C22 Send Someone to Get Rid of Her

"No, I truly like you. I …" Xiao Yunyi didn't want to see her feel so sad and inferior. He subconsciously opened his mouth, but discovered that he was completely unable to give her any promises. A feeling of powerlessness slowly spread from the depths of his heart.

The corners of Lan Xi's mouth curved up in a self-deprecating smile. She was actually still waiting for him to finish. Could it be that she still had some hope?

He pushed away Xiao Yunyi's arm with all his might and endured the pain from his body. He snatched the chopsticks from Xiao Yunyi's hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Cough! Cough!" He accidentally coughed. After a bit of relaxation, he continued to swallow every mouthful of food.

Lan Xi thought that she must be in a very sorry state right now.

Xiao Yunyi hurriedly passed over a cup of water. Lan Xi struggled to swallow down the food in her mouth, and pushed the man's hand away as she panted, "No need, I can …"

The atmosphere in the room was very weird. Xiao Yunyi looked at the woman who was trying to be brave, and made up his mind to protect her for the rest of her life.

Ever since Xiao Yunyi rescued Lan Xi from her killer's lair, the headlines on various websites had become:

"The successor of the Kun Peng Group falls in love with a gangster killer!"

"The successor of the Kun Peng Group bravely charged into the gang for love's sake!"

"The descendants of the Xiao clan fall in love with the assassins!"

"The property of the Xiao clan will eventually belong to the underworld!"

"…"

At this moment, within the Xiao family's residence.

An old man in a Chinese tunic was sitting on a private bamboo chair, reading a business newspaper with a great deal of air between his eyebrows.

"Butler Lu, has Yun Yi made any movements recently?" The Xiao family's old man asked slowly.

"Old master, young master, recently …"

Opposite Old Man Xiao stood a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, speaking respectfully. He was the main butler of the Xiao family, and also the father of Xiao Yunyi's secretary, Lu Zihao.

Confronted with Old Man Xiao's question, Butler Lu was clearly in a difficult position.

"Feel free to speak." Old Man Xiao's deep voice sounded.

"Rumor has it that the Young Master and a female assassin were having an ambiguous relationship. He even ventured into the underworld to rescue her." Butler Lu replied honestly.

"A gang?" This brat's wings are really hard! What dirty woman wants to enter my Xiao family's door? "Don't even think about her!" Old Man Xiao slammed his hand down on the table, splashing some of the water from his teacup onto the table.

"Old Lu, send someone to deal with this woman." Old Man Xiao's wrinkled eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.

Lan Xi had been recuperating in the villa, and her body was almost fully recovered.

She had been thinking about how she should get along with Xiao Yunyi these past few days. Since he had already confessed his feelings, it would be impossible for them to get along as naturally as before.

However, since the two of them had a three year agreement, she could only stay and keep her promise.

After finding a suitable reason to stay, Lan Xi felt much better. She felt that her body was almost better, and the weather was not bad either. It was a good time for her to go shopping.

After getting out of bed, he casually washed his face and took out a blue one-shouldered dress from the wardrobe. The simple waist design outlined Lan Xi's proud twin peaks as well as her slim figure.

"Jolin, I'm going out for a walk. See you tonight."

Stepping on her high heels, she stalked out the door, her voice a mixture of uncontrollable excitement and triumph, as if she were saying to Jocelin: She's free at last.

The driver had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Miss Lan, sir has arranged for me to be your personal chauffeur." She bowed slightly towards Lan Xi.

After thanking them politely, the two of them got into the car and left.

Before long, there was a Rolls Royce in front of the mall's entrance. People who passed by couldn't help but turn around to take a second look. After all, Rolls-Royce Phantom wasn't a world-limited car that could be seen anywhere.

There were even people secretly taking photos around them. There were even bold women who took a few steps closer to take photos of their friends list.

Seeing such a scene, Lan Xi supported her forehead and got off the car. The fresh and elegant makeup accentuated her pretty face. The surrounding women instantly paled in comparison.

He elegantly closed the door and walked into the shopping mall. The people who had gathered here slowly dispersed, and soon the street returned to normal.

She had thought of this a long time before she went out. She walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the third floor, preparing to buy some underwear.

Although the undergarments in the villa's wardrobe were suitable, they had all been prepared for her by Xiao Yunyi, so she felt that it was a little strange to put them on.

Lan Xi selected a few underwear that she was satisfied with and found a black card in her bag when she checked out the bill. She smiled as she understood where it came from. Warmth enveloped her heart as she returned the black card to her bag.

Lan Xi raised her head to look at the French windows in the distance. It was still early in the morning when she arrived at a sweet shop on the second floor. The delicate and delicious ice cream melted in her mouth.

There were a few people sitting in the resting area of the shopping mall. Occasionally, they would lower their heads and play with their phones. Their gazes would occasionally sweep towards Lan Xi. When she stood up to head to the next place, those people would follow her as if nothing had happened.

After eating the dessert, Lan Xi casually strolled around a few gift shops and snacks shops. She held Bunny Bunny in her arms and a large bag of snacks in her hands.

Before settling the bill, he saw FERRERO chocolate and his mind went back to the past.

Not long after that, a thick layer of sadness appeared on his face, and his vision became hazy.

Lan Xi shook her head to clear her thoughts. It was getting dark outside. Lan Xi sent a text to the chauffeur, saying that she would return after settling the bill.

Lan Xi finally managed to queue up with great difficulty. The price displayed on the counter surprised her. She didn't expect that the chocolate was so expensive. However, she had no reason to put it down when it came to delicacies.

Lan Xi felt so pained that she fished out her savings card. She could only mutter in her heart.

"Beep beep, I don't have enough left." A voice rang out.

"Heh, he looks just like a human. He can't afford to buy so many, yet he still takes so many."

The sales clerk mocked in disdain, while the people in the back row also started to complain in a low voice, "That's right, it's not over yet, what a grind."

Lan Xi's face reddened. Helplessly, she took out the black card that Xiao Yunyi had given her. When the cashier saw the black card, he subconsciously took a step back and hastily apologized to Lan Xi.

"My god, a black card? "I'm sorry Miss, I'll settle the bill right now, thank you for coming over."

"..."

Arriving at the storage box, Lan Xi took out the Bunny bunny rabbit and the small gifts she had previously bought. Carrying large and small bags, she turned to the driver and opened the FERRERO chocolate.

Lan Xi walked out of the shopping mall in a great mood. She suddenly felt that someone was following her from behind. She had the same feeling when she was shopping. Lan Xi no longer suspected that it was an assassin's occupational disease.

Lan Xi didn't turn around when they reached a small street near the shopping mall. Instead, she said, "Come out. It's been hard on you guys to 'accompany me shopping'."

A few passersby behind him turned around slowly, their gazes fierce. "Not bad, why don't you play with us?"
