Chapter 47 - Living Together in One Room

When Ye Xuan returned to the apartment, Qin Lan had already changed into a set of silk pajamas, her hair damp and draped over her shoulders, exuding a touch of allure.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan come back, she rushed over and asked, “What about that man?

Did he get away, or…

did you kill him?”

After Ye Xuan had chased after the man, she was alone and terrified, feeling as if there were still someone in the house, until Ye Xuan returned, which finally put her at ease.

Ye Xuan looked down to see the two papayas under her collarbone bouncing wildly, a blinding white patch that made his eyes swim.

He stole a couple of glances, marveling at the woman’s deep and broad bosom!

Ye Xuan touched his nose and recited some baloney with utmost seriousness, “Beauty, I was once the top ‘Triple Good Student’ in my whole elementary school, how could I possibly kill someone?

The guy got scared when he saw me, drove his car off the road and crashed into a ditch, dead.”

“Dr…

drove off the road…

and died?”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s answer, Qin Lan was somewhat speechless.

Her gut told her that Ye Xuan’s response was dismissive; not even a schoolchild would be fooled.

The man in black had even drawn a gun, and the aura he exuded was terrifying; such a person surely would not just crash his car into a ditch, right?

“What, you don’t believe me?”

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, pretending to be displeased, “Beauty, I’ve saved you three times today.

Don’t you trust me?

How about I take you to the crash site right now?

That bastard is still in the ditch.”

“I believe, I believe!”

Looking at Ye Xuan’s nonchalant demeanor, the naive Qin Lan truly believed him.

How could someone who had killed a person remain so calm?

Qin Lan comforted herself with this thought.

However, how could she know that the seemingly harmless, sunny big boy before her was the Great Demon King who terrorized the Dark World?

One step, one kill—bloodshed for miles!

Qin Lan stole a glance at Ye Xuan and caught him looking at her too, which made her heart pound, and she quickly lowered her head with a flush rising to her cheeks.

Previously, she had been drunk, but she didn’t forget everything.

Now, reflecting carefully, how could she not know what had happened?

She’d had an acute appendicitis attack, and Ye Xuan had been massaging her closely.

It felt so comforting that she had subconsciously grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand and placed it on her sacred peak…

“Ah!

I’m so ashamed, how could I do something so disgraceful?

How can I face him now?”

After being so intimately touched and kissed by this man, Qin Lan was mortified to death, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Especially considering that Ye Xuan had helped her go to the bathroom, she had never let a man do such private things for her before.

Qin Lan’s face was red to the base of her neck.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Qin Lan’s flushed face, though silent, Ye Xuan asked with curiosity.

“Ah, ah?

No…

nothing.”

Qin Lan snapped out of it, looked up at Ye Xuan, but her cute face turned even redder, “Thank…

thank you for saving me.”

Ye Xuan’s mouth curled into an amused smile, “Aren’t you the one who said I’m your boyfriend?

Besides, you were the one who kissed me first.

As your boyfriend, of course, I have to protect my girlfriend’s safety!

Don’t you agree, little Lanlan?”

Qin Lan’s cheeks blazed red, too shy to meet Ye Xuan’s gaze, she muttered reluctantly, “Don’t talk nonsense.

I did what was necessary under those circumstances…

I…

I am not your girlfriend.”

She paused, then added, “I have a boyfriend, he’s just not living here at the moment.”

“Hmm?”

Ye Xuan lifted his eyebrows, surprised to find out that this beauty was already spoken for?

Qin Lan bit her red lip, quickly glanced at Ye Xuan, then looked away, “I was wrong today, causing you trouble.

I’m sorry.”

Ye Xuan touched his nose and smiled, “I have a well-known nickname among people, called ‘Friend of Women’!

Under those circumstances, even if you hadn’t sought me out, I would have stood up for you.

You don’t need to say sorry.”

He continued, “That person just now came to kill me, nearly dragging you into it.

Alright, now that everything’s alright, you should rest early.

I’ve already washed your clothes, they’ll be dry by tomorrow morning!”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

After saying that, Ye Xuan turned and walked away.

However, when he reached the door, he paused, then turned back, scratching his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

“Um, Lanlan, could I stay at your place for the night?

Cough cough, it’s so late, I have nowhere else to go…”

Even with Ye Xuan’s thick-skinned nature, his face couldn’t help but turn red as he uttered those words.

Qin Lan was taken aback, not expecting Ye Xuan to make such a request.

She noticed that, at that moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes were calm, carefree, and natural, nothing like the blatant way other men looked at her!

Thinking about being alone in the same room with a man, Qin Lan’s pretty face blushed like agate.

“You…

you can stay in the bedroom on the right, my brother lives at school, and he hardly ever comes home.”

Qin Lan gave Ye Xuan a glance, saying with bitten red lips.

Lanlan has a brother too?

Ye Xuan thought to himself and nodded at Qin Lan, smiling, “Thank you!”

Watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, Qin Lan’s flushed face finally relaxed slightly, her heart feeling relieved.

Yet, right after that, a trace of sadness blossomed within her.

“Does he really have no interest in me, then why did he…

kiss me?”

Remembering the kiss Ye Xuan gave her at the bar, Qin Lan’s pretty face turned red once again.

“Ah!

Qin Lan, what are you thinking about?

Don’t forget you already have a boyfriend.”

She spat softly to herself and likewise turned to enter the bedroom.

That night, Qin Lan slept exceptionally well; she dreamt of her father, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, and even in her dreams, her lips were curled into a smile.

When she woke up the next day, it was already bright outside.

Stepping out of her room, she visited the bedroom next door, only to see the bed neatly made and the person already gone.

“Did he leave?”

Qin Lan muttered to herself, not knowing why, but feeling a hint of sadness in her heart, “It’s a pity, I didn’t get the chance to properly thank you!”

At the same time, Ye Xuan had already arrived downstairs at the Eastern Group building.

He hadn’t taken a taxi but instead ran all the way there.

Back when he was abroad, getting up at five in the morning for exercise was a routine Ye Xuan stuck to rain or shine; now that he was back in the country, he seemed to have become a bit lazier.

“First, I need to buy breakfast for my wife.”

Ye Xuan bought something to eat from a nearby stall, leisurely whistling as he headed towards Lin Tong’s office.

Chairman’s office.

Lin Dongfang sat on a mahogany chair with a gloomy face, looking at Lin Tong opposite him.

If it hadn’t been for Song Shaopeng calling him yesterday, he would have had no idea that his daughter had already registered for marriage with that wild kid!

Not only that, but that brazen young man also gave Song Shaopeng a good thrashing, nearly sending him to the hospital.

If this angered the Song Family, their Lin Family would suffer the consequences too!

He wished he could smack this daughter of his to death.
