Chapter 28 028 "Have you never been jealous?" ...
"Ah, I get it. You don't have the same worries as me," Lan Hui said, pressing his lips into a straight line to express his silence. "I give in. I'm desperate and trying anything I can."
As the only idle outsider in the family, he couldn't complain to his excellent sister when he was a child. Even when he grew up and was about to get engaged, Lan Xi didn't understand his anxiety. He found that sharing his troubles with her was the worst decision.
He left quickly, almost bumping into someone at the door. It was Liang Qing. Lan Hui always remembered him as someone with a gloomy look, but today his face was unexpectedly rosy... Could it be that Lan Xi's engagement was a happy occasion for him?
The sound of the door closing was still not heard, so Lan Xi turned around to see what that brat Lan Hui was up to.
The person at the door looked a little dazed.
"Liang Qing, come here." The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and even her tone rose a lot.
He walked forward slowly, his pupils reflected in the makeup mirror, his eyes still blank, his gaze fixed on her lips.
"What's the matter?"
Lan Xi took his hand and pulled him into her arms, letting him sit on her lap and wrapping her arms around his waist. Liang Qing was always easy to hold; she loved hugging him from behind, his slender waist easily clasped. Then she rested her chin on his shoulder, a perfect fit.
She liked his lower abdomen more, it was so soft that she couldn't let go.
He let her touch him for a long time without saying a word. Lan Xi nudged his lower back, signaling him to stand up. They then faced each other. "That's it. You've become a fool just as we're in love."
Liang Qing said softly: "No... I just think you are really beautiful."
He couldn't break his habit of wearing makeup before going out. After living with Lan Xi, he always woke up earlier than her and rushed to wash and put on makeup. He didn't put on too much makeup, just to cover up the dark circles and fatigue.
When Liang Qing heard Lan Xi say that she liked his sleeping face, her heart skipped a beat and she became even more determined to get up early.
"I've always been very good-looking," Lan Xi tightened her grip around his waist. "Isn't it a bit late for you to realize this now?"
"No..." Liang Qing's center of gravity was unstable in this posture, and he almost fell on her. "This is the first time I see you wearing makeup."
"What do you think is the most beautiful part?" Lan Xi raised her head. "Let me guess, it's not the mouth, right?"
Liang Qing's thoughts were exposed, and he realized how obvious his eyes were. He lowered his head shyly, but Lan Xi didn't give him a chance to hide, and kissed him the next moment.
A little bit of bright red smudged onto his lips.
At this moment, the half-closed door of the dressing room opened from the outside, and Shen Su stepped in: "Sister, have you seen Lan Hui..."
In front of the bright makeup mirror, the alpha who was getting engaged today hugged her assistant and kissed her passionately.
"Sorry!" She was so shocked by the scene that she was speechless. She hurriedly retreated and closed the door.
Liang Qing could hardly hide the panic on his face: "What if she's discovered...? What if she tells others..."
"Just say it." Lan Xi didn't care.
She thought about it again. To outsiders, she had just announced her engagement to Qin Xing, and then she immediately got together with her assistant after he ran away. This was indeed not a good thing for Liang Qing. Besides, her father...
"Don't worry, Shen Su won't tell." She gently stroked Liang Qing's waist.
"..." Liang Qing bit his lip anxiously.
At the beginning, it was Shen Su who even introduced Lan Xi to the position of assistant. At that time, she probably didn't think that the person she introduced would be with the boss. Would she think he...
No matter who found out, he couldn't help but think of these terrible scenarios.
"What do you think of Chen Su?" Lan Xi suddenly asked.
"That's good. She's very eager to help me."
"That's right, I think she's good too. She's worthy of our trust, so she won't tell anyone else," Lan Xi stared into his eyes, "Isn't that right?"
Liang Qing couldn't refute: "...Yes."
But he couldn't help but think the worst. Even if Chen Su didn't say anything, their relationship would be discovered one day. Liang Qing was afraid of being discovered.
As you feel happiness, your fear of loss doubles.
"Let's announce it after a while." Lan Xi said.
He was terrified. "Don't tell me yet, okay? Can you tell me in advance when you want to announce it?"
He looked too nervous, so Lan Xi immediately nodded in agreement.
*
At the appointed time, both the Lan and Qin families arrived on time. Lan Xi observed the Qin family's expressions with interest. When her father asked, "Why didn't Qin Xing come?", they were obviously embarrassed.
"He's not feeling well and can't go out," Mrs. Qin explained, "so I'm sorry I didn't come."
Lan Xi added fuel to the fire at the right moment: "But he is very important at the engagement party."
She absolutely did not believe that Qin Xing's escape from marriage and going abroad had not been leaked.
At this moment, Lan's father's face was not looking good: "This is a major event in the child's life, so let's wait until he is better..."
"It's okay. It's okay if he doesn't come." Mrs. Qin thought the marriage was a done deal, but she panicked when she saw Mrs. Lan's expression was not right. "He's very obedient. We, as parents, can just make the arrangements for him."
"Very obedient?" Father Lan laughed meaningfully, shook his head, and turned to talk to the Shen family.
Mrs. Qin turned to hold Lan Xi, but Lan Xi refused: "I'm so sorry, I still want to wait for Qin Xing to come and get engaged to me."
Lan Xi looked frustrated and disappointed on the surface, but in fact, she could hardly suppress the smile on her face and secretly grabbed the hem of her clothes.
