Chapter 374: Perfect Match
The next morning.
It was already seven o'clock when Lan Yan came out of the guest room.
She went to bed a little late last night because she was a bit attached to her bed and didn't sleep very well.
After she went downstairs, she met the Xiao family's housekeeper.
Last night, Xiao Si brought back someone, but the housekeeper didn't know about it.
So, when the housekeeper saw her, he was stunned.
"Excuse me, young lady, who are you?"
Lan Yan smiled lightly and replied politely, "Sorry to bother you. I'm a friend of Dr. Xiao. I stayed here for one night."
After hearing this, the butler was stunned for a moment, then instantly smiled happily.
"I see. Excuse me, please. What should I call you?" asked the housekeeper.
"Just call me Lan Yan."
Lan Yan saw that he was old and guessed that he was the elder in Xiao Si's family.
The housekeeper looked at her lovingly and said, "I am the housekeeper of this family. Everyone calls me Uncle Cheng. Miss Lan Yan can also call me that."
It was the first time that Cheng Bo saw his young master bring someone home, and it was a girl.
If the master and mistress knew about this, they would be so happy that they would die.
"Miss Lanyan, do you have any dietary restrictions for breakfast?" Cheng Bo looked at her and asked with a smile.
Lan Yan didn't plan to have breakfast here, she just wanted to leave quickly.
"Um, Cheng Bo, don't bother me. I want to go back."
She was just about to ask him if he could arrange a car for her.
However, Xiao Si's voice rang out from behind her: "Uncle Cheng, go prepare breakfast."
Lan Yan turned around and looked at her.
Xiao Si yawned and walked down the stairs.
"Have breakfast before going back. I'm going back to the hospital soon, so let's go together."
He said this to Lan Yan.
Since he said so, Lan Yan couldn't refuse.
"good."
Xiao Si walked up to her and suddenly bent down and got close to her.
Lan Yan was startled by his action and her body leaned back involuntarily.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
Xiao Si stared at her intently and suddenly said this.
Lan Yan: “…”
She stretched out her right hand, placed her index finger against his left chest, and pushed gently.
Xiao Si stood up straight.
Lan Yan said speechlessly: "Doctor Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it nicely, don't get so close!"
Cheng Bo, who was standing by, took a look silently, then turned and left with a smile on his face.
Xiao Si looked at her cold face and felt a little relieved.
He quipped, "You're not shy anymore, are you?"
“…”
In fact, he didn't have much contact with Lan Yan.
Every time I see her, she is almost always with Su He.
"I find that you are even more aloof than your sister-in-law."
Lan Yan naturally knew that the younger brother and sister-in-law he was referring to were her eldest brother.
But she did not answer him.
Xiao Si's thin lips curled slightly. "Although you are all quite aloof, your aloofness really means you don't talk much. Do you usually never communicate with anyone except your patients?"
In his impression, it seemed that he had hardly ever heard her speak.
Every time I speak, it's just one or two sentences.
Lan Yan looked at him calmly and said, "Doctor Xiao, not everyone is a chatterbox like you."
Lan Yan was indeed right in describing this point.
"Isn't it bad to be a chatterbox?" he asked back.
Lan Yan said, "Doctor Xiao, if there was a mosquito buzzing in your ear all day long, would it annoy you?"
Xiao Si understood that she was comparing him to an annoying mosquito.
"But don't you think mosquitoes are cute?"
Lan Yan: “…”
She didn't really want to talk to him, so she turned and left.
Xiao Si found that teasing her was quite interesting.
The two finished breakfast and were about to go out.
Xiao's father and mother also came back at this time.
Xiao Si raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dad, Mom, why are you back so early in the morning?"
Lan Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xiao's father and mother.
But she still greeted politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Xiao's mother ignored her son, but walked forward a few steps, pushed him away, and then took Lan Yan's hand with a warm look on her face.
Xiao Si: "..."
"Girl, what's your name?" Xiao's mother asked with a smile.
Lan Yan has always been afraid of other people's enthusiasm, especially the enthusiasm of elders.
She smiled a little forcedly: "Auntie, you can just call me Lanyan, Lan as in blue, Yan as in fireworks."
When Xiao's mother heard it, she praised: "This name is nice, and it matches the name of our Xiao Si."
Lan Yan was confused. How did it get to this point?
As soon as Xiao Si heard it, he knew his mother had misunderstood.
Lan Yan was not a little girl who knew nothing. She knew that Xiao's mother had misunderstood her relationship with Dr. Xiao.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. Doctor Xiao and I are just ordinary friends."
Maybe they are not even ordinary friends because they have little in common.
After hearing this, Xiao's mother did not feel disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are just ordinary friends now, but it may not be the same in the future."
Lan Yan: “…”
She didn't know what to say, so she could only look up at Xiao Si and let him solve it himself.
Xiao Si sighed helplessly.
Then, he put his hands on Xiao's mother's shoulders, turned her around, and pushed her back to Xiao's father.
"Dear mother, I'm going to be late for work."
Mother Xiao glared at him: "I'm not disturbing you, I'm talking to Yanyan."
"Yan Yan?" Xiao Si looked at his mother speechlessly.
Mother Xiao looked at Lan Yan and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, you don't mind your aunt calling you that, right?"
Although Lan Yan was embarrassed, she still smiled and said, "I don't mind, Auntie."
To be honest, no one had ever called her that in her life, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Xiao Si said, "Mom, please don't misunderstand me. Doctor Lan and I are just ordinary friends. Don't scare her. She is shy."
After saying that, he walked away.
Seeing this, Lan Yan had no choice but to apologize to Xiao's mother, "Um, Auntie, we'll leave first."
Xiao's mother always looked at her with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, go ahead. Remember to come to my house and play when you have time."
After the others had gone far away, Father Xiao finally spoke up and said, "Alright, stop looking. The girl is not interested in your son."
Although Father Xiao didn't say anything just now, he could see that Lan Yan had no feelings for that brat of his.
Xiao's mother was unhappy. She said, "There's a saying that goes, 'Love grows over time.' Don't you understand? Just because you don't feel anything now doesn't mean you won't feel anything in the future. Besides, they look so well-matched in every way: looks, height, even their professions as doctors. It's like they say, 'Birds of a feather flock together.'"
