Chapter 165: Calm and Peaceful

"well."

“…”

"well."

“…”

"well."

"No, Yilan, what's wrong with you? Are you addicted to sighing? It's one time, two times, but not three times. If you sigh again, I will beat you up, believe it or not." Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan with some anger, speechless at her sudden change into a sentimental person.

When Lin Yilan heard Chu Siran's "threat", she shut her mouth obediently and really said nothing, but her mood was still low and she exuded negativity.

"What's wrong? Are you still worried about Chu Xi and Huo Juncheng? I told you that this scumbag doesn't deserve you. If you really can't stand him, just talk it out with him and break up."

"Actually, what's bothering me now is another thing..." Lin Yilan knew that Chu Siran had been very busy recently because of his plan to expand the store, and her mood became irritable.

Originally, they had agreed to work hard together, but it turned out that Lin Yilan did not understand the professional knowledge and could only do odd jobs on a daily basis.

"What could possibly bother you more than the matter between Huo Juncheng and that bitch Chu Xi? Tell me about it. I'm quite curious."

"The other day I went to look for Ah Si and saw him being surrounded by a group of people. Can you guess who sent them? I don't think you'll ever guess..."

After hearing the first half of Lin Yilan's sentence, Chu Siran wanted to blurt out Chu Xi's name, but after hearing the second half of Lin Yilan's sentence, Chu Siran was also confused...

"Hey... they won't say it was me who ordered it, right?"

"Ah?" Hearing Chu Siran say this, Lin Yilan burst out laughing, "How did you come up with the idea of guessing yourself?"

"Didn't you say I absolutely couldn't guess who it was? Then the most unlikely person is the most likely. It's the same principle as the most dangerous place is the safest place. So who is it?"

When Chu Siran saw Lin Yilan laughing, he also started laughing.

The two of them joked around for a long time, and Lin Yilan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She then tried to calm herself down, "They said Huo Juncheng sent them, and Ah Si also said that it was probably because Ah Si told me about Huo Juncheng and Chu Xi, so Huo Juncheng wanted someone to take revenge on him."

"What?" Chu Siran was shocked at first. She knew what kind of person Huo Juncheng was. Although she didn't like Huo Juncheng very much, Huo Juncheng was definitely not the kind of person who liked to play dirty tricks.

"You seem quite shocked, right? I don't understand either. Do you think there's some misunderstanding here?"

"If you ask me, you and I have been guessing about these things, but we still can't figure out the whole story. I think you'd better ask Huo Juncheng for clarification. Whether it's Chu Xi's matter or Ah Si's matter, it's best to ask Huo Juncheng for clarification."

Lin Yilan felt that no matter how much she worried about it, she would not be able to solve any problem. After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to ask Huo Juncheng for clarification. The last time Chu Xi’s incident happened, it was because Lin Yilan did not ask Huo Juncheng clearly that the misunderstanding became bigger and bigger. This time, she felt that she could no longer sit and wait for death.

However, Lin Yilan became timid when she returned to the Huo family. She no longer had the determination she had in the milk tea shop. However, Huo Juncheng had been waiting for Lin Yilan for a long time. As soon as Lin Yilan returned to the Huo family, Huo Juncheng called her.

"Yilan, I think we need to talk about what happened these days."

Seeing Huo Juncheng's serious expression, Lin Yilan also became serious, "I think we need to talk about it."

"Then let me speak first," Lin Yilan said before Huo Juncheng could speak, "I've read the report about you and Chu Xi. I'm not curious why you were in the same fitting room that day, nor am I curious why you went to Chu Xi's room. Huo Juncheng, I just want to ask you one question: do you like Chu Xi?"

Lin Yilan said, without waiting for Huo Juncheng's answer, she emphasized, "You'd better think it over before answering. Whether you like it or not, this kind of thing is not a joke. I don't want to be a victim in this relationship."

Looking at Lin Yilan's extremely serious expression, Huo Juncheng inexplicably felt a little confused in his heart. So was Lin Yilan really jealous?

"I don't like Chu Xi. I made it very clear last time at the Chu family. I just treat Chu Xi as a younger sister. As for why I ended up in the same lounge with Chu Xi, it was because she said she had something to talk to me about. I didn't expect her to suddenly..."

Hearing Huo Juncheng say this, although Lin Yilan did not change on the surface, she was still relieved in her heart, "Then what's the matter with you going to Chu Xi's room?"

"That's because Chu Xi said she knew about Haida's situation, so I went to look for her. But I didn't expect Chu Xi to actually put drugs in my wine. Luckily, Ah Si arrived just in time. Although I'm a little confused about why Ah Si was there, I'm very grateful that he took me to the hospital on time."

"Since Ah Si helped you, why do you still want to trouble him?" Lin Yilan said this and realized that something was wrong. It seemed that her thoughts were led by Huo Juncheng.

"No, what I meant to say is that the facts you and Ah Si told are completely different. Ah Si said that you took the initiative to go to Chu Xi's room, and if he hadn't arrived in time, you might have been with Chu Xi..."

At the end of her speech, Lin Yilan's voice became smaller and smaller due to shyness, and finally she stopped talking.

"Lin Yilan, are you stupid? You'd rather believe that nonsense-talking Ah Si than me? Whatever he says is the truth. Don't you even bother to ask me what's going on?"

"Then I won't ask. Don't you know how to explain it to me? When the report came out, you didn't tell me anything at all. How could I not imagine it? And as for your relationship with Chu Xi, I saw you in the lounge with my own eyes..."

Hearing this, Huo Juncheng rubbed his eyebrows irritably, stepped forward, walked in front of Lin Yilan, hooked Lin Yilan's waist with one hand, and brought her into his arms.

"I told you I don't like Chu Xi, why don't you believe me?"

Facing Huo Juncheng's suddenly enlarged face, Lin Yilan stupidly froze in Huo Juncheng's arms, her words stuttering a bit: "That's...that's because...because..."

Before Lin Yilan could explain herself, Huo Juncheng blocked her lips. Lin Yilan forgot to struggle for a moment and was held in Huo Juncheng's arms, feeling the scent that belonged only to Huo Juncheng.

"It was my fault for not explaining it to you properly at the beginning, but you can't be so distrustful of me, right? I really don't like Chu Xi, and I didn't expect Chu Xi to be such a resourceful woman, which is why I fell for her tricks again and again. But I promise there won't be a third time, okay?"

Huo Juncheng finished his words with a rising tone, full of charm. Lin Yilan had not yet recovered from the kiss just now, and now because of Huo Juncheng's sexy voice, her face became even redder with shyness.
