After half an hour, and before five o’clock, Ye Xuan had driven his car back to the Lu Family courtyard.
He parked the car outside and then strode into the yard.
"Eh? Xiao Ye, you’re back."
As soon as he entered the yard, Wu Xiangjun, who had heard the sound of the car horn, came out from the living room, immediately wearing a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, I just returned from a business trip to Huayun City," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
"Weren’t you supposed to be gone for a week? How come you’re back so soon?" Wu Xiangjun asked in confusion.
When Ye Xuan had left, he had said he would be on a business trip for a week, but it had only been three days, and he was already back.
"Hehe, because the work was completed ahead of schedule, I came back early," Ye Xuan responded.
Wu Xiangjun nodded and then smiled, "Xiao Ye, you better hurry inside."
"By the way, Auntie, where is Miaochan?" Ye Xuan asked.
Normally, that girl would definitely have been at the door to meet him, but he hadn’t seen her all day today. Could it be that she wasn’t at home?
"There are guests at home; Miaochan is currently entertaining them," Wu Xiangjun replied with a smile.
"There are guests? Who is it?" Ye Xuan curiously asked.
"It’s a friend Miaochan met today who apparently also saved her. She’s a pretty young girl!"
Wu Xiangjun explained briefly, then beckoned to Ye Xuan, "Xiao Ye, could you please help me entertain them? I’ll go cook now."
After that, Wu Xiangjun tied an apron and hurried toward the kitchen.
Ye Xuan stood there, furrowing his brows—a girl? And she had saved Lu Miaochan? What was going on?
With a puzzled mind, Ye Xuan strode towards the living room.
Upon entering, he immediately saw Lu Miaochan’s graceful figure.
Indeed, besides Lu Miaochan, there was another figure in the living room—a young and beautiful girl!
However, seeing this girl quite astonished Ye Xuan!
He could hardly believe that she was... Murong Wanwan!
Damn! What was this girl up to? How did she end up at Lu Miaochan’s house? And seeing how the two of them were laughing and talking, they appeared to have a good relationship?
Ye Xuan’s gaze was odd as he noticed that Murong Wanwan’s attire today was completely different from her usual style.
She was wearing a cartoon T-shirt with denim shorts below, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. She didn’t have a bit of the spirited young lady’s demeanor; instead, she looked more like an ordinary girl.
If one didn’t know her identity, it would be hard to connect this pure and beautiful young girl with the spoiled Princess of East Sea!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was even more puzzled—what the hell was going on?
The sudden appearance of Ye Xuan also drew the attention of the two women in the living room, who both turned their gazes toward the entrance.
Lu Miaochan was delighted but before she could speak, Murong Wanwan, with her eyes wide open and looking utterly adorable, asked:
"Big Sister Miaochan, who is this handsome man? Could he be your boyfriend?"
Ye Xuan had a grim face. What was this girl up to, pretending she didn’t know him?
His suspicion deepened as he sensed something unusual about the situation. Murong Wanwan suddenly getting close to Lu Miaochan must have had an ulterior motive! Could this girl be hiding some unspeakable secrets?
Thinking this, Ye Xuan was intrigued and decided not to confront her directly, curious to see what tricks she would play.
"Hmm, he’s my boyfriend, and his name is Ye Xuan."
Facing Murong Wanwan’s ’question’, Lu Miaochan nodded, acknowledging Ye Xuan’s identity.
After all, she didn’t know that Murong Wanwan and Ye Xuan were acquainted, and she didn’t find it suspicious at all! In her eyes, it was normal for Murong Wanwan not to know Ye Xuan; otherwise, that would have been suspicious.
With Murong Wanwan, an outsider, present, Lu Miaochan couldn’t be too affectionate with Ye Xuan. Otherwise, after not seeing him for three days, she would definitely have jumped at him.
"Miaochan, you two... ahem, who is this beautiful and cute lady?"
Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a meaningful smile as he looked at Murong Wanwan, who was acting as if she didn’t know him, and asked with a grin.
Wu Xiangjun had mentioned earlier that a beautiful girl had rescued Lu Miaochan. It seemed that it was Murong Wanwan!
To talk about how it all started, we need to go back a bit.
This afternoon, because there were no classes, Lu Miaochan had come home early and went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. However, she was harassed by a gang of hooligans.
Just when Lu Miaochan was at a loss, Murong Wanwan, who happened to pass by, like a heroine, made a stunning entrance. With a few punches and kicks, she sent the harassing hooligans running away, thus rescuing Lu Miaochan!
The trope of a hero saving a beauty was common, but a heroine saving another beauty was indeed a first!
Consequently, the two women met and quickly established a profound revolutionary friendship.
As a thanks for the ’lifesaving grace’, Lu Miaochan invited Murong Wanwan to her home for a meal, to celebrate their acquaintance, deepen their sisterly bond, and that’s how the scene above unfolded.
At this moment, after hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Lu Miaochan pointed at Murong Wanwan and took the initiative to introduce her, "Ye Xuan, this is my good friend I met this afternoon; her name is Murong Wanwan."
After speaking, she paused, noticed that Ye Xuan’s gaze was fixed on Murong Wanwan, and came over to whisper a warning:
"Don’t get any ideas just because she’s pretty. I have to tell you, Wanwan is a very innocent girl, so don’t you dare bully her, understand?"
Lu Miaochan knew Ye Xuan’s character very well, so she made her point clear in advance with a verbal warning.
To prevent him from harboring impure thoughts and reaching out his wolfish clutches toward Murong Wanwan!
Wouldn’t she end up having another ’sister’ then?
However, what she didn’t know was that Ye Xuan and Murong Wanwan had already met long ago, had not only extended his wolfish clutches but also taken many liberties, and their intimacy was in no way less than that with his girlfriend; they were just short of booking a hotel room.
While Lu Miaochan spoke earnestly, Ye Xuan was almost bursting out laughing inside!
This capricious little girl who would kick a man in the crotch without a second thought, was being called pure and cute?
She was a real-life little witch, fearing neither King Yan nor an exaggerated statement, perhaps the entire East Sea City couldn’t find another person as cunning as she! If this girl was innocent, then the whole world is full of green tea bitches.
Although he was almost bursting with laughter internally, Ye Xuan managed to suppress it and didn’t let it show on his face.
Extending a hand to Murong Wanwan, Ye Xuan said normally, "Miss Murong, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I am Miaochan’s boyfriend."
"Hehe, hello Big Brother Ye, nice to meet you, please take care of me!"
Murong Wanwan gave Ye Xuan a glance and casually reached out to shake his hand, her expression as if she didn’t know him at all!
Yet, as she withdrew her hand, her four fingers gently scratched the palm of Ye Xuan, filled with teasing intent.
This made Ye Xuan’s heart race uncontrollably...
