Nanxi took a deep breath, and her already cold heart shrunk again. She hated Lu Yinchu in her heart — why did he choose such a scary place to live?
She didn’t like it, she really didn’t!
Nanxi reached out for the remote control. She thought that perhaps it was too quiet in the villa, so she got scared. It would be better to turn on the TV and listen to some sound!
She pressed the power button, and the TV turned on. The screen showed the movie channel, and a ghost movie-like show was playing. Nanxi saw a woman in a red dress with disheveled hair walking on the street. Her heart immediately jumped into her throat!
And at that moment, another "meow" sound echoed, and Nanxi screamed...
A beautiful male voice mixed with anxious panting was heard, followed by a handsome and elegant figure rushing in...
Nanxi was stunned. Seeing the man at the door, she jumped off the sofa without caring, and rushed to his arms and started crying...
Today, she had been frightened many times, crying too many times. She was not a crybaby, but in front of Lu Yinchu, she seemed to tear up very easily...
She didn’t know why, the tears just fell...
She reached out to grab his shirt, leaned her head against his chest, and cried wantonly. After a moment of stiffness, Lu Yinchu raised his hand to hold her shoulder, with a sigh of resignation and helplessness, "I didn’t know you were such a scaredy-cat. It seems we need to move house!"
Move house? We? Nanxi was stunned. She realized something and hurriedly broke free from him, trying to say something, but her face turned red, and she couldn’t speak!
Embarrassed? Of course!
The man called out, Nanxi was stunned. Shiyi? That cat?
She turned around, sure enough, a gray cat lazily walked in from the door, and pleasingly meowed at his owner...
Was the cat really there just now?
Lu Yinchu went over, picked up the gray cat, walked to a cage by the door, and abruptly locked it inside!
Shiyi expressed its dissatisfaction by meowing again—
Meaning: Master, I didn’t do anything. Why are you imprisoning me? I didn’t mean to scare your sweetheart, 555>_
Lu Yinchu turned and looked at Nanxi, Nanxi was somewhat embarrassed, she took a deep breath and said, "Actually...it’s not Shiyi’s fault...you...you let it out!"
"Don’t mind it. I originally left it with a friend nearby. I just brought it back when I passed by. I didn’t expect it to scare you!"
Nanxi blinked and didn’t speak, she felt ... extremely embarrassed!
Lu Yinchu looked at the dining table in the distance, which was already tidy. The table was now clean. He squinted his eyes and asked, "How much did you eat?"
Nanxi reached out and touched her face... it was a bit itchy, but she dared not scratch!
The man stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She resisted, but was unable to break free. He then pushed her onto the sofa!
He glanced at the TV and conveniently picked up the remote control. He was originally going to turn it off but decided to change the channel to the science and education channel... perfect, this was suitable!
And so, he placed the remote on the tea table!
"I just bought some cooling ointment... it stops itching..." The man sat down and said.
Nanxi looked at the ointment in his hand, and sighed in relief. Turns out he went to buy medicine earlier!
But when she went to take the ointment, he intentionally avoided her hand. She was puzzled and looked at him, "???"
"Do you think you can apply it yourself?"
Nanxi blushed and responded, "Of...Of course!"
Didn’t she have to apply it herself? Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of her by helping her apply the medicine? This nasty man, did he go to buy the ointment just to take advantage of her?
"How are you going to apply it to your back?"
"...That’s none of your business! I’ll figure it out myself! In any case, I don’t need your help!"
"Me, helping?" Lu Yinchu was taken aback, a breathtaking smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. He ruffled Nanxi’s head, "Silly girl!"
Silly? Was he referring to... her?!
Nanxi was enraged, "Lu Yinchu, you..."
Just as she was about to refute, at the doorway, a tall, stunningly beautiful woman who exuded queenly grace appeared in view!
The sound of high heels hitting the floor echoed, startling Nanxi!
"What’s going on? Arguing?"
The woman opened her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyebrows flashed as her gaze flitted between Nanxi and Lu Yinchu, and finally rested on Lu Yinchu, asking him!
Lu Yinchu smiled, "No, she’s just throwing a bit of a tantrum, she’ll be okay in a while!"
Having said that, he passed the ointment to her and then said, "I’m counting on you!"
"You’re welcome!" The woman smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Of course, if you really feel bad, you can give me a raise!"
"I’ll treat you to a meal next time!"
Lu Yinchu said warmly, then turned to look at Nanxi, who sat there motionless, and asked her, "Bedroom, or here?"
Lu Yinchu: "Oh right, let me introduce you, this is Guan La, my friend! Guan La, this is Nanxi!"
Nanxi looked at the woman, quickly stood up, and courteously bowed, "Hello! Miss Guan!"
Guan La laughed, "Don’t be so formal, just call me Sister La! Besides, I’m both a friend of Yinchu and his subordinate, our relationship can’t be shallow... Oh right, the call that I answered when I came over to deliver documents to Yinchu, was that you who called? You look as sweet as your voice!"
Nanxi was stunned. A call? That night? She thought about it and recalled that she did call Lu Yinchu on the night of her uncle’s burglary, and a woman picked up...
Was that woman... Guan La?
God! She had a moment of stupidity and thought it was Han Qing. How silly!
Nanxi gave a dry cough and nodded.
Guan La smiled, "Such a sweet and obedient girl!" Then she turned to look at Lu Yinchu, "You hit the jackpot, huh!"
Lu Yinchu remained silent, but Nanxi’s face turned red. He hit the jackpot? Jackpot what?
"Let’s go to the bedroom. If we stay in this living room, where would you go? The space is so big, what if someone came to find you..."
After Guan La finished, she stepped forward to take Nanxi’s hand and smiled, "Let’s go, let’s go upstairs!"
Nanxi looked at Guan La, who was probably about the same age as Han Qing, and although she said she was Lu Yinchu’s subordinate, she seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Yinchu!
But this good relationship was mixed with a lot of tacit understanding and naturalness, unlike a romantic one!
Wait, Nanxi paused, why did she connect Lu Yinchu having a romantic relationship with someone else, what did it have to do with her!!!
