Lan Xi felt the temperature on her face rise. She walked out, a little embarrassed. "You're the only one who knows how to talk."
However, when Lan Xi raised her head, she met the astonished gazes of Xiao Yunyi and Mu Yaran.
She immediately understood that Xiao Yunyi's words weren't directed at her, but at the person in front of her.
Mu Yaran had also changed into a new dress. It was the same design as Lan Xi, but the color was different. The dress she wore was red. Lan Xi walked to stand in front of Xiao Yunyi, one on each side of him.
The strong contrast between a white rose and a red rose made Xiao Yunyi somewhat speechless.
He had not expected that he would ask the servants to prepare clothes for them, but they would prepare two of the same design, in different colors. And to fit their personalities so well, this was most likely a sign from the old tutor.
The two women also noticed this. However, compared to the strong aura Mu Yaran gave off, Lan Xi's temperament was a little dull. Moreover, Mu Yaran's personality was very flamboyant, so the red dress made her look like a bright pearl.
Lan Xi, on the other hand, was more like a bathroom that hadn't been polished properly yet.
Mu Yaran glanced at Lan Xi before she sat down next to Xiao Yunyi. She wanted to intimately hold onto his arm, but the latter avoided her.
Her face stiffened, but quickly returned to normal: "Big Brother Xiao, you also think that this piece of clothes is suitable for me, right? I think so too, thank you for getting me my clothes. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lan Xi who was still stunned on the spot.
"Miss Lan, please sit down. You don't have to be so polite. You're really not well-received today. When you have the chance to come back, I will properly entertain you. Just treat this as the Xiao family apologizing to you? "It's very suitable for your temperament as well. Although it has the same style as the one I'm wearing, but …"
Mu Yaran purposely didn't say anything else as she smiled and shifted her gaze to Xiao Yunyi.
Lan Xi didn't respond to her words. She had already adjusted her state of mind. What she really wanted to know was, what was Xiao Yunyi going to do next?
The two women's gazes were on him, and what happened just now made even Xiao Yunyi, who was in charge of the shopping mall, have a headache.
However, he knew that in order to prevent Lan Xi from causing more trouble in the future and provoking the Mu family, he had to properly pacify Mu Yaran today.
"You girls don't know much about clothes, but this style is really good. "Alright, it's getting late. It's time for you to go home." "It's too late. It's not safe for you to go back alone. I'll get Zi Hao to send you back."
Lu Zihao, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, walked in and stood by the side with a ready look.
Seeing that Xiao Yunyi was adamant, she had no choice but to leave with Lu Zihao: "Alright, big brother Xiao, I'll go home first. When I have time, I'll come find you. Don't forget what we said."
The person speaking had intentions, and the person listening had intentions as well. When Mu Yaran noticed Lan Xi's clenched fists, she smirked. She then picked up the bag on the sofa and arrogantly walked out.
Seeing that Mu Yaran had left, Lan Xi let out a breath of relief. He spoke to Xiao Yun Yi as if he was asking for help, "Can we leave now? They're all gone. "
"Not yet, I still have things to tell grandpa." When they saw Lan Xi's rapidly falling face, some of them couldn't help but laugh. "Good girl, you'll be able to leave in a while. Wait a little longer." They're gone anyway, huh? "
Bewildered by Xiao Yunyi's intentionally suppressed magnetic voice, Lan Xi nodded in agreement. He sat obediently on the sofa, observing the situation as he entered.
Steward Lu walked out of the study and respectfully said to Xiao Yunyi, "Eldest Young Master, the old master is waiting for you."
After standing up and tidying up his clothes, Xiao Yun headed towards the study.
The door was not closed. It was probably left open for him on purpose. After Xiao Yunyi entered, he closed the door and stood respectfully in front of Xiao Jianan. However, he did not conceal his aura in the slightest.
Xiao Jianan put down the brush in his hand and looked at his grandson who made him proud. He sighed in his heart, "I think you know why I called you here today. That woman, how are you going to deal with her? "You know that she definitely can't enter the Xiao family. A daughter-in-law of the Xiao family can have an ordinary background, but she definitely can't be an assassin!"
Xiao Yunyi naturally understood what Xiao Jian An meant. Since he was young, he had been raised as the successor of the Xiao family. All this while, the education he had received told him to put the interests of the Xiao family first. His parents were a business marriage, and so was his grandfather. But to him...
If it was before Lan Xi had appeared, Mu Yaran would have been the best choice in his eyes. However, after Lan Xi had appeared, he no longer wanted to go against his own wishes.
Xiao Yunyi didn't speak for a long time. Just when Xiao Jianan thought that he was going to retort, Xiao Yunyi finally spoke, "I understand everything that you have said, I will consider it carefully. However, I also hope that you will not interfere in this matter anymore. "
Without even looking at Xiao Jianan's expression, Xiao Yunyi walked out with messy footsteps. Xiao Jianan thought for a moment, but was unable to stop him.
This was the first time he had seen Xiao Yunyi in such a state, and had lost his calm for a woman.
In the living room, Butler Lu was talking to Lan Xi.
It was unknown what they said, but Lan Xi looked very happy and relaxed.
Xiao Yunyi knew that Butler Lu was a very capable person, but he didn't expect him to be so capable in making girls happy. This made Lu Zihao quite similar to his father.
"Cough, cough." Deliberately making a sound to express his presence, Xiao Yunyi stood behind Lan Xi and patted her head. "Get up, it's time for us to go back."
Seeing that Lan Xi wasn't finished yet, Xiao Yunyi felt a little unhappy. In such a short period of time, had she and Butler Lu had a good chat?
Steward Lu received Xiao Yunyi's gaze and tactfully found an excuse to leave.
When Lan Xi saw that Butler Lu had left, she quickly pulled Xiao Yunyi toward the door. He even said, "We can finally leave. Don't let me come back in the future. Your Xiao family isn't that easy to enter."
Xiao Yunyi felt a little helpless, but he didn't refute Lan Xi. He just followed behind her as she walked out.
The two of them did not notice that Old Man Xiao, who had been watching them from behind, did not notice the exhaustion on his face nor did he hear that shallow sigh.
"Yunyi's heart is alive."
