Chapter 15: Turns Out We're the Same

Lin Yu watched as Madam Rong left, and then the servant closed the door. He let out a scornful laugh, immediately released Anmian's hand, and sat down on the sofa next to the one Madam Rong hadn't sat on.

His expression was grim, yet it was impossible to tell what was going on behind his deep - blue eyes.

Anmian could tell he was in a foul mood, so she casually sat down on the adjacent sofa. Being a sensible person, she knew better than to provoke him when he was in such a state.

After about five minutes, Lin Yu turned his head to look at her. "That woman just now is the wife of the head of the Rong family, the top plutocratic family in Luo Ya. People call her Lady Rose."

"I've heard of her."

Anmian nodded. She had some knowledge of Lady Rose.

It was said that she had two children. Her younger son, Rong Yuan, was the current power - holder in Luo Ya, almost on a par with the president. Her elder daughter was Rong Xinci. It was said that she studied jewelry design at university, but later got involved in other things. Although she was sexy and beautiful, she had an ambitious spirit like a man.

Anmian actually kind of liked Rong Xinci. She thought such a woman wouldn't be as delicate and artificial as a "white - lotus" type. However, in reality, she would completely change her mind about this half a month later.

"I'm just giving you a heads - up. She'll probably set her sights on you."

After Lin Yu said this, Anmian immediately widened her eyes. "What do you mean?"

She had reluctantly agreed to be his fake girlfriend. She hadn't even settled the score with him for suddenly calling her his fiancée. How could she be in danger now? Lin Yu pressed his index finger against his temple. His sitting posture was alluring, and his features were coldly handsome. "But don't worry. If you live here, there will be people protecting you all around."

Live... here?!

As soon as Young Master Lin said this casually, Anmian jumped up from the sofa like a cat with its fur ruffled. "Are you kidding me? Why would I live here?!"

She didn't know Lin Yu well at all! Living in this man's house was as unsafe as stepping into a tiger's den!

Lin Yu's expression remained calm, paying no heed to her outburst because this was all part of his plan.

Seeing his confident and composed demeanor, Anmian immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest for protection. "Don't get any ideas about me, you hear! Although I promised to be your fake girlfriend for now, there's no way anything will happen between us! Especially... that kind of thing!!"

The feisty girl emphasized the last part, her delicate face full of vigilance, yet it was kind of cute.

Lin Yu found it amusing and waved his hand. "Tsk, you're overthinking. All I meant was that if you don't live here, someone will come after you soon. Also, your parents might come to drag you back to get married. If you live with me, I can at least protect you. So, think about it. Isn't that the case?"

It had to be said that Lin Yu was actually a very shrewd person.

After he finished speaking, Anmian was mostly convinced by him.

If she could use this man to get out of the engagement with the Wen family, then it would be a stroke of luck for her.

Anmian thought for a moment and let out an "um," which was kind of like an agreement, though her expression was still reluctant. "But I didn't bring any of my clothes or anything!"

She had run out of her house in a hurry yesterday and had nothing with her except a phone and a few hundred yuan in her wallet.

If she lived here, what would she do for a change of clothes?

Lin Yu seemed to have anticipated this. He stood up from the sofa and said matter - of - factly, "Buy some."

Anmian rolled her eyes. Right, buy some! But she didn't have any money now.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly Anmian scurried in front of him and stretched out her arms to block his way.

Lin Yu frowned. "What's the problem now?"

"I have no money!" Anmian said, jutting out her neck and puffing out her chest. For the first time, she felt so bold saying these three words.

So, Anmian's intention was crystal clear.
