Even if Yan Yan continued to use his usual tricks, it was useless, and he almost ended up in a fight with her.
In the end, seeing her on guard and bristling with anger, he softened and let her go, simply walking behind her to escort her back.
The next day, Yan Yan thought it over slightly and then switched to a car she hadn’t seen before.
She quickly agreed to sit in it obediently.
But it depended on the situation. For example, if it snowed, she would be willing; if it didn’t snow and wasn’t cold, she would never get in the car.
And each time, she only let him drop her off about two hundred meters from her apartment.
Faced with her consistently lukewarm attitude, Yan Yan couldn’t figure out what she was thinking.
The group of mischief-makers continued to come every day to play with Yun Qiluo, but later Yan Yan started to limit the number of people, not letting them cause a fuss around her every day.
The first reason was that he feared their enthusiasm would disturb her, as the amount of food they brought was too much for her to carry.
Every time he saw her struggling to carry a pile of items home by herself, Yan Yan was tempted to go back and teach those little brats a lesson.
The second reason was that with so many visits, Yun Qiqi, who used to occasionally pay attention to him, no longer had time for him.
This caused Yan Yan to sulk for several days, his whole demeanor growing noticeably chillier.
That day, fewer people came, and Yun Qiqi finally had time to mix a drink for him.
Her bartending skills were learned online, so her movements were naturally flamboyant, leaving Ji Ruofeng and others dumbfounded.
Every time they saw her mixing drinks, they felt their Little Sister-in-law was an absolute treasure.
Of course, they didn’t dare let her mix for them, having no choice but to watch enviously as she served the drink to Yan Yan.
But in the blink of an eye, Yun Qiqi mixed a few more drinks for them.
She didn’t say a word, just moved the beautifully crafted cocktails in front of them with a blank expression.
The group was flattered, as over these days they’d come to understand Little Sister-in-law’s personality. Basically, aside from being a bit special towards Yan Yan, she was indifferent to everyone else.
Even her slight favoritism towards Brother Yan was so subtle it was nearly negligible, and they even suspected it was entirely because of Brother Yan’s good looks.
After all, they heard that Little Sister-in-law was drawn to Brother Yan back in the day because of his face, and she seemed to have hugged him and praised his looks several times.
Now, with a much cooler personality, Yun Qiqi still seemed to occasionally stare at his face in a daze.
Realizing this, they couldn’t decide if they should envy or pity Brother Yan.
—Only able to attract Little Sister-in-law’s attention with his looks, how pitiful.
Once they came to their senses, they carefully accepted the cocktails: "Thank you, Little Sister-in-law... oh no, thank you, Qi Qi."
The one who slipped up quickly received several warning glances.
They had agreed to refrain from using that title in front of Little Sister-in-law to avoid suspicion.
But Ji Ruofeng clearly had a hard time breaking the habit; among them, he struggled the most to change.
Yun Qiqi watched them for a moment, her dark eyes flickering with a hint of emotion.
Then she replied softly, "No need to thank me."
Her rare show of goodwill made the group even more excited, and they immediately wanted to chat with her, though a sudden chill ran up their spines.
When they turned around, they saw Yan Yan leaning against the bar, his phoenix eyes half-lidded, lazily gazing at them, his eyes both relaxed and deep.
It sent an inexplicable chill through them.
