C34 Escape (1/2)

After asking Lan Xi to go eat dinner, Xiao Yunyi and Lu Zihao went to the study room to discuss some matters.

The person that Lu Zihao had arranged to be with Xiao Ran sent him a message, saying that he wanted to make contact with Mu Yaran as of late. It was likely that he wanted to use Lan Xi to sow discord between them.

When Xiao Yunyi heard this news, he did not have any other thoughts as he knew that the Mu family would definitely not set their sights on Xiao Ran. On one hand, Xiao Ran didn't have any rights in the company and couldn't have any thoughts in the old man's place. More importantly, the people he had arranged for in the company had all been cut off by him.

Xiao Ran was currently a commander without any support. Other than money and the status of the second young master of the Xiao family, he had nothing else. As long as the Mu family didn't want to offend Xiao Yunyi, they wouldn't cooperate with him.

Of course, even though he was thinking this, Xiao Yunyi knew that he still had to be on guard. Since last time Xiao Ran was able to find the culprit to kill him, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't do it again.

Lu Zihao understood what he meant, saying that he would have his men continue to follow him and keep an eye on him.

Lan Xi had already returned to her room after finishing her meal after the two had finished discussing their matters.

Xiao Yunyi didn't think too much about it and only felt that she was tired. However, when he opened the door to Lan Xi's room after dinner, he found that she had locked it just like the night before. He was somewhat puzzled, unable to understand why she would do such a thing.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun went downstairs to find a spare key and opened the door.

Lan Xi was in the bathroom bathing. She didn't hear the door open. Xiao Yunyi looked around the room and discovered that there was no one there. He also heard the sound coming from the bathroom.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yunyi returned to his room to take a battle bath. After that, he quickly returned to Lan Xi's room and sat down on the sofa. He even poured two glasses of red wine.

After taking a bath, Lan Xi realized that she had been in a rush and forgot to bring her clothes.

After thinking for a while, she locked the door and no one would come in, so she put on her towel and went out. However, the moment she opened the door, she was met with Xiao Yunyi's gaze.

Startled, Lan Xi loosened her hand and the towel on her body fell to the ground, revealing her naked body in front of Xiao Yunyi's eyes.

Lan Xi noticed Xiao Yunyi's gaze darken. She quickly picked up a towel from the ground and draped it over her shoulders before falling back into her blanket.

She became a little flustered and angry as she interrogated Xiao Yunyi, ”Why are you in my room? Didn't I lock the door? How did you get in? ”

”The spare key.” After pausing for a few seconds, he asked, ”Why are you locking the door?”

Lan Xi's hand was dressing herself under the blanket while she was distracted by Xiao Yunyi's movements. When she heard him ask her why she had locked the door, she stopped.

”Nothing.” She said, ”Lock it up if you want, do you need a reason for a woman to lock the door?”

Xiao Yunyi was a little dissatisfied with his reply. He frowned as his tone turned cold, ”Women lock the door to prevent men from entering. Who are you defending against? Lu Zihao or me?”

Lan Xi didn't expect him to ask her so straightforwardly. She didn't know how to reply, so she could only say, ”It's nothing. It's not to be on guard against you. You're thinking too much.” She turned her head away from him.

Xiao Yunyi was very dissatisfied with her reply, and with her attitude of running away. Putting down the wine cup in his hand, he stood up and walked towards Lan Xi.
