Chapter 214 - Si ying being misunderstood

"What was Sophie doing here?"

"And what did she tell you?"

"Did Dad send her here to keep an eye on me?"

Mai Yuerui was panicking inside. As soon as she got inside the car she bursted out at Kong Xianwang with bunch of questions.

"Calm down. Calm down. You are thinking too much." Xianwang said as his gaze was fixed on the road.

"Then why did she come here? Tell me."

"She came here because of this." Xianwang replied as he pulled out here door keys from his pocket.

"My house keys? How did she get them?" Mai Yuerui replied as she snatched them right away from Kong Xianwang.

"My... My... You seem like a smart person all the time. But sometimes you can be a dumb-headed as well. Tch... Tch... Tch... You gave her the keys to lock the door for you, remember?" Kong Xianwang couldn't help teasing her as he looked at her dumbfounded face.

"Stop teasing me and concentrate on driving or else we may lose our lives." Mai Yuerui squeezed her nose while looking at him as she spatted out her words.

"I don't wanna die this early. I wanna have a loooong life with you." Kong Xianwang replied as he stole a glance from her.

'Do you wanna die!' Mai Yuerui couldn't but think as she was dying from cringe inside.

But has she ever spoken her mind to anyone? In the end, she decided to ignore him as she put out her earphones and put them in her ears.

"I am taking a nap. Wake me up when we reach my house." Saying so Mai Yuerui went to sleep. And like always she was lost in deep sleep in just a few minutes.

On their way back home Si ying didn't say anything to Su, so did Su.

Even though in their mind, they were happy with each other's company, but there was an awkward silence in the car.

This awkward silence.was killing Si ying, so he decided to take the initiative to break the silence.

"Umm, so Su, you are always seen with Mr. Kai. Are you two really close? I mean. Dating and all..." Si ying asked suddenly.

(Si ying again started with this question of him.)

'You act rude in front of Kai, but you always ask about him to me. Do you like him that much that you can't express it in front of him?' Su couldn't help wonder.

'I am sure about boss that he is not into man. But I am not sure about you. I am sure there is a reason why rumors about you and boss started to fool around.' Su started to give Si ying weird stares as she was thinking.

"Umm... Su? Umm sorry if I crossed the line. You don't have to answer me if you don't want to." Si ying said politely. But the was a tiny of sadness in his words.

'What? Is he sad? Is he sad because he thinks that Kai and I are together? No, I should clear this mess up.'

"Umm.. actually Si ying..." Su tried to say but Si ying stopped her.

"It's okay. I know it's not polite of me to ask you about your personal life since we don't even know that much of each other."

'Aww.... How polite of him. I would definitely hit on him if he is straight.' Su again started to fantasize.

'Darn, that Kai. How lucky he is.'

'But, wait, Kai is not into him. So I think I should clear this thing.'

Su shook her head and said, "You are thinking too much, Si ying. We hang around together because we are close friends. Beside, now that Little cat is here. So we three hang out together."

"Oh .." Si ying replied with a single word. But only he and his God know how happy he is to hear this.

"Btw, you always ask me this same question. But you never talk politely with Kai. Why is that?" Su didn't want to stress her mind anymore. So she decided to know directly from Si ying.

Ahgmm...

Si ying didn't expect to get caught like this.

He cleared his throat and replied in a nonchalant way, "Well, seeing hanging around with a guy all the time is not good for a women's image, you know."

"Huh! But I am not alone with him. Little cat is also with us. And I already told you that he is just my best friend." Su became all worked up in order to explain herself to Si ying.

'Wait a minute!' but she suddenly realized.

'Why am I explaining it to him?'

She shook her head and came straight to her point.

"Whatever. Forget about my explanation. Now tell me. Si ying, do you like kai?"

Tcchzzzzz.....

After hearing her bizarre question Si ying became so startled that he abruptly stopped the car.

Thank God there were only a few cars around. Or else they might have met any accident.

He looked at Su with utter disbelief then let out a long sigh.

After that he started the car again.

'Oh boy! Did I say something that I shouldn't have? Oh God! He must be feeling uncomfortable now. Not all people have the guts to come out.' Su thought.

Si ying didn't say a word for a couple of minutes. But he looked at Su in every couple of seconds. And by the expression on her face he knew what she was thinking.

He let out another loud sigh and suddenly parked the car beside the sidewalk.

He removed his seatbelt and turned to look at Su with a disappointing expression on his face.

"Su, I am hundred percent straight. That means I like women!"

Su was actually shocked to see this side of him.

She couldn't say anything. Only her eyes flicked twice.

Seeing her dumbfounded face, Si ying let out another small sigh and banged lightly on the steering wheel.

"I don't know what's with these women nowadays. Everytime they see any man not being in a relationship or hanging out with another man they think that that person is gay? I mean why? He can be his friend too, right?" Si ying again looked at Su only to find her stupefied face.

"Why are you not saying anything?" He asked her gently this time.

"You also doubted about me and Kai just because we hang out together, right?" Su replied with an innocent face.

Hearing her counter attack, this time it was Si ying's turn to get dumbfounded.

He kept looking at her for a while.

Suddenly there was a sweet chuckle on his face. Seeing him smile Su also started to laugh.

"I do have a point, right?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess."

"It seems we both were wrong about each other." She said.

"Yeah. I am again clarifying you that I only like women."

"Then why were you asking about Kai?" Su asked retaliating.

"I was not asking about him. I was asking about you! I was worried about you." Si ying bluntly replied.

"You were worried about me?" Su couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes..." Si ying paused a little then added slowly, "I am worried about you."

Su couldn't help turned away her gaze and looked at her lap. Then slowly muttered, "That's a relief."

"What did you say?" Si ying asked.

"Huh!"

'Did he hear me? Oh no! What should I say?'

Both Su and Si ying looked at each other as Si ying was waiting for an answer and Su was thinking of what to answer...

....

Suddenly the silence broke with the sound of Si ying's phone.

He picked up his phone and both saw what was on the screen.

'Little sister Xingtian'

Calling.....

It didn't took that much time for Kong Xianwang to reach Mai Yuerui's house.

He parked the car on the parking lot and turned towards his newly married wife only to find her sound asleep.

It seemed as if an angel is nestled on his passenger seat.

Kong Xianwang leaned on his seat and admired his wife for a while.

"She went to sleep with her glasses on." He murmured.

He took off her glasses and put them inside her bag.

Then he turned to look at his clock then again looked at her.

"Should I wake her up?" He murmured.

"Mai Yuerui?" He called her once.

But he didn't get any response.

He again called and lightly tapped her shoulder. But still didn't get any response.

"My.... My.... My little Minmin is fast asleep. It didn't take her much time to be asleep."

He gave out a light chuckle.

After that he came out of the car and went next her Mai Yuerui's door.

After opening the door he picked her up in his arms.

As soon as he carried her, Mai Yuerui hugged him naturally and made herself comfortable. As if after leaving the car seat she found her own cushion to sleep on.

Seeing her acting like a baby Kong Xianwang couldn't help but find her cute.

Thankfully the keys were still in her hand. He took her bag and the keys in one hand and locked the car with the other hand.

After that he went straight to her apartment.
