomly take sides."

Dylan gave Xiu a look, "You're really something!"

Xiu smirked at him, "You already knew that! Now, are you gonna disappear again?"

"I won't!" gritted out Dylan.

"And if you ever made my husband sad again?"

"I'll be at your mercy," was Dylan's response.

Xiu was satisfied with that reply as she patted his head and signaled for the others to let him go. Then she smiled at Dylan and said, "I told you before, I'll keep our personal grudges aside as long as you cooperate with me in keeping my Regan happy. I will let this incident slide because it's your first mistake. But if this repeated again, believe it or not, I'll crush every single bone in your body!"

Saying that she walked over to Darren and jumped on the bed in satisfaction as she waved them off, "Now, you can leave. Don't show up looking like a grandpa again! Scary things would have a bad effect on my baby's development."

Dylan offered her a smile which didn't look like a smile at all as he said, "Then I suggest you stop looking in the mirror as well, KIDDO!"

"YOU!" Before Xiu's anger could burst out, Dylan stuck his tongue at her made a run for his life. Only a fool would stick around after thoroughly provoking Xiu like that.

"Tonight was fun," said Nora as she looked at Xiu. "Let's do it again some time." Then she dragged Ah-Si with her and left.

Han Bohai also looked at Xiu and gave her a smile, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Xiu nodded her head and waved at him happily, "Don't forget what I said."

Han Bohai nodded his head, "I won't forget it. I'll get back to you after talking to Ah-Ying."

Xiu hummed in reply, "I'll be waiting then." Even after the door closed, she continued to smile to herself with her eyes stuck on the closed door. As for what she was thinking, who knew?
