A Miao screamed quietly, "Crap!"
She quickly stood in front of Zhou Xiao. "This is my friend."
"I know." Shen Xinglan slowly walked in.
He meant that he knew that A Miao failed to steal the jade pendant the first time because of this woman. However, for Zhou Xiao, it sounded like he actually knew her, so she pushed A Miao away.
"Hello! I am A Miao's friend and I..." She stopped speaking and stared at the man in front.
"How handsome!" Zhou Xiao had never seen such a man, who was exuding an imposing manner. His eyes were as delicate as a painting with thick ink.
"What did you say about her?" Shen Xinglan interrupted Zhou Xiao's delusion and turned his eyes to A Miao.
Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, and stared at A Miao with a big smile, "See?" Then she said to Shen Xinglan, "A Miao said that you are coming back. She wants me to go."
"I am talking to you." Shen Xinglan walked to A Miao and noticed that she was trembling because of his movement.
A Miao was afraid that Shen Xinglan would get angry, so she did not dare to move. She whispered, "I will send her back now."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiao did not figure out the situation.
Shen Xinglan loosened his tie and sat down. "Although you are A Miao's friend, here is our home. I can't allow my fiancee to be bullied."
He pursed his lips and added, "In the future... Please don't come here anymore."
"You...what are you talking about?" Zhou Xiao was stunned, looking at Shen Xinglan and A Miao. "A Miao, did you tell him to do this?"
A Miao sighed, "He is right. I will go to see you in the future!"
"You!" Zhou Xiao looked at her incredulously and her eyes turned red. "I... I will tell my mother that you are bullying me!" She said while pointing at Shen Xinglan, "And you, you..."
"Shen II, send her away." How arrogant Shen Xinglan was and how could he tolerate her screaming here.
Zhou Xiao shot A Miao an angry glare and said, "I don't want to see you again!"
"Please, Miss Zhou." Shen II reached out.
A Miao hurriedly kept up with them, but Zhou Xiao ignored her and rushed into the car.
"Miss." Shen II opened the front door. "You can sit here!"
A Miao thanked him and got in. The car quickly left the villa. Shen Xinglan sat alone in the living room with a dark expression.
"Boss?" Shen I said. "What happened? He was in good mood just now..."
Shen Xinglan was regretting this.
He had told himself a million times before that he should keep far from this woman in the future. When she started school, she would move out. As long as she was under his control, she would not be able to go anywhere in the future if he needed her.
However, when he saw her being bullied, he was so angry. He helped her, but she left without saying thanks.
"I go to take a shower, and tell me when the woman comes back." Shen Xinglan shot Shen I a glare before he stood up.
Shen I, who was so unlucky, nodded. "Got it."
On the way to her home, Zhou Xiao did not speak and kept crying. When they arrived at the old house, Song Baohua just got back from the booth. When she saw her daughter come back crying, she was shocked.
"What happened?" As she saw A Miao, who was behind, she rested assured. "Xiaoxiao, why are you crying?"
Zhou Xiao wowed and threw herself to the bed. No matter how her mother asked, she made no response.
"Auntie Song..." A Miao pulled Song Baohua's sleeve. "Let's go out and have a talk."
The two stood in the corridor and Song Baohua saw A Miao in a dilemma. She said, "A Miao, tell me the truth. Has she troubled you again?"
"I am not afraid of that." Then she told Song Baohua about Zhou Xiao's performance this time and last time, looking at Song Baohua with concern. "If she goes on like this, it will ruin her. But she doesn't understand, and I don't know what to do."
Song Baohua nodded solemnly. "You did it well. I have never wanted her to go to you. I know my own daughter."
"She has a strong vanity since she was young. I am worried that she cannot stand the temptation of your circle, but she doesn't listen to me."
She sighed and held A Miao's hand. "I know that you are sensible. If she goes to see you again, you just refuse her directly. I will keep an eye on her and prevent her from going out again."
Even though they discussed this for a long time, they could not figure out a good way. They had to temporarily watch Zhou Xiao. After A Miao returned to the school, she would have no place to go.
After that, A Miao hurried back to the villa.
When Shen I saw her back, he said quickly, "Miss, Boss wants to see you when you are back."
He felt that if he told A Miao to find Shen Xinglan on her own initiative instead of telling him A Miao was back, Shen Xinglan would be gladder.
As a result, A Miao was sent to Shen Xinglan's door by Shen I, who was making trouble for both her and himself.
"Boss, Miss A Miao is coming in!" Shen I knocked on the door. When he received no answer, he pushed the door open. "Miss, please go in."
A Miao actually felt a little regretful. She had never entered Shen Xinglan's room. Since Shen I had closed the door, A Miao had to cover her chest and bypassed a big screen.
