Xia Linan was in the room upstairs, pressing close to the door, trying to hear if the two people downstairs were arguing.

But she didn't need to worry at all, because Xia Yansi had such a calm and gentle personality that no one could argue with him.

Even if Ma Siluo became anxious and impatient, Xia Yansi would still maintain his calm and unhurried attitude.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin'an felt relieved a little, but then she became worried again because she was eager to know whether Xia Yansi would seize the happiness in front of him.

These two people, one is her brother and the other is her friend. She hopes that they can be well. If they can form a happy couple, Xia Linan will sincerely bless them.

What's more, in her opinion, Ma Siluo and Xia Yansi are a good match. No matter in which aspect, the two of them standing together are pleasing to the eye.

Xia Linan wanted to hear what the people below were saying, but the villa was too well soundproofed. She anxiously said to another person in the room, "Fu Yiming, what do you think my brother will talk about with Si Luo?"

"Oh, that's not right. What do you think will be the outcome after they talk?" Xia Linan couldn't figure out the personalities of those two people, so he wanted to ask Fu Yiming whether the two would end up together or apart.

However, Fu Yiming seemed not to hear Xia Linan. He ignored her and did not reply.

Xia Lin'an looked back in confusion and saw Fu Yiming taking off his shirt and putting on a home T-shirt. He then saw him calmly taking off his pants and changing into comfortable home pants again.

Xia Linan watched the whole process in a daze before she realized what she was doing. Then she reacted belatedly, her face flushed, and she quickly looked away and shouted, "Fu Yiming, what are you doing? Why don't you go change your clothes..."

Xia Lin'an suddenly stopped because she felt a tall figure pressing towards her. She looked up and found that Fu Yiming had arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Xia Lin'an moved back towards the door, his pupils dilated as he stared at the handsome face in front of him, and asked stutteringly, "Fu, Fu Yiming, what do you want to do?"

Xia Lin'an originally wanted to blurt out "Don't **", but when she saw the serious expression on Fu Yiming's face, she immediately backed off.

Fu Yiming's handsome face was indeed tense, and his pair of phoenix eyes stared straight at Xia Lin'an, captivating him so much that Xia Lin'an forgot his normal breathing frequency and his heartbeat accelerated.

"Instead of worrying about other people's affairs, why not solve our own problems first?" Fu Yiming's deep voice sounded above Xia Lin'an's head.

Xia Linan was confused. She followed Fu Yiming's words and asked blankly, "What's our business?"

Fu Yiming glanced at the expression on Xia Lin'an's face, and then, as she exclaimed, he carried her around the waist on his shoulders, walked to the bed, and put Xia Lin'an in the middle of the bed.

Then, his tall body leaned over and pressed Xia Linan under him.

When Xia Linan came to her senses, she was already pinned down by Fu Yiming. She raised her eyelids, looked at the silent man above her, and asked timidly, "What's wrong with you?"

As sensitive as Xia Lin'an was, she had sensed the changes in Fu Yiming's emotions a long time ago. Even if Fu Yiming didn't say it out loud, she could sense it the moment he stepped back home. Fu Yiming was a little emotional, but Xia Lin'an couldn't guess what it was exactly.

Fu Yiming looked down at the serious and concerned expression on Xia Linan's little face, and he couldn't express the depression in his heart.

His throat was dry, and it slid up and down for a while, then he uttered three words: "Nothing."

After saying that, Fu Yiming turned over and lay on his back, holding Xia Linan in his arms.

Xia Lin'an was like a well-behaved kitten, not saying a word, nestling in Fu Yiming's warm arms.

After a long time, when Xia Linan was about to fall asleep, Fu Yiming's deep and magnetic voice sounded in her head: "Anan."

"Hmm?" Xia Lin'an pulled himself together, raised one eyelid, and uttered lazily.

Fu Yiming's big hand touched Xia Lin'an's back, patting her back intermittently, and said solemnly: "My parents returned to China yesterday."

As soon as Fu Yiming said this, Xia Lin'an reacted and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.

She was in Fu Yiming's arms, she raised her head and looked at him, meeting his calm gaze. She had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to say, but at that moment, for some reason, she blurted out, "Then let's meet?"

Fu Yiming's eyes flickered slightly. He told Xia Lin'an about this for a purpose. He wanted Shu Manlan to meet Xia Lin'an, but he had always kept a secret in his heart.

A five-year secret.

If Xia Linan wants to be with Fu Yiming in the future, then Fu Yiming must confess this hidden secret to her.

He wanted to tell Xia Lin'an in person, but Fu Yiming was not ready to tell it to Xia Lin'an, or to be more precise, he did not have the courage to tell Xia Lin'an about his terrible marriage in the past.

The longer they were together, the more Fu Yiming cared about his relationship with Xia Linan.

Once there is a breach in this relationship, it will be like a breach in a long dike dam. The flood will burst the dam unstoppable, and the emotional foundation that Fu Yiming has worked so hard to build with Xia Linan will collapse.

This is Fu Yiming's biggest concern, and it is also the reason why Fu Yiming felt depressed and scared when he heard that Shu Manlan was going to find Xia Linan to tell her about what happened that year.

So, Fu Yiming rushed home at noon.

Xia Linan didn't know what Fu Yiming was worried about. The words she blurted out made her blush with embarrassment. She said awkwardly, "Isn't it a little unreasonable?"

Fu Yiming looked at Xia Linan deeply, the struggle in his eyes flashed by and finally disappeared, and he said comfortingly: "No, it's just a matter of letting nature take its course."

When Xia Lin'an heard this answer, he closed his eyes with great satisfaction.

She didn't know that the moment she closed her eyes, Fu Yiming's breathing paused for a moment, and then he asked tentatively: "Do you want to see them?"

When Xia Linan heard this question, he opened his eyes suspiciously, looked at Fu Yiming and asked, "How can I just not see him if I don't want to?"

Fu Yiming was choked up for a moment, lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Xia Lin'an's smooth forehead, then changed the subject without leaving any trace, and said, "Well, I'll arrange it."

Xia Linan and Fu Yiming lay in each other's arms on the bed, enjoying the quiet afternoon.

Xia Linan lay in Fu Yiming's arms and slowly fell asleep, unaware of when Xia Yansi and Ma Siluo left downstairs.

Fu Yiming's eyes were dark and unclear, and he looked out the closed window with a deep gaze. However, the warm winter sun outside made Fu Yiming feel heavy in his heart.
