"Xiaohan, didn't you eat breakfast this morning? I didn't hear what you said just now." Long Yi looked at Lin Yahan with a smile.
Lin Yahan was immediately furious. How could she not know that Long Yi was deliberately teasing her, but with Lin Wu present, she could only endure it obediently.
"I say, Mr. Long, Xiaohan wishes you good morning!" She raised her voice and said this almost gritting her teeth.
"I heard it clearly. Good morning to you too, Xiaohan." Long Yi shrugged and showed a harmless smile.
Lin Wu said meaningfully, "Mr. Long, I see that you and Xiaohan are old friends. Why don't you let her take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation for the next few days?"
When Lin Yahan heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.
A trace of sadness welled up in her heart. She was just a distant branch of the Lin family, living a poor life on their small piece of land in the capital, and her parents had no status at all in the Lin family.
As the chief steward, Lin Wu holds a high position in the Lin family. Lin Yahan is completely unable to resist his orders.
Although Lin Yahan didn't dislike Long Yi, no one would be happy to be given to someone else without dignity like a gift.
"Are you going to use a honey trap on me?" Long Yi laughed in his heart.
Lin Yahan is indeed a beauty, and is a well-deserved campus belle of Beijing University. If she is willing to enter the entertainment industry, she will surely become a new rising star in the mainland in the future.
But even such a top beauty was handed over to Long Yi by the Lin family without any dignity just because she was from a side branch.
After all, a top-level alchemist, coupled with the strength of a master of the Great Ghost Outer Family, is a rare ally in the eyes of the Lin family.
Not to mention that Lin Yahan is a beautiful distant relative, as long as she can win over Long Yi, it is worth it no matter how much it costs.
Long Yi did not tease Lin Yahan this time. Instead, he gave her a comforting look and nodded, "Butler Lin, thank you very much for your kindness."
"Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!" Lin Wu also burst into a hearty smile and patted Long Yi's shoulder lightly, as if he was facing a close friend he had known for many years.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Wu left on the pretext of having something to do. At this time, Lin Yahan and Long Yi looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lin Yahan came to Yandu this time as a bargaining chip sent out by her family for marriage, but now she was intercepted by Long Yi by accident, which may not be a bad thing for her.
Rather than marrying a playboy whom she has never met, she would be happier to be with Long Yi.
After all, this guy... doesn't seem that annoying, especially after what happened last night, he inexplicably felt a sense of security towards Long Yi.
"Why isn't Xiaolan with you?" Long Yi broke the silence.
"Xiaolan was very scared last night. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She finally calmed down at seven o'clock in the morning and just fell asleep now." After Lin Yahan finished answering, she looked directly at Long Yi and asked about the confusion in her heart.
"Long Yi, who are you? Why did you tell them your name is Long Xuan? Which is your real name?
Also, why is there such a terrifying guard like Big Ghost, who can even make the Lin family's chief steward come out in person to show his goodwill? Stop using the words "Big Ghost is your friend" to fool me. I can see that he only obeys your orders. "
She asked all the questions in her mind in rapid succession, looking directly at Long Yi, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
"Whether it's Long Yi or Long Xuan, it's just a title, it doesn't matter." Long Yi said slowly: "As for who I am, do you dare to believe me when I tell you?
I am a master of magic, and I practice both internal and external cultivation. My strength is comparable to that of the Sword Saint Lu Jiutian. As for the big ghost, he is not a living person, but a puppet I made of copper and iron."
Lin Yahan pursed her lips slightly, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and after a while she smiled brightly and said, "I believe you! You will definitely not lie to me."
This time it was Long Yi's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that the girl would not believe such an outrageous thing, but he did not expect that the girl would say that she believed him with a sweet and innocent look on her face.
Lin Yahan slowly lowered her head, her pair of jade feet in transparent high heels constantly tapping on the ground due to nervousness. She sighed:
"Long Yi, I don't care what your true identity is, but now the Lin family has given me to you, so I will follow you.
Actually, I lied to you on the bus before. I didn't come to Yandu to participate in any academic competition, but because I became a sacrifice in a family marriage, and I will be given to a playboy as soon as the martial arts competition is over.
Fortunately, I have met you now. Although I am giving it to you like a toy, at least I don’t dislike you. I even feel a little dependent on you.
Long Yi looked down and saw tears flashing in the girl's eyes. Because of her stubbornness, the tears in her eyes never fell.
He actually felt a little pity for Lin Yahan. A girl from a big family, if she didn't have a strong background to support her, would most likely become a victim of family interests.
"Brother Yi, maybe marrying you... or being your lover would be the best destination for me." Lin Yahan said softly, and the tears in her eyes slowly slid down her cheeks after she said this.
The girl's defenses were broken. If Long Yi didn't want her, she would probably face the fate of an arranged marriage.
In addition to compassion, a soft light finally flashed in Long Yi's eyes. He slowly stepped forward and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Well, I've committed too many sins lately, so I'll just do a good deed to wash away the bad karma. Since we met by chance on the bus, we have some friendship. What's wrong with protecting you with a smile as beautiful as a flower?" Long Yi thought.
After wiping the tears from her cheeks, Lin Yahan turned back into that quirky and sharp-tongued girl and said cunningly:
"Mr. Long, I was just pretending to be pitiful. Are you falling in love with me?"
Long Yi burst out laughing.
If they had met when they just came out of Taohua Village, he might have fallen in love with this quirky girl.
But now he already has countless confidantes, Ling Bingqian, Chen Qianqian, Li Yutong, Li Yining... Each of them has a stunning appearance and different personalities. As they get along with each other, Long Yi's threshold for beauty has also increased a lot.
Now, even if he meets a beautiful girl, he won't be easily moved by her like before.
Long Yi did not express his true thoughts, after all, these words were too depressing.
What's more, he could see that Lin Yahan was just forcing a smile to maintain her final decency.
After all, Lin Yahan was at the age of budding, and had not yet experienced the colorful outside world, but was forced to become a bargaining chip in the exchange of family interests, and had no choice but to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of her life.
