C22 Send Someone to Get Rid of Her (1/2)

”No, I truly like you. I …” Xiao Yunyi didn't want to see her feel so sad and inferior. He subconsciously opened his mouth, but discovered that he was completely unable to give her any promises. A feeling of powerlessness slowly spread from the depths of his heart.

The corners of Lan Xi's mouth curved up in a self-deprecating smile. She was actually still waiting for him to finish. Could it be that she still had some hope?

He pushed away Xiao Yunyi's arm with all his might and endured the pain from his body. He snatched the chopsticks from Xiao Yunyi's hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

”Cough! Cough!” He accidentally coughed. After a bit of relaxation, he continued to swallow every mouthful of food.

Lan Xi thought that she must be in a very sorry state right now.

Xiao Yunyi hurriedly passed over a cup of water. Lan Xi struggled to swallow down the food in her mouth, and pushed the man's hand away as she panted, ”No need, I can …”

The atmosphere in the room was very weird. Xiao Yunyi looked at the woman who was trying to be brave, and made up his mind to protect her for the rest of her life.

Ever since Xiao Yunyi rescued Lan Xi from her killer's lair, the headlines on various websites had become:

”The successor of the Kun Peng Group falls in love with a gangster killer!”

”The successor of the Kun Peng Group bravely charged into the gang for love's sake!”

”The descendants of the Xiao clan fall in love with the assassins!”

”The property of the Xiao clan will eventually belong to the underworld!”

”…”

At this moment, within the Xiao family's residence.

An old man in a Chinese tunic was sitting on a private bamboo chair, reading a business newspaper with a great deal of air between his eyebrows.

”Butler Lu, has Yun Yi made any movements recently?” The Xiao family's old man asked slowly.

”Old master, young master, recently …”

Opposite Old Man Xiao stood a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, speaking respectfully. He was the main butler of the Xiao family, and also the father of Xiao Yunyi's secretary, Lu Zihao.

Confronted with Old Man Xiao's question, Butler Lu was clearly in a difficult position.

”Feel free to speak.” Old Man Xiao's deep voice sounded.

”Rumor has it that the Young Master and a female assassin were having an ambiguous relationship. He even ventured into the underworld to rescue her.” Butler Lu replied honestly.

”A gang?” This brat's wings are really hard! What dirty woman wants to enter my Xiao family's door? ”Don't even think about her!” Old Man Xiao slammed his hand down on the table, splashing some of the water from his teacup onto the table.

”Old Lu, send someone to deal with this woman.” Old Man Xiao's wrinkled eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.

Lan Xi had been recuperating in the villa, and her body was almost fully recovered.

She had been thinking about how she should get along with Xiao Yunyi these past few days. Since he had already confessed his feelings, it would be impossible for them to get along as naturally as before.

However, since the two of them had a three year agreement, she could only stay and keep her promise.

After finding a suitable reason to stay, Lan Xi felt much better. She felt that her body was almost better, and the weather was not bad either. It was a good time for her to go shopping.

After getting out of bed, he casually washed his face and took out a blue one-shouldered dress from the wardrobe. The simple waist design outlined Lan Xi's proud twin peaks as well as her slim figure.

”Jolin, I'm going out for a walk. See you tonight.”
