Chapter 68: Cold War
Lin Yilan never thought that Huo Juncheng would be so stingy. Just because she stood him up, Lin Yilan called him three times but he didn't answer.
She walked aimlessly and asked for leave from school so that she would not go to class in the afternoon. Because of Zhang Mengmeng's incident and Huo Juncheng was still angry, Lin Yilan was also in a bad mood.
After returning home, Lin Yilan found a pair of women's sneakers outside her door. However, they were not a big brand and the style was very old-fashioned. Even someone with such good taste as Lin Yilan would not like them.
What kind of woman dared to be in her house?
Lin Yilan was so angry that she directly pressed the password to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
A burly and strong lady stood in front of her, holding a kitchen knife in her hand. If you didn't know, you might think that Lin Yilan had offended Huo Juncheng in some way, so he found a master to get rid of Lin Yilan.
"Who are you?" the old lady yelled at Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan coughed twice, looked at the old lady anxiously and said, "Who am I? This is my home, and you still ask me who I am?"
"Is this your home? Then the owner of this house is my son!" The old lady was not to be outdone. She glared at Lin Yilan fiercely, thinking that the hostess of the house was at home. What was this woman's intention in coming here?
"Who is Sister Xia?"
Suddenly, Chu Xi's voice came from upstairs. Lin Yilan looked at Chu Xi and asked, "Who is this lady?"
"Is it Madam who is back? I was cleaning upstairs just now, so I forgot to tell Sister Xia. Sister Xia is the hostess of our house! From now on, you can call me Madam like me." Chu Xi said as she walked downstairs with a picturesque smile.
Sister Xia lowered her head in embarrassment. She looked at Lin Yilan with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I promise you there won't be a next time!"
Sister Xia was terrified. She was afraid that she would lose her job because of such a misunderstanding.
Although Lin Yilan didn't say anything, Sister Xia was still scared.
"Sister Xia, you don't have to worry too much. We will live and eat in this house from now on. It's up to you to take care of us." After saying this, Lin Yilan smiled at Sister Xia.
There was still no news from Huo Juncheng, and he did not return to the villa.
In the dead of night, Lin Yilan lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Could it be that Huo Juncheng didn't want to live anymore? Just because he was angry with her, he didn't need her to warm him up.
When she thought of this, Lin Yilan became furious.
Lin Yilan got up in the middle of the night, opened the door of the practice room and locked herself inside.
Lin Yilan was so angry that she took out her anger on a sandbag. After two punches, the sandbag in the practice room turned into a piece of rag, and there was sand all over the floor.
It would be a lie to say Chu Xi didn't hear such a loud commotion, but even if she did, she still pretended not to hear it! She was now hoping that Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng would break up sooner rather than later, and it would be best if the two of them would never have anything to do with each other again!
However, things don't always go as planned.
At one o'clock in the morning, Huo Juncheng finally returned home with his exhausted body. As soon as he entered the house, Huo Juncheng slumped down on the sofa. He poured himself a glass of boiled water and was about to drink it when he suddenly heard a noise.
Huo Juncheng thought there was a thief in his house!
The entire door of the villa was filled with rags and sand, which frightened Huo Juncheng so much that he stood outside the door and looked at it repeatedly several times until he was sure that he had not gone to the wrong place. Then he opened the door carefully.
The room was silent. It seemed that with Lin Yilan's skills, nothing would happen to her, right?
Huo Juncheng thought so in his heart. He tiptoed upstairs and just opened the bedroom door when Lin Yilan punched him in the nose.
"Little thief!" Lin Yilan had no idea that the person outside the door was Huo Juncheng, and she shouted arrogantly.
It was not until she saw Huo Juncheng's nosebleed flowing down his hand that she panicked.
"What are you doing?" Huo Juncheng glanced at Lin Yilan and roared angrily.
Originally, this matter was not entirely Lin Yilan's fault. She just heard someone tiptoeing outside the door, and who knew that the punch would hit Huo Juncheng in the face.
"How do I know it's you and not a thief? Besides, why do you act like a thief when you return to your own home?" Lin Yilan went into the bathroom unhappily and got an ice towel for Huo Juncheng.
While the two were arguing, there was suddenly a rapid knock on the door.
Lin Yilan responded and went to open the door. Sister Xia and Chu Xi were standing outside in fear.
"Is there a thief in the house? I just heard someone shouting, should we call the police, ma'am?" Sister Xia looked around in panic. If someone really broke into such a big villa, would the three of them be able to handle it with their skinny bodies?
When Chu Xi looked closely, he saw Huo Juncheng sitting on the bed in the room.
Chu Xi pushed Sister Xia and kept winking at her: "It's okay, Sister Xia, you should go back to sleep. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."
"How can that be? Such a big villa, the things inside must be very valuable. I can't afford to compensate if something is lost. Let me tell you, it's better to call the police..." Sister Xia was still standing outside the door and chattering non-stop.
Huo Juncheng wiped the blood off his face, stood up and walked straight out the door.
"It's me." He looked at Chu Xi and Sister Xia and said indifferently.
As soon as Chu Xi saw Huo Juncheng, she quickly introduced Sister Xia to him: "I found this live-in auntie. Her name is Sister Xia. She cooks delicious food. Mr. Huo, if you feel there is anything inappropriate, please let me know immediately. If you feel Sister Xia is not suitable, I will find another auntie."
Sister Xia's face turned pale. She had just met the male host for the first time, and how come he was talking about firing her?
What's more, she was the only one in such a big villa! Cleaning it was already very tiring, so was she still making such harsh demands?
Huo Juncheng nodded: "If there is nothing else, you can rest first."
Chu Xi nodded, then took Sister Xia's arm and left.
Now that everyone had left, Lin Yilan didn't need to pretend anymore. She still had a cold face and didn't want to say a single extra word to Huo Juncheng.
How could a man as proud as Huo Juncheng coax her for something he did not do wrong? What's more, he was punched by Lin Yilan and had a nosebleed just after entering the door. Naturally, Huo Juncheng would not take the initiative to bow his head.
Lin Yilan was originally still struggling with how to sleep tonight. She was wondering whether she should take the initiative to ask to go to the guest room. Before she could say anything, Huo Juncheng had already opened the door and walked out.
He left and did not return for one night.
Lin Yilan angrily grabbed the pillow and threw it on the ground.
The first thing Lin Yilan did after getting up was to plan to move out!
She doesn't want to live her life according to Huo Juncheng's mood.
I only had a few pieces of clothing, so I packed my luggage quickly.
Lin Yilan came down from upstairs carrying a large box and sat at the dining table waiting for the sandwich that Sister Xia would make for her.
