Long Beiqing walked over and looked at the two of them. His expression became a little colder as he ordered his subordinate, who was standing behind him, “The second young master is drunk. Help him back to his room!”
His subordinate immediately nodded and strode toward Long Xixing as well as Lan Qingcheng. He grabbed Long Xixing’s arm and headed to the mansion.
“I’m not drunk. Big brother, leave me alone.” Long Xixing was staggering a little.
“How are you not drunk? You’re starting to spout nonsense already. Go back to your room and rest.” After Long Beiqing said that, he glanced nonchalantly at Lan Qingcheng and followed Long Xixing.
Lan Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when both of them left. She headed back to the main hall too. When Xiao Mingyan saw her, she grabbed the young woman’s hand and started cursing Long Aotian.
“Qingcheng, did you not see anyone at all when you went to look for that woman earlier? You didn’t see anyone suspicious?” Xiao Mingyan asked.
“Aunty, I only saw a silhouette. The person was moving too fast, and I couldn’t even see what she was wearing clearly,” Lan Qingcheng said with a guilty expression.
“It’s not your fault… I wonder where that little sl*t came from. If I manage to get my hands on her, I’ll never let her off the hook!” Xiao Mingyan was so furious that she almost vomited blood.
…..
In the Su family’s apartment.
Su Mochen said that he would only be leaving after the reunion dinner. A few hours before dinner, Su Qianxun and Aunt Zhang began to make dumplings, and they had plenty of fun doing so.
Su Mochen sat in the living room together with Su Jiye as they ate some fruits while Su Mochen, Su Qianxun, and Aunt Zhang reminisced about the past. They talked and laughed a lot.
Su Qianxun’s cell phone started ringing. She cast the dumpling she was wrapping aside and headed to the washroom to wash her hands. Only then did she grab her phone and rush to the balcony to answer the call.
She greeted the caller a few times after she answered it, but the person on the other end of the line said nothing. She could hear the person breathing, though. Su Qianxun furrowed her eyebrows a little and suddenly realized who the caller was.
“Is this Lin’er?” When Su Qianxun thought of Lin’er, she could not help but recall the way Long Sijue hung out together with Lin’er and Long Xiluo. She suddenly felt a pang in her heart, but she tried hard to ignore the feeling.
Long Lin nodded excitedly when Su Qianxun uttered his name. He did not expect her to realize that he was the one calling.
“Haha, I know that it’s you. Happy Chinese New Year!” Su Qianxun tried her best to sound happy.
‘Big sister, Happy Chinese New Year,’ Long Lin said internally.
“Lin’er, Lin’er, where are you?” After Long Xiluo went to check out what was going on with Long Aotian and Xiao Mingyan, she returned to her son’s room to look for him. However, he was nowhere to be seen. She knitted her brows a little.
Lin’er immediately went further behind the curtain when he heard his mother calling out for him. He did not want his mother to find him because he wanted to continue talking to his beautiful big sister.
“What happened? Where did Lin’er go?” Long Sijue entered the room too and looked around. Finally, his gaze fell upon the curtains.
“I don’t know. I’ll go and look for him,” Long Xiluo said and left the room.
When Long Sijue saw that Long Xiluo was leaving the room without the slightest hesitation, he furrowed his eyebrows a little. She knew nothing about Lin’er right now. Moreover, her personality was not soft enough. He was afraid that it would be very hard for her to enjoy a good relationship with Long Lin again.
Su Qianxun could hear the conversation between Long Xiluo and Long sijue. She could not help but tighten her grip on her cell phone. She bit her lower lip without realizing it, and there was a sense of suffocation in her chest.
Lin’er breathed a sigh of relief when his mother left. He continued listening to what Su Qianxun was saying as he squatted behind the curtain…
After a while, he realized that Su Qianxun was not saying anything. He knocked on the cell phone gently.
Su Qianxun immediately regained her senses. She ignored the discomfort in her heart and began to speak…
