Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 512 Getting hit on

Xiaosi looked away. "Caihong…"

Jack Si threw a pen at his head.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?"

"Hitting you. You think you are the only mature one here? Or you think that only you can understand the situation?"

"I never-"

"Then you wouldn\'t do this stupidity."

He gritted his teeth and glared at him. "This is not stupidity! I told you. Nobody would understand…Not even you."

"I am perfectly understanding it. Don\'t take me for a fool, Xiaosi," he sighed. "Anyway, this is a conversation you need to have with your wife. There are some things that only she could make you realize."

Xiaosi was alarmed. "Caihong doesn\'t know anything, right? You didn\'t open your mouth in front of her, right?"

Jack Si quickly raised his hands, denying it. "Nothing. My lips are sealed. But don\'t underestimate your wife. You know-"

His phone rang, and he squinted his eyes.

"Excuse me. I need to take this call."

Jack Si got up and turned his back. "Hello."

Xiaosi, on the other side, leaned back on his couch, tired. He shut his eyes.

I want to go home…

"Sister-in-law what?"

His eyes suddenly went wide open, and he jerked up. He blinked at Jack Si, who was frowning as he talked to someone on his call.

"Hold on, Shuang. You are being crazy," he chuckled. "Sister-in-law cannot actually…sh-she is?"

Xiaosi dashed to his side and snatched his phone.

"Hey! Can\'t you see I am talking?"

He ignored his whining and put the phone on speaker. "Shuang, what is this about Caihong? Is she in trouble?"

"Oh so it\'s Mr. Zhu, the culprit," she sneered.

Xiaosi was dumbfounded. "What? Culprit? If what?"

"Aish, Xiaosi. I never thought that you would force your wife to…"

He was baffled. "What are you talking about? You are with Caihong? Where are you two?"

"Heh. Before asking so many questions, you shouldn\'t have ignored your wife like that in the first place."

Xiaosi was about to pry further when he heard loud music from the background.

"You two…are at a pub?"

Shuang laughed. "Not just at a pub. Caihong is even flirting with the single men here."

He froze. He rapidly blinked. "Are you drunk, Shuang?"

"I am perfectly sane but not your wife. Oh, do you want me to show a video to prove it to you?"

Shuang switched to a video call. Xiaosi saw the disco lights and people all drunk and dancing on the floor.

Then he spotted Caihong, and he felt as if the earth just shook beneath him. She was seated opposite to a man, smiling and giggling at a man as she leaned closer and closer to him. The man was also clearly interested in her and was making advances.

"Where is this pub?" He asked in a cold voice.

Shuang shifted the camera and smirked. "Come on, don\'t be such a bummer. Isn\'t Caihong enjoying it so much? As a good husband, do you want to get in the way?"

Xiaosi\'s black expression was a deadly sight to see. "I will find it out myself then."

He cut the call, grabbed his coat and rushed out.

Jack Si whined. "Hey, at least give my phone back!"

—

Xiaosi arrived at the pub at lightning speed. The first thing he did was find Caihong in the crowd. She wasn\'t at the table where he had seen her seated in the video.

Anxious, he traced his gaze and found her. He froze.

Caihong was on the dance floor, dancing with a man as she laughed with him. He was the same man with whom she was having her conversation earlier.

Shuang stepped behind her and raised her brow. "Wow, your wife is so bold and cool."

He gave her a deadly stare. "Why aren\'t you stopping her?"

Shuang narrowed her eyes and threateningly took a step towards him. "You really want to ask me that, Mr. Zhu?"

His brow twitched a bit, and he promptly stepped back away from her. Shuang was scary when she looked like that.

Jack Si came behind him, huffing. "What did I miss?"

She smiled. "Nothing."

Xiaosi watched the man\'s hand approaching Caihong, and he snapped. They were so intimate that made his chest tighten with anger.

He took large strides towards the dance floor and held the man\'s wrist before he could even touch Caihong. Startled, she looked up. The neon lights shone upon Xiaosi.

"You? Why are you here?"

The man complained. "Hey buddy, what\'s your problem-"

He took his words back as Xiaosi threw a murderous glare at him. "Get. Away. From. Her."

He awkwardly smiled. "C-Chill man. We are just dancing."

"That is MY wife for your information," Xiaosi\'s low and alarming voice was enough to make the man gulp in pure fear. "Fuck off!"

Caihong frowned. "Xiaosi, why are you interfering?"

He blankly stared at her. "I am interfering?"

"Yes. I came here to enjoy myself. Why are you bothering me?"

He gritted his teeth. "You think this is enjoyment? You realize how he is looking at you?"

She raised her brow. "I do."

He stiffened. "Then why would you-"

"Enough, Xiaosi. Look, the music is so good. I don\'t want to waste my time talking with you."

She looked at the man and smiled. "It\'s alright. You don\'t need to pay any attention to him. He will-"

Xiaosi grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the crowd.

"Hey! Xiaosi What are you doing?"

He kept pulling her until they stepped out of the rowdy area and got some privacy in a corridor. He pushed her back to a pillar and asked, "Caihong, what are you doing?"

She noticed his arms trapping her with no way to go out. She folded her arms and stared at him. "Why are you so upset?"

"You are asking me? What were you doing with that man? You know he was interested in you!" He spoke through a clenched jaw, getting an urge to punch him hard.

"So? At least SOMEBODY is interested in me. My husband is too busy with his work. He doesn\'t have any time for me. He doesn\'t want to get intimate with me. So, what should I do? Mr. Zhu Xiaosi..." She leaned in and whispered. "Your wife has her needs, you know?"
