Chapter 157 The truth will eventually come out.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had handled the matter improperly. After much deliberation, he decided to give Xiao Ran some pointers.
If we were to be exposed, it would be no small matter!
Yan Xici and Xiao Ran had just returned home, and neither of them had had time to unpack.
Xiao Ran's phone rang.
He put the phone to his ear as he changed his shoes, "Hello, Mom."
Hearing that it was her mother-in-law on the phone, Yan Xici assumed it was to remind them about returning home.
She obediently carried the things she bought today and began to unpack.
The main reason was that there was something rather unusual in the plastic bag that made Yan Xici somewhat embarrassed to let Xiao Ran see it.
She doesn't plan to use it right now.
Instead, one day, when he can't hold it in anymore, he can take it out and tell him not to hold it in anymore!
Ugh, just thinking about it made Yan Xici's face burn.
That's absolutely shameless!
Xiao Ran changed his shoes, picked up his phone, and sat down on the sofa.
My mother's guilty voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ranran, your dad has already started stewing fish maw and bird's nest for Xici. He's so enthusiastic, it's making me feel uneasy."
Qiu Yuru covered her mouth and stood in front of the bedroom window, whispering.
Xiao Ran's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected his father to be so enthusiastic.
I feel inexplicably guilty right now.
"Oh, poor Dad."
The old man has really gone through a lot for his grandson. I can't even imagine what it would be like if his secret were exposed.
Qiu Yuru on the other end of the phone glanced behind her again to make sure Xiao Shengrong wasn't there.
Then he whispered into the phone, "What I mean is, why don't you talk to Xici about it? After all, if this gets out, the three of us are probably doomed. Your dad's stubborn temper is kicking in, and he might not agree again..."
After all, this is no small matter.
This is deceiving him about the most important thing in his heart. If Xiao Shengrong finds out the truth, who knows what he will do.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran fell into deep thought.
He blinked and looked at Yan Xici, who was squatting on the ground with her back to him.
Soft hair cascaded down the back of the delicate young girl.
Just seeing her back is enough to make one feel sorry for her.
Honestly, he really couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
After all, the truth hurts.
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't speak, Qiu Yuru became a little anxious.
"Oh dear, you should go and talk to Xici. That child is very sensible. I don't think there's any problem. What else can we do?"
This is the only option left.
Xiao Ran sighed, "Okay, I understand."
In fact, he understood in his heart that his mother's current idea was the safest one.
I just feel a little guilty.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran walked towards Yan Xici.
The girl was about to take what she was holding into the house to hide it when she heard footsteps.
My heart tightened.
Before she could hide, she saw Xiao Ran already standing in front of her.
Then he slowly squatted down.
Her eyelids twitched, and she instinctively tucked the item in her hand behind her back, gripping it tightly.
Her delicate face, so tender it looked like it could be pinched to release moisture, was filled with tension, and her eyes were filled with panic.
"You, how did you get here...?"
I didn't even have time to hide myself, so why did he come here now?
Xiao Ran was taken aback.
What's wrong with you?
Why that expression?
"No, nothing."
Yan Xici stammered.
Because of nervousness, even the muscles in his face were stiff, making him look very unnatural.
The pair of small hands hidden behind were sweating profusely.
Looking at her hands behind her back, it seemed like she was holding something shameful.
Xiao Ran tilted his head slightly and glanced behind her.
What's behind you?
?
Yan Xici's eyelids twitched.
What I feared most has come to pass!
The girl, like a startled fawn, instinctively shifted to the side. "It's nothing, no, it's none of your business!"
He silently prayed to God.
Hurry up and make him go away. If he sees what she's holding, she'll be dead on the spot!
Unfortunately, the more she acted this way, the more curious Xiao Ran became.
"show me?"
"No!"
Just one glance.
"no!"
At this moment, Yan Xici had only one thought in her mind: she absolutely could not let Brother Xiao Ran see what she was holding!
Otherwise, he would definitely think he was a female hooligan!
She's not that kind of girl!
Because of nervousness, a fine layer of sweat, glistening on the girl's forehead and the sides of her nose, had formed.
Her cheeks were flushed with a beautiful rosy blush, and she looked flustered and a little embarrassed.
This truly aroused Xiao Ran's curiosity to its peak.
My gut feeling tells me she definitely didn't take anything good!
Yan Xici felt that if the stalemate continued, he would definitely see what she had in her hand.
Thinking it over, she hurriedly stood up and rushed into her bedroom without hesitation. Even if she died today, she would not let him see her!
This is my own honor!
Xiao Ran was not about to let her go.
He chased after her as she ran.
Just as the door was about to close completely, Xiao Ran appeared in the crack with lightning speed.
"It hurts, it hurts so much."
