Novel Boss
Chapter 116
Suddenly, Qiao Chuchu's phone rang.
Her heart tightened as if she had grasped a lifeline, and she quickly opened her phone.
It was a group chat with Pei Mu and Pei Ci.
Pei Ci: "Qiao Chuchu, where are you? Pei Mu and I are here. The others will be here soon."
Qiao Chuchu suddenly felt like crying.
[Finally, after waiting for so long, two of them have arrived. It's been so hard.]
Weisheng Huailing's hand, holding a box, paused, and he glanced toward the door.
Qiao Chuchu quickly scanned the walk-in closet and typed nervously: "I'm on the second floor! In Weisheng Huailing's room! Come find me ASAP!!!!"
She sent an urgent emoji.
Pei Ci: "?"
Pei Ci also sent an emoji.
Qiao Chuchu locked her phone, let out a sigh of relief, and watched as Huailing walked out of the closet carrying two shoe boxes.
She was stunned.
Weisheng Huailing walked up to her and knelt down on one knee.
Qiao Chuchu stepped back, but she was already against the door with nowhere to retreat.
Huailing opened the two shoe boxes, revealing a pair of exquisite black high heels inside.
She was caught off guard: "Why do you have high heels in your room? Are they Yu Can's?"
And they were brand new.
But as soon as she said it, she realized that Weisheng Huailing couldn't hear her.
He was focused on holding her ankle, helping her put on the high heels.
The shoes fit perfectly.
Qiao Chuchu instantly knew.
These weren't Yu Can's shoes. Yu Can was 1.7 meters tall, while she was only 1.6 meters. The sizes would have been different.
But why did he have two pairs of shoes in his room that were her size? Were they for a friend?
Huailing slipped the other shoe on her foot and compared the two, pointing to one of the velvet pointed-toe shoes.
"This one looks better, right?"
She took a closer look and nodded.
Huailing then took off the other shoe and began to put it on her.
He knelt on one knee, the other leg bent at a 90-degree angle, placing her foot on his thigh to elevate her ankle as he fastened the buckle.
Qiao Chuchu was startled: "I can do it myself!"
But Huailing couldn't hear her. He carefully tied the strap, put her foot down, switched knees, and repeated the process with the other foot.
Once both shoes were on, he looked up at her with a smile. "Do you like them?"
Qiao Chuchu quickly crouched down to help him up. "I love them! Please get up, don't catch a cold."
She felt overwhelmed by his kindness.
[Now I'm starting to wonder if I'm some kind of treasure. All the side characters I've met so far have been so nice to me. It's like a big weirdo only treats me well.]
Weisheng Huailing smiled even more enigmatically, stood up straight, and glanced at the hem of her dress.
It had come undone a little.
He said, "Your dress has a tear."
Qiao Chuchu noticed and was upset. "Oh no, it must have happened when I did a split to save Liu Liu earlier. I tore the dress."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She sighed. "Such an expensive dress, and the quality is worse than the cheap ones I used to wear."
Weisheng Huailing carefully read her lips and seemed to understand. He gently patted her shoulder. "It's okay. I have dresses in my room that are your size."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
She was confused. "Why do you have women's shoes and dresses in your room?"
Weisheng Huailing tilted his head and smiled. "I bought them for you."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
He took her hand and led her to a large wardrobe in the walk-in closet.
He opened it, revealing several evening gowns and casual outfits.
There were even shoes of various styles.
Qiao Chuchu was shocked. "All of these are for me? Why?"
Huailing smiled softly. "In case you ever come to stay here, it's always good to be prepared."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
She was baffled, thinking to herself: [Why would I stay at his place? I have my own home.]
Weisheng Huailing's eyes darkened, and his smile grew more mysterious. "Pick a dress to change into."
Qiao Chuchu nodded, staring at the dresses, feeling indecisive.
[They're all so pretty. I didn't expect Weisheng Huailing to have such good taste. It's hard to choose.]
Huailing watched her fondly as she picked out a dress. "It's okay. You can try them all on if you want."
Suddenly, the room was bathed in a soft yellow light.
Qiao Chuchu was startled and looked up at the flickering light, then turned to Huailing. "What's this?"
Huailing remained calm. "Since I can't hear, my room lights up when someone knocks on the door."
With that, he turned to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Pei Mu and Pei Ci's handsome faces appeared in front of Huailing.
The two brothers looked identical in height and features, like clones, making it hard to tell them apart.
However, there were subtle differences in their expressions.
Pei Ci was more aloof.
Pei Mu was more brooding.
They spoke in unison: "Hello, Mr. Huailing."
Weisheng Huailing's eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.
Pei Ci looked displeased, scanning the room, and raised his phone.
On the screen was a single sentence: "Is my sister in there?"
Huailing clasped his hands in front of him, smiling innocently, and stepped aside, pointing toward the walk-in closet.
Pei Ci and Pei Mu strode in. "Qiao Chuchu, we're here. Where are you?"
Qiao Chuchu hurried out of the closet, her voice cheerful. "Finally, you're here."
Weisheng Huailing quietly moved to stand beside Qiao Chuchu, watching the brothers' lips.
Pei Ci glanced at Huailing warily. "What are you doing?"
Qiao Chuchu lifted the hem of her dress. "My dress tore. Huailing has new dresses here, so I'm picking one out."
Pei Ci was taken aback and turned to Huailing. "Why does he have dresses in your size? Do they even fit?"
Qiao Chuchu glanced at Huailing. "They should. The shoes he gave me fit perfectly, and he had new shoes in my size too."
Pei Ci: "?"
Pei Mu looked at Huailing suspiciously, his eyes full of doubt.
Pei Ci felt something was off and spoke bluntly: "Weisheng Huailing, why do you have shoes and dresses in my sister's size in your room? What else do you have in there? Adult toys?"
Qiao Chuchu: "? Hey!"
Pei Mu placed a hand on Pei Ci's shoulder and smiled warmly. "What are you saying? This is Weisheng Huailing. He's just being friendly to our sister. After all, she did save Weisheng Yucan's life."
Pei Mu chuckled and turned to Huailing. "Right?"
Weisheng Huailing stood obediently beside Qiao Chuchu, pointing to his ears and shaking his head.
He couldn't hear, after all.
But then he signed something to Qiao Chuchu.
After seeing it, Qiao Chuchu's mouth twitched.
Pei Mu and Pei Ci sensed something was wrong and asked in unison: "What did he say?"
Qiao Chuchu awkwardly scratched her head. "He said he doesn't know what you need and can't hear what you're saying, but he can assure you that if you need anything, he can provide it because he has... all the tools here."
Pei Mu: "?"
Pei Ci: "?"
The brothers looked at Huailing incredulously.
Wasn't he supposed to be deaf? He was talking about tools now!
Huailing tilted his head and smiled at them.
He really couldn't hear.
Hehe~
