adow flashing across her eyes. Leng Zhu Jing leaned down and kissed her forehead."And this kiss, too."This was merely a superficial beginning. Leng Zhubing stood up straight, gazing into Tong Yimo's e...Dinner was shared by her, Tong Yimo, and Aunt Liu. Leng Yeshen was not at home.

The dishes were all served, and Tong Yimo saw that Lian Xing'er hadn't even dried her hair yet. She sent the little girl upstairs to blow dry her hair again.

As Lian Xing'er walked upstairs, she said to her mother, "Mommy, can you make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for me tomorrow"

"Before you've even finished this meal, you're already thinking about tomorrow's. You're such a little foodie!" Tong Yimo said with a doting smile.

Lian Xing'er mischievously stuck out her tongue at Tong Yimo and quickly ran upstairs.

On the other side, when Ming Sihan returned to his villa, Pei Xuanyan, who lived in his villa all the time, had already prepared dinner for him.

Last time she went to Beicheng with him to help him out, not only did she mess things up, but she also got him in trouble by causing a taxi to be damaged.

Later, Pei Xuanyan ran back alone.

Ming Sihan didn't say much either.

When they were eating, Bei Xuanyan saw Ming Sihan staring at his phone the whole time and couldn't help but complain: "Didn't your parents teach you not to look at your phone during meals"

" "..." Ming Sihan raised his eyes to glance at Pei Xuanyan, too lazy to pay attention to her, and continued staring at his phone screen.

Didn't we agree to text him and let him know we were safe

Where is that girl, Lian Xing'er She hasn't arrived yet.

What on earth is she up to

"Hey, are you waiting for your sweetheart to text you" Pei Xuan'yan asked while picking up dishes.

Ming Sihan didn't say anything, but he put down his phone and started picking up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Pei Xuanyan went on and on: "I'm telling you, even Xing'er that girl has always been carefree. Don't expect her to like you."

Upon hearing Pei Xuan's words, Ming Sihan immediately raised his eyes in disbelief and stared at her.

After being stared at by Ming Sihan, Pei Xuanyan felt uneasy all over and asked again, "What are you looking at me for Am I a feast for the eyes"

"Have you and Xing'er known each other since childhood" Ming Sihan was surprised.

Pei Xuanyan realized she had slipped up and had to confess, "I know her, but she doesn't know me! Besides, everyone in our organization knows her. Cold Yechen's beloved daughter! Who wouldn't"

"So, Xing'er was drugged with a hypnotic drug at the hotel last time, that's why you knew about it first" Ming Sihan said calmly.

Pei Xuanyan grinned. "What else"

" "..." Ming Sihan didn't say anything more, calmly continuing to eat.

Pei Xuan'yan couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere and couldn't help but continue, "I'm telling you, you can like whoever you want, just don't go liking Lian Xing'er. That girl has been spoiled rotten by her parents since she was little, with a whole host of bad habits. She..."

"How long are you going to live in my house" Ming Sihan directly interrupted Pei Xuanyan's words.

Pei Xuan'yan grinned: "Until the higher-ups assign me a new mission."

"This house, I've arranged for you to stay in. I'll go live with my parents." Ming Sihan said nonchalantly.

"Hey! Don't go! You just came back, it's like adding some life to this house!"

"A man and a woman living together in the same room, do you think that's appropriate" Ming Sihan said angrily.

Pei Xuan's mouth curved slightly: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of Besides, your villa is so big, we two aren't even sharing a room, right And..."

Halfway through her sentence, Pei Xuan'yan remembered something and looked at Ming Sihan, letting out a chuckle. "Oh— I know! You're worried that Xing'er might misunderstand us having something going on, right Don't worry, she definitely wishes we did."

"You eat this by yourself!" Ming Sihan immediately put down his chopsticks in frustration, got up from the table, and went upstairs with his phone.

It's almost eight o'clock now, but Xing'er still hasn't replied to his text message.

Does she really not trust him at all

Why not take the initiative and give her a call

Ming Sihan thought about it, just about to dial Lian Xing'er's phone number, but hesitated again.

Why would he call her

She didn't even give him a call.

Ming Sihan hesitated for a moment, but still put the phone away.

On the other side, after Lian Xing finished dinner, she went for a walk with Tong Yimo. After returning, she lay directly on the bed looking at comic books.

She never had to worry about the mundane necessities of life, like food, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. No matter where she was, she could do whatever she pleased and pursue her passions freely.

When she was reading comics, after she got tired of looking, she simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep, completely forgetting to call or text Ming Sihan back.

And Ming Sihan waited for her, even Little Star's news, all night. Although he knew she must have safely returned home, he inexplicably held back a stubbornness and didn't take the initiative to call her.

The next morning, Lian Xing'er was lying in bed when she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

The next second, she immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Liu, who was cleaning the hallway outside the bedroom door, heard the noise inside and knocked before coming in.
