"Why do you want to eat at home?" Jian Yi asked lazily, still drowsy.
He Lichen was used to every question from the little girl and replied, "Xiyun came to the house for dinner at noon, so we ate together."
Hearing the word Xiyun, Jian Yi immediately sobered up and opened her eyes wide.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" He Lichen asked.
Jian Yi thought of the previous video, as well as herself and her uncle that night... She didn't want to face her uncle at all.
"Uncle, I can't go. I have something to do at noon." Jian Yi found an excuse and said.
"What's up?"
"I have a date?"
Date someone? He Lichen wondered, who would she date? Could it be that... she has someone she likes?
Thinking of this, He Lichen immediately became nervous and asked the little girl, "Who did you date?"
Jian Yi didn't expect it for a moment, but suddenly a person appeared in her mind and said, "I made an appointment with Lan Xu. I haven't seen Lan Xu for several days. I made an appointment with him to have lunch together."
Hearing that it was Lan Xu, He Lichen took back his guess and said in a better tone, "Well, let's forget it this time. Let's have dinner together next time."
"Well, okay, uncle," Jian Yi replied. After thinking about it, she added, "Uncle, I'm going to work next week. Can you take me to have a big dinner at noon someday?"
"Is the cold gone?" He Lichen asked.
"I've been fine for a long time." Jian Yi said that her body was much better now, and the traces on her body were all gone, and they were faintly invisible. My uncle would definitely not be able to tell.
"I will pick you up on Monday morning. After meeting you, I will decide whether you can go to work." He Lichen said that he had not met this girl and he was not sure of the true condition of her body, so he could not agree to her.
"Okay, then come pick me up early on Monday." Jian Yi said.
"Um."
After chatting with her uncle for a while, Jian Yi hung up the phone and immediately called Lan Xu again.
"Jian Yi, I finally waited for your call." Lan Xu was very excited when he answered Jian Yi's call.
"I just told my brother-in-law that we made an appointment to have dinner together at noon. If my brother-in-law asks you, you should answer him like this." Jian Yi said, her tone a little low.
"Yes, I understand," Lan Xu replied, and then asked, "Then, shall we... have dinner together at noon?"
There are many things that she wants to ask Jian Yi and talk to her about what happened a few days ago. Although Jian Yi didn't say anything, from the video she deleted, she already knows more or less what happened. Now,
I just want to be clearer and more certain, so I want to meet Jian Yi and talk to her.
Jian Yi was here and knew the reason for Lan Xu's excitement, so she said, "Well, let's eat together. You decide the restaurant. Send me the time and address later and I'll be there on time."
"OK."
…
After Jian Yi hung up the phone, she couldn't sleep at all and simply got up.
At eleven o'clock at noon, Jian Yi set off from the apartment and went to the restaurant.
At this time, Lan Xu also set off from the hotel and went to the restaurant.
As soon as Lan Xu drove out of the hotel, he received a call from Brother Lichen.
"Lan Xu, are you and Yiyi together?" He Lichen asked on the other end of the phone.
"No," Lan Xu knew what Brother Lichen meant by asking him, so he answered truthfully, "but I'm going to see Jian Yi. She and I have made an appointment to have dinner together at noon."
He Lichen was a little surprised at first, but after hearing what Lan Xu said next, his brows relaxed.
"Um."
Lan Xu didn't wait for Brother Lichen to say anything more and continued, "Brother Lichen, I know your precious Jian Yi. Don't worry, I will take good care of Jian Yi."
"Well..." He Lichen responded, as long as the person eating with the little girl is Lan Xu and not someone else, it would be fine. If she eats with someone she is not familiar with, he will still worry about her safety.
"If nothing happens, I'll hang up first."
"Um."
…
When Lan Xu came to the restaurant, he saw that Jian Yi had arrived, so he walked over. After greeting each other, they sat down to eat together.
But Lan Xu cared more about her things than eating.
"Jian Yi, what happened that day..." Lan Xu asked.
Jian Yi met Lan Xu's eyes and did not escape. On the contrary, in front of Lan Xu, maybe because of the trust in her heart, she did not hide at all what she felt in her heart and what she showed on the surface.
"If you want to know anything, just ask." Jian Yi said.
"You and Brother Lichen..."
"Well, we..." Jian Yi nodded, "That night, we... had sex."
Lan Xu was not surprised at all, because he had guessed all this.
"Then why didn't you tell Lichen? You also asked me to delete the monitoring." Lan Xu asked.
She knows that Jian Yi loves Brother Lichen in her heart. In the past, Jian Yi planned to let go and not be with Brother Lichen, but now things are different. She can tell Brother Lichen.
"What's the use of telling him? Destroy his marriage? Let him marry me?" Jian Yi asked.
"These are also possible." Although Brother Lichen is engaged, he is not really married yet, right? And people like Xu Xiyun, in their own hearts, feel that Jian Yi is a hundred times better than Xu Xiyun.
Jian Yi shook her head and said helplessly, "Forget it, I never thought about destroying my uncle's marriage."
She won't even let her brother-in-law marry her.
My brother-in-law doesn’t love me, so what’s the point of marrying me?
"But you and Brother Lichen..." Lan Xu stopped talking and Jian Yi answered.
"That night was just an accident." Jian Yi said, if my uncle had not been plotted by others, what happened later would not have happened.
Lan Xu knew that Brother Lichen was drunk that night. From the surveillance footage, Brother Lichen was unsteady when walking and looked very uncomfortable. He might have been drugged.
But I couldn't ask Jian Yi more about these things.
"Although it was an accident, Jian Yi, all this has happened. You and Brother Lichen... you already have a relationship. You can let Brother Lichen know this, and then you two can talk about it and see what happens next?" Lan
Xu told Jian Yi with his own thoughts.
"If Brother Lichen is like you and wants to pretend that this matter has never happened, then I will not say a word. Only the three of us know about this matter, and no fourth person will know about it." Lan
Xu said.
Jian Yi suddenly looked at Lan Xu and said, "Lan Xu, you are not allowed to say a word about this matter."
"But……"
"You are just not allowed to say it," Jian Yi was so anxious that she almost cried. "If you say it, we will become enemies completely. I will never care about you again."
After Jian Yi finished speaking, her eyes turned red.
Lan Xu felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, Jian Yi's words did not threaten him at all, but... (To be continued)
