Xu Zhaoyue went downstairs and saw him waiting for her, so she teased, "So gentlemanly, are you going to help me over?"
Before Yue Lanxing could even process the teasing in her tone, he had already raised his hand. This thoughtless reaction made his expression, which had already come to his senses, appear somewhat blank.
Before Yue Lanxing could say anything or lower her arm, Xu Zhaoyue had already placed her hand on his arm. "Let's go. Actually, our family hasn't had these formalities for a long time. I only remember that when my mother was still alive, she would have someone help her up."
"I guess I'm just trying it out," Xu Zhaoyue said with a smile, she was in a good mood. "Straighten your back and lift your head, otherwise I'll really become the bad guy who oppresses you."
Yue Lanxing straightened her back as instructed, "No, I wanted to help myself, but I feel like I took Xiaonan's job."
"No, Xiao Nan wouldn't act as my armrest like that. You're here to fill the gap." Xu Zhaoyue glanced at Xiao Nan and noticed that she was unhappy. The reason for her unhappiness was probably that Xiao Nan had put her hand on Yue Lanxing's arm.
“When Miss has trouble wearing high heels, I’m the one who helps her!” Xiao Nan looked directly at Yue Lanxing, bypassing Xu Zhaoyue. Now Xu Zhaoyue was even more certain that Xiao Nan was unhappy with Yue Lanxing.
Hearing Xiao Nan's somewhat boastful tone, Yue Lanxing looked at the hand on his arm. If he said something in line with Xiao Nan's words, would it be considered vying for favor? Just like when he went to choose a dog, several dogs came up to him, but as soon as Qing Ying appeared, they ran away.
"Protecting Miss's safety is my responsibility," Yue Lanxing replied casually, showing no sign of jealousy. Xiao Nan, seeing the young lady's signal, didn't say anything more.
They chatted for a few minutes and before they knew it, they were outside. Xue Huzi and Tian Dai were waiting outside. When they saw Yue Lanxing and the young lady walking out together, Xue Huzi's eyes widened noticeably.
Xue Huzi turned around and talked to Tian Dai, his face full of gossip. Seeing how obvious he was being, Tian Dai kicked him and said, "Watch your tone."
"Oh!" Xue Huzi was jolted awake by the kick, and all those phrases like "a perfect match," "a golden couple," "a talented man and a beautiful woman," "a match made in heaven," and "a union made in heaven" were kicked out of his mind.
Yue Lanxing gestured to Xue Huzi to open the door. Xue Huzi was now focused on them, so he immediately saw Yue's hint and opened the car door in advance.
Yue Lanxing protected the young lady's head and helped her into the car. Xiao Nan entered the car through the other door. "Get in, let's go now." Yue Lanxing and Xue Huzi also got into the car.
"Drive smoothly," Xiao Nan instructed Yue Lanxing as he got into the car. "Okay," Yue Lanxing replied, starting the car, and they made it onto the road without incident.
"Xiao Nan, you and Hu Zi can go to the first floor of the Jinxi Hotel to buy some food later. Calculate the time and pick out a few dishes to take away." Xu Zhaoyue looked at the street scene and opened the curtains a crack to look outside.
Xiao Nan put her handbag aside. "I know. If you don't like it, Miss, just eat less. You can eat whatever you want when you get back."
