Chapter 1244 Yes, He Does
"Chief, where did you go?"
"It took me so long to find you both," said Xiang Wai too.
Raelle looked at the two of them panting and asked, "Are you done choosing your rings?"
Xiang Wai and Cloe shared a hostile look before saying, "Yeah. It's done."
"Good," was Raelle's response. "Can we leave now?" This question was for Cloe with whom she came here.
"You still remember that you came here with me? I thought you completely forgot all about me."
"If you hadn't gotten on my nerves, why would I walk away?"
"Yes, yes. It's my fault. I'm sorry. But it's my lifelong event. I want it to be memorable and perfect too."
"Do you remember how I proposed to my husband?"
"I do."
"I didn't use a ring," reminded Raelle. "And I don't think it makes a difference either."
"It's a sense of ritual, Chief!" said Cloe. "You really don't get it."
"True. It's a sense of ritual that matters. It's not the rings per se," agreed Xiang Wai with her.
"Oh, so now you are both on the same page? Who was at each other's throat earlier?" asked Raelle.
Cloe looked away while Xiang Wai touched the tip of her nose.
"It happens. Life is all about ups and downs. We can not always be on the same page with each other. But that doesn't mean we gotta stay enemies for life or something too."
"Let's get something to eat, Chief. Don't think about other things right now," said Cloe.
"She would like to eat dinner with her hubby. Who are you?" Xiang Wai was practically glaring at Raelle in dissatisfaction all because Raelle wasn't gonna eat with them. Oh, but it seemed Raelle hadn't even answered yet.
"My hubby told me to eat out today," said Raelle to everyone's surprise. "He also said to make sure to make Cloe pay too."
"I'll pay! I'll pay however you want to. Let's have dinner now!" Cloe was excited to know this. She didn't mind paying. Anyway, she was the one who called Raelle out, so she was supposed to pay for dinner at least. "By the way, Master Xian is truly okay with you having dinner with me?"
"What do you think?" asked Raelle.
Cloe muttered to herself, "I thought he was too petty for that."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Don't bad mouth my husband while I'm standing right here."
"Yes, Chief!"
"Since we are having dinner out today. Where should we go? Do you wanna eat here or should we go out to another place?" asked Xiang Weimin.
"You're coming too?" asked Cloe.
"Yes, I am. Don't worry. I won't make you pay for my meal."
"No, that's not what I meant," said Cloe in embarrassment.
"How about having a hot pot?" came Xiang Wai's suggestion. She was really the only one thinking about food seriously right now.
"It'll make us all feel smoky," said Cloe. "You sure about it?"
"Why not? It's a perfect meal to have with friends."
"In the middle of summer?"
"Who cares about the weather when it comes to hot pot? Don't be such a mood spoiler now."
"Why do you both love to argue so much?" asked Raelle. "I thought you had a pretty good bonding." She took a pause and added, "Let's go and have that hot pot."
"Really, Chief?" asked Cloe. "You? You want to have a hot pot?"
"You're asking as if I said I wanna try going to the moon."
"No, that'd be less shocking to me."
In this manner, they decided to eat hot pot together and went to the famous hot pot store which was on the fourth floor. Soon, they got a private room and sat down. Xiang Weimin consciously filled the glass of water for all the ladies around him since he was the only man stuck between them. Not that he minded considering two were his sisters and Cloe... Well, he didn't mind looking at her as a sister too since she was considered a part of their family already.
"Now, that we are sitting down," started Cloe. "Let me ask you, Wai. Which bug got to you? Why did you suddenly think of buying rings? I would have thought that you were following me if I didn't know that no one told you about us shopping for rings today."
Xiang Wai took a sip of the water and then told her, "I have to make my claim on my man. If I wanna stamp him. I gotta put a ring on it."

Cloe frowned and suddenly had a schadenfreude look on her face as she asked, "Somone is trying to steal your boyfriend?"
"Yeah. Someone is blind and an idiot too," said Xiang Wai. "So, I gotta put her in her place since she seemed to have not taken me seriously the last time."
"Someone didn't take Major Xiang Wai seriously? What a shocker!"
"You can drop that smirk and it'd be more believable right now."
"I am not even trying to be believable right now. I am letting you know that I love this drama!"
"F^&*(@#.... Forget it!"
"Don't swear!"
"I didn't."
Cloe shook her head at her while Xiang Wai took a deep breath.
"Who is it?" asked Xiang Weimin. "Who isn't taking my sister seriously? Tell me, I'll take care of it for you."
"I can handle it, Ge," said Xiang Wai. "And if I am not able to, I'll look for you."
"You don't come looking for me until and unless it's the last resort," reminded Xiang Weimin.
Xiang Wai gave him a big grin in response, "Because I know you'd still have my back."
"Spoiled!" commented Cloe. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Xiang Wai gave her a look, "Yes, I am a spoiled sister! So what? My brother loves me. What does that have to do with others? I don't think that should be anyone's concern. That's my Ge! And he loves me!"
"Yes, he does," there was some bitterness in that comment of Cloe that Raelle could hear very clearly but she didn't join their conversation at all.
