CHAPTER 264: CHAPTER 278: SOMETHING DIRTY

Just now, he caught a glimpse of Lan Shan’s appearance and was truly amazed. The girl’s beautiful face, without any makeup, captivated attention and was the kind of presence that one couldn’t forget.

Qiao Rui, unaware of the situation, couldn’t believe such a beautiful person could be around Gong Shaoyu. He silently bestowed Lan Shan with the title of [future sister-in-law] in his heart.

Gong Shaoyu ignored him and lifted his leg towards the elevator. Qiao Rui hurriedly followed, chattering incessantly behind Gong Shaoyu.

The elevator reached the top floor. Gong Shaoyu took out the room card to open the door, but Qiao Rui quickly blocked him, "Shaoyu, who was that girl just now?"

"A friend." Gong Shaoyu spoke, his gaze coldly sweeping over him. Qiao Rui felt a chill under his stare, almost stepping aside.

But then, thinking again, he’s never seen Gong Shaoyu with any female friends before, so there must be something fishy going on. He bit his lip and asked, "Were you really meeting her today?"

"Move." This time, Gong Shaoyu lost his patience, glaring at him, and Qiao Rui, seeing his slight anger, instinctively swallowed.

"Aren’t you really too idle?"

"Not idle, not idle, I’m very busy!" Qiao Rui hurriedly waved his hand. If he dared to admit it, who knows how many more tasks this master would assign him.

"Then aren’t you moving aside?" His tone turned colder, as if in a freezing cave, making one shiver. Unable to resist, Qiao Rui moved aside, making a path.

Gong Shaoyu swiped the card, opened the room door, and walked in with big strides. Qiao Rui was preparing to follow, but the door suddenly slammed shut with a bang.

Fortunately, he reacted in time; otherwise, his nose would have been smashed.

"What the hell?? Do you have to be so violent?" He couldn’t help but extend his hand, pretending to raise a fist as if to strike someone.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the door opened. Gong Shaoyu leaned against the door, staring at Qiao Rui’s hand suspended in midair. "What do you intend to do?"

Qiao Rui’s mouth twitched hard, his eyes quickly darted around, and he smiled, "Heh heh, there’s some dirt up here."

After speaking, he reached out and scratched the door a bit, as if there really was something dirty. Gong Shaoyu said nothing, just coldly watched him for a long moment before finally speaking, "Remember to call me in the morning."

"Oh, okay." Qiao Rui nodded heavily, feeling very guilty now, fearing that this master might notice anything.

"Hmm." Gong Shaoyu acknowledged with a sound, then once again shut the door. Qiao Rui stood by the door for a while, ensuring he had no intention to reopen it, before patting his chest and letting out a deep sigh of relief.

Phew... that scared me to death. Good thing I was quick-witted and reacted fast, otherwise, I’d be doomed... Taking a deep breath to calm down, he then walked towards his own room.

...

Lan Shan didn’t go home but went to Ye Xinluo’s place. On the way, she called her mom. Shen Xiaya just said ’okay,’ told her not to trouble Xinluo, and hung up.

Lan Shan hung up the phone wanting to cry but having no tears. This wasn’t the first time she’d doubted if she was her parents’ biological daughter.

Helplessly parking the car, she opened the door to get out and headed towards the building where Ye Xinluo lived.

She came to Ye Xinluo’s door and pressed the doorbell. Shortly, the door opened, with Ye Xinluo standing at the entrance, "You’re here."

Lan Shan nodded and walked in to change her shoes.

Ye Xinluo closed the door and stood beside Lan Shan, looking at her for a while before speaking, "How was the blind date today?"
