Chapter 105 A Little Shy
Resting her chin on her hand, Jiang Luo stared at him blankly, lost in thought.
He Ziyan is so handsome; whatever he does is like a painting, pleasing to the eye.
Such people should be preserved; looking at them every day will make your troubles disappear.
"Luo Luo," He Ziyan called softly.
"Um?"
"Could you..." He Ziyan turned his face to look at her, "...not stare at me like that?"
I'm a little shy.
Jiang Luo snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh."
Awkward.
She picked up her tray and stood up.
He Ziyan immediately followed the question with his gaze: "Where are we going?"
"do the washing up."
"Leave it there, I'll wash it."
Do I still have to wash the dishes?
You're practically buried in the bowl!
"Go back to sleep as soon as you finish eating."
"I'm not sleepy..." Before he could finish speaking, He Ziyan saw Jiang Luo wave her fist at him and immediately changed his mind: "Okay."
He then lowered his head.
Is this the real face of my sister?
It feels like I've boarded a pirate ship.
A tune drifted from behind, and He Ziyan stiffened.
The people behind it were delighted: This trick really works.
After having breakfast, He Ziyan obediently went back to his room to sleep, just as Jiang Luo had told him.
Hearing the door close next door, Shi Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally came out of her room with a tray of food.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Luo asked in surprise, "Weren't you here just now?"
Shi Yan: ...It's fine if He Ziyan can't see me, but you can't see me either. There's no place for me in this family anymore.
Seeing Shi Yan's deadpan expression, Jiang Luo felt guilty and offered solicitously, "I'll wash it."
Shi Yan: "Thank you for seeing me."
Jiang Luo: ...
After washing the dishes, Jiang Luo and Shi Yan went to the movie theater to watch a movie. They had only watched half of it when they received a message from He Ziyan.
He Ziyan: [Go see Lin Shuang.]
He actually remembered going to see Lin Shuang.
This person must be made of iron.
Jiang Luo had no choice but to leave Shi Yan behind and prepare to go out.
This time, the two didn't even try to hide it, swaggering out of the small house together.
Before leaving, He Ziyan walked up to the staff member, but before he could speak, the staff member interrupted, "I know, it's a private trip!"
He Ziyan smirked and said, "I ordered coffee for you, it will be delivered later."
"Thank you, Mr. He!"
After giving his instructions, He Ziyan turned around and was met with Jiang Luo's scrutinizing gaze.
He paused. "What's wrong?"
"So it turns out that President He also bribes others."
He Ziyan choked, then coughed lightly, "I'm leaving."
After getting in the car, with only the two of them away from the cameras, Jiang Luo finally asked the question that had been on her mind.
Before speaking, she let out a soft sigh to set the mood.
He Ziyan froze, holding his breath, his heart pounding in his throat.
This is bad. Very bad.
"Did you handle the website issue?"
Luo Luo was indeed able to spot it.
Starting the car, He Ziyan readily admitted, "Yes. It's me."
He hadn't intended to deceive Jiang Luo, but he hadn't expected her to find out so quickly.
Jiang Luo remained silent.
The car was quiet, with only the sound of the wind whistling in.
He Ziyan was prepared and adopted a good attitude of admitting his mistake, saying, "If you want to teach me a lesson, then teach me a lesson."
"No." Jiang Luo turned to look out the window. "I won't scold you."
Glancing at Jiang Luo, He Ziyan asked uncertainly, "Really?"
"What? Do you think I'm that fierce?"
He Ziyan whispered, "I didn't think so at first, but after you yelled at me this morning, I'm starting to think so now."
With a slight pout, Jiang Luo said, "This is the real me."
In a relationship, the worst thing you can do is to imagine things.
We label each other with countless imagined attributes, only to find that the reality doesn't match our expectations when we get to know each other, leading to arguments, rejection, and ultimately, conflict.
Jiang Luo wondered, without much confidence, whether she and He Ziyan could escape the common fate.
She didn't know either.
"Hmm." He Ziyan looked straight ahead, her eyebrows curving upwards. "You're quite cute even when you're fierce."
Jiang Luo: ...I'm being unconventional. But...I never expected President He to be so love-struck.
Jiang Luo: "By the way, did you see the news? The Lin Group held a press conference, and Lin Guoan apologized to the shareholders."
Lin Guoan is the father of Lin Wan and Lin Shuang.
He Ziyan hummed in agreement.
Jiang Luo scratched her hands: "Didn't we go too far?"
This "we" resonated deeply with He Ziyan.
He curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Luo Luo, if only you were half as soft-hearted towards me as you are towards them."
Jiang Luo: ...This conversation is impossible.
The sunlight outside the window was perfect, and the road surface looked as if it were covered with a layer of gold, shining brilliantly.
The two arrived at Lin Shuang's house as agreed.
"Ding-dong~"
The doorbell rang.
The door opened, and there stood Ji Bei!
He casually put on a short-sleeved shirt and wore a pair of baggy shorts.
Jiang Luo paused for a second, then took a step back to confirm the room number.
“This is Nana’s house, you’re not in the wrong place,” Ji Bei said with a grin.
Jiang Luo: "Nana?"
"Lin Shuang's nickname is Nana. Oh my, you didn't even know that?" It was a boastful tone.
Jiang Luo was speechless: Hmph. So what if you know Lin Shuang's nickname? I even appeared on the big screen of the Century Tower with your Nana! Hmph!
“Little monkey,” He Ziyan suddenly spoke.
Jiang Luo was puzzled.
Ji Bei exploded: "He Ziyan! Don't go too far!"
"Gossip?" Jiang Luo quickly asked, "What?"
He Ziyan explained leisurely, "Ji Bei's nickname is Little Monkey because he was too naughty when he was a child, just like a monkey."
Ji Bei raised his fist: "He Ziyan! You easily revealed my secret for the sake of a woman, I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
He Ziyan corrected: "It's not for a woman, it's for Luo Luo."
Looking at the two people arguing beside her, Jiang Luo shrugged: "He Ziyan is love-struck, love-struck."
Having walked past the edge of war, Jiang Luo went into the house first.
Lin Shuang was baking cookies in the kitchen, wearing an apron, her face rosy and in a good mood.
It seems that love, like a cup of wine, truly nourishes people.
Seeing that Lin Shuang's condition had improved, Jiang Luo's anxiety subsided.
Jiang Luo felt a little reluctant to discuss such heavy matters with Lin Shuang while she was in a good mood.
It has to be said eventually.
With renewed vigor, she walked over and said, "Lin Shuang, I have something to tell you."
The two entered the study.
Jiang Luo casually closed the door.
Turning around, I saw Lin Shuang standing at the window, bathed in sunlight, with a slight smile on her lips.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Luo uttered the words she had rehearsed countless times: "I have a pretty good idea of what Fu Jing is holding."
Lin Shuang remained calm, her expression unchanged. "Did Lin Wan tell you?"
These past few days, Ji Bei hasn't allowed her to go online. She's gotten better by staying away from the online distractions.
However, Ji Bei would always relay any news from outside to her.
For example, Jiang Luo and He Ziyan attended Lin Wan's birthday party yesterday.
“No.” Jiang Luo was still furious when she spoke of Lin Wan. “She pushed me into the water, but didn’t tell me anything.”
Lin Shuang only just learned that Jiang Luo had been pushed into the water by Lin Wan.
"She...pushed...you...into the pool?" Lin Shuang exclaimed in surprise, hurrying over. "Has she gone mad?"
She gripped Jiang Luo's shoulders, looking him over anxiously, and asked, "Are you hurt?"
