"Come on, Luo Luo, have some fruit."
Su Ruien placed a fruit platter in front of Yan Xiluo on the table.
"Thank you, cousin."
I didn't expect the fruit platter to be so well-made.
Lan Jingyan forked a piece of fruit and fed it to Yan Xiluo.
Yan Yuze, who happened to be coming out, saw it...
"Can you please stop killing dogs? It's an eyesore..."
Yan Yuze covered his eyes with one hand, groaning and complaining as the dog food kept coming in handful after handful.
"What? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, go find someone yourself."
Lan Jingyan looked at Yan Yuze, who was groaning and complaining, with disdain and a provocative tone.
"Never mind then, I'd rather eat dog food."
He couldn't be bothered with dating. He thought women were troublesome and hard to please. If he got dumped because he was unhappy, who would he cry to? Besides, he was so busy with work that he really didn't have time to take care of another person.
"It's almost time. Shall I show you around the place and then take you home?"
Since entering the villa, Yan Xiluo has only stayed in the living room and hasn't yet explored the rest of the villa.
"OK."
She also wanted to see what else was special about it.
“There are four bedrooms here, one for each of us. I can’t show you theirs, so let’s take a look at mine.”
Yan Xiluo remained silent, nodded, and followed behind Lan Jingyan.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a minimalist bedroom with simple furniture and amenities. The room is tidy and clean, with a faint woody scent, giving it a slightly cool and serene feel.
"Your room has very few things, it's too simple!"
Although she felt it was expected, she still couldn't help but express her opinion.
"We don't need much, but things will be different now that I have you."
Lan Jingyan's sudden ambiguous tone startled Yan Xiluo, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight into Lan Jingyan's arms.
Lan Jingyan was caught off guard by Yan Xiluo's sudden loss of balance and fell straight backward. Fortunately, there was a bed behind him.
Yan Xiluo landed right on top of Lan Jingyan, her hands resting on his chest.
"Wow, his pecs are so well-developed, he must work out a lot!"
Their eyes met...
Suddenly, Yan Xiluo felt Lan Jingyan's body react to her, and her face instantly turned red.
Lan Jingyan also realized the awkward moment, and her expression became unnatural.
Yan Xiluo wanted to get up and leave quickly, but Lan Jingyan held the back of her head, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed her down beneath him...
The fire within him was burning so intensely that he could barely control himself, and he kissed her breathlessly.
Lan Jingyan's warm breath brushed against Yan Xiluo's face, behind her ears, her neck, her collarbone, and finally landed on her lips...
Yan Xiluo was startled by this series of actions; she was very nervous and unprepared...
A voice kept telling Lan Jingyan.
"No, he can't do that yet. They're not married, and Luo Luo is still young. We can't scare her."
Lan Jingyan then rationally stopped what she was doing, awkwardly got up and went to the window, looking into the distance, and slowly spoke.
"Luo Luo, I'm sorry, I lost control just now, I shouldn't have done that."
He didn't want to touch her before getting married; what if... he didn't dare to think about it.
Yan Xiluo didn't say anything, but got up, straightened her clothes, and smoothed her hair.
"fine……"
After regaining her composure, Yan Xiluo spoke softly.
After a while
Lan Jingyan suppressed the heat within her body and turned to look at Yan Xiluo.
"Come on, I'll show you other places."
He needed to get her out of his room quickly.
"There's a stress-relief room here. When they're feeling down or stressed, they come here and smash things. This is a gym; we all have a habit of working out, and it's the same here. Over there is a bar; Arn is good at mixing drinks and often makes drinks for us. There's also an arcade where people play games when they're feeling down. And then there's the real secret base; everyone writes down their unhappiness and troubles and throws them in the boxes inside. And..."
Lan Jingyan explained the layout of the villa to Yan Xiluo in detail.
All of this brought Yan Xiluo a series of pleasant surprises.
"I didn't expect there to be so many interesting layouts, it has everything! No wonder it's called the Secret Base."
She looked at each item one by one, and thought they were quite good, unlike her, Li Mufei, and An Xinyue, who only went to Youlan. She didn't know that boys could have so many ways to relieve stress.
"This little dark room is really a very dark room!"
Yan Xiluo couldn't help but sigh...
The dark room had no lights, and even the walls were painted black. It was completely empty. Li Shaochuan had locked himself in there a few times when he was in a bad mood.
"Yes, this is Shaochuan's private room. We've never used this room before."
Of the four, Li Shaochuan's way of venting was unique; the others were relatively normal.
Yan Xiluo nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Have you seen enough? Are you a little tired? Shall I take you home first?"
Lan Jingyan noticed that it was almost ten o'clock. Yan Yuze would most likely not return to the Yan family tonight, so he would only feel at ease if he personally escorted Yan Xiluo home.
After all, something like that had happened just this afternoon, so he dared not let his guard down for a second.
"Okay, let's go back first then."
The two walked hand in hand into the hall.
Third Brother, are you going home?
Yan Xiluo remembered that Yan Yuze hadn't gone back yet either.
"I won't go back. It's rare for us brothers to get together today."
Yes, they haven't gotten together for two months!
"Then I'll head back now?"
Yan Xiluo tentatively asked Yan Yuze.
"Then shall I take you home?"
Yan Yuze said he was about to get up.
"No need, I'll take her home. Otherwise, it won't be good if your aunt and uncle find out when you get back, since you're not staying at home."
The only way to achieve the best of both worlds is for him to deliver Yan Xiluo. Most importantly, he can protect her!
"That's true. Thank you for your help, Luo Luo. I'll go back tomorrow."
That makes some sense; if his parents saw him, they definitely wouldn't let him out.
"Third brother, cousins, I'll head home now."
Yan Xiluo looked obediently at her three older brothers.
"good."
"OK."
"Ah Yan, drive slowly."
Li Shaochuan couldn't help but give him some instructions, feeling that he had become quite long-winded.
"Okay, Luo Luo, let's go."
As he spoke, he habitually took her hand and left the villa.
On the bus
"Ayan, I'm flying to France tomorrow. There was supposed to be a fashion design competition at the end of the month, but I received a notification yesterday that it has to be moved up."
Yan Xiluo informed Lan Jingyan of her schedule, fearing he would be angry that she hadn't told him.
"I'll go with you?"
Lan Jingyan was a little worried. What if, given today's unexpected situation, they took advantage of his absence tomorrow and caught Yan Xiluo alone?
"No need, I'm not a child anymore. You have your own work to do."
She really didn't want to interfere with his work, and she believed she could handle the situation and take care of herself.
"Alright..."
Although he verbally agreed, he was actually already recalling what business he had in Country F and planning to "work" or "go on a business trip" there!
Then Luo Luo won't reject him.
