Lan Xi's words silenced the two men.
Lu Zihao looked awkwardly at Lan Xi, then looked at his boss. He felt that he should disappear by now. However, before he could come to a conclusion, he braced himself and asked Xiao Yunyi the same question, "Then what about you, boss? What did you eat last night? "
"Similar to her, but I haven't had any soup."
When Xiao Yunyi said this, the others immediately felt that something was wrong.
If Xiao Yunyi hadn't tasted that soup, it was likely that Mu Yaran hadn't either. However, this was only their guess, so they couldn't be sure.
With this thought, Lu Zihao directly asked, "Then, do you remember if Mu Yaran drank this soup?"
Before Xiao Yunyi could say anything, Lan Xi rejected him.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at each other, she continued, "Last night, Mu Yaran only stayed in the dining room for a short while before returning to her room, because she wasn't feeling well."
Although she said that for Lu Zihao to hear, Lan Xi's gaze was focused on Xiao Yunyi. The latter felt a little guilty for some reason.
Sensing that the atmosphere between the two was getting weirder and weirder, Lu Zihao nodded his head, indicating that he understood. After that, he greeted Xiao Yunyi and told him that he would continue investigating further. He already had a general idea of what was going on, so he quickly left the room.
After Lu Zihao left, there were only two people left in the room.
Lan Xi was lying on the bed with her back facing Xiao Yunyi. The latter was standing beside the bed, her burning gaze glued to Lan Xi's body.
She couldn't help it for a while, so she turned around and said to him, "Didn't the doctor tell me to walk around a bit more? Then why don't you help me walk around on the ground."
Xiao Yunyi nodded and picked her up before placing her on the ground.
After lying down for so long, Lan Xi's legs gave way and she was about to fall down, but Xiao Yunyi held her back. Lan Xi raised her head to look at his serious eyes. For some reason, she felt wronged. She lowered her head to bite her lips as tears fell from her eyes.
"What's wrong? "Don't cry …" Xiao Yunyi's tone was warm and panicked.
Lan Xi's tears fell even more violently.
Although she had already confessed to Xiao Yunyi, she still felt very depressed in her heart, as well as a faint sense of fear.
She didn't know how kind Xiao Yunyi was to her now, but who would he give his gentleness to in the future? Could it be Mu Yaran? His fiancée.
She was depressed and had nowhere to vent her feelings. She could only express herself with tears. From her silent crying at the beginning to her crying later, it was as if Lan Xi wanted to shed all the tears in her life. At the same time, it was as though she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart.
Xiao Yunyi helped Lan Xi to sit on the bed, while he himself sat on the chair opposite her.
He watched her vent her feelings, silently wiping away her tears.
Lan Xi slowly calmed down. Then, she turned her head when Xiao Yunyi reached out his hand once more, causing his hand to miss its target.
He retracted his hand and helplessly asked, "What happened to you?"
She suddenly became angry: "What's wrong? What's wrong? "Is that all you can say?"
"Alright, let me say another word." Xiao Yunyi had a good temper as he accepted her, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
The more Xiao Yunyi acted like this, the more reluctant Lan Xi felt. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to let go after feeling Xiao Yunyi's gentleness.
In fact, she couldn't let it go now. Lan Xi's heart ached and tears were about to flow. She tried her best to push them back down.
"I said I like you …" Her voice was still choked with sobs …
"I know."
"You don't know! You don't know how much I like you. Actually, I don't know, but I do like it. "
Lan Xi finally said what she wanted to say, and then decided to say what she wanted to say out loud. She was afraid of the poison now. If Xiao Yunyi hadn't been able to save her back then, she would never have had the chance to say those words again. Therefore, she wanted to say it out loud while there was still a chance.
"I don't know when I fell for you, but it was the day I came back from shopping that day that you told Qiao Lin that you were going to the Xiao family's old mansion if you didn't come back for dinner. That day, I realized my feelings for you.
I don't know when it started, but maybe it was when you appeared in Lin Shengkun's base to save me, or maybe it was when you took care of me, or maybe it was the first time you appeared in front of me. I don't remember, but all these possibilities of getting together became my feelings for you right now — I like you. "
Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi seriously and continued.
"I will go with you to the Xiao Residence. I will quarrel with Mu Yaran and I will watch as you treat her well. I will watch as she flaunts herself around the villa using her identity. After all, she's your fiancée who you promised you would be able to stay in. And to you, I'm just a friend. No, I shouldn't actually say that I'm a stranger. I'm just someone who isn't a friend and doesn't have any status.
Seeing Xiao Yunyi frown, Lan Xi suddenly thought of the same thing.
"Are you thinking why I left with Chi Mo Han earlier? On the one hand, I wanted to avenge my parents and then find my brother as soon as possible to take him out of here and return to normal life. On the other hand, I want to run away from you. That night in the Xiao family, I clearly understood the gap between us. I knew that it was impossible for us to be together, so I wanted to escape. "
Lan Xi's words had clearly pressed on Xiao Yunyi's heart. He hadn't thought that Lan Xi would develop feelings for him so early on in the morning. Moreover, he hadn't thought that she would be under so much psychological pressure.
What the Xiao family had brought her, and what Mu Yaran had brought her, was something she couldn't bear. It was even what she had brought her that made her want to leave.
The reason she said all that today was because she didn't want to endure it any longer. Xiao Yunyi thought, since you said it out loud, how could I possibly hold back?
After Lan Xi finished speaking, she lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at Xiao Yunyi's expression. She was afraid that she would be disappointed and lose the courage to continue staying by his side. She even mocked herself, thinking that he wouldn't be imprisoning her this time.
She had previously investigated Xiao Yunyi's background when she was on a mission, and all of his bed companions would unknowingly disappear after they showed signs of nostalgia for him.
Perhaps, he would also become a part of the woman who had disappeared. Lan Xi thought dejectedly.
A gentle force under her chin forced Lan Xi to look up. No matter how many times she looked, Lan Xi would always fall into Xiao Yunyi's eyes. But now, those eyes were filled with deep love.
She was still in disbelief when the other party spoke up, "Me too."
