These words instantly slapped Lou Xinyu who just won an award.
What use is winning an award? The key is that Xing Chen just likes Ran Xiangsi.
Ran Xiangsi took advantage of the situation, raised her eyebrows at Xing Chen, as a response.
Seeing Ran Xiangsi’s smug look, the smile in Xing Chen’s eyes grew deeper.
Lou Xining continued sipping his tea, speaking little but constantly observing the interactions between Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi.
As for Lou Zhaonian, this time his face couldn’t maintain composure...
So he simply stood up, walked over and asked Ran Xiangsi, "Xiangsi, where’s the bathroom?"
Don’t say, this simplest question indeed stumped Ran Xiangsi.
It’s only her second time here; how would she know where the bathroom is?
"Uh..." Instinctive hesitation, Ran Xiangsi glanced at Xing Chen for help.
Xing Chen’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, called the butler, "Why aren’t you taking Grandpa Lou to the bathroom?"
"Yes, this way please." The butler quickly led Lou Zhaonian away.
Lou Zhaonian didn’t notice anything, followed the butler directly.
But... Lou Xining keenly sensed something was off.
He put down his teacup, his sharp gaze falling on Ran Xiangsi.
"Sister-in-law, you seem to not know where the bathroom is? Isn’t this your home?"
For someone who doesn’t know where their own home’s bathroom is, it’s indeed a bit suspicious.
Sorely caught by Lou Xining’s question, Ran Xiangsi’s hand trembled while pouring tea.
She knew Lou Xining is a professional, yet she didn’t expect him to be so sensitive??
Ran Xiangsi narrowed her eyes, hesitating on how to deal with the question.
Xing Chen naturally heard Lou Xining’s question, he frowned, leisurely walked to Ran Xiangsi’s side, warm palm covering her slightly cold hand, spoke with mild reproach.
"Grandpa Lou once saved my life, be kinder to him."
Ran Xiangsi, "..." Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
This guy, intentionally saying this...
Ran Xiangsi immediately understood, she rolled her eyes, pretended to be angry while softly complaining, "But I was clearly just making tea, Grandpa Lou mentioned his granddaughter winning an award, isn’t that obviously targeting me?"
"You said earlier, as long as you like me it’s fine."
"Alright then, but I still don’t want to talk to him." Ran Xiangsi pouted, looking extremely pitiful, as if truly aggrieved.
Xing Chen looked at her deeply, then smiled.
However, perhaps even Xing Chen himself hadn’t noticed how much affection was contained in his smile.
Listening to their conversation, Lou Xining suddenly realized.
So, the reason Ran Xiangsi didn’t answer Lou Zhaonian about the bathroom wasn’t because she didn’t know, but because she was angry and didn’t want to say?
Huh, didn’t see that coming, this sister-in-law actually has quite a temper?
Lou Xining glanced suspiciously at Ran Xiangsi, suddenly recalled how she had been quite harsh to him several times, clearly a woman with quite a temper.
How did Xing Chen marry such a temperamental woman?
Full of doubt, Lou Xining didn’t speak again, lowering his head full of questions while drinking his tea.
Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen acted well, seeing Lou Xining no longer suspicious, they exchanged a glance and saw the proud smiles in each other’s eyes.
Look, they are indeed in sync, even fooled Lou Xining, the psychology Ph.D!
