"Zuo Qi, should you go back?" Xiao Yichen's deep black eyes flashed with a stern look, and his face turned dark as he said coldly.
"Brother, don't be like this..." Zuo Qi said with a playful smile.
Zuo Qi saw that none of them responded directly, but based on his understanding of Xiao Yichen, it was equivalent to admitting that the relationship between them was shady, that is, they were purely lovers.
Xiao Yichen glanced at him sideways, as if warning him with cold eyes not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask.
"Steward Zhou, see the guests off!" Xiao Yichen stood up from the sofa and said coldly.
His sculpted and stern face was instantly frozen, and looking at his coldly leaving back made her shudder...
"Madam, Miss Mo!" the servant shouted.
As soon as Xiao Yichen left the sofa area in the living room, he saw his mother and Maureen coming in.
"Aunt...Sister Maureen!" Zuo Qi looked at the door and shouted loudly.
Lin Ranran stood up uneasily, stood upright, and looked at them with a smile.
"Brother Yichen." Maureen stepped forward and took his arm with a sweet smile.
When Maureen was a few years old, Xiao Yichen's mother married into the Xiao family, and the relationship between Xiao and Mo's family was already very good. Xiao's mother truly raised Maureen as a daughter, and she often took Xiao Yichen and Maureen to parties when they were young.
Maureen also likes Xiao Yichen, the eldest brother, and naturally becomes the future son-in-law recognized by the Mo family.
Xiao Yichen doesn't think so. Although he likes Maureen, it's only because of his brother and sister. He hasn't explained it yet due to his mother's reasons.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Yichen still had a cold face.
"Brother Yichen, my father's friend consigned some deep-sea fish and asked us to send you some!" Maureen pulled Xiao Yichen to see the fresh ingredients they brought over.
"Zuo Qi, is this lady your friend?"
Xiao's mother took a look at Lin Ranran and saw them standing together in the living room, with her backpack beside them. They must be the friends Zuo Qi brought here as a guest.
"Yes." Zuo Qi and Lin Ranran looked at each other, and sensibly helped his cousin Xiao Yichen to cover up.
Lin Ranran stood aside and did not dare to say a word. She only felt that there were ants crawling on her chest, and she felt some indescribable soreness. Maybe it was because of her embarrassing status.
Xiao Yichen would not admit their relationship in front of his mother. He admitted that she was his woman in front of the Lu family, just to assert his sovereignty over Lu Yanzhou and suppress him because of his face.
"Steward Zhou, kill these few and let's have dinner here." Xiao's mother ordered.
"Okay, ma'am." The servant moved two boxes of fish into the kitchen.
"Zuo Qi, I'll have dinner with your friend here later." Xiao's mother looked at them with an aunty smile.
"Okay! Auntie, I will definitely eat two more bowls of such good fish." Zuo Qi deliberately leaned into Lin Ranran and responded.
Lin Ranran's eyes looked in the direction of Xiao Yichen and Mo Lin from time to time.
Maureen is prettier than in the TV photos. She looks gentle and soft, and her voice is delicate and soft. She has the temperament of a socialite. At first glance, she looks like a little princess who has grown up in the palm of her hand.
At that moment, she also understood how Xiao Yichen could bear to torture his sweet childhood sweetheart Maureen, because she was just a lover and did not need to pay any feelings or responsibilities and could torture her arbitrarily.
How could a person of her status be compared with a big star from a famous family.
"Xiao Qi, what's your friend's name?" Xiao's mother came over and sat on the sofa.
Lin Ranran glanced back and glanced at the woman in front of her. She had exquisite makeup, elegant behavior, and elegant clothing taste.
"Auntie, her name is Lin Ranran." Zuo Qi sat down next to Lin Ranran.
Xiao's mother looked at her with her eyes downcast, and after thinking for a while, she asked her: "Miss Lin, have we met before? You look familiar..."
Xiao's mother was a little confused. She felt that she had seen this girl before, but she couldn't remember it.
"Auntie, she has a popular face, and there are many people like her." Zuo Qi was worried that she had really seen Lin Ranran somewhere, so he also helped her smooth things over.
Xiao Yichen was with Mo Lin aside, but his eyes never left the living room. His dark eyes were fixed on Lin Ranran.
Maureen pulled Xiao Yichen to the living room, and they sat down on the sofa together.
Lin Ranran was panicked and at a loss, but she still didn't show any joy on her face. She just listened to their chat quietly.
During dinner, Zuo Qi kept bringing her food, making them all think that she was Zuo Qi's friend, for fear that Xiao's mother and Maureen would know about her relationship with Xiao Yichen.
Lin Ranran wanted to escape from the atmosphere of multiple relationships. She was afraid that she would accidentally reveal her flaws and let them see the flaws, which would damage their relationship.
After dinner, he secretly pulled Zuo Qi aside and begged her to get out of here.
Zuo Qi understood that her identity was embarrassing and she was his good brother's sister, so he would definitely help her.
After a while, Zuo Qi took Lin Ranran out of Yujing Villa because there was something going on at the clinic.
In the car, Zuo Qi couldn't help but asked with concern: "Ran Ran, when did you start?"
"Just starting." Lin Ranran looked out the window with scarlet eyes and responded to him lightly.
"Leave him. If your brother knows that you are with such a person, he will definitely go crazy. You also know how much your brother cares about you."
Zuo Qi knew that Xiao Yichen was just trying to be fresh, because he also had Maureen, and Xiao's mother would not agree to her being with Xiao Yichen.
"Brother Zuo Qi, I am sensible."
She also wants to leave him, but she won't be able to repay what she owes him for a while, unless he proposes to end the contract.
She could only ask Zuo Qi to keep it a secret for him, especially from her brother.
Zuo Qi sent her downstairs to the rented apartment.
Shortly after arriving home, Xiao Yichen called her.
Maybe it was because Mother Xiao and Miss Mo had left his home.
"Where?"
Xiao Yichen's voice was cold, but you could hear that he was eager to know.
"In the apartment I rented." Lin Ranran tried not to let him hear her low voice.
"return."
"It's too late, I'll go back tomorrow." Lin Ranran made a casual excuse.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen didn't speak for a long time, she hung up the phone.
Lin Ranran doesn't like this kind of relationship, and doesn't want to be called a mistress like her mother, let alone ruin their relationship.
If she had known about the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Maureen from the beginning, she would definitely not have intervened. Even if her father's company went bankrupt and liquidated and there was no money for surgery, she would not have gone to Xiao Yichen.
She came out of the shower and saw the message he sent.
"What's the room number?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll look for them one by one."
Zuo Qi told him the location of the apartment, and he came out to look for her after hanging up the phone.
“1205”
Lin Ranran didn't know why she wanted him to come up, and she didn't resist him as much as before.
Maybe it was because living with him for a week made her somewhat accustomed to his smell.
