She said it in a way that seemed somewhat unpalatable, but she was right.
How convenient was it taking a taxi? As long as you’re in the city, how can’t you get back?
Luo Yibei was at a loss for words, seemingly not expecting her comment.
But after hesitating, he said faintly, “The place where Ranran is now may be remote.”
“Then go!” Fang Chixia averted her gaze, took the remote control and turned on the TV, and never looked at him again.
“I’ll be back later.” Luo Yibei dropped a word and turned around, heading straight out of the house.
Fang Chixia was sitting alone in the living room for a while when Xiao Zuo suddenly made a call.
His gloating was unmistakable as soon as the phone was connected, he drummed in a row, “Grandpa is not home, Second Uncle and Aunt Zhixing have gone abroad. My father and my mother have gone out to the world of two. Now, there is no one to look after me at home, Xia Xia, come here!”
“Aren’t there so many servants?” Compared to him who seemed to be still somewhat excited, Fang Chixia’s voice was unflapped, as light as white boiling water without even a hint of wave.
“Can the servants look after me? Isn’t there a lot of news reports going around right now about children from rich families being kidnapped for ransom by their maids? Are you at ease?” Xiao Zuo stammered what he thought was an idiom and even pulled out the news.
How could Fang Chixia believe in him, can the Luo family servants be so untrustworthy?
Besides, aren’t there so many bodyguards at home?
A family like the Luo family, not to mention taking a person that old out, she’s certain it would be difficult even for a fly to fly in under the eyes of so many bodyguards, right?
Fang Chixia understands that Xiao Zuo just wants her to go over there and accompany him. His intent is so transparent, but she kept it to herself.
“Xiaxia, are you ready to come over?” Xiao Zuo was still yelling over the phone.
One of the biggest reasons why Fang Chixia dislikes going to the Luo family was because she was afraid that Luo Yibei would misunderstand. And whenever she goes there, his family might spot the depth of their relationship.
But now that Luo Yibei had gone to pick up Su Ran, her second concern was nonexistent.
Well, not that Luo Yibei has shown any hint of misunderstanding on the few times that she’d gone over there.
Fang Chixia hesitated for a moment and finally gave in.
There’s some truth in Xiao Zuo’s claim. None of those people he mentioned in the Luo family were really around.
“You might as well stay here tonight!” Xiao Zuo arranged a room for her in his adult-like manner, and then took her to his own room.
“Go to bed early and lie down while I read you a story.” It’s past nine o’clock in the evening. Fang Chixia was concerned because he’s very young and wanted to tell him a happy bedtime story, urging him to go to bed early, but Xiao Zuo refused unexpectedly.
“Are you a child?” Xiao Zuo glanced at her, that look was definitely despising her.
“Don’t you like Pleasant Goat and Big Bad Wolf? Okay, let’s change it into another.” Fang Chixia was already accustomed to his maturity beyond that of children his own age, and very blandly continued to search for children’s stories in her mind.
Xiao Zuo’s room doesn’t even have a book that a child of several years old should read. It’s full of high-tech texts that she can’t read, so she wanted to think of a story in her memory she can tell.
Fang Chixia combed her mind for some stories she heard in the past, but after thinking about it for half a day, Xiao Zuo suddenly blurted out, “Tell me about yourself, perhaps this young master will be interested.”
He ordered in a condescending manner, with a cool expression on his face, especially in line with Luo Yibei’s high and cold manner. It gave Fang Chixia an urge to pat him on the head.
