Shen Xinglan’s return didn’t affect A Miao. The only change was that she went downstairs for breakfast later than before. However, even if Shen Xinglan was gone, Le Yi was still here…
Le Yi touched his eyelids and said, “Are you going to keep them like that?”
“Yes.” A Miao was going to eat her second sausage, and suddenly asked, “Can’t I?”
She thought it was Shen Xinglan’s idea.
“Do you have some misunderstandings about Shen?” Le Yi helped her to pour a cup of coffee. “I just asked casually. The cosmetics are not good for your skin if you wear them all year round.”
A Miao had finished eating the second sausage. She picked up a piece of bread and looked at the man next to her. “Doctor Le, can we change the way of getting along with each other?”
“Like the way of you and Shen?”
“Can we?” A Miao added a thick layer of peanut butter on the bread. “I am very used to Shen Xinglan’s attitude to me. Your concerns about me always make me nervous.”
Le Yi still wore a gentle smile, but helplessness flashed across his eyes. “You are too sensitive. Just because I schemed against you once with Shen, you have pulled me into the blacklist.”
A Miao did not deny it as she shrugged. She wiped her mouth and said, “I am full. Suit yourself.”
“A Miao!” Le Yi suddenly stopped her.
A Miao turned around and asked him with her eyes.
“Try to understand Shen. No matter what, at least he gave you your present life. Even if the process was not very pleasant, he is better than the Xia family.”
“How much does this man care about that nut?” A Miao couldn’t help thinking of the passions between men on the website. She trembled and said, “You can rest assured, I will.”
“I will keep far away from that nut so that you don’t have to worry about me.”
Looking at the back of A Miao, who was fleeing away, Le Yi frowned as if there was something wrong.
Shen Xinglan didn’t know that A Miao had misunderstood him and his friend. Since yesterday, he had been thinking over the relationship between him and A Miao.
“Boss?” Shen II called.
Shen Xinglan flipped his finger. “Let her come in.”
Shen II was a little surprised, but he immediately turned to the door and said, “Let her come up.”
“Shen II…” Shen Xinglan suddenly said inside the room.
“Yes, I’m here.”
Shen Xinglan blinked and asked, “Are you… still a virgin?”
…
Shen II twisted his mouth and said, “I am.”
Oh, Shen Xinglan felt annoyed. “What about Shen I?”
“You’ve sent him to Africa.”
Shen I was thrown onto the plane, crying. He should have arrived in Africa by now.
“Call him back.”
…
Shen II nodded particularly calmly. “I will make the call right away.”
When he went out, Shen Xinglan rubbed his brows. “Shen II is too serious. I should ask Shen I about this kind of thing.”
“Boss, she is here.” Shen II opened the door and Xia Wan in a long skirt stood next to him.
Shen Xinglan didn’t move as he said, “What brings you here, Miss Xia?”
“Mr. Shen!” Xia Wan gently stroked her hair and walked in. “Long time no see. I hope I’m not bothering you.”
“You’re welcome. What do you need?”
Xia Wan’s smile on her face became a bit stiff. She clenched her fists. In the past days, she was tangled by Bai Youran. She finally could come to visit Shen Xinglan alone when the man went abroad for business.
“Mr. Shen, I want to see my cousin. Is it convenient for you?”
Shen Xinglan pursed his lips and said, “Then you should call your cousin. Why do you ask me?”
“A Miao is your fiancee. I think… I should respect your opinion!” Xia Wan came to probe him. She wanted to know how A Miao was doing and if Shenxing cared about her.
“Will your fiance stop you from seeing your family?” Shen Xinglan snorted. “He must love you too much.”
Hearing this, Xia Wan felt a bit embarrassed. She bit her lip. “Can I go to your house to see A Miao?”
“Whatever.” Shen Xinglan looked at her and said, “As long as she agrees.”
A Miao never knew that Xia Wan could be so shameless. She refused her on the phone, but she still came. Not only her but also Shen Xinglan, who didn’t come back until dark, also came back.
“A Miao!” Xia Wan screamed, and then she saw Le Yi. “Who… ”
Le Yi nodded with a constant smile and said, “Hello, Miss Xia. We have met in the hospital.”
“Right, right, I remember you!” How could she forget such a handsome man? Why was he here?
Receiving her doubts, Le Yi explained kindly, “I am a friend of Shen.”
“Sure enough, he is not a general doctor. Did Shen Xinglan deliberately call his friend to check A Miao when she was in the hospital? Was he interested in A Miao since that time?”
When she realized this, her face became darker and she even forgot to cover it up. “A Miao, why don’t you go home to see us? Grandpa is very worried about you.”
“If you don’t want to laugh, don’t laugh.” A Miao didn’t know why this woman stopped being hypocritical. What a good actress she was at ordinary times.
Le Yi blinked. “Is she angry at me?”
“No, no!” Xia Wan quickly explained, “I am worried about A Miao.” She quickly shifted the topic, “Can we talk privately?”
