Lan Xi, who had returned to the villa, felt physically and mentally exhausted. She didn't greet Xiao Yunyi, but instead quickly returned to her room, locked the door, and threw herself onto the soft bed.
Xiao Yunyi followed closely behind her as he opened the door, but was unable to open it. He immediately understood Lan Xi's intentions in rejecting his offer.
After some thought, he felt that he shouldn't force her too much, so he turned around and went to the other room.
When Lan Xi, who was on the bed, heard Xiao Yunyi open the door, she was slightly perturbed. She was both expecting him to come in, but didn't want him to. But when she heard his footsteps leave her heart was still very disappointed.
Lan Xi ruthlessly hit her pillow a few times as she scolded Xiao Yunyi in a low voice.
On the other side of the bed was the Bunny she'd bought yesterday, which grinned as if it were laughing at her. Lan Xi angrily flipped the rabbit over.
After washing up and returning to her bed, Lan Xi felt waves of sleepiness come over her. She no longer had the mood to think about other things, so she quickly fell asleep.
However, Xiao Yunyi, who was in the other room, could not sleep. Lan Xi's identity was already known to many people, and Lin Shengkun did not react. However, based on his character, he would definitely not let her off.
He had to think of a way to protect Lan Xi. Also, after the Mu family and Xiao family found out about Lan Xi's existence, they would think of a way to get her to leave him.
Xiao Yunyi had a headache and suddenly thought of the suggestion the old man had made today.
If he couldn't do it, then he had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Yunyi drank the red wine in one gulp and then casually placed the cup on the counter. Then, he climbed over the balcony and entered Lan Xi's room.
The person who had made things difficult for him had already slept soundly. In his arms was the Bunny Bunny that she had so disdainfully rejected just a moment ago, and as he sank into the soft bedding, he seemed to be extremely warm.
Xiao Yunyi was enticed by this warmth. He lay down beside Lan Xi and took her place in his embrace.
Xiao Yunyi only felt extremely comfortable. He originally wanted to lie down and leave, but he was infected by the sleepiness of the people beside him. He slowly closed his eyes as well.
The light in the room dimmed, and in the faint moonlight shining through the window, only two figures could be seen snuggling together.
The next day, Lan Xi woke up first. When she found herself in Xiao Yunyi's embrace, she felt unwell.
She didn't know how Xiao Yunyi came in, but when she noticed the curtains being blown open by the wind, she immediately guessed that he had come in from the balcony.
This was a miscalculation. He could guard against the door and not block the window sill, allowing Xiao Yunyi to take advantage of him. Lan Xi complained in her heart. She had let him in so easily.
Lan Xi looked at the man who was still sleeping soundly beside her and thought of a prank.
She reached out her hand to stroke Xiao Yunyi's eyelashes, but he only moved reflexively. Lan Xi snickered. Then, she extended her hand in an attempt to repeat the same trick. However, her hand was grabbed the moment she approached him.
Lan Xi raised her head and met Xiao Yunyi's eyes. His eyes seemed to contain the starry sky, so deep that it could suck people in.
Lan Xi was stunned. The distance between the two of them was getting closer. She didn't know why, but their lips were pressed together. The distance between them had changed from positive to negative.
This morning, Xiao Yunyi did not go out for his morning jog, but he did something even better.
"..."
Biting down on her sandwich, Lan Xi felt a little regretful that she had been so easily bewitched by Xiao Yunyi this morning, and had accompanied him to do some morning exercise.
Noticing Lan Xi's lack of concentration, Xiao Yunyi used his chopsticks and knocked her on the head. "Eat well. I'll take you to a place later."
Lan Xi looked at him curiously, but the other didn't give her any reaction. She was just enjoying her own breakfast.
Lan Xi shrugged her shoulders. She knew she wouldn't get an answer, so she hastened her breakfast. She wanted to see where he was taking her.
When Lan Xi and Xiao Yunyi left, Lu Zihao was already waiting for them by the car.
Lan Xi felt a little strange and asked Xiao Yunyi, "Is he your personal chauffeur?" Why do you have to take him wherever you go? "
"No." Xiao Yunyi gave a brief answer, then thought for a moment before saying, "He's my brother, and he's the son of Butler Lu who you chatted with the other day."
When the other two in the car heard this, they were somewhat surprised.
Lan Xi had originally thought that Lu Zihao was just a subordinate of Xiao Yunyi. She hadn't thought that he would actually say that he was his brother.
Lu Zihao was surprised that Lan Xi was able to chat with his father. His father had been by Old Man Xiao's side for so many years that there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him through his connections.
He didn't expect that the first time they met, Lan Xi would be able to talk to him. Lu Zihao now had a whole new level of respect for her.
"You guys really don't look like each other. Butler Lu looks so honest and reliable, but you …"
Lan Xi furrowed her brows, but didn't finish her words.
"Hey, what are you saying? "Why is it not like that? Even if it doesn't seem like it, we are still siblings." Lu Zihao retorted, "At that time, you still blame your ability. To be able to chat so happily with this old man on the first meeting, this old man has a very high opinion of him."
Lan Xi chuckled. "I took it as a compliment. I also feel that I'm quite extraordinary."
The two of them chatted non-stop, each talking to the other, leaving Xiao Yunyi to the side. When the latter saw how excited they were, the air pressure around them became lower and lower.
Lu Zihao noticed his boss's expression in the rearview mirror, immediately realizing his mistake, and immediately shut his mouth.
Lan Xi was a little curious about why he didn't say anything else, but Xiao Yunyi said, "Concentrate and drive properly", and sent him back.
Lan Xi, who had been interrupted, was a little unhappy. However, Xiao Yunyi looked at her obediently, and did not say another word.
The carriage quietened down, but Xiao Yunyi still felt very uncomfortable. Lan Xi and Lu Zihao had chatted happily just now, so why had she quietened down when he had just spoken to them?
Xiao Yunyi glared at Lu Zihao as he thought about it. The latter felt that he had died wrongly, so how innocent was he?
Lan Xi no longer spoke. Instead, she focused on the scenery by the roadside.
They had already left the city and were heading towards the outskirts of the city. Lan Xi didn't know their destination, but there was still Xiao Yunyi on the carriage. She didn't think that they would go to any dangerous place.
She had never paid attention to the scenery on the side of the road before, and it was always a rush every time she went out on a mission. This time, it was truly a fresh experience, so she was pleasantly surprised by the many sights she had never seen before.
After about an hour, the car finally stopped.
"We're here."
