Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Lu Feng understood Nixxxie was asking about Jiang Yang and he believed she had seen him when they left to go out.

Lu Feng sat in the chair as he replied, "Don't worry, he didn't misunderstand the situation. He was just worried about you, thinking you must be in trouble that you came to me."

"Did you tell him why I am here?" Nixxxie asked.

"No, and he didn't insist me to tell him. He will wait for you to explain everything."

"It would have been better if he had misunderstood the situation and it would be easy to….."

"It's not the right way to face things, Nicky." Lu Feng interrupted her as he heard her clear, though she was mumbling it to herself.

"If he will know the truth, he will hate me anyway so it's better this way and I won't have to explain anything to him," Nixxxie countered.

Lu Feng understood what she was planning and she was trying to run away from it so that she won't have to face Jiang Yang.

"I don't know about what will happen when he will know the truth but I can assure you one thing that he would never blame you or hate you for what happened. This much I know him well. He is the most rational person I have ever seen and he is the one who never judges the things with shallow information and never draws the conclusion the way he feels right."

Nixxxie stayed silent as she agreed with what Lu Feng said and spoke, "And this the problem as one can never lie to him."

"And you should not," Lu Feng instructed as he added, "Take your time and think about it carefully. One day he will know it for sure, so prepare yourself."

Jiang Yang went back home and so many thoughts went through his mind about Nixxxie. The way she distanced herself from him for a month, he should have understood that she was going through something but he ignored it.

Something came to his mind and he called Lu Feng. Lu Feng was in the living room while Nixxxie was in the bedroom when he got the call from Jiang Yang.

"Did that bastard do something to her?" Jiang Yang asked.

"No. He won't hurt her, rest assured."

"Are you sure?"

"If he had, then he wouldn't be alive till now," said Lu Feng.

Trusting Lu Feng's words, Jiang Yang hung up the call but he had already lost peace of mind and it was impossible for him to be calm.

------

Nixxxie decided to stay with Lu Feng for a while and Jiang Yang preferred to stay away from her until she will come to him. Jiang Yuyan continued to be busy with the pile of work in the Lu Corporation and Lu Lijun was busy adjusting with his new life while adding to his hatred for certain someone.

The next night, Xi Chen was sleeping in the bed and the door of his room opened. Sensing the movement in his room, he opened his eyes and saw someone entered his room and the person was standing near the door.

Feeling scared he switched on the lights in the room by pressing the button beside his bed and what he saw next moment shocked him.

Nixxxie was standing there with the gun in her hand. She looked disturbed and scary at the same time. Her hair messy, tears rolling down from her hurt as well angry-looking eyes, the white long dress she was wearing was stained red which looked like was blood on her dress.

"Nicky! What happened to you?" Xi Cheng asked as he stood out of the bed in hurry to go to her.

"Stop there," she warned as she held the gun at her temple, "This time, the gun is not empty."

"Nicky, don't be silly. Give it to me," Xi Cheng instructed.

"Why? So that you can kill other people precious to me?" she asked as she tightened the grip of her hand on the gun and her finger started to put the pressure on the trigger.

"No. I won't kill anyone. Trust me. Just put that gun aside."

"I won't. I can't live with the blame of being a murderer. You made me a murderer and the blame of my death is on you now," Nixxxie declared.

"I didn't kill anyone because of you. Trust me. There was a different reason. Please trust me. I-I will tell you….."

"BANG!!"

"Nickyyyy!" Xi Cheng shouted as he woke up from his dream. The fear of losing her was too much for him. He could never see her hurt so seeing her dead was the nightmare for him.

Xi Cheng turned on the lights in the room and searched for Nixxxie but there was no one. He was sweating all over as he saw something that he never wished it to happen.

"Nicky!" Mumbling her name, he buried his face in his palms and realized, his eyes were teary. Because of this dream, Xi Cheng felt worried about her and wanted to go to her as soon as possible even though she will just brush him off with the hatred.

Xi Chen picked up his phone and wished to call Lu Feng but it was late and he thought to call him in the morning.

---------

The next morning, Xi Cheng called Lu Feng but he went to freshen up so Nicky happened to be in the living room who noticed Lu Feng's cellphone ringing. The moment she saw Xi Cheng's name flashing on the mobile screen, it angered her and she picked up the call.

"If you dare threaten or harm brother Feng, I will kill you," Nixxxie warned even before Xi Cheng could speak a word. Her voice was full of rage as she tightened the grip of her hand on the mobile.

Though she looked threatening, inside she was scared to think if Xi Chang would do anything to Lu Feng.

Xi Cheng could understand the reason behind her anger and maintained his calm, "I didn't call to threaten him or anything. I wanted to know how you are," Xi Cheng explained.

"You can show your fake concern to someone else you murderer and stay away from me or I don't know what I will do," Nixxxie shouted at him.

"Trust me….."

"Trust, huh? I can just hate you but trust you." Shouting she was about to hang up the call but Xi Cheng spoke again, "What can I do so that you will trust me, Nicky?"

Nixxxie stopped hearing it as she immediately answered. "Why don't you just die then, and only then I will trust you."

Saying Nixxxie hung up the call and turned around just to see Lu Feng was standing behind her a few steps back, wearing a white bathrobe.
