"Where should we eat? Chinese food, Western food, or a roadside stall?"
Yan Xiluo was actually missing the roadside food stalls; they were truly delicious, a different kind of deliciousness from other foods.
"I'll take you to a secret base."
Lan Jingyan plans to bring her to the secret base of the four brothers.
"Secret base?"
Yan Xiluo was surprised. This man had a secret base?! This really surprised her. She never expected it.
"Yes, you'll see when you get there."
Lan Jingyan drove ahead, a smile playing on his lips. He didn't know what he was so happy about.
"They've even learned to keep us in suspense. I'd like to see just how big the surprise is."
She's already starting to look forward to it.
The car then arrived at a large villa in the suburbs. The area around the villa was very open, with no other villas or houses nearby.
The villa features a landscaped garden in front and European-style architecture. Outside the villa is a huge swimming pool and a lounge area; it seems like parties are frequently held here.
Lan Jingyan parked the car and opened the car door for Yan Xiluo.
"Luo Luo, we're here, come down."
This is the secret base he was talking about? His private villa?
"Your home?"
Yan Xiluo was surprised. "Come to my house for dinner?"
"You could say that, but not entirely."
At this moment, Lan Jingyan was unaware that the three had already returned to the villa.
Yan Xiluo obediently followed behind Lan Jingyan. Lan Jingyan opened the door and gave Yan Xiluo his unopened new slippers. After all, no woman had ever been to this villa before.
"Come on, Luo Luo, put your shoes on."
Lan Jingyan carefully took apart her shoes, arranged them neatly, and placed them at her feet.
"Okay. Thanks..."
I remember he said I shouldn't say thank you to him, so I swallowed the words back.
At that moment, due to the angle, the two did not notice that three pairs of burning eyes were watching them from the living room.
Lan Jingyan carefully put away Yan Xiluo's shoes.
Then he took Yan Xiluo's hand and headed towards the living room.
"Oh my! You've already lured my sister to our secret base so quickly?"
Yan Yuze's tone was sour, and his face was full of jealousy.
Yan Xiluo was startled by the sudden sound.
"Can you let go of Luo Luo's hand? We're already home, why are you still holding her hand?!"
Li Shaochuan was also jealous, and he looked at Lan Jingyan holding Yan Xiluo's hand with a dark face. He felt very unhappy at this moment!
"My fiancée hasn't said anything yet, so why are you two objecting first? Please know your place."
Lan Jingyan didn't hold back and retorted without any mercy. He didn't care; he would just hold their hands and make them furious.
"Alright, A-Yan is right. Luo Luo is his fiancée now, and we have no right to interfere. But if you bully Luo Luo, then we brothers will not stand for it."
Su Ruien is quite open-minded. She wants to spoil her younger sister, but she needs to have boundaries and not be too controlling.
Lan Jingyan looked at the three of them with a face full of doubt, as if to say, "You really don't trust me that much?"
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Yes, she was very confused! Extremely confused! Wasn't it supposed to be a secret base? With so many people here… what kind of secret is it…?
It felt like meeting the parents. Thankfully, they were all his older brothers. Lan Jingyan should be the one who was nervous.
"This is the secret base you were talking about?"
Yan Xiluo turned her head again and looked at Lan Jingyan in disbelief.
"Well, to be precise, it's our secret base for the four of us."
Lan Jingyan didn't explain it clearly at first.
"Ah...this..."
Yan Xiluo had a bad feeling. Had she come to their secret base that belonged to the four of them? Was that impolite? She had thought it was just Lan Jingyan's secret base by himself.
“We brothers have an agreement that we can’t bring other people to our secret base.”
Yan Yuze paused deliberately, but seeing Yan Xiluo's offended expression, he quickly finished speaking.
"However, once you've found your life partner, you absolutely must bring them to meet me. And it has to be for life, not the kind where you date today and break up tomorrow!"
As she spoke, she didn't forget to give Lan Jingyan a wink.
"Did I explain it well enough?!"
Lan Jingyan looked at the smug person with indifferent eyes.
"Barely acceptable, but still passable."
"Hey, can you just finish what you're saying? You've scared Luo Luo!"
Li Shaochuan's face darkened again.
"Hehe, I wasn't scared, brothers, don't be nervous."
With Yan Yuze's words, Yan Xiluo became even more certain of their feelings for each other, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Why did you suddenly bring Luo Luo here?"
Su Ruien was quite curious as to why this day was chosen, especially since Yan Xiluo had only recently returned and the two had been together for less than a month. How could they have already decided to spend their lives together? Her main concern was that Lan Jingyan might betray her sister!
“Bring her to dinner.”
That's the truth.
"So that means we're fortunate enough to eat a meal prepared by our young master Lan today?"
Yan Yuze was the first to stand up excitedly.
"Ahem, yes."
Lan Jingyan felt a little uncomfortable after being exposed.
"You can cook?"
He can cook? She couldn't picture it—a cold, aloof CEO wearing an apron? Hahaha.
"Yes, I know a little, but not much."
Yes, it's true. When I was younger and had conflicts with my family, I came here and cooked for myself.
"Come in and help me out."
Lan Jingyan looked at the three people on the sofa.
"Okay, okay, there's food to eat. Helping out is no problem!"
While Yan Yuze was still rambling, Li Shaochuan had already headed towards the kitchen. Su Ruien followed him in.
"Hey, you two didn't even say you'd wait for me."
Yan Yuze scrambled up from the sofa in a disheveled state, like a wronged woman, and chased after him.
"Luo Luo, then you can sit here and rest, and wait for your meal. There are drinks in the refrigerator, and the cabinet in front is full of snacks. Help yourself to whatever you want."
Lan Jingyan supported Yan Xiluo's shoulders, helped him sit down, and patted her head.
"Okay, then I'll sit here and slack off for a bit!"
She actually wanted to help, but her three older brothers were all in jail, so it seemed like she wasn't needed anymore.
