Chapter 381: A brotherly race

At home, the three brothers swept into the house like a hurricane. Two in particular, Chi Wei and Chi Rui arrived at the same time and they rushed into the house forcefully as each tried to out run the other and they knocked into the butler, almost pushing him down to the floor.

"Sis, don’t listen to any of them." Chi Zimo who was already ahead of them shouted while he frantically searched every corner of the house where his sister could usually be found.

"Shut up you little imp." Chi Rui responded. "Sis I am your favorite brother." He shouted boisterously.

The butler could not watch the struggle anymore as the young masters tripped one another and almost tore their clothes trying to get upstairs. They were behaving so rowdily.

"Young masters, the little miss is not home." He shouted just as they were half way up the stairs.

The trio came running back down the stairs and they surrounded the butler, "Where is she?" Chi Rui asked.

Chi Wei pulled him back and said, "Don’t tell him, I am the eldest young master of the house."

Chi Zimo would not be left behind. "This has nothing to do with age; the best man is the winner."

"You are not a man yet." Chi Wei responded and he and Chi Rui high fived and laughed.

"I am recording this and I am going to tell sis when I see her, you are being mean to me." Chi Zimo the little rat of the family decided to take advantage of his young age just as his brothers were trying to play that same card.

He run outside the house like a kid who was running away from home.

Chi Rui and Chi Wei snickered as they watched him leave. Their younger brother’s actions were reminiscent of their childhood. Chi Zimo always run outside to find the adults if he felt cornered by the two of them.

"Is it just me or are his lips extra pouty today?" Chi Wei asked Chi Rui.

"They are definitely extra pouty; he thinks he can use his adorable pitiful looks to get Chi-Chi to give in to him." Chi Rui answered.

Chi Wei looked at Chi Rui as if he was an idiot who had forgotten their childhood. "She always does, his strategy works every time. I will not let that little schemer get his way this time."

He would chase Chi Zimo to the ends of the earth if necessary.

"Thank God he doesn’t have missing teeth anymore or we would be giving in as well." Chi Wei replied and they both laughed.

When Chi Zimo had two missing teeth at the age of seven and eight, he would pout, cry and then smile adorably that nobody in the family could say to him. Lord knows the two of them had engaged in many fights which Chi Zimo started and they had to finish because of his adorable looks.

"We should go after him." Chi Rui said.

As they were preparing to leave the house, the butler suddenly stopped them and said, "Young masters, I have a message for you all from the young miss."

Chi Wei and Chi Rui looked around as if Chi Lian would suddenly manifest in front of them.

The butler looked at his phone and he read, "My dear brothers, I knew that you would all come running home the moment you saw pictures of my new car. Sorry to disappoint you but I will not be giving it to any of you. Not even the extra pout on Chi Zimo’s lips will work this time round, every once in a while, I your sister too deserve nice things.

I like this car, I am keeping it and if you all drool over it I will have it painted pink. Can you bravely drive around in a pink car?"

"Ho." Chi Rui said.

Come to think of it, they realized that she did always give them her nice things. From childhood until now, she selflessly did nothing but give them everything. Were they being too greedy by trying to beg her for this car?

"It’s true that she gives us all the nice things she acquires usually." Chi Wei said.

"Are we bad brothers?" Chi Rui asked him.

"Ahem," the butler coughed, "There is more in her message." He scrolled down and read, "You are not bad brothers. You are just spoiled in your own way particularly by me because you have always defended me and stood by me."

Chi Wei looked around to see if someone was relaying their words to her. "How does she know what we are saying?"

"Ahem," the butler coughed. "You must be looking around now because you think someone is spying on you and relaying your words to me. Maybe they are, or maybe I know you quite well."

Chi Rui chuckled and said, "She is becoming spooky now, I am going back to work."

"Where is she anyway?" Chi Wei asked the butler one last time.

As the butler was about to say that she had gone out, Rize entered the house and said, "Your sister is on a date."

The two men were surprised to see her and one in particular was surprised and happy. He took her hand and held it.

"My Ri-Ri, what are you doing here? Not that I am not happy to see you." Chi Rui beamed with happiness.

"I am staying with you for a while." Rize answered.

Chi Wei excused himself and he left the house to give the couple some privacy while also going to look for his girlfriend.

"Why are you staying with us?" Chi Wei heard Chi Rui ask Rize as he left.

"Idiot." Chi Wei said to the cold wind.

Before asking why his girlfriend was staying he should first tell her how happy he was that she was staying with them. Then he could slide in the question about why she was here.

If he had stayed behind, he would hear Rize asking Chi Rui, "Don’t you want me here?"

Chi Rui defended himself immediately. "Baby, I want you here, if it were up to me you would live here all the time. I am just worried about what your father the emperor will think about his daughter living in her boyfriend’s house."

"He knows." She answered.

"Oh," Chi Rui replied.

"Aren’t you going to take me on a date or are you busy?" she asked.

"Not busy." Chi Rui answered. "Let’s go."

The mountain of paperwork on his desk could wait until tomorrow.
