Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 492 – Class President

Xiang Weimin looked at her face a moment longer, lost in his thoughts before he said, "Wai, you are delicate."

Xiang Wai stared at her brother's face and sneered, "Me? I'm delicate? How? I slept in the middle of a desert. I even slept in a dense forest. I even used snow as a blanket. You're telling me, I'm still delicate?"

Xiang Weimin shook his head at her, "I was talking about your heart. It's true that you're a strong person who has gone through a lot. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to advance in Special Forces. There is no doubt, you do one of the dangerous jobs. But that does not change who you are. You have always been the delicate one." His voice lowered as he added, "Or else, our parents' divorce wouldn't have affected you the way it did."

Xiang Wai went silent when she heard that. She wanted to argue but she knew there was no point in doing that. At the end of the day, the facts were clear. She really took things too hard. If she wasn't like that, she wouldn't be here in this condition right now.

"Ge, do you want to watch tv?" asked Xiang Wai and without waiting for his reply, she looked for the remote and turned on the tv for him. 

She sat cross-legged on the rug, with her back leaning against the coffee table. All he could see was the back of her head. He couldn't possibly see her expression but he knew she was avoiding talking about it again. If she had nothing to say, she'd look for anything to avoid the situation.

She shuffled through the channels and in the end, stopped on a channel where a crime drama was playing. Five minutes into the show, she tsked, "The maid is the murderer. Is it that hard to know?"

Xiang Weimin facepalmed himself, "Why don't you just quietly watch it?"

She turned her head towards him, "Ge? Do you have a different opinion?"

He shook his head, "No. I have eyes. I can also tell the maid is the murderer. But do you have to spoil the show like this? If you want to watch it, just watch it silently. Or change the channel."

Xiang Wai shrugged, "Fine. Let's check something else." But she couldn't find anything else so she stopped at a news channel. "We should just stick with the news."

*Ring!*

Xiang Weimin looked around and said, "Your phone is ringing."

"Huh?" She also looked around for her phone. "Where is it?"

"How would I know where your phone is?" asked Xiang Weimin.

"True." She stood up and followed the sound of the ringtone to find her phone in the kitchen. It was an unknown number but she still accepted the call, "Hello?"

"Hi! Is it Xiang Wai?" asked the girl from the other side.

"Yup! That's me," answered Xiang Wai. "And you are?"

"That's wonderful! I'm Tang Ping! Do you remember me?" 

Xiang Wai went through her memory before knitting her brows, "As in my high school class president, Tang Ping?"

"Oh my! You really remember!" She sounded so excited. "I thought you wouldn't remember at all."

"My memory isn't that bad," said Xiang Wai.

"Right. You have always been a bright student, how could your memory be bad." She took a pause and added, "It took me days to find your contact. But thank goodness I finally reached you."

Xiang Wai wasn't surprised that it took her days to find her contact. She didn't have any contact with her high school friends. So, there was hardly anyone who even knew where she was or what she was doing in her life.

"Is something up? Why were you looking for me?"

"Oh, oh! It's because I'm getting married!"

"Congratulations!" said Xiang Wai.

"You come and congrats me in person. That's why I'm calling you."

"About that…" Xiang Wai was hesitating.

"Don't say no. I have called all of our class. And it's been years since we haven't seen you. Please, come! That'd mean a lot to me. The wedding is in Kia City. If you are not in the city then it can't be helped. But I hope you come if you're around."

Xiang Wai thought about it for a minute before agreeing, "When? And where?"

"You're coming? Yay!" She heard the smile in her voice and found it amusing. "It's this weekend. At D.W Resort."

"Got it! I'll bring you a big red envelope."

"Haha! There is no need for that. Instead of your red envelope, I'd be looking forward to seeing you more."

"See you, Class president."

"See you soon, Class Queen!"

Xiang Wai was left chuckling even when she hung up the phone. It's been years since she last heard someone calling her Class Queen. It still sounded… strange!

Seeing her smiling like that, Xiang Weimin was surprised and asked, "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just got invited to a wedding," she told him.

"Are you going?"

"I have nothing else to do, so why not?" she replied.

Xiang Weimin nodded. "It's good. You should go. And enjoy yourself."

"Do you want to come as my plus one?"

"No," he answered decisively. "I don't like weddings."

"Neither do I," she reminded him. "But ain't I still going?"

"You go, I really don't want to."

"Suit yourself." She sat down and sighed suddenly, "Ge, but what do I have to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I have never been to a wedding before," she told him. "What am I supposed to bring apart from a red envelope? And how much money is acceptable in a red envelope?"

Xiang Weimin was stumped by her question. In all honesty, he was even less knowledgeable about this then his own sister. Even though he had gotten invited to many weddings by his colleagues, he never went. He always let his subordinate handle the matters of sending red envelopes as well. 

"I don't know."

"And here I thought my brother knows everything. What a shame!"
