Not long after Lan Xi left, Xiao Yunyi left as well.
Mu Yaran looked at the empty dining hall and couldn't help but think back to the time when Xiao Yunyi had also embarrassed her like this.
The hatred in her heart for Lan Xi rose to a whole new level. However, she still endured it. She already had a way to deal with Lan Xi. It was just as Old Man Xiao had said. It would be an easy feat for him to deal with Lan Xi if he could make so many women who were pestering Xiao Yunyi disappear.
Not having the mood to stay any longer, Mu Yaran returned to her room.
After taking care of things in the study, Xiao Yunyi wanted to go to Lan Xi's room to look for her, but he suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten much tonight, so he went downstairs to get her a cup of milk.
He knocked lightly on the door to let Lan Xi know that he had arrived. Before Lan Xi could react, Xiao Yunyi pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he entered, he saw Lan Xi glaring angrily at him. Xiao Yunyi felt that it was a bit funny to see her acting like a child.
"It's late, you shouldn't have come here." Lan Xi coldly said.
Xiao Yun wiped away the smile on his face and placed the milk on the table. "Let's see how much you've eaten tonight. I'll send you a cup of milk. Drink it."
"No need, I'm full." Lan Xi didn't even look at the milk. She climbed onto the bed and covered herself with the blanket. "Director Xiao, I'm going to bed. Please leave."
Xiao Yunyi was a little dissatisfied with Lan Xi for changing her name. He lowered his body and pressed it against her body. "What did you call me? "Hmm?"
She had tightly covered herself up to let Xiao Yunyi out, but she didn't expect him to directly place his bet on her, preventing her from moving even a little bit. She moved. Not only did she not push him down, but she even brought him closer to her.
Tilting her head, Lan Xi said, "Of course it's Director Xiao. If not, what else could we call her? "Right now, I must earnestly curry favor with you, otherwise what if you lock me up when you get angry?"
Although there was a teasing tone in her voice, Lan Xi was still unsure. She was really afraid that Xiao Yunyi would lock her up.
After all, she didn't know that Xiao Yunyi would be able to do such a thing before he imprisoned her.
"That won't happen, as long as you …"
"As long as I stay here and don't leave, alright, I got it. You can get up now, I'm going to be crushed to death by you. " Lan Xi directly said and rolled her eyes at Xiao Yunyi.
Xiao Yunyi was amused by Lan Xi as he got up from her body. He even helped her to get a better understanding of the blanket. However, just as Xiao Yunyi was about to crawl into her blanket, he was stopped by Lan Xi.
Lan Xi looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"Sleep." Xiao Yunyi had a face that said it was right.
Pursing her lips, Lan Xi lowered her head and said, "You shouldn't stay here. Go back and don't come back again."
Xiao Yunyi suddenly sat up from the bed and narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Do you have to make it so clear?" Lan Xi looked at him with an awkward expression. "Your fiancee is living right next to us, but you're in my room sleeping on my bed. Do you think that's appropriate?"
There were no complaints nor was she disappointed. Her tone was light, but Xiao Yunyi could hear her heartache.
He wanted to explain, but he had never done such a thing before. He didn't know how to do it. He didn't know where to start, given how complicated this matter was.
Xiao Yunyi opened his mouth and could only say, "You don't need to care about her."
"Hur hur." Lan Xi laughed at herself. "That's right. Don't worry about her." She's just the future mistress of this place. He's just someone you promised to stay with. He's just your fiancée. I remember the last time we went to the Xiao family, you warned me not to get into conflict with Mu Yaran.
Being questioned by Lan Xi until he was at a loss for words, Xiao Yunyi could only stiffly change the topic, "Go to sleep, stop talking."
Lan Xi sat up and walked to the sofa in her room, staying far away from Xiao Yunyi.
"I have to say, I don't know what you mean by letting her live here, but since you already let your fiancée live here, you should keep your distance from me. Although my birth is not good, but I still have the least bit of shame. "I don't want to be a mistress. I don't have anything left, so please leave some pride for me."
"You're not Little San." Excited by Lan Xi's words, Xiao Yunyi quickly explained and guaranteed, "I don't have any relationship with her. Although we let her stay here, we will only do so. We won't make any progress here. "You have to give me some time, and I will get this over with. She won't be a hindrance between us."
Lan Xi wanted to refute him, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.
She felt that Xiao Yunyi's words seemed to be hinting at something, but even if she thought carefully, she couldn't figure it out.
"Fine, I believe you, but don't forget what you promised me. Since you won't let me out, then you must help me find my brother." Lan Xi was still reluctant to part with her heartless heart with Xiao Yunyi. "Moreover, I hope that you will respect me. It's better for you to head back while Mu Yaran is here."
Xiao Yunyi sat on the bed, while Lan Xi sat on the sofa. It seemed like they were very close, but it also seemed like they were very far apart.
The two stayed at a stalemate for a while before Xiao Yunyi let out a helpless sigh. "Alright, I respect you. I'll head back. Remember to drink the milk."
Just as Xiao Yunyi walked out of Lan Xi's room, she closed the door.
He felt that she was closing not only the door to her room, but the door to her heart. Xiao Yunyi looked through the door as if he could see a woman tossing and turning on the bed.
After standing up for an unknown amount of time, he finally got up and left.
Just as Xiao Yunyi returned to his own room and closed the door, the other room's door opened. Mu Yuran stood in the hallway as she looked gloomily in the direction of Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi.
Mu Yaran felt that it was a mistake for her to move here. If she didn't live here, she wouldn't have discovered that he had gone to Lan Xi's room and stayed there for a long time before coming out, flummoxed.
She felt like they were slapping her own face. She had only announced her engagement to Xiao Yunyi earlier that day, and her fiancé had gone to another woman's room at night. How could she not be angry?
She wanted to find trouble with Lan Xi, but it was too late and she didn't have the energy to do so. Furthermore, she thought that Xiao Yunyi definitely wouldn't like her noisy appearance, so she endured it.
I still have a lot of chances to get along with Xiao Yunyi, but you, Lan Xi, you're forcing me to speed up my plans.
Mu Yaran shot a final fierce glance in Lan Xi's direction before heading back to her room.
