Upon hearing this voice, the three looked at the man that was as elegant as an immortal walking out of a painting.
“Jing Qian?” The two men clutching Xiang Yi Mo’s wrist called out to him in unison. Both were puzzled by his appearance.
On the other hand, Xiang Yi Mo looked up to meet the inquisitive look in the man’s clear eyes, and the unspoken guiltiness in her heart made her lower her head. In her heart, she silently said—
I can’t see you, and you can’t see me.
However, it was just a coverup, an ineffective self-comfort in the form of evasion and avoidance.
Xiang Yi Mo’s entire body went numb.
Initially, after the incident in the afternoon, she saw the message from Jing Qian, who had sent her a message when she was seducing Ji Heng Yu. The message stated that he had finished the last surgery, and he might not be back until around seven o’clock in the evening after he was done observing the patient.
So, she only dared to bite the bullet and let Ji Heng Yu send her back after much contemplation!
It was just that…
Even if she bumped into Lu Wang Chen without any warning, why did Jing Qian show up more than an hour earlier than promised?
System! Xiao Qi!
(Whimper) Why didn’t you tell me in advance?!
「Xiao Qi can only detect but not predict. 」
「Xiao Qi detected that when Lu Wang Chen appeared at Bishui Yuntian, the two cars were just about ten minutes apart, so…」
「Even if Xiao Qi tells the host, can the host interrupt him from sending you back on your own? Or can you contact Lu Wang Chen in front of Ji Heng Yu to tell him to leave? Or in front of both of them so that Jing Qian could not have returned so early?」
Xiang Yi Mo: …
「Look, host, you can’t change that, can you? So host, we, warriors, should just face the beast head on!” 」
Xiang Yi Mo: I’m a delicate flower. I’m not a warrior.
「A delicate flower can also face the beasts!」
The beasts might pity the delicate flower, but it couldn’t escape being torn and crushed by the competing beasts.
In the villa’s hall, Xiang Yi Mo huddled on the sofa with a pillow, absentmindedly watching the drama on the television screen. In the corner of her eyes, she occasionally looked towards the three figures in the kitchen as she pondered…
Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu entered her residence in the end.
After all, the three were too conspicuous and easily recognisable in this villa area where all the affluent lived.
The two of them also “threatened” Xiang Yi Mo. Thus, she could only let them in first, so it would be for the good of everyone.
Oh, that’s wrong. There isn’t any good for her at all. (Whimper)
Jing Qian naturally wasn’t very pleased about leading wolves into his home. <sup>[1]</sup>
If they didn’t have any feelings for Xiang Yi Mo, he would, of course, welcome them as his best friends. However, he could see the “bad intentions” that his two friends had.
However, with their friendship and Jing Qian’s calm and easy-going nature, he still acquiesced and allowed the two to enter.
As soon as they entered, Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu, visiting here for the first time, looked around, and they both noticed something: Mo Mo’s place has stuff belonging to a male!
Then, Jing Qian took on the posture of a man who knew the place well and entertained the two “unexpected guests”.
He brought out two pairs of slippers for them and walked in, telling them the general directions to the living room, toilet, tea room, etc.
Lu Wang Chen & Ji Heng Yu: …
The strange feeling in the hearts of the two men intensified even more. They glanced at each other. Ji Heng Yu said with a soft chuckle, “Jing Qian is indeed still the one with the best brains among the four of us. I heard Qin Chu say he asked you to visit Mo Mo’s home the other day and came here just that once. Yet, he is still familiar with this place as if this is his own home.”
“By the way, you are also here to visit Mo Mo today?”
When Jing Qian heard this, he looked at him indifferently, “No, I live here.”