She looked at Liang Qing in the crowd. He had been looking at her, but when he was discovered, he lowered his head timidly. Lan Xi felt an urge to go over and hold his hand in public.
The cooler and more indifferent he appeared in front of others, the more she wanted to mess him up in private.
On the other side, Lan Hui was already sweating profusely.
He felt that the eyes of the two elders of the Shen family looked at him as if they were evaluating some harmful substances. It was so sharp that he couldn't help but hide next to Shen Su. However, this action made the eyes of the Shen family even sharper.
The Shen family was willing to get engaged entirely because of Shen Su's personal wish. They didn't care about the Lan family's status and wealth, and they even disliked Lan Hui, a sloppy rich second-generation with little education and strengths.
“Susu, I’m scared…” He whispered while holding Shen Su’s hand.
Chen Su patted the back of his hand. It seemed that she had long been accustomed to this alpha's reliance on her.
Something happened in the Qin family today, so the focus of the engagement banquet was all on them. She knew how happy Lan Hui was when he learned that Lan Xi was going to get engaged on the same day as him, and she also knew that her parents had some complaints about Lan Hui.
In fact, their attitude has already softened enough. If they really didn't approve of Lan Hui, they wouldn't have come today.
Shen Su suddenly recalled the scene he saw when he broke into the dressing room.
She didn't know when Liang Qing and Lan Xi got together, but considering Qin Xing's absence today, and based on Shen Su's understanding of Lan Xi... she probably never wanted to marry into the Qin family.
But these actions could not be hidden from Uncle Lan.
After dinner, in the banquet hall lounge.
Lan Xi let Liang Qing sit on her lap and gently bit the back of his neck. She could only be intimate with him in private, and in order to avoid being exposed, she had to resist the urge to inject pheromones. She was almost going crazy.
Beta has no pheromones of its own, nor can it remove the pheromones of others that have stained it. Liang Qing was already covered in pheromones within three hours of being apart from her. Although the amount was extremely subtle, it also caused her restlessness.
She wanted to seal Liang Qing in an isolation mask, fill the mask with her pheromones, and make him smell like sweet vanilla forever.
"Do I have someone else's pheromones on me?" Liang Qing sensed her dissatisfaction.
"have."
"But if you bite me now, they will discover your pheromones, right?"
Lan Xi nodded: "It's really uncomfortable. If you can't bite, how are you going to compensate me?"
Liang Qing obviously didn't understand: "Compensation..."
He didn't understand pheromones, and only superficially understood them as something like perfume. In his opinion, it was like he went to eat hot pot and got the smell of hot pot all over his body, and Lan Xi smelled it and angrily sprinkled vanilla on him.
"Stupid," Lan Xi pressed his shriveled glands with her fingertips, "Aren't you angry because I'm close to someone else? Haven't you ever been jealous?"
"Weren't you jealous at all when I was on a date?"
Liang Qing shook his head: "No."
"I said I was going to get engaged to Qin Xing, and you weren't jealous?"
"It's very uncomfortable, but... I wouldn't say I'm jealous," Liang Qing observed her expression carefully, "because it was your choice."
But the more he spoke, the darker Lan Xi's face grew, and the hand on the back of his neck dropped. Liang Qing fell silent, thinking he'd said something wrong again. Shouldn't he have said he wasn't jealous? But he was even more reluctant to admit that he had such feelings. He didn't want to show any negative emotions to the person he loved.
Bad moods can lead to negative reactions.
The atmosphere was filled with a startling silence. Liang Qing slowly moved, trying to get out of Lan Xi's embrace. He was tactful and wouldn't wait for her to make a move.
But Lan Xi held him down. She seemed to want to say something when someone knocked on the door. "Is the young lady there? Madam wants you to come over."
"Wait until I come back."
Lan Xi rubbed his hair.
She couldn't hide the fact that she was secretly encouraging Qin Xing from her father, and she didn't want to hide it. But when she saw her father's serious face, Lan Xi still weakened a little: "Father."
"Did you arrange for Qin Xing to go abroad?" Lan's father went straight to the point.
"It's me."
"Since you sent him away, you have to be responsible for finding him back."
Lan Xi of course refused: "I won't look for him. He really doesn't want to get engaged to me, so I won't force him."
Lan's father was almost laughing out of anger: "Who is more unwilling to get engaged?"
Lan Xi pursed her lips.
"I always thought you were very obedient," Father Lan pointed outside the door, "Why is it different this time?"
He paused, and without waiting for Lan Xi to speak, he spoke again: "Liang Qing, he is not suitable."
"Why? Family background? Can't you provide me with support?" Lan Xi looked him straight in the eyes. "That's because you think it's inappropriate. I don't care about that. What I care about is my own feelings, and you, father, don't care about my feelings either."
This time it was Lan's father's turn to be speechless.
He didn't think he was a cold-hearted father, but he simply didn't notice his child's change of heart in time. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is he willing to stand with you?"
"he……"
Lan Xi remembered what she had promised Liang Qing before and changed her words: "Give me some time, I believe he will be willing."
Unexpectedly, her father didn't stop her. Instead, he gently reminded her, "But I don't think he has the determination. You can't help him take on the responsibility and arrange everything. Even if you are together, you will eventually break up for various reasons."
Determination. The determination to stand with her.
Lan Xi, who wanted to refute, was stunned. She remembered Liang Qing's denial and caution in the lounge just now, and his panicked look as he didn't want her to make her feelings public.
What on earth is he afraid of?