"Is anybody in?" She looked at the surroundings.
His room was five times bigger than hers, which had a large antique bed in the middle. A Miao could not tell what material the black sheets were made off, but the patterns seemed to be flowing under the lights.
"Shen Xinglan!" She screamed and slowly moved a few steps inside when she suddenly heard the sound of water. Then a door suddenly opened on the wall, and Shen Xinglan, who was topless, came out from the inside.
Both of them were stunned, and then A Miao began to scream.
"Ah!!!" She turned and ran, covering her face. But she slammed into the screen and was bounced out. When she landed, she was tripped by something and fell straight on the big black bed.
"Tittered..."
His chuckle made A Miao forget the pain. When she just got up, she fell into the man's smiling eyes.
"It's so beautiful!" It seemed that the ink was suddenly fainting, and all the colors were vivid on the paper. It was so impressive that no one would be tired of this.
Unfortunately, this beautiful picture was only still for three seconds.
"Have you done seeing?" His slight sarcasm awaked A Miao. She quickly jumped out of bed, but the severe pain on her forehead made her groan.
Shen Xinglan dried his hair with the towel. A Miao flitted over his perfect abs and silently turned around. She felt that her eyes would be dug.
"Since you dare to come in, don't pretend to be shy." He threw away the towel, went to the bed, and sat down.
A Miao stuttering, "You... why you aren't wearing clothes?"
"I am not used to wear clothes in the bedroom."
A Miao didn't know if it was an illusion that she felt that his bath towel seemed to fall a little lower, and there was some sparse fluff revealing on the edge.
"Wait! Fluff? Black?"
A Miao suddenly blushed.
"Do you have business with me?" His voice sounded a little warmer than in the past, indicating that he was in a good mood.
"It's... It's Shen I...says...says you are looking for... me." A Miao felt her brain was going to stop working and her forehead hurt.
Shen Xinglan looked at A Miao, who was blushed, and suddenly felt so hot.
"I am going out." A Miao finally refound her tongue. She bowed and turned around. "Thank you for doing that in the afternoon. Zhou Xiao will not come here again."
Being unable to see her face clearly, Shen Xinglan thought that A Miao was blaming him for driving her friend away, and his good mood was gone.
"You are so stupid that even your only friend can trick you. I don't care about you and your friend, but they should not enter my house casually.
After saying this, he saw A Miao sway. He felt that he might have made a mistake. As he wanted to say something to make it up, he saw that A Miao looked up at him with a faint look.
"Rest assured, it won't happen again." She turned to open the door and left.
With a bang, Shen Xinglan didn't wake up for a long time. Then, he felt anger gushing from his heart. While he was thinking about how to deal with it, the phone rang.
"Hello." He glanced at the number and picked it up.
"When?"
"Okay."
"Never mind. Don't worry. I will take care of my fiancee."
The Ji Mansion.
"Is Xinglan coming?"
Ji Zeming hung up and nodded. "He will bring A Miao to dinner this weekend."
Bai Yongwei sighed with relief. "That's very nice. Then I will prepare for it in advance."
"Tell the servants to do it." Ji Zeming said thoughtfully before he remembered something. "Xinglan's mother left a pair of jade bracelets in the safe. Remember to take them out that day."
Bai Yongwei's face changed fast before no one could tell.
"You want to give them to her right now? I think we should wait until they are married." Bai Yongwei was somewhat worried. "You know Xinglan, if he doesn't like her later..."
Ji Zeming recalled the engagement that night. He was not a fool. It was obvious that the original fiancee was the other girl in the Xia family. His good son suddenly changed to another girl and slapped the faces of the Xia family in public.
"You are right." Ji Zeming rubbed his brows. "The kid is temperamental. Let's wait till they get married!"
Since she was sneered when she thanked Shen Xinglan sincerely, in the following days, A Miao was hiding from him. Fortunately, Shen Xinglan went out early every day, or she would not even dare to eat downstairs.
On Saturday, A Miao went downstairs to eat breakfast at 10 o'clock when she saw Shen I smiling at her. She knew it was not a good sign.
"Come in."
The two words stopped her from running. She walked into the restaurant slowly and saw Shen Xinglan sitting there in a cold expression.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" The atmosphere was too depressed, so A Miao had to speak first.
Shen Xinglan stared at her eyes and frowned. "Don't use the makeups."
"No!"
"I said you can." Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrow. "Go home for dinner with me at night."
A Miao was shocked. "Go home... dinner?"
"The Ji family." Shen Xinglan sipped a cup of coffee, "Don't wear the dull eyes."
A Miao thought and looked up. She said to him seriously, "I am sorry, I can promise you anything, but my eyes must be like this."
Before the man got angry, A Miao said word by word, "This is my mother's last wish."
