Lin Ziye quickly explained, completely ignoring her parents.
In family relationships, he can be justified and assertive, and the most important thing is Yan Xiluo.
Even though they are not related by blood, she is the sister he has loved for almost 19 years.
Yan Xiluo holds a more important place in his heart than his parents, and Lin Chenxuan is indeed his biological daughter.
After all, they had just been brought home and hadn't spent much time together. It couldn't compare to the 19 years they had spent together day and night, experiencing so much and having so many memories.
Of course, he had a clear conscience towards Lin Chenxuan, and Lin Chenxuan never mistreated him after she returned; she treated her very well.
Ultimately, there's no comparison.
She didn't want to compete, okay... Heavens... Yan Xiluo sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Xi Xi? Who is Xi Xi?"
Lin Zhengzhong looked puzzled upon hearing this unfamiliar title.
"Could it be your girlfriend? There are rumors everywhere that you're dating someone!"
Yang Mei turned her eyes and suddenly remembered this important matter.
"She's my girlfriend, we've only been together for a short time."
Lin Ziye spoke somewhat shyly, her face filled with embarrassment.
This is like an iron tree blooming...
He never imagined that one day he would meet someone who would capture his heart, and that this person would be introduced to him by his own sister, who acted as matchmaker.
"Why didn't you tell us? You didn't even invite anyone to your home for a meal."
Yang Mei was very curious about this girl named 'Xi Xi'.
"She's a bit shy, and we've only just started dating, so there's no rush. I'm afraid of scaring her away, and then I'll have to wait until Singles' Day again."
Lin Ziye cherished this relationship. If Ji Jingxi hadn't appeared, he would have really thought that Ji Jingxi was indifferent by nature.
"No way! You guys should just celebrate Qixi Festival and Valentine's Day!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Mei abandoned the idea of calling someone back for dinner.
Lin Ziye is so clueless; if she gets dumped, she'll definitely end up alone. She hopes to hold her grandchildren before she dies!
"Hahaha, look how worried your mother is."
Lin Zhengzhong said cheerfully, “To be honest, it’s not just Yang Mei who’s anxious; he just didn’t show it.”
"Okay, okay, I need to go to my room with my darling daughter to have a private talk, please don't disturb us!"
Yang Mei immediately took Yan Xiluo's hand and prepared to leave.
"Mom, you can't be so domineering!"
Lin Ziye complained, saying that it wasn't just her who missed Yan Xiluo; he and Lin Zhengzhong hadn't seen Yan Xiluo for a long time either.
"Son, even if we both stand together, we can't beat your mom. Let's go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else."
Lin Zhengzhong quickly advised him, and being quite sensible, he waved his hand helplessly and sat down.
Lin Ziye was disappointed. He had even left work early to rush back, only to find that he hadn't gotten a share.
The other end
As soon as Lan Jingyan returned to the company in the afternoon, he convened a meeting. He had been away from the company for too long, so it was necessary to have a long meeting.
While he's away from the company, let's see if anyone has been disobedient or unruly.
He was very busy in the morning and could only give Yan Xiluo a brief reply.
If he weren't so busy, he would have shamelessly followed Yan Xiluo home! Now that there's a meeting, he really feels like he's being enslaved.
He still enjoys the days when he doesn't have to work for the company...
Lan Jingchen: Thank you so much, I'm so sorry for being so forward!
After a meeting that lasted several hours, Lan Jingyan came out irritable, feeling as if they were deliberately trying to provoke him.
Xie Xun remained silent. No, he dared not utter a sound. Lan Jingyan was furious; anything he said would be wrong.
What should he do? He was afraid that Lan Jingyan would anger herself to death.
"Madam, the president is still angry after the meeting. I'm afraid he'll anger himself to death."
Xie Xun risked his life to pass on intelligence to Yan Xiluo, hoping that Yan Xiluo could appease him with just a few words.
He is in a very dangerous situation right now; sometimes he feels like he is doing a high-risk job... extremely dangerous.
Yan Xiluo frowned slightly upon seeing the message. "She's angered herself to death? That sounds rather novel."
She had never met Lan Jingyan with such a bad temper before. Looking back now, it made sense; his only act of gentleness was reserved for her.
"Mom, I'm going to call Ayan. I'll be back in a bit."
Yan Xiluo was still somewhat worried.
Yang Mei nodded, her face beaming with happiness. She was naturally pleased that the two had such a good relationship.
Yan Xiluo only wanted to make a phone call, thinking that if he could see her, his mood would improve quickly.
She instinctively tidied her hair and then made a video call to him.
Lan Jingyan was in a bad mood. She held her forehead and closed her eyes to calm herself down. As soon as she heard the sound of the video call coming in, she immediately sat up straight and adjusted her mood.
This was the special ringtone he had set for Yan Xiluo. He forced a smile to hide his emotions as he answered the phone.
"Baby, how come you have time to video chat with me? Aren't you spending time with Mom and Dad?"
All my temper vanished the moment I saw my beloved, and a genuine smile appeared on my face.
"I'm here to check up on things."
She definitely wouldn't say that Xie Xun told her, what if Lan Jingyan scolded him?
Yan Xiluo's smile was enigmatic, as if she were genuinely searching for something.
"You don't trust me that much? I've always been chaste before you came into my life, and I'm even less likely to do anything after you came into my life."
Lan Jingyan smiled, it was a rare opportunity for Yan Xiluo to check up on him, and he was quite happy. It proved that Yan Xiluo cared about him, that he was important to her.
"Really? Then let me see if there's anyone else in your office."
Yan Xiluo pretended not to believe him and said this on purpose to divert his attention and make him forget what he was angry about.
Lan Jingyan's smile deepened. She stood up, shifted the camera's direction, and scanned the office. Worried that she might still be uneasy, she then scanned under the desk as well.
"Hmm, seems to be very devoted to her husband. Not bad, I'm satisfied."
Yan Xiluo almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she had to keep up the act.
There was nothing about Lan Jingyan that she couldn't trust. She knew that Lan Jingyan would be in a great mood to see how much she cared about him.
"Baby, what kind of person do you think I am now?"
Lan Jingyan looked aggrieved; what did he really mean to her...?
He seemed to have truly forgotten all his bad moods, and now his focus was entirely on Yan Xiluo.
"A good person, yes, a good person."
Yan Xiluo gave a perfunctory answer, her eyes full of smiles as she looked tenderly at Lan Jingyan.
Seeing that he wasn't angry anymore, she felt much relieved and knew she had to go home early after dinner.
"Well... Mom's still waiting for me in the room, we'll hang up now, remember to miss me!"
After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she blew him a kiss and then made a heart shape with her hands.
This time, Lan Jingyan was genuinely grinning from ear to ear, unable to hide her smile as she put her hand in front of her mouth.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home tonight. Don't stay out too late, and drive carefully."
Lan Jingyan knew that Yan Xiluo would inevitably talk a little late, so he still wanted to remind her.
Yesterday they were still saying they would get up early tomorrow.
Yan Xiluo nodded. Usually, Yan Xiluo was the one to hang up first; it could be said that Lan Jingyan had never taken the initiative to hang up.
