Emperor Shao's exclusive sweet wife

Cheng Zhijie felt even more distressed, "Don't be like this... If uncle sees you like this, he won't feel at ease in heaven."

Although he said so, Cheng Zhijie actually blamed Lin Beiqi a bit.

It was because of Lin Beiqi's plan that Lin Lanni became like this.

Cheng Zhijie thought that if Lin Beiqi hadn't done that, then Lin Lanni wouldn't be in such pain.

Lin Beiqi is too conceited, thinking that Chu Junbei is Lin Lanni's reliance, but Chu Junbei is already engaged, and the relationship with Qiao Ran is so good, Lin Lanni lives in Chu Junbei's house like now, and her status is It's also embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and said softly: "Lanny, I will take care of you, or I will rearrange your residence for you, and you move out..."

"No." Lin Lanni shook her head and refused without even letting Cheng Zhijie finish speaking. Her voice was very low and hoarse, but she said firmly, "My father entrusted me to Junbei before he died. , he hopes that Junbei can take care of me... If I move out, my dad will be worried."

"but……"

"Stop talking." Lin Lanni interrupted Cheng Zhijie again, "Zhijie, I would like to live in Junbei's house, I still have things to do..."

She finally raised her head slowly and looked at the man squatting beside her, "I can't let my father die in vain, you know?"

Looking at Lin Lanni's red eyes, Cheng Zhijie suddenly understood something.

Pupils shrunk, Cheng Zhijie asked, "So you live in Chu's house because..."

"I've said it before, so that my father can rest assured." Lin Lanni turned her head, "There is nothing else besides this."

Cheng Zhijie didn't ask any more questions, but he already had some guesses in his mind.

He had never seen Lin Lanni like this.

The Lin Lanni in his memory has always been so gentle and considerate, she didn't even dare to kill a fish.

It was the first time he saw such an expression on Lin Lanni's face.

After a long time, Cheng Zhijie let out a slight sigh. He put one hand on Lin Lanni's shoulder and said helplessly, "If you need my help, just tell me."

He spoke very solemnly, as if making a lifetime promise: "Lenny, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."

Even if you are against the world, I will stand with you.

That night, Chu Junbei didn't come home during dinner, Qiao Ran chatted with Lin Lanni for a while after eating.

Qiao Ran had no class the next day, so she asked Lin Lanni to go shopping together, and Lin Lanni agreed.

That night, after Qiao Ran went back, she planned the itinerary for the next day. She wanted to take Lin Lanni for a stroll and help Lin Lanni get out of this haze as soon as possible.

Someone knocked on the door, Qiao Ran thought it was Pei Hao, and said casually, "Come in."

But when the door opened, she took a look and realized that the person who came in was not Pei Hao at all, but Pei Xianglin.

Seeing Pei Xianglin, Qiao Ran's face became a little unnatural, but she quickly managed her expression well and asked with a smile, "Cousin, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Pei Xianglin was holding a fruit plate in her hand, and smiled at Qiao Ran, with an easy-going smile, "Seeing that you haven't slept yet, I cut some fruit and brought it to you."

Glancing at Qiao Ran's hand, she asked, "Are you going out to play tomorrow?"

"Ah, take a friend to go shopping." Qiao Ran replied.

Pei Xianglin nodded, and didn't ask who that friend was, but said something about the company.

Recently, Pei Xianglin and Pei Chengqi are very well-behaved in the company, and they cooperate well with Pei Hao. Qiao Ran doesn't go to the company much. Hearing that Pei Xianglin suddenly talked about the company to him today, he felt strange and asked, "Cousin, How did you tell me about this?"

Pei Xianglin lowered her eyelashes, with a look of regret, "I was not good in the past, I was self-righteous, Xiao thought that I shouldn't think about Xiao, and did a lot of things that I'm sorry to you. Qiao Ran, you will I joined the company, so I also hope to take this opportunity to mend our relationship."

"Isn't it good that we are like this now? There is no need to fix it." Qiao Ran said, "Besides, the previous things are over anyway, and I don't take it to heart."

Pei Xianglin seemed relieved, "That's good."

After a pause, she said again: "I have a dinner appointment with Ruiyu tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

"I won't go, I have an appointment with a friend tomorrow." Qiao Ran declined.

"That's it... That's right, you just said it." Pei Xianglin seemed a little disappointed, "It's your credit that Grandpa let me out. Ruiyu and I have been thinking of thanking you, but you are so busy, so we never did." Chance……"

Listening to this, Qiao Ran felt that something was wrong, and quickly asked, "Cousin, are you... dating Senior Xie?"

Pei Xianglin's eyes dodged a little, as if she was very embarrassed, and her smile was a little shy, "Ah...you saw it?"

Qiao Ran pursed her lips and said nothing.

Although she hoped that Pei Xianglin had really changed, she was always wary of this person.

If Pei Xianglin just used Xie Ruiyu...

But this is someone else's business, and it's hard for her to say too much as an outsider.

Qiao Ran scratched her hair and said after a while, "Congratulations."

For Qiao Ran's congratulations, Pei Xianglin smiled sweetly. She put down the fruit plate, said "rest early", and turned to go out.

