His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 695 - 695 THE LITTLE DRAMA

695 THE LITTLE DRAMA

Yagi did not think before he rushed to Emi. He was a slave to his pure instinct to protect. His heart was in his throat as he reached her and pulled her into his arms, calming her as she pulled her leg out of the hole. Her brother arrived almost at the same time, but Yagi did not give him a chance.

His arms tightened around Emi, and Emi leaned into the gentle, comforting arms. As a trained martial artist, she was confident in her reflexes and response. However, she was just a little shocked by the suddenness of the floor disappearing beneath her feet.

It was like vertigo, except without the height to prepare for it.

Her heart rate rested as she was embraced by the warmth of a man she both knew and did not know. Somehow, she felt safe.

“You are alright now.” He said as he helped her stand up.

“Yeah, yeah,” She tried to gather herself.

Inei’s face darkened as he looked at the two people who were treating him like he was invisible. He reached to Emi and practically pulled her from the man with a glare. He looked at her slightly pale face and felt her cold arms.

“Are you ok?” He asked.

Emi’s mind cleared up after leaving Yagi’s arms.

.....

It was strange.

When she was being held by Yagi, she just felt like she was in a haven. She was warm and protected from the dangers of the world. It was like a cocoon that no one could penetrate, and she did not need to face the harsh reality of the world.

But when facing her eldest brother, she remembered who she was. She was not a weak little bird who needed to hide in the strong arms of a man, however delectable they were. She was smart and tough enough to deal with this creepy room.

“I am good. I was just a little rattled.” She smiled stiffly, feeling uncomfortable at her earlier dependence on Yagi.

Inei narrowed his gorgeous eyes, but he did not say a thing about her weirdness. Once again, he was worried. He understood his sister quite well, and he knew she was already in too deep. She was already showing her vulnerability to the gangster.

The question was: was this man worthy of her opening her heart or would he crush the precious gift?

The man in Inei’s thoughts spoke up again. “You are cold. Take my coat.”

Yagi was already shrugging off his expensive suit jacket to give to Emi. Inei’s contemplative face turned angry again. This man was treating him like he did not exist. But now that he thought about it, Emi was wearing little.

The physiques of people from Martial Island were hard trained and the rare material was an elixir that made them resilient in the harshest conditions, but it did not mean his sister would not feel more comfortable with a layer of warmth.

“It is fine. I have a hot body.” Emi smiled at Yagi in reassurance. Yagi was more vulnerable to hypothermia in the dropping temperatures than she was. Her body could withstand even worse torture with its strength.

The room became a little quieter and more delicate.

“Someone is overconfident.” Hu Lei said as she walked to the group. “Move aside if you are not going to focus on getting us out of this room. In case you have not noticed, the temperature is dropping with each passing minute.”

Emi realised that her words could be misinterpreted. “I meant, I have a good resistance to low temperature.”

“It is getting colder. You should take it.” Yagi had already removed his coat.

At the same time, Inei removed his fur coat. “She can wear mine.”

He did not wait for an answer as he placed the warm coat on Emi’s body. He stared at Yagi with both challenge and derision. Even though his sister had feelings for the man, he would not stand aside and let him have his way easily.

“Can you all take this little drama a little further?” Hu Lei said. “I want to inspect the hole.”

Inei was annoyed by the small woman looking at them with a contemptuous look. He could see that she did not take any of them seriously. He could not understand where she got her confidence from. The handsome man on the other side looking at the screen?

“Do not be jealous just because no one offered you a coat.” Inei could not resist reacting to the obvious scorn on her face.

Hu Lei looked at him as Emi and Yagi stepped aside before stepping near the hole. She knelt next to the hole and tapped on the watch around her wrist, and the device released a strong beam of light.

“Oh, catty. I like it.” She replied to Inei flatly as she peered into the hole. “And why should my darling feel cold because I did not bring a coat?”

Of course, Zhong Feng was not worried about her getting cold. The clothes she was wearing were from a special series he ordered for this trip. He told her they would be her ‘battle suits’. She did not check the full performance characteristics, but they were temperature regulating.

“This is interesting.” Hu Lei laughed lightly.

“Let me see.” Inei knelt next to her.

“Stick your hand in. You will love it.” Hu Lei said with a smile.

Despite the innocent smile, Inei knew nothing good could come from this woman. He took out his phone and shone a light into the hole. He could not resist sliding back. He looked at Hu Lei with a darker face than he did Yagi.

She shrugged and stood up before walking back to Zhong Feng.

“What is it?” Shi asked as he reached to help Inei stand up.

Inei accepted the help although he did not need it. “Piranhas.”

“What?” Emi asked.

“It seems there is a pool under the floor filled with large and possibly voracious piranhas,” Inei explained.

“That’s madness,” Emi exclaimed. “Who would do that?”

“Someone you do not want to mess with,” Yagi said with a warm look at her. “Be a little more careful.”

Emi nodded with sweetness on her face, effectively angering Inei again.

“Alright! We need to get out of here as soon as possible,” Hu Lei shouted. “By we, I mean me and my baby. This K-drama you have going on is not that interesting. So, I will be taking charge of this operation to break out of the prison you will create as tensions rise high.”

The three people looked at her like she was crazy, but Zhong Feng was behind her, supporting her.

“Now, please join me.” Hu Lei ordered like a demon, luring them to their death.
