Chapter 155: She Doesn't like to Share

There was a sudden change in Tong Yan's face as she read the preliminary exam results for this year. She had sworn to Sun Feiyan that she would try to manipulate the results to make Shen family's representative disqualified for the next examination. What she didn't take into account was the Shen family sending a person to oversee the results, as well as the Li family.

Damn it all to hell. What should she tell Sun Feiyan now?

Tong Yan chewed on her cuticle and cursed her bad luck. She thought being one of the proctors would make it easy enough to sabotage Lu Xinyi's papers. What a hard predicament she was in!

She was to replace Lu Xinyi's papers with the one she forged earlier. But with Professor Gu and the personnel from both Li and Shen families around, she didn't get a chance to switch the papers.

Sun Feiyan endorsed her to work for Silver Leaf, and this was the first time Sun Feiyan asked for a favor. As for her real motive against this Lu Xinyi, Tong Yan had no idea.

She picked up her phone and dialed Sun Feiyan's number. After three rings, Sun Feiyan answered her call.

"Miss Sun. Forgive me, I failed this time, but we still got a chance for the practical exams," Tong Yan said, her voice tinged with worry.

There was a faint laugh on the other end of the line.

"Yanyan, why do you insist on calling me 'Miss Sun'? Didn't I tell you to call me by my name?" Sun Feiyan teased. "As for that problem, Yanyan, don't push yourself too hard. It's okay if you cannot do it. I'm not expecting you to do these things just to please me."

"Don't say that, Miss Sun. You've done so many good things for me in the past. If I could get this favor done, then I will be happy." Tong Yan drew her lower lip between her teeth. She could not afford to fail at her next attempt. She should make sure that Lu Xinyi would never dare to step in Silver Leaf ever again.

The practical test was scheduled for next week. She had enough time to set things up before the practical test starts.

Of course, Shen Yi was aware that Sun Feiyan wouldn't play nice with his wife. Even if he hadn't really met her, he could assume that Sun Feiyan didn't mean well to Lu Xinyi. Who in their sane mind would sponsor Meng Jiao if she hadn't planned to keep an eye at Lu Xinyi?

"Is there already a result? Did she pass?" Shen Xue asked excitedly. Since he and the twins were kicked out from Shen Yi's home to give way for the couple to be alone, as well as give time for Lu Xinyi to prepare for her exams, Shen Xue had been missing his Big Sis' cooking.

"Yes? Is Xin'er alright? Did she need some assistance from us?" Shen Huang added. Since this was the first time the Shen family joined the bet for the Silver Leaf's crown this year, they were all excited and eager to help Lu Xinyi in her studies.

And like a proud husband that he was, Shen Yi passed the results Qiao He gave him an hour before.

His phone vibrated, a message popping up on the screen. Although he already knew she passed, Shen Yi feigned ignorance as he picked his phone and read his wife's message. He was so proud of her. Lu Xinyi had passed her exams with flying colors and made the Shen family proud.

Lu Xinyi: Hey, handsome. You are cute. ;)

Shen Yi chuckled and turned his seat to the other side and ignored his younger brother's babbling on how he could help Lu Xinyi with taste testing if she needed a guinea pig next time.

Shen Yi: Thanks for the compliment, but you really don't have to remind me. And I'm already taken.

Lu Xinyi: I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing you with me.

Shen Yi: My wife is a jealous woman. She doesn't like to share what's hers.

Lu Xinyi: Aww, that's too sad. I wanna have a taste of you.

Shen Yi stared at her message with wide eyes. Damn this woman, what kind of lessons did Yuan Jin and Lu Xiulan give to his wife? She was getting bolder with her naughty remarks lately.

Shen Xue laughed too loud, breaking Shen Yi's reverie.

"So I see Grammie lost against you this time, Dad."

Shen Huang grinned big. This was the second time he beat his own mother at their betting game.

"I believe in Xin'er, but I didn't expect she's too good that she made it on rank 4," he bemused.

"Hey, we should think of a good gift for her." Shen Xue recommended. "What are you planning to give her?" he asked Shen Yi.

"But she hasn't passed the last part of the exam yet." Shen Huang frowned, but in his mind, he was already planning to throw a celebration party for his daughter-in-law. It wasn't every day that the Shen family participates in this kind of social functions even if they were nonsensical.

Shen Yi sat silently and thought about what Shen Xue said. Indeed, he needed to give something to his wife. An hour later, he found himself in disguise, walking through the mall with his younger brother.

"Well?" he asked. He didn't think it was a good idea to go into a public place with Shen Xue. People might be able to recognize him if they saw his brother's face.

Shen Xue shrugged, "I have no idea, bro. Look. Why don't you just ask Qiao He to go out and buy something for Big Sis? That's what most businessmen do for their wives."

"You dare to compare me to them?" Shen Yi narrowed his eyes. Of course, he wanted to give Lu Xinyi something special.
