230 I Do!

One of the sweetest feelings in love is the one when your loved one is possessive about you. Not in an overwhelming way but in a rightful way. As if claiming that you belong to me and I won't let others mess with you at all... Not even myself.

And that's what Xiao Zhiren was feeling inside. He didn't know that she could make him fall head over heels for her all over again with such a simple sentence. But the point was that since that simple sentence came from her, it meant everything to him. Just like her single word could hurt him, another single word could put him on cloud nine. 

As for Ru, she had already made it clear that she had a clear distinction between people who belonged to her and those who didn't. Xiao Zhiren had already entered the circle of her heart, how could she not be possessive about him? She would never let anyone hurt anyone that was close to her heart. And Xiao Zhiren was now ruling in her heart, naturally, she won't allow anyone to bring him any harm.

"Stop gawking. I know I'm deadly gorgeous." Ru's conceited self broke Xiao Zhiren's loving gaze on her face. He rolled his eyes at her helplessly. "Why are parading around me half-naked? Go and get changed."

He looked down at his upper naked body and then looked back at her with a sly smile. "Why? Are you feeling something? Is your heart beating, ba-thump, ba-thump? Or your face is heating up like a hot potato?"

"Neither. I'm getting annoyed." She replied blandly. 

"You really don't feel anything?" He asked again to reconfirm.

"Nah! I've seen better." His expression darkened at her reply and she hit his chest with her head this time, "Don't you think it's given? I grew up as a male between males. It had been obvious that I'd have seen a lot."

Xiao Zhiren couldn't even refute her words at all. She indeed grew up in different circumstances than his. But why would someone hide her own gender for so long and without any complaints? Although this question was nagging in his mind, he couldn't voice it out. 

He was about looking for a change of clothes when the sound of door-knocking caught his attention. He opened the door and found his brother smiling back at him, "Bro, why did you come up? The banquet is still going on and gammy is looking for you. Wooohoo..." Ji Syaoran's eyes fell on his naked chest and he didn't know what to say. "Sorry to disturb you. You must have been busy with the more important stuff. Don't worry, I'll handle gammy myself." 

Xiao Zhiren held the back of his neck and pulled him back. "Ran Zi, you hate using your brain. Why are you bothering now? Don't give this much trouble to your tiny little head."

Ji Syaoran rubbed his neck and said, "Now, you're abusing your right as my elder brother. How can you insult me like this? I feel hurt?"

"I'm just warning you to not spout any nonsense to grandmother." Xiao Zhiren said. "You and I both know, she'll start planning a wedding otherwise."

Ji Syaoran laughed out saying, "Bro, you say yes. Trust me, Gammy has the resources to get you hitched right here and right now!"

"Little brother, do you know what my own biggest wish is?" Ji Syaoran shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhiren for the answer. Xiao Zhiren, however, turned around and shouted, "Who wants chocolate cake?" 

"I do!" Ru's voice enthusiastic voice came back. 

Xiao Zhiren smiled and turned back to Ji Syaoran, "My biggest wish is to hear that answer from her in a chapel."

Ji Syaoran's mouth twitched and he had to bite his bottom lip to stifle his laughter. He never knew this sneaky side of his brother. "Take her to the chapel and trick her into saying those two words. I think it'll help with your misery."

Xiao Zhiren thought about his suggestion and patted his shoulder, "I never knew you're smart, Ran Zi. That's a very good idea. But..." With a look of despair, he added, "There is one small problem."

"What?"

"She'll chop me into minced meat after that." He replied making Ji Syaoran cough.

"What are you talking about?" Ru's voice startled both brothers as they turned to look at her standing behind. "And where is my chocolate cake?"

"It's coming soon." Xiao Zhiren replied. "Right, Ran Zi?" 

Getting the message, Ji Syaoran nodded in agreement. "Definitely coming right up, Queenie."

"Queenie?" Ru gave him an odd look.

"Sorry, can't bring myself to call you Sister Quinn. Something doesn't feel right with that. It's like it won't suit you at all." He replied. "So, I thought since you have a Queen like aura that demands attention, why not just call you Queenie?"

Ru's lips curled upward slightly with his answer. One thing that Ru had come to like about Syaoran was that his hate and love for people was written all over his face. He didn't even try to hide his dislike for someone. He was too honest and sincere but that evergreen smile of his was disturbing. It was like a reminder that he was keeping something painful within himself.

Ru walked past Xiao Zhiren and stood beside Ji Syaoran. "Zhiren, change your clothes before I come back." With that, she pulled the door closed from outside and looked at Ji Syaoran. "Hi, Syaoran!"

"Hello!" Ji Syaoran replied gingerly.

Ru hung her arm around his neck and made him walk with her. "Now, I heard you love your brother more than your life."

"I do. There is no doubt." Ji Syaoran answered with certainty and resolve.

"Then if someone had hurt your brother, what would you do?" She asked looking at him carefully.

Ji Syaoran's whole persona shifted as he fumed in rage, "Who dares to touch my brother?"

"Why don't we find that out?" She suggested while patting his shoulder to calm him down.

"Bro is hurt?" Ru nodded in reply. "You want to find the one who hurt him?" She nodded again without any hesitation. "But how? How are we going to find that person?"

"It's quite easy if you're on board," Ru replied with a cunning glint in her eyes.

"I'm on board. Anything for my brother." Ji Syaoran also didn't hesitate before agreeing to help. How could he hesitate?

"I like this spirit of you. Let's go now." She took him down on the elevator and only stopped when she reached her destination.

"What are we doing in the security section?" Ji Syaoran asked looking at the plaque which clearly read, 'Restricted Area.'

"You're the young master of Ji Family. This place is like a garden for you." 

"Not really. Only the family heads can enter this area." 

Ru pushed him towards the Restricted Area and as soon as he stepped over the red line, security personnel came out to block his way. Ji Syaoran looked at her as if asking, 'What are you planning to do?'

And she also replied with her eyes, 'Let me handle this.'Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Young Master Syaoran, you can't enter this area. Please leave." The head of security politely gave his advice to Ji Syaoran.

"Actually, Sir... My brother here has lost something really important and we were hoping to use the surveillance video to find that thing. We wouldn't be disturbing you if it wasn't urgent." Ru's eyes were looking straight into the security head's eyes as she spoke. As if she had put an enchantment on him he nodded.

"You can enter." The security head replied while looking at her with his unfocused eyes.

"Thank you very much." Ru dragged Ji Syaoran and walked past them.

"How did you do that? No, actually. What did you do?" Ji Syaoran was looking at her like a ghost.

"Nothing much. I've just put him under light hypnosis. He'll be fine by the time we leave." Ru's answer dumbstruck Ji Syaoran. Wasn't his brother's girlfriend, a very eccentric character? "Don't look at me like that, we have important stuff to do."

"You! You're really gusty. What if something went wrong?" 

"I have a trump card for such situations." 

"And that is?"

"Why should I tell you?" Ru shirked him away and thought to herself how she couldn't just disclose her trump card which was indeed her real identity. Now she even had her identity pendant, who would dare touch Young Master Ru?
