Chapter 13: Chapter 13: I Really Don’t Know What Lu Xiangxiang Sees in Bo Yunshen!

Lu Xiang twisted her brow and said, "All right, all right, Auntie promises you, in three days! Within three days, I will definitely let you see your daddy!"

Yinyin’s eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Lu Xiang with half-belief and half-doubt, and asked, "Really?"

Lu Xiang didn’t hesitate to nod her head; she rubbed Yinyin’s head and whispered, "But baby, let’s get this straight first, this is a little secret between just the two of us; you can’t tell your mommy! Can you promise that?"

Yinyin cheered and nodded vehemently, then hugged Lu Xiang and planted a kiss on her, saying, "Auntie Xiangxiang, you’re so nice!"

No sooner had she spoken than the kitchen door was pulled open, and Qin Yan emerged with two bowls of noodles, seeing the smile on Yinyin’s face, she relaxed and started speaking in an easy tone:

"What’s making you so happy? I heard your voice all the way from the kitchen. What did you tell Auntie? Share it so mommy can be happy too!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiang stared at Yinyin, sending the little one several looks. Yinyin’s eyes roamed and, tilting her little face, she said, "Auntie promised to take me to the amusement park this weekend!"

Qin Yan’s eyebrows arched; she was busy with work and previously, Yinyin had mentioned wanting to go to an amusement park but she had never found the time, no wonder she was so happy.

"Alright, alright, aren’t you hungry? Go wash your hands and come here to eat your noodles!"

After the meal, Lu Xiang glanced at her phone, which lay quietly without a single message. She took it into the bathroom and dialed Gu Jinyan’s number.

She sat on the toilet for two or three minutes before hesitantly making the call.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up.

Lu Xiang bit her lip and said, "Gu Jinyan, you saw the text I sent you, didn’t you? Where are you right now?"

"What text? I haven’t looked at my phone," Gu Jinyan responded, somewhat confused, adding, "I’m at Old Bo’s place!"

"In that case, do me a favor. Check your phone later. No matter what, you have to get this done! If you don’t help me, we’re finished!"

Lu Xiang rattled off these words and promptly hung up the phone.

Hai Wan Xiang Xie.

After Gu Jinyan ended the call, he noticed an unread text message on his phone.

He unlocked the phone and glanced at it, his face instantly darkening as if coated with soot.

Damn it, does Lu Xiang have a hole in her brain?

Gu Jinyan, barely concealing his anger, stood beside Bo Yunshen’s liquor cabinet, casually grabbed a bottle, opened it with a corkscrew, then took two glasses and walked into the living room.

The layout of Hai Wan Xiang Xie was immediately apparent at a glance, and the interior design matched Bo Yunshen’s personality, mainly in black, white, and grey tones.

The table was empty and bare of anything. It was clean, sure, but it felt a little empty. A dark grey carpet surrounded the table, with no patterns, and the white floor had intricate patterns carved into it.

Gu Jinyan’s lips twitched. The only pleasant things in Bo Yunshen’s Hai Wan Xiang Xie were the liquor cabinet at the entrance and, after exiting the door, the garage about ten meters away.

The cabinet housed a treasure trove of world-renowned liquors, and the garage boasted covetable top-of-the-line luxury cars.

Just from Bo Yunshen’s interior design choices, it was evident that he wasn’t big on emotional intelligence.

Gu Jinyan sneered, truly wondering what Lu Xiang saw in Bo Yunshen!

He reined in his emotions, set the wine glasses on the table, and began pouring two servings from the wine bottle. He placed one of the glasses in front of Bo Yunshen.

He then pinched the remaining cup’s stem and gave it a shake, the bright red liquid painted a rosy hue on the tall glass. The dim lights in the room fell upon the wine, reflecting a hazy glow.

Gu Jinyan, with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, sat in a languid pose on the armchair, teasing, "Old Bo, you’ve been hitting the headlines quite a bit lately. Nowadays, journalists don’t care much for professional ethics, but I can’t seem to detect a hint of femininity in Hai Wan Xiang Xie."

Bo Yunshen’s eyes darkened, and he coldly glanced at the bottle of wine Gu Jinyan had opened.

He didn’t speak, but Gu Jinyan didn’t mind. Their friendship was deep, and he was as casual as could be. Despite the weighty looks Bo Yunshen gave him from time to time, he could still spare a thought to consider how a cleanliness-obsessed scumbag like Bo Yunshen, with such a strong sense of personal domain, would ever bring a woman home!

Gu Jinyan’s peach blossom eyes twinkled as he spoke mockingly, "The women in Tong City are so strange these days, bending over backward to climb into your bed. And those who can’t manage it are thinking of making me steal a piece of your underwear for them! Don’t you think that’s a tad sick?"

Bo Yunshen took a sip of his red wine, his lips turning an even more vivid red from the action. A vague and nearly invisible impatience leaked from the corners of his indifferent eyes.

"Did you come here just to tell me these boring stories?"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow, his tone heavier with mockery, "Boring? I find it quite interesting!"

A vein throbbed on Bo Yunshen’s hand as he said, "If there’s nothing else, you better leave. I’m going upstairs to sleep!"

"Hey, look at you, why so dull?"

Bo Yunshen, unfazed, walked past Gu Jinyan. The man’s steps were firm as he strode toward the staircase.

At the same time, Gu Jinyan’s phone vibrated. He pulled it out to see a message from Lu Xiang.

[Send the thing over to me quickly, I’m in a hurry!]

[If I don’t see it in half an hour, we’re through!]

Gu Jinyan snorted coldly in irritation.

"Oh, right." Bo Yunshen’s voice suddenly rang out. Gu Jinyan, feeling like a guilty thief, locked his phone and turned to look at Bo Yunshen, asking, "What is it?"

"Remember to close the door when you leave!"

Gu Jinyan: "...Oh!"

Bo Yunshen went upstairs, and after hearing the door to the master bedroom click shut, Gu Jinyan stood up with a gloomy face and walked toward the bathroom.

Bo Yunshen was a germaphobe and could change clothes several times a day. He pushed open the door of the bathroom and after rifling through Bo Yunshen’s laundry for a moment.

He found Bo Yunshen’s underwear and scooped it into an empty bag that was lying around.

Gu Jinyan cursed Lu Xiang as a pervert in his mind, then left with a dark expression on his face.

If Lu Xiang hadn’t approached him today to steal something from Bo Yunshen, he would have remained oblivious to Lu Xiang’s crush on Bo Yunshen!

The more he thought about it, the sourer his expression became. Wasn’t she supposed to be close with Qin Yan? How come she was secretly pining for Old Bo?

He had thought her friendship with Qin Yan was as deep as the ocean; it turned out to be just plastic flower sisterhood!

With these sour thoughts, Gu Jinyan stepped outside and immediately called Tong City’s rapid delivery service. After entering the address Lu Xiang had sent him, he tapped his forehead.

He now felt like he was the one with holes in his brain!
