"What's wrong?"
"Ah!" Lan Xi patted her chest. "You scared me to death!"
The person behind him pulled him into her embrace, then grabbed her hand and placed it on his palm. He then asked again, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lan Xi's tone was indifferent, as though she didn't want to talk anymore.
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up from his slumber and it was already late at night, but Xiao Yunyi's voice did not sound as cold as usual. Instead, it was somewhat lazy.
He buried his head in Lan Xi's shoulder and said, "Can you tell me anything?"
Lan Xi bitterly smiled. Her heart had been touched by his sudden softening of her heart, but she quickly realized her current situation. She did her best to force herself to calm down and harden her heart.
Only by setting up a thick protective shell could he be able to protect himself.
"You're thinking too much. There's nothing wrong. It's very late, go to sleep. " There was no change in Lan Xi's tone.
"You …" Xiao Yunyi was a little displeased. He propped himself up and pinched Lan Xi's chin to force her to turn around and look at him. "What happened to you?"
Lan Xi was displeased by his coercing actions. She expressed her feelings as she spoke. "What else do you want me to say? "Or what do you want to know? Do you think I can still speak properly to you after what you did yesterday? What else can I say to you?"
Under the moonlight, Lan Xi's eyes were bright. With his excellent eyesight, Xiao Yunyi could clearly see the rage in her eyes.
He knew that he had gone overboard with yesterday's matter, but he would not apologize because he did not regret it.
"As long as you promise not to see Chi Mo Han again, I will not hurt you again."
"Impossible."
Neither of them slept that night, but neither of them said a word to the other.
It was only when there was light outside the window that Lan Xi finally started to feel sleepy. However, she still remained on guard against Xiao Yunyi.
Lan Xi slowly fell asleep. Xiao Yunyi looked at her curled up body and felt his heart ache. With a sigh, he pulled her back into his arms, and they both went back to sleep.
When Lan Xi woke up, she found that she was the only one left in the room.
He picked up a bathrobe from the floor and put it on before sneaking back into his room. Lan Xi's heart was filled with anger towards Xiao Yunyi as she looked at her sorry state in the mirror.
When she thought of the words he had asked her to cut off her connection with Chi Mo Han yesterday, she became even angrier.
He still had to think of a way to leave this place. Lan Xi thought to herself. However, she knew that after this incident, Xiao Yunyi wouldn't give her that much freedom anymore.
She had a headache. She felt that her departure yesterday had been too hasty and impulsive. She should have made a good plan. It would not be easy to leave now.
Moreover, he didn't know how Chi Mo Han was doing right now. When he was taken away by Xiao Yun Yi yesterday, he saw him being surrounded and attacked by Lu Zi Hao and the rest.
Although she was very confident in Chi Mo Han's skill, Lan Xi was still a little worried in her heart. After all, he was implicated by himself, which was why he suffered such an unexpected disaster.
Lan Xi felt a sense of hunger in her stomach. She decided to first go downstairs and eat something before making any plans.
Opening the wardrobe, she saw the white dress that she had changed into that night at the Xiao family's old house. She immediately thought of Mu Yaran. He suddenly felt very unhappy and took out that piece of clothing. Then, he casually threw that expensive piece of clothing into the trash can. Picking up a pair of trousers she always wore, she put them on and went downstairs.
Downstairs, as usual, she was alone.
Lan Xi thought back to the bodyguards who had chased after her yesterday. She wanted to ask about their situation, but after hesitating for a moment, she didn't say anything. After having breakfast slowly, seeing her dilemma, Qiao Lin took the initiative to speak up.
"After the boss took you away yesterday, we stopped. "Only a few bodyguards were slightly injured, the others were fine, the injured have already been sent to the hospital to be treated."
Seeing that Lan Xi had relaxed, Qiao Lin didn't mention anything about Chi Mo Han's situation.
However, when Lan Xi took the initiative to ask about it, Qiao Lin couldn't help but grumble that she shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Xiao Yunyi had already told her not to talk about Chi Mo Han's situation, but she still wanted to shoot herself.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Qiao Lin was silent, Lan Xi panicked. "Did something really happen to Chi Mo Han?"
Qiao Lin stammered and mumbled. This further confirmed Lan Xi that something must have happened to Chi Mo Han.
"No, I have to find him."
Lan Xi put down her chopsticks and stood up, about to leave.
"Who are you looking for?"
Lan Xi turned around and saw Xiao Yunyi walking down the stairs.
"Who I'm going to find has nothing to do with you. You have no right to interfere in my life. "
Lan Xi's tone was cold as well. After she finished speaking, she continued to head out.
"You can try and see if you can walk out of this door."
Gritting her teeth, Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi and asked, "What do you mean?"
As Xiao Yun approached her, Lan Xi subconsciously retreated, but the cabinet behind her stopped her.
He approached her, and they were almost touching.
"Have you forgotten what you said yesterday? If you say that I'm holding you captive, then I'll show you what a real captivity is. You can't leave this villa without my orders. No one dares to open the door for you, and you are not allowed to communicate with the outside world in any way. "
As Xiao Yunyi spoke, Lan Xi's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Are you crazy? You actually want to imprison me! Don't you know it's against the law? Besides, what makes you think you can? "
"Violation of the law?" Xiao Yunyi retorted with a question, "A mere assassin still cares if it's illegal or not? Your identity had long been erased by Lin Shengkun. Now that I see you, you're just a scumbag, and even if I imprison you, no one will know about it. Why? Based on my identity as Xiao Yunyi. "
Lan Xi's calm tone stirred her anger. She wanted to escape when Xiao Yunyi wasn't paying attention, but he stopped her.
He wasn't his match at all, and Xiao Yunyi had even warned her not to think about escaping. If she ran away, everyone in the villa would be implicated, including Qiao Lin. Even if she ran away, he had plenty of ways to get her back.
Lan Xi was helpless due to his overbearing methods. She was about to leave when she got angry.
Xiao Yunyi frowned, while Lan Xi quickly explained that she was just walking around the courtyard.
She really didn't want to live under the same roof with him anymore. Lan Xi secretly thought to herself.
Xiao Yunyi nodded, and Lan Xi quickly ran out, only to discover that Xiao Yunyi had followed her out as well.
She was somewhat dumbfounded. "What are you doing out here?"
"I'll accompany you."