Shen Xinglan, who hadn’t talked since he entered the room, looked at A Miao with a cold face as they passed by.
“Don’t be stupid and don’t be sold.”
…
A Miao rolled her eyes, pretending that she didn’t hear it.
Leading Xia Wan to the small living room next to the hall, A Miao sat down and looked at her. “Tell me, what are you doing here?”
“Won’t you show me your room?” There was no one around and Xia Wan didn’t have to pretend. She sat down and smiled at A Miao. “Do you live here alone?”
A Miao felt very funny. “If I say Yes, will you feel better!?”
“You…” Xia Wan shot her a glare. “What are you showing off for? When you returned to the Xia family, you were unassuming to me.”
“It was because that was your house and I had to bow my head.” A Miao stopped smiling. “This also works for you now. Here is my home, and I don’t want to see you again.”
Xia Wan darkened her face and then sneered, “This is Shen Xinglan’s home. You should not give yourself a lot of credit.”
“I am his fiancee now, and you are nothing.” A Miao said faintly, “Tell Xia Yongqiang, I don’t care about how you treated me before, but from now on, I have nothing to do with the Xia family.”
A Miao stood up and said, “You can leave now.”
As a wise person, A Miao always knew what she should do. She would never take risks because of something like backbones.
But now… the Xia family could not control her anymore. They also did not dare to use Song Baohua and Zhou Xiao. Otherwise, they were slapping Shen Xinglan’s face.
“Don’t move!” Xia Wan stopped her. “I ask you, have you ever seen a jade pendant with a small bronze mirror in the middle?”
A Miao glanced at Xia Wan with a quiet look. She asked, “What did you say? What kind of jade pendant?” …
“It’s a piece of jewelry that Grandpa usually carried on.” Xia Wan stared at her and wanted to see through her. “But after you left, the jade pendant disappeared.”
“It disappeared?” A Miao was shocked.
She definitely put the fake one on Xia Yongqiang. How could it disappear?
“You mean that I stole it?” A Miao calmed down and said with an unhappy expression, “Do you have evidence? Don’t talk nonsense without evidence.”
Xia Wan forcibly grasped her. “No one would steal things at home but you. Did you steal it for money? It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. Let me search your room!”
“Hehe.” A Miao laughed and then screamed, “For what reason?”
“I…” Xia Wan could not speak.
She was very impressed with the jade pendant with a bronze mirror. It was blessed by a master when Xia Yongqiang visited him a dozen years ago. After that, his business indeed kept expanding. Xia Yongqiang also attached great importance to that jade pendant, and he always carried it on him.
However, the second day after A Miao left, Xia Yongqiang suddenly could not find the jade pendant. They looked over all the monitors but did not see anyone entering Xia Yongqiang’s room.
“If you didn’t hide anything, why don’t you let me search?” Xia Wan dragged A Miao’s sleeves.
A Miao pushed her away. “I left a week ago. Why are you looking for it by now? Just like you said, if I stole it, I have already sold it!”
“Miss.” Shen II suddenly walked in.
Xia Wan released her hand and put on a smile. “You are coming in time. I have something to ask Mr. Shen. Can I see him?”
“Sorry, Miss Xia, it is dinner time. You can go to the company to make an appointment if you have something.” Shen II said with a blank expression and made a gesture to A Miao.
“Boss invited Miss A Miao to the restaurant and have dinner.”
She should be stupid if she would not cooperate with him. A Miao turned and left.
“Wait a minute!” Xia Wan caught up until she was stopped by Shen II. “Miss Xia, Boss asked me to send you back.”
Xia Wan was stunned. “What… What?” He should also invite her to dinner, right?
“Please.” Shen II stood in front of her and blocked her way.
In the restaurant, Le Yi was staring at Shen Xinglan in a meaningful way.
“Did you fall in love with me?” Shen Xinglan shot him a glare.
Le Yi shook his head and said, “You won’t pursue a girl like this. You are so mean that no one will like you.”
“He clearly cared about A Miao, otherwise, he would not come back so early. He also asked Shen II to guard at the door and drive Xia Wan away if something happened.”
“You seem to be very passionate about love affairs. Do you have a need?” Shen Xinglan knocked on the table. “Let Shen II take you to have some fun tonight. Don’t repress yourself.”
A Miao, who just walked to the door, froze. She seemed to know something big…
“Come here.” Shen Xinglan’s eyes quickly flitted over A Miao. Seeing that she was fine, he turned around and say, “Don’t waste time. The dishes are getting cold.”
A Miao went to the table and stared at him. “I have something to tell you. After that, you should lose your appetite.”
“I have no appetite since when I see you.” Shen Xinglan crankily said. Le Yi realized he was helpless.
“Oh, fortunately, I have seen more disgusting things. Even when I sit opposite you, I can eat.”
Le Yi rubbed his eyebrows. “Can you stop quarreling during the dinner?”
