176 Sister-In-Law?

Xiu had to spend the next fifteen minutes trying to convince Darren that she was okay. And after talking to him, she figured why Dylan was wearing the same clothes as last night and looked disheveled. Apparently, Darren\'s been trying to contact her from last night but when he couldn\'t, he disturbed Dylan\'s sleep.

Poor Dylan had to wake up at dawn and look for Xiu everywhere. And the worst part was Darren\'s been constantly blaming him for being irresponsible since he even managed to lose a twenty-three-year-old.

"Why are you in the hospital?" asked Darren and chewed on his nails anxiously.

"Um... About that..." Xiu tried to think of something and said, "Well, it seems I was overworked. Yes, that\'s it. You know how I\'ve been running around all day, it exhausted me."

Darren stayed silent for a minute before saying, "Give the phone to Dylan."

Xiu frowned but passed the phone back to Dylan. And just as Dylan placed the phone against his ear, his expressions shifted from pale to the look of horror. "I understand. Don\'t worry, I\'ll do as you said." Xiu only heard Dylan\'s reply and secretly felt really happy seeing Dylan in a difficult situation.

"What did he say?" asked Xiu only to irk Dylan and it worked.

Dylan glared at her hatefully and started, "You! You\'re real trouble! I was right about you all along. My own best friend is saying that it\'s my fault that you\'re in the hospital. He said I\'m an irresponsible boss for abusing my power." Xiu pursed her lips and rubbed her nose feeling guilty. "He also said that as my executive assistant, it might be your responsibility to listen to me from 9 to 5 but after that, I have to listen to you. Because as long as he\'s not around, you\'re my responsibility."

Xiu was amused to learn about her new superpower - making Dylan dance at her fingertips. She couldn\'t hide the evil smirk. "Little Didi, go get something to eat. This sister-in-law is feeling a little hungry."

Dylan\'s jaw hit the floor and he had to hold the side of her bed to support his body as he looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law? Aren\'t you really eager?"

Xiu touched her head and said, "I told you little Didi, I\'m permanent. I ain\'t going nowhere. You better get used to me."

"You!" Dylan gritted out in a loud voice but a little helplessly as well.

"You better not raise your voice at her again," came a voice from behind him and only then Dylan turned around to notice the two brothers standing in the same posture with their arms crossed before their chest in an intimidating way.

Xin Xiaosi was the first one to speak as he said, "I like this little sister, so you better watch your tone around her, Hedi."

"Besides, she is a patient and the doctor clearly said to let her rest," added Xin Xiaoli in defense and added, "And by the way, Hedi I never expected you to be such a person."

"What did I do?" Dylan looked at Xin Xiaoli and questioned.

"She was so worried that you\'d yell at her for not completing her duty," said Xin Xiaoli and Dylan looked at Xiu who in turn lowered her head, played with her fingers acting as the epitome of innocence.

Dylan resisted the urge to strangle her as he looked at Xin Xiaoli and said, "Li bro, you really need to re-evaluate this little thing. She\'s a nightmare dressed like a fairy." Then he looked at Xin Xiaosi and went on, "And you, Ah-Si, it\'s been three years since you stopped talking to me for no reason. But now, you\'re actually standing up against me for a stranger? We\'re the cousins here. She\'s not!"

"Oh, you guys are related?" asked Xiu in surprise as she tried to link Dylan with both Xin brothers and found no similarities whatsoever. "Now, I really believe that relatives come in all shapes and forms. We have no control over that."

"We\'re not related by blood," Xin Xiaoli was the only one who felt the need to explain that before he coughed awkwardly and said, "Nevermind. It\'s complicated anyway." Then he took another brief pause before saying to Xiu, "You should call your family as well. They must be worried."

Xiu looked at him weirdly before saying, "Don\'t have a family. My mother died when I was in high school and I don\'t know whether my dad is alive or dead."

The three boys looked at her with a complicated look making her feel strange. "You don\'t have a family?" asked Dylan.

"Nope. Didn\'t you know that already?"

"I didn\'t know that," said Dylan softly, mostly to himself. "No wonder you\'re always looking for trouble. I guess it helps in filling up the void in your life." Dylan thought to himself as he stared at Xiu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Pizza!" said Xiu excitedly.

"You\'re a patient, I think red bean porridge is a better option," replied Dylan which made Xiu\'s excitement to fly away.

"Evildoer!" she cursed him with a sad look. "If you kept going against me like that I\'ll curse you to be single for the rest of your life!"

Dylan looked at her wild cat expression and touched her head gently as he said, "I\'m already planning on staying single for the rest of my life."

Xiu didn\'t pay attention to him and turned to Xin Xiaoli saying, "Li brother, you can leave now. Since he\'s here, I\'ll be fine. You met your brother after a long time, you guys should head back home."

Xin Xiaoli looked at his brother who stayed quiet in response and he said, "Okay. Take care of yourself then." He looked at Dylan and added, "You better be at your best behavior. She\'s a very special young lady. Don\'t raise your voice again."

"Yes, sir!" replied Dylan in all seriousness.

When they both left, Dylan looked at Xiu wondering about something. "What are you looking at?" she asked in annoyance.

"I\'m trying to understand, I thought you\'re the most hated person in my company and yet everyone around me falls for your charms at the very first meeting. I have never seen Ah-Si or Li bro being protective of someone other than each other." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and added, "What spell do you use?"

"A great wizard never reveals his tricks," said Xiu with her lips perked up in an arc. "Leave everything else and please, change out of those clothes. You\'re ruining my reputation by looking like a junkie."

"No one will call you mute if you stayed quiet for a minute," said Dylan before walking out of her hospital room.

When Dylan left, Xiu was secretly feeling really happy. Even though she always was at odds with her him, she could see that he was genuinely worried about her. He really was like a kid.Please go to
