Chapter 4:Awkwardness

Neighbour appeared before Luanian and An Ye in slippers and a beige bathrobe,looking displeased.His unbuttoned collar revealed a portion of his well-defined and alluring pectorals.His hair was still wet,matching his rebellious and spirited aura.

Luanian,suppressing her revulsion,finally recognized him as Xin Wen,the very person she had been cursing earlier!

"Miss Lan?So,you're a police undercover in your spare time?But it seems you've come to the wrong place?!"

After a brief silence,apart from shock,Xin Wen was more intrigued by this unexpected challenger.So,this"stubborn one"also has a humorous and mischievous side.Interesting!

"…"Luanian,trying her best to hold back,couldn't believe her eyes and could only turn around in astonishment.

"Er,Mr.Xin,I'm really sorry,I..."An Ye fumbled for words,wanting to explain but drawing a blank,frustration etched on his face as if ready to bite his tongue.

"Mr.Xin?"Luanian was taken aback by the title.Glancing at Xin Wen's arrogant demeanor and her senior brother's respectful posture,she quickly caught on—they shared the same boss!

Luanian cast a reproachful glance at An Ye,"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

An Ye shook his head with a bitter smile,"Did you let me?You said you'd handle it yourself,whoever it was."

"An Ye,she is..."Watching Lan Nian and her bodyguard blatantly flirting,Xin Wen suddenly felt uneasy,her eyes scanning An Ye like knives.

At that moment,from the bathroom in Xin Wen's room,a slightly anxious female voice called out in a familiar tone:"A Wen,A Wen,are you there?Pass me the new sandalwood soap I bought,quick!"

Hearing this,Lan Nian's delicate eyebrows furrowed,but her eyes gleamed with delight as she stared at Xin Wen,her tone filled with barely concealed satisfaction:"If I were really an undercover cop,I guess I didn't come to the wrong place!"

"What do you mean?"Xin Wen's well-shaped eyebrows shot up.She gestured to An Ye to stop his attempt to persuade her,and stared at Lan Nian,asking.

"I mean exactly what you think...Sorry,carry on,I didn't mean to interrupt!"Lan Nian said,not forgetting to wink at Xin Wen in a flirtatious manner,and then turned to leave.

After stabbing someone in the back,she wants to leave as if nothing happened?!

Xin Wen immediately raised her voice and said in a sarcastic tone,"Lan Nian,you and my bodyguard aren't having some secret lover's relationship,are you?"

Want to compete in using words to get the upper hand?I'll play along!

"Mr.Xin,we are..."An Ye was sweating profusely and nervously interjected.

"Boss Xin,you don't need to be informed of all your subordinates'personal affairs,do you?"Blue Nian turned around gracefully and shot back with a smile.Seeing Xin Wen's face becoming more strained,she added fuel to the fire by nodding toward his room,"Hurry up.Your little darling is about to get angry!"

"Blue Nian!!"An Ye could no longer restrain himself,and hurriedly stopped Blue Nian,who was getting more and more excited,with a stern voice.He kept winking at her,"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"

"Nian Nian?"The familiar name only added to Xin Wen's irritation.He let out a deep breath and then slammed the door in a fit of anger.

But that wasn't enough for him.He also managed to hurl a classic remark through the door gap:"Unreasonable!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"Blue Nian immediately shouted back from outside the door.

Oh my God,An Ye almost bumped his head against the wall!
