Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Lan Xinru, Who Adapts to the Situation
In Lan Xinxixi’s utterly helpless gaze, Zuo Qingfeng pushed the door open and entered from outside the private room. Upon seeing this, Xi Yu reacted with incredible speed, instantly hiding behind her brother and shouting loudly, "Brother, save me."
Xi Shaoqi’s handsome face, adorned with a faint smile, instantly flashed with a resigned expression. He then spoke knowingly, "Yu’er, what happened this time?"
While speaking, he cast a guilty glance at his slowly approaching brother. Nobody could understand the sister he raised with indulgence better than him; she was entirely a troublemaker. From childhood to now, he had cleaned up countless messes, from shoving kids to the ground to handling major incidents in the entertainment circle. Thankfully, in recent years, with his brother stepping in, things had become quite a bit easier for him. It’s just that it’s been tough on his brother, who transformed from a well-mannered young man into the current ever-tolerant daddy, proving that such dutiful daddies aren’t born but pressured by life’s realities.
He understands this point profoundly, which is why he feels guilty in his heart. After all, Yu’er growing into this kind of personality is undoubtedly linked to her brother offering unconditional adoration from childhood.
Unlike Xi Shaoqi’s guilty look, Zuo Qingfeng, having arrived at his side, maintained a consistent and unwavering attitude.
In his heart, since he chose to spend a lifetime with this little woman, he could accept anything about her without conditions, yet he couldn’t be lenient when discipline was due.
The next moment, his gaze fell on the little woman hiding behind his brother. The latter too cooperated quietly, stepping aside and completely exposing the little woman hiding behind him.
Without the protection of a sturdy barrier, the little woman who originally had her head down immediately raised her head and glared viciously at her brother, "Xi Shaoqi, you have no brotherly affection; how can you abandon the one you love at such a critical moment?"
"NO, NO, NO."
Xi Shaoqi, while shaking his finger, explained to her, "Yu’er, since you and Qingfeng got engaged, he’s your beloved one now. As for me, the brother can only be queued behind, so at such critical moments, naturally, I step aside obediently. Honestly, the brother’s heart is still quite reluctant."
Reluctant—yeah right, his handsome face was clearly showing a look of schadenfreude watching a good show; don’t think she couldn’t tell.
Feeling wronged, the little woman pouted, innocently looking at the tall man in front of her, attempting to use her pitiful appearance to arouse a hint of compassion from him so he’d forget what she did tonight. "Brother Feng, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Look, I’m perfectly fine here?" After saying that, she rolled up her sleeve to try to add some persuasive power.
As an excellent lawyer, Zuo Qingfeng lacked nothing but a steadfast heart. Under his fiancée’s pitiful assault, his demeanor didn’t soften a bit. He still shot a cold look towards the little woman in front of him, as if saying, "Go on, keep making it up."
Facing a man who wouldn’t bend or relent, Xi Yu indeed couldn’t keep fabricating and decided to go for broke, "Stupid stone, what do you want then, can’t you just say something, you going to die?
