Bai Yiran rolled her eyes, "Auntie... as far as I know, direct relatives are supposed to include parents, spouse, children... seems like there’s no aunt in that list!"
Xu Juan was so angry at Bai Yiran that she couldn’t speak, glaring at her as if she wanted to eat her alive. After a while, she reluctantly stood up and said to Wang LuLu, "Lu Lu, let’s go!"
Wang LuLu was unwilling, pulling on Xu Juan’s arm, "Godmother, I don’t want to leave... I..."
Xu Juan shook off Wang LuLu’s arm, "If you don’t want to leave, you can stay here alone!" After saying that, Xu Juan walked straight out.
Wang LuLu gave Bai Yiran a vicious glare, then unwillingly followed out.
As soon as the two left, Leng Yichen let out a low laugh, brushing Bai Yiran’s nose.
Bai Yiran touched her nose, "How did I do?"
Leng Yichen said softly, "Not bad!"
As Xu Juan walked out of Leng Yichen’s house, she still looked back unwillingly.
"Godmother~ Are we just going to give up like this? I’ve already bragged, now those women will laugh at me! I won’t accept this!" Wang LuLu cried, holding Xu Juan’s arm.
Xu Juan’s eyes darkened as she looked at Leng Yichen’s house, "I won’t accept this either! Lu Lu, don’t worry, I have a way to make that woman not take a single penny and divorce my nephew!"
"Really! What method, godmother?"
Xu Juan didn’t say anything, but a malicious coldness appeared on her face.
After driving away Xu Juan, Leng Yichen was making a work call while Bai Yiran wandered around the house alone, never having imagined she would live in a house like this in her lifetime. Although she lived with Bai Hongguang when she was young, at that time Bai Hongguang’s business was just starting, and they only lived in an ordinary three-bedroom apartment. In recent years, Bai Hongguang’s business had grown, but they only lived in a slightly nicer small villa. However, Bai Yiran had never lived there.
After Leng Yichen finished his call, he walked over to Bai Yiran, "Later we should visit your family. After all, marriage is a big deal, and your family should know about it."
The sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Leng Yichen, soft and warm, giving Bai Yiran a sense of peace.
"Well, even though we’re married, you know the situation with my family. If I suddenly bring you back, my grandma won’t be able to handle it... So can we not announce our marriage for now?"
Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran, as if deep in thought, before saying calmly, "Okay, but how are you moving here?"
"I can tell my grandma that I’m staying at a classmate’s place for a while, she’ll agree to that."
"Alright, I’ll arrange for a driver to take you home, and later I’ll go to the company. If you need anything when you get back, just find Sister Liu."
"Okay."
Bai Yiran had the driver park the car outside her grandma’s neighborhood. If her grandma or uncle saw the car, it would be hard to explain.
At home, she told her grandma that a classmate’s parents went abroad for work, and her classmate was scared being alone, so she was going to stay over for a while. Her grandma believed her completely and agreed to her request to stay out, even thoughtfully preparing lots of homemade pickled vegetables, reminding her to eat well.
Bai Yiran felt a bit bad inside, as she was still lying to her grandma, who had always trusted her. But she had no choice; after doing something so reckless, she didn’t know how to tell her grandma, and could only take it one step at a time.
Returning to Leng Yichen’s house, the driver helped carry Bai Yiran’s luggage inside, "Ma’am, where should I put the luggage?"
