Chapter 303 Mom Has No Shame
Early in the morning, the sleeping world gradually awakened, and the red clouds on the horizon were filled with the colors of summer.
Not one bit inferior to autumn's yellow, winter's white, or spring's green.
Birds chirped in twos and threes, while the summer cicadas sang loudly in chorus, as if all were doing morning exercises—exceptionally lively.
In the bedroom.
Ye Fan walked out of the bathroom. Having just taken a shower, he pulled open the curtains and looked at the scene outside, feeling a wave of inner peace.
He cleaned up the room, folded the quilt neatly, and after finishing everything, he pulled his suitcase downstairs into the living room—unexpectedly seeing Lan Xi sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.
"Lan-jie, you're up early."
"Just a habit."
Lan Xi smiled with her lips closed and waved at Ye Fan, "Come, I just so happen to have something to say to you."
Ye Fan wasn't surprised. He pushed his suitcase over and sat down on the sofa with a smile, saying, "Lan-jie, if there's anything you want to remind me of, just say it. I'll carry it out strictly."
Ye Fan's attitude made Lan Xi very satisfied. She slowly opened her mouth: "There's not much to remind you of. This time Xiao Xi is going to Linhai with you, to be honest, I'm still a little worried. But I trust that you'll take good care of Xiao Xi. Take it slowly—this girl won't hold out for long."
The beginning of her words was fairly normal, but as she went on, it became a little…
Ye Fan's face showed a strange expression. He asked curiously in a low voice, "Lan-jie, why are you so supportive of me pursuing Xiao Xi?"
"Logically speaking, with my family background, I'm not good enough for Xiao Xi, but it seems like you're always helping me create opportunities."
This question had been bottled up in his heart for a long time, and he finally had the chance to ask.
"There's no such thing as so many whys."
Lan Xi's face was full of a smile as she said, "Xiao Fan, in love, there's no such thing as who's good enough for whom—only whether you're suitable or not. Even a mountain of delicacies worth a fortune can't do without a two-yuan packet of salt."
"Back then, the situation between your uncle and me was pretty much the same as between you and Xiao Xi now. I've never placed much importance on external conditions. I think you're a good kid, and besides, Xiao Xi relies on you a lot. I have no reason to stand in the way."
Ye Fan nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. "Lan-jie, thank you. I'll get along well with Xiao Xi."
"Good luck!"
Lan Xi put down her coffee cup and glanced at the time. "It's almost seven o'clock. I'll go wake up Xiao Xi. I didn't make breakfast this morning. You and Xiao Xi remember to eat something on the plane. When you get to Linhai, give me a call."
"Okay."
Watching Lan Xi head upstairs, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile.
Lan-jie, yyds!!!
This phrase, never goes out of style!
In the pink boudoir, Ning Xi was quietly sleeping, curled up alone in the quilt like a quiet and well-behaved little kitten, having a sweet dream.
No one knew what she was dreaming about, but a silly and cute smile appeared on her beautiful face.
When Lan Xi entered her daughter's room, she happened to see this scene. She was a bit reluctant to wake her up. She tiptoed to the bedside and gently tidied up her daughter's cloud-like scattered hair.
The light movements made the sleeping Ning Xi purse her rosy lips. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she let out a low, almost inaudible whimper.
Since Ning Xi was lying on her side, the curves of her figure were especially striking. Lan Xi also noticed this and couldn't help but glance down, feeling a bit depressed.
"Xiao Xi, wake up."
"…Mm, Mom, let me sleep a little longer."
Ning Xi slowly opened her sleepy eyes. When she saw her mother sitting by the bed, she hugged her mother's arm and mumbled, "I went to bed a bit late last night, so I'm still sleepy."
Lan Xi's face was full of affection, and she said softly, "I'd love to let you sleep longer too, but it's already seven in the morning. If you sleep any longer, you'll miss the flight. Are you not planning to go to Linhai?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing that, Ning Xi's foggy brain instantly became much clearer.
She rubbed her warm eyes and sat up with difficulty. Because of her movement, the strap of her nightgown slipped off her fragrant shoulder, revealing a striking patch of fair skin, and the room instantly filled with a hint of springtime allure.
Lan Xi glanced at it and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. She reached out and pulled the strap back up. "Xiao Xi, when you get to Linhai, wear regular pajamas to bed. There are some in your suitcase. Don't wear nightgowns—it's easy to expose yourself."
"…Okay."
Ning Xi paused for a moment, then nodded obediently.
Lan Xi gently rubbed her daughter's head and said with a smile, "Alright, hurry up and wash up. Xiao Fan is already waiting downstairs. Once you're ready, set off. Have fun in Linhai."
"…Mm."
Ning Xi nodded lightly. Her watery eyes blinked rapidly, and while her mother was off guard, she planted a kiss on her cheek.
Lan Xi pretended to be annoyed and wiped her face. "You brat, you haven't brushed your teeth—why are you kissing me?"
Ning Xi blew into her small hand, sniffed it with her delicate nose, and mumbled in a soft voice, "It clearly smells nice, and you still dislike me. Hmph!"
Lan Xi rolled her eyes in exasperation, pointed at the spot her daughter had kissed, and said proudly, "That place belongs to your dad. If you want to kiss me next time, you'll need your dad's permission."
"Tch—"
Ning Xi covered her face with both hands, "Mom, you're so shameless…"
Lan Xi: "..."
Then, a clear, wind-chime-like sound of laughter echoed through the room.
At 7:30 in the morning, Ning Xi gracefully appeared in the living room.
Ye Fan stood up and said, "Xiao Xi, if you didn't show up any later, we'd have to reschedule the flight."
Ning Xi smiled brightly, walked to Ye Fan's side, her clear eyes twinkling, and her soft voice carried a hint of playfulness. "I slept late last night, so I just… stole a little more sleep."
As she spoke, her fists were held up to her chest, and her pitiful expression made Ye Fan feel overwhelmed. He said gently, "Xiao Xi, do you know how dangerous you look right now? Super dangerous!"
Just as Ning Xi was about to say something, she caught sight of her mother coming downstairs from the corner of her eye and quickly put her hands down, afraid her mother might notice something.
"Enough chatting, you two. Zhuang Li is waiting at the door. Hurry up and leave."
"We're on it."
Ye Fan nodded and stacked the three suitcases together, easily lifting them up as he walked outside.
Seeing this, Ning Xi covered her mouth in surprise.
She didn't know how heavy Ye Fan's suitcase was, but she did know her own two were really heavy.
And he just carried them like that?
So impressive…
Watching the car drive off, Lan Xi stood at the door for a while, her face full of emotion.
Before she knew it, her daughter had reached the age to date.
Time really flies!
Along the way, Zhuang Li couldn't help but sneak glances at Ye Fan from time to time.
He really couldn't figure out what kind of spell this kid had cast on Sir and Madam—to the point where they actually agreed to let Miss go to Linhai with him. When he heard the news last night, he even thought he was dreaming.
Noticing Zhuang Li's strange behavior, Ye Fan teased him, "Brother, do I look that handsome?"
