Feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to take off her clothes immediately, but thankfully she retained her last bit of dignity. Even though they had been so intimate so many times, she absolutely couldn't just take her clothes off randomly in the living room.
If things get out of control, the living room will be a complete mess, and you'll definitely have a headache when you wake up the next day.
"Okay, let's take a bath together. I'll go run the water right away."
"Thank you for removing your makeup, baby. I'll go make some nice bubble solution right away."
Lan Jingyan is very good at coaxing people, just like coaxing a child; she is very patient.
Yan Xiluo, who was still half asleep, was amused by the sound of "Little Yanzi" and immediately got up to go back to her bedroom.
She doesn't like wearing makeup, nor does she like having cosmetics on her face for even a little while.
Tonight, Lan Jingyan didn't torment her for too long; the two fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good night's sleep.

next day
Because of Yan Xiluo's family reunion and engagement banquet, Yi Luhua specially flew back to China for her.
Jiangzhu Road Villa
This was Yan Xiluo's first time visiting Yi Luhua's villa, a house left by Yi Luhua's parents.
The two sisters usually stay when they come back, unless they don't come back together, in which case they stay in other places.
Yi Luhua wanted to spend more time with Yan Xiluo yesterday, but there were too many people around.
It wasn't her turn at all; she was flying back to the US tonight and wanted to spend as much time as possible with Yan Xiluo before leaving.
Yan Xiluo then agreed to come to her villa to find her.
"Godmother."
Yan Xiluo pressed the doorbell, and Yi Luhua came out to open the door for her immediately.
Because I am away from the country for a long time, I have not hired a domestic helper.
I only hire a housekeeper to clean the house when I go back to China.
"Luo Luo is here, so fast."
Yi Luhua was just packing her things and hadn't finished when she heard the doorbell ring.
She made an appointment with Yan Xiluo and Li Shuwen today.
So I quickly went downstairs to open the door.
"Okay, nothing much happened at the company, so I came over first."
Yan Xiluo followed Yi Luhua through the gate.
The flowerbeds in front of the villa were well maintained, and the villa did indeed look quite old.
"Why didn't your mother come with you? Is she going to stand me up?"
Yi Luhua was a little worried, as she was flying to the US again that night...
We've gone from childhood best friends to old friends, and it's still hard to say goodbye.
I want to cherish every moment we spend together.
“I didn’t stay with my mother last night. I’m staying closer to you than the Yan family does.”
Yan Xiluo carefully examined the layout of the villa, which seemed to have remained unchanged for many years.
There are also some old collectibles.
"So that's how it is. Every time I parted from your mother, it felt like a life-or-death separation."
"I'm so reluctant to leave."
Yi Luhua sighed, her face full of reluctance.
"Doesn't your godmother plan to come back and develop her career here?"
Yan Xiluo asked the question without much thought.
"I don't have that plan for at least the next five years. Coming back to develop my career isn't that easy."
Let's see in two years.
The development trends at home and abroad are completely different, so it's not something you can just come back to immediately.
Moreover, she hasn't fully explored the domestic market yet, and she'll need to expand into other businesses after returning to China.
"Luo Luo, please sit down first. I'll go cut some fruit."
"Or if you're bored, you can browse around anytime."
Yi Luhua spoke gently, thinking that Yan Xiluo wouldn't come so early, as she hadn't even prepared the fruit platter and drinks yet.
Fortunately, she had prepared some pastries in advance, so her goddaughter could taste her cooking.
"Uh-huh."
Yan Xiluo did not sit down, but instead admired the layout and design of the Yi family home.
Because it was the house left by Yi Luhua's parents, the furnishings were rather old.
Even the furniture is made of wood, giving it a scholarly feel.
There was also a wine cabinet next to her, filled with fine red wines, which showed that her godmother had a good taste in wine.
Walk to the side, and you'll find another display case.
The cabinets are also made of wood, and all have glass doors.
Inside were cigars, and that brand of cigars at that...
Yan Xiluo's heart skipped a beat, then twisted in her chest.
With such a large quantity, it's clearly not meant for collection, but for drawing lots.
Moreover, this brand of cigars is very expensive; given Yi Luhua's wealth, she could smoke them every day without any problem.
The closer she got to the truth, the faster her heart beat.
"Ayan, I found this at the Yi family's place. Can you check if there are any purchase records related to my godmother?"
In a moment of desperation, before Yi Luhua came out of the kitchen, Yan Xiluo quickly took a picture of the display case filled with this brand of cigars.
Send the photo to Lan Jingyan.
After sending the message, quickly put your phone away and pretend nothing happened to continue watching.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence; while there aren't many people who enjoy this brand of cigars, even fewer can afford it, but that doesn't mean there aren't others.
Yan Xiluo certainly didn't want things to turn out the way she suspected, as Li Shuwen wouldn't be able to handle it.
There is no conclusive evidence and nothing can be proven; it can be considered a coincidence.
Yan Xiluo composed herself to avoid arousing Yi Luhua's suspicion.
Immediately afterward, the doorbell rang, and Yan Xiluo went to open the door. It was Li Shuwen who came in.
"It was my precious daughter who opened the door, she even arrived before her mother?"
Li Shuwen looked at her daughter with a smile. Yi Luhua didn't come to open the door; she must have been busy with something else.
Before, she was always the most eager to open the door.
“I live close to my godmother, but I only arrived a few minutes earlier than my mother.”
Seeing her mother's smiling face and her happy expression, she wondered if she was overthinking things.
Only a close friendship could make Li Shuwen so happy, and from the first moment she saw Yi Luhua, Yi Luhua's eyes were full of affection for her, which seemed to be genuine.
That look in his eyes didn't seem fake.
Where did your godmother go?
Li Shuwen didn't see Yi Luhua when she entered the room, and she looked around but couldn't find her anywhere.
"My godmother went to cut the fruit, leaving me to enjoy it all by myself."
"By the way, Mom, does Godmother like cigars? I saw there are a lot in that cabinet over there."
Li Shuwen is Yi Luhua's best friend, so she should know about this little hobby, right?
I wanted to get some information out of Li Shuwen.
"Your godmother doesn't touch that stuff, maybe it was left behind by Uncle Yi?"
She remembers exactly what her best friend likes and dislikes, and can recall it immediately.
She clearly remembered that Yi Luhua's father loved to smoke cigars, which were probably left by Yi Luhua's father.
Even after so much time has passed, Yi Luhua still can't let go, so she must still be feeling very sad.
Li Shuwen knew nothing about cigars, let alone cigar brands.
She doesn't like it, and no one in her family smokes it.
Yan Xiluo frowned, feeling much more relaxed, but that didn't mean anything.
If she were truly two-faced, how could she have let Lai Suk-man understand her?
Moreover, this cigar is the latest model; how could it possibly have been left by Yi Luhua's father?
"Oh, I see. I thought Godmother liked it. If she does, I'll remember to bring her some next time I come."
