Chapter 21 Protect Yourself
Ling Ye felt burning hot all over. He swallowed hard as he stared at Fang Lanxin.
The moonlight shone down and fell on Fang Lanxin, making her look even more like a fairy, which aroused many inappropriate thoughts in Ling Ye!
He immediately suppressed all those filthy thoughts, then held the person in his arms and walked into the villa, carefully placing the person on the soft bed.
He thought it was over, but to his utter surprise, when he was about to leave, Fang Lanxin suddenly grabbed his wrist and refused to let go.
With no other choice, Ling Ye could only sit on the carpet by the bed, prop his chin up with one hand, and stare at Fang Lanxin.
Legend has it that Madam Huo is over forty years old, but Ling Ye can't see any signs of aging on her face; she looks to be only in her thirties.
Especially her silly antics tonight made her seem even younger.
Almost instinctively, Ling Ye reached out and gently traced her eyebrows and eyes with his rough fingers.
One blow after another, and soon Ling Ye realized what he had done, and pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.
"Crazy?"
Ling Ye muttered to himself. He was well aware of the difference between himself and Fang Lanxin, but he just couldn't help wanting to get closer.
She is dangerous, yet so captivating.
The next day, early morning.
When Fang Lanxin opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face so close to her. She immediately woke up, sat up abruptly, and frowned at Ling Ye sitting on the carpet.
She made quite a commotion, waking Ling Ye up as well. Somewhat confused, he met her wary gaze.
"Madam, you're awake?"
"Does your head hurt? Would you like some hangover soup?"
Ling Ye had just woken up, his voice a little hoarse, somewhat different from his usual rebellious self, and with an indescribable magnetism.
What are you doing in my room?
Fang Lanxin had calmed down by this time. She stepped forward and raised an eyebrow at Ling Ye.
"Little brat, doing something bad?"
Fang Lanxin's casual remark was clearly just her teasing the child.
However, Ling Ye's own intentions were impure, and his face flushed red instantly. He hurriedly got up and walked out, but after sitting all night, his legs were so weak that he fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
"Ha ha!"
Fang Lanxin laughed without a care in the world.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ling Ye make such a fool of himself, and she found it quite amusing.
Following Fang Lanxin's laughter, one could see her curved eyebrows and eyes, which even seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.
Ling Ye even wished time could stop at this moment. He lay on the ground, not moving for a long time.
Fang Lanxin was laughing when she noticed Ling Ye had stopped moving. Thinking something had happened, she tapped his waist barefoot and asked, "What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself?"
"No...no."
Ling Ye immediately got up, feeling a tingling sensation in his lower back. His gaze inadvertently fell on Fang Lanxin's fair and delicate instep, and he blushed with embarrassment, his words becoming incoherent. He scrambled out of the room on all fours.
"puff!"
Fang Lanxin sat on the bed, laughed out loud, and casually swung her snow-white legs.
All the messy feelings from yesterday seemed to vanish in this morning's antics.
Fang Lanxin tidied herself up, put on her favorite elegant cheongsam, and went downstairs.
The maid had prepared breakfast and hangover soup early in the morning.
Upon seeing the hangover soup, Fang Lanxin knew that Ling Ye must have ordered them to make it, since only Ling Ye knew that she was drunk.
Fang Lanxin pointed to the hangover soup: "Where's Ling Ye?"
"He... said he had something to do and went out," the maid replied cautiously.
Fang Lanxin didn't say anything else, picked up the hangover soup, and drank it sip by sip.
Before he had even finished reading the morning newspaper, Guan Yu had already pushed open the door and walked in.
He seemed to have rushed over, and sat down opposite Fang Lanxin: "Something's happened!"
"Have you had breakfast?" Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow and looked at Guan Erye: "What's the big deal? Why are you so nervous, Erye?"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Lanxin saw what Guan Erye had said in the newspaper. It turned out that the photo of Ling Ye riding a motorcycle with her had been published in the newspaper, and everyone was saying that Ling Ye was her kept man.
When Guan Yu saw the news that morning, he was so angry that his face turned white, and he immediately went to find Fang Lanxin.
"These reporters really have no taste."
Fang Lanxin didn't take it to heart, silently put down the newspaper, and looked towards Guan Yu.
She chuckled and gently lifted Guan Yu's chin with her fork: "Clearly, Guan Yu, you're the one who's my gigolo!"
Originally, Guan Yu was filled with anger, but now it has turned into a burning desire.
He instinctively grabbed Fang Lanxin's wrist and pulled her forward: "How about we publish a statement in the newspaper declaring that we are a couple?"
"Second Master... are you asking me for a title?" Fang Lanxin leaned half her body over the table, her gaze intense as she stared at him. "Second Master, are you ready?"
Even though Guan Yu was eager to get started, he knew that now was not the best time.
After all, their affairs are not up to them to decide. The Huo family and the Guan family are both centuries-old families, and the two families have a long history of grudges. If this matter is really published in the newspaper, both families will probably explode!
"Then what are we?"
"friend."
Fang Lanxin had already suppressed all her emotions.
A maid rushed over: "Madam, the Huo family mansion called and said that the second master of the second branch has arrived and they want you to go back."
"snort!"
Fang Lanxin gave a disdainful snort.
"Who does he think he is, to order me back?"
This matter is most likely fabricated by the second wife based on mere rumors. They want to play the fox but don't even know how to show their true colors. They just come to our door to show off their power. It's utterly ridiculous.
"Just say I'm still hungover."
Fang Lanxin coldly gave an order.
Immediately afterwards, she stood up, raised an eyebrow and looked at Guan Yu: "Don't worry, Master Guan, I naturally have a way to get away. You should go back first."
"So heartless, you're kicking me out like this?" Guan Erye stood up, grabbed Fang Lanxin's wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
Fang Lanxin tapped his chest and smiled, "Second Master, it's truly a merit to come and deliver the message."
"Oh? So how do you plan to reward me?" Guan Yu hooked Fang Lanxin's chin, his gaze intense.
Fang Lanxin, however, was not stingy at all. She leaned forward and gave him a big kiss: "Is this enough?"
"Alan, you must take good care of yourself." Guan Erye pinched her cheek with some concern.
Fang Lanxin smiled faintly: "Second Master is the one who needs to take good care of himself."