Every word and deed is very different from before.

Qiao Ran locked the door and sighed heavily.

Now she suddenly doubted whether she was right or wrong in speaking for Pei Xianglin.

But it was useless to think too much, she had to take Lin Lanni out to play the next day, so she washed up and went to bed after eating two pieces of fruit.

The next morning, Qiao Ran went to Chu's house to pick up Lin Lanni, and Yang Yue was also there.

At that time, Wu Shuhua and Lin Lanni were eating breakfast. When they saw Qiao Ran coming, they immediately took Qiao Ran's hand and said to eat together, but Qiao Ran had already eaten, so she politely declined, and Lin Lanni didn't ask her to wait too long. After a while, he ate two casual bites and went out with her.

Qiao Ran was a little worried, and asked her, "Are you full?"

Lin Lanni smiled, "I'm full."

After thinking about it, Lin Lanni said again: "Speaking of which, I'm still several years older than you. Although I'm not in a good mood recently, you don't have to take care of me like a child."

Qiao Ran opened her eyes wide, "How many years older are you than me?"

"Yes, Junnan and I are of the same age." After getting into the car, Lin Lanni continued, "Actually, I mentioned to Junbei before that I am so much older than you. If you are called sister-in-law, will you I'm sorry, Junbei said that Junnan has always called it that way, so I feel relieved."

Qiao Ran opened her mouth and let out a soft "ah".

Can't tell, she always thought that Lin Lanni was about the same age as her.

Qiao Ran had already told Yang Yue where he was going before he came, so Yang Yue didn't ask, and he drove the car on his own even though the two girls were chatting in the back seat.

What Qiao Ran took Lin Lanni to was a garden, which was regarded as a relatively iconic building in Su City.

"I heard from Junbei that you haven't been to Suzhou City for many years. You should have been here before, but it was renovated later, so I'll take you to see it." Qiao Ran said.

The scenery in the garden is very good. Although it is winter, the green bamboos are still tall and straight. Under the small bridge, the koi in the pond are also swimming happily, and there are still plants growing on the rockery.

"It has indeed changed a lot." Lin Lanni said as she walked, "I was only ten years old at that time, and I went back to China with my father. After I left that time, I never came back. When he was on a business trip to the United States."

Qiao Ran nodded, feeling admiration in her heart.

In other words, Chu Junbei and Lin Lanni should not meet much, but it is really not easy to have such a good relationship after so many years.

There was a private kitchen near the garden, and the three of them wandered around until noon, when Qiao Ran took Lin Lanni over for dinner.

It's just that they didn't expect that they would meet Pei Xianglin and Xie Ruiyu at the entrance of that private restaurant.

At that time, Xie Ruiyu was holding Pei Xianglin's bag in his hand, and was talking softly to Pei Xianglin with his head tilted. He didn't even see Qiao Ran and the others. He only looked over when Pei Xianglin called Qiao Ran's name.

"Qiao Ran? Are you here to eat too?" Xie Ruiyu asked.

Qiao Ran let out an "ah", suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

It's not that she has never seen Xie Ruiyu and Pei Xianglin together, she even thought they matched well when she saw them before, but looking at it now...

Xie Ruiyu took good care of Pei Xianglin, but Pei Xianglin... didn't seem to have Xie Ruiyu in her eyes.

"Senior Xie, you and my cousin are also here..."

"Well, I told you last night, Ruiyu and I have a dinner appointment today." Pei Xianglin cut off Qiao Ran's words, smiling coquettishly and kindly, "Since we have met, why don't we go together. "

Xie Ruiyu also said: "Yes, let's go together."

Xie Ruiyu had already spoken, and Qiao Ran couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to introduce them and Lin Lanni to each other, and then went in together.

Pei Xianglin should come here to eat often, and knows the service staff here, and recommends some good dishes when ordering, and Xie Ruiyu is cleaning the tableware for her.

The last person ordered two dishes, Qiao Ran was talking with Lin Lanni, Xie Ruiyu was chatting with Pei Xianglin, as for Yang Yue, he never spoke much, just sitting on a chair.

While talking, Qiao Ran would look at Xie Ruiyu and Pei Xianglin from time to time.

It seems that Xie Ruiyu really cares about Pei Xianglin, even the little things.

She felt a little distressed.

Xie Ruihan has always disliked Pei Xianglin, and I don't know if Xie Ruihan knows about their relationship.

Seeing that Qiao Ran seemed to have something on her mind, Lin Lanni asked her, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's okay." Qiao Ran came back to her senses, "Sorry, I was distracted."

Pei Xianglin immediately asked with great concern: "Qiao Ran, are you not feeling well? Or are you too tired recently?"

Qiao Ran shook her head and said it was all right.

Xie Ruiyu said: "The final exam is coming soon, Qiao Ran, you are fine, don't worry."

Qiao Ran smiled and took a sip of tea.

Why is she worrying about this?
After chatting casually for a few more words, Xie Ruiyu finally said what he had been wanting to say since we met: "Qiao Ran, no one else knows about my relationship with Xianglin for the time being, can you help us keep it a secret?"
